Hey there, i am looking for some input on this card.
i have the opportunity to buy it in private for my PC but since Arita signed cards are something new to me i would like to get some additional info.
mainly looking for estimated value
is this card liquid if i where to sell/trade it ?
does everything look good ? i know its authenticated but still i wanna make sure
does the fact that it does not have a date impact value ? most that i see are signed with a date.
thanks in advance !
From my laymen, not at all collecting autos, POV the thing that brings this down for me (assuming it’s authentic) is that the marker used for signing could not have possibly been a worse choice. I had to do multiple takes looking at the card to see the Charizard sketch, and didn’t even notice the actual signing part until the 2nd photo.
I’d personally take that into account before deciding to spend money on any auto.
The card itself is a poor choice for signature. It’s too wild.
Not having a date doesn’t really impact the card, artist have missed dates and personalizations before.
However the marker choice is very poor since you can’t see the auto or sketch very good. Maybe it looks better in person, but I’m doubtful.
Also, the card just being authentic and not graded doesn’t help it’s case. Poor condition cards don’t command a premium compared to a psa 8 - 10 on a WOTC card.
If you really wanted an Arita signed LC charizard, I’d say buy a better condition card and go to an event he’s having and just get it signed yourself in a bolder color.
I’m not trying to be a hater but you first say you want to buy it for your personal collection, but you actually want to know what the value is if you were going to sell it. If you are buying just to flip (fine), then I wouldn’t because I literally thought the flame was a huge water stain on immediate impression and couldn’t see the Charizard or signature at all.
Definitely not, at least not in this condition and with the choice of marker color. There are plenty of cards that will hold their value better.
I am not an expert, but the card appears to be solid, not liquid. Hope this helps
