E4 Signature Exchange 2026 📜 🖋️ Sign ups ✅ OPEN ✅ (Closes JUNE 01)

“It’s not a phase mom!”

Welcome Back E4

It feels good to be right back at it with our yearly little treat :candy:
The E4 Signature Event, our little safe haven from all the big bad :cloud_with_lightning_and_rain: market :cloud_with_lightning_and_rain:.
Where in market talk, all fun & passion goes to die. Where it is all about high of a number can this cardboard card encased by plastic can go. :slot_machine:

Now we can finally press the reset :repeat_button: button and refocus our time and energy into things that matter the most in this hobby… community :houses:


What is this All About?

For those who are maybe a little lost in the sauce, 3 years ago in 2023 I started a fundraising event for E4 called The E4 Signature Exchange Event.

A fun fundraiser that brings the community here on E4 a little bit closer to home with the fun exchanging of personal signature cards to those whom you may talk to on a daily basis on the forum without ever meeting in person. This event serves as a yearly event for not only collecting everyone’s signature on their favorite card, but also a way for E4 to not become a financial burden for any single person but a funded place by collectors, for collectors.

So far since 2023, this event alone (after costs) has raised $2,292.89 for the continued operation of E4! :clap: :clap:
Thank you everyone that continues to put their time, effort, and personal skills into this event every year! YOU ALL make this event truly special.

If you want the full lore of the E4SSE, I would suggest reading back on these result threads that were at the end of each event:

2023 Signature Exchange
2024 Signature Exchange
2025 Signature Exchange


Last Year

Now with all the lore covered… we have made it to 2026 :partying_face:
I know we have a bunch of returning members and some newer faces on the daily threads that maybe interested in participating. I know this can be a little daunting at first, but please don’t feel you have to “earn” a spot in this fun community event. This is event is for all who are interested and would like to give back to the website that brings us all together <3

I have enjoyd evryone’s artistic skills over the years. Some of the most simplistic drawings always get me the most such as with @nults last year

Such a cute little dude packs so much character in that little flair of hair of his.

Or even the very skilled @viridian with this beautiful Pokemon x Magic card that places a pokemon into a Magic card

I want to show everyone’s unique and cute cards from last year, but I would rather you all check them out for yourselves :wink:

We have some extremely talented people that continue to come back year after year that I can’t thank them enough continuing to join us for this fun little event! It means so much to crack open the good’ol binder to flip page after page of the people I communicate on a daily basis on this forum.

Now that’s enough blabbering. This is the 4th time anyway that most of you have heard this speal before. Now for the meat and potatoes of the event:

So nice to see everyone re-up’ing for another year :date:

Every year sadley I get DM’s from fellow collectors and past SE participants if the event sign-ups were closed (in which they were indeed). They either completely missed the sign up sheet or only checked E4 maybe once a week.

To mitigated these issues, I will ping everyone that has ever been apart of a Signature Exchange Event so everyone gets a fair warning before this interest thread closes (in a couple weeks). I will put eeveryone into a private messaging group once the sign ups :locked: CLOSE :locked:

Don’t get mad @pfm
