A Doug Ferguson GX card, illustrated by the same person who did the Ishihara GX card, has been confirmed. It has the same number as the Ishihara. Interesting to see these cards featuring Pokemon personnel! Doug Ferguson was head of product development, but left in 2019.
I’ve seen both of them that you mentioned. I kind of like them. Arnt they pretty rare too? Can you provide us with some more back story @fourthstartcg
By the way does anyone have a real life photo of this lad? Would love to compare it to the card artwork, but can’t find anything about him on the interwebs.
Thanks for sharing! I wonder if there are more than just the three that popped up thus far (the English Ishihara GX and this Doug Ferguson GX, as well as the Japanese Ishihara & Pikachu GX). I must say, I am not a fan of Mike Cressy’s illustrations to be completely honest.
Wow I just am reading/seeing for the first time that Ishihara & Pikachu GX existed… It looks col!I really am curious what internal cards they have released over there.
Ishihara posted this picture on his twitter, stated he received it for his 61st birthday:
No idea how many copies were printed or if employees were given cards as well. For me it just means another extremely rare Pikachu card to track down, lol.
I was able to just speak with Doug Ferguson personally and wow was I blown away that I actually got a response. See below it appears that this card is much larger than it appears to be and is bigger than a normal jumbo card! possibly more than 5 in existence and Doug currently holds 5 himself. Also more speculation about Mr.Ishihara’s card!
So late to the party, but I wonder what one of these would go for if it ever hit the market. Doug Ferguson doesn’t have the appeal of Ishihara, but a unique card is still a unique card.
