Did anyone get cards signed by Arita at the Malaysia TCG event this weekend? How was the event? Did everything go smoothly? Also feel free to show off any cards you got signed.
I really considered going but couldn’t justify dropping $500 per card plus a $700 flight
I didn’t but would love to see 'em if anyone did. 
I did, total costs were about 850 after paying for the ticket, my friend, and arita. They upcharged me at the counter despite having a ticket which they claimed were for arita’s commission fees though. I paid it regardless since i was so close
So 850 and that covered 3 sketch autos?
No. 850 per card
Dang thats crazy. At least with that price you got a sketch!
To be fair if i had went myself it wouldve been 5-600 haha
What the hell? That’s kind of shady. I calculated it out to be around 600 or 700 dollars per card including sketch.
Anyways glad you got your cards and sketches. But I am also glad I didn’t go now. It would have been a $4000 trip and then back to work the next day all tired and cranky (and feeling poor)
Edit: ahh I see you paid a friend to go for you. That’s why it seemed so much more expensive
Wow, that is expensive! To put it in perspective, a lot of MTG artists sign cards for $5-$20. Many Arita autos aren’t even selling for that on the secondary market.
Maybe this is what was needed to finally curb the rampant Arita auto flipping.
Theres a reason we picked the zards + mewtwo. The sketches sell for well over 1.5k so im fine with paying
The big sketches look great!
Wow those look amazing! How did he get so many? Was he allowed to go all three days even though it’s the same person?
It will be interesting to see what comes out of Kuwait. I wonder how much he’s charging at that event and if the prices vary depending on the convention. Lately I’ve noticed the prices have been all over the place but some include things that others don’t.
The sketches look great, specially the mouth close Charizard. something very different than the usual. The prices seem a bit steep to me personally but lot of good signatures. Was there a limit to the items you can get sketched or signed?
Cheers!
Supposedly 4 signatures was about $2000. 3 signatures about 1500 and so on. But I wonder if some people were allowed to go Friday, Saturday, and Sunday? Potentially that would be 12 signed cards!
Wait what? Are the prices being discussed in USD or the Malaysian Ringgit? I honestly though the 850 per card was not in USD but local currency. Sorry I grossly misread but that price is insane.
Cheers!
