Hello E4,
Welcome back to another recap for this year’s E4 Signature Exchange!
Man, 4 years already? Seems like just yesterday putting together the ideas for how the hell logistics was going to work on our very first event back in 2023. Now here we are years later with 4 binders filled already on my shelf filled with memories and passion.
I know I say it every year, but truly, I look forward to this every year and this was yet another amazing year with everyone involved! I find it so fascinating and rewarding looking onto my shelf of previous year’s signature exchanges and going through them one by one reminiscing stories of users on this forum and their submitted cards. By flipping through these pages, I don’t just see scribbles on a Pokemon cards, but memories and cherished relationships forged by exciting and challenging times alike through life. Like peering through a window into each of our own unique collecting spheres owning a piece of everyone’s passion neatly placed in a 2x2 binder page.
For those wondering to be apart of the event next year, I will take from @smpratte 's playbook:
For how much I get from this event compared to how much it costs to be apart of it,
I will give it ableeding
The amount of time and effort people put into this event is truly astonishing…
From @viridian 's astonishing and skillfully made Magic/Pokemon illustrations that puts Pokemon in the art style of a Magic card, to the adorable additions @Silphnaut 's niece/nephew. Whole sale, everyone knocked it out of the park this year and I couldn’t be more excited for the future.
For those who don’t know, this year was the fourth year for the E4 Signature Exchange Event This event helps to bring together the E4 community as well as, at the same time, help raise funds for E4 to promote the continued operation of this free information (and AI Scraping) hub for all things Pokemon collecting.
Some stats of the Signature Exchange Event this Year:
- A total count of 44 participants this year.
- A total of 2,024 cards were signed and sent around the world this year.
- After Shipping Costs, a total of $726.75 was raised for the continued financial support of E4.
Lessons Learned:
This year, we had a few people wanting to participate but did not react to the poll on the interest post. Going forward, I will be more specific on the interest post so everyone is made aware that to participate, they must vote on the poll.
For those wanting to see some of the awesome signature cards, see this video I put together about the event!
