Favorite personalized message from an eBay seller?

I ordered some carddass holos from a Japanese seller and they included this doodle on the cardboard packaging. I think it’s my favorite so far. Anybody else have a message or something they saved from a seller?

That is pretty awesome. Not a message but I had seller include a oragami pikachu that was really good quality. That was pretty cool.

Was it hiromiyo from eBay? I love the little origami Pokemon they include in their packages. Here is an example of the Sandshrew:

I love Japanese sellers. They know how to add extra value in personalized messages.

I wish I knew what happened to it, but years ago I got a couple of Gyarados cards with a couple of Magikarps added in for free. The seller had a paper Magikarp with a nice message added to it, similar to @merciersj.

I received this about 10 years ago with an ebay purchase, so much effort put into it!

Do messages literally from eBay count?

I have an origami Pokemon that’s been sitting on my desk for over a year now, I think from that same seller:

I don’t think the purchase was even Vulpix-related, I just lucked out and got one of my favorites.

I’ve gotten some some small thanks letters / notes, extra cards, origamis, and even an Umaibo snack. And there is a seller who sells lots of Pokemon Center stuff who always includes a pack of Japanese green tea with purchases.

I had a seller send me an oragami Raichu face that was colored. I still have it.

Here’s the best one I’ve gotten, from a Chinese seller.
Still have it tucked away somewhere :laughing:

The Japanese are definitely top notch when it comes to their sellings! I’ve only ever bought from one Japanese seller, the name was hiroyuki and miyoko. I bought a masaki alakazam, which had the most quantity and best quality photos of a card on the Ebay listing I’ve ever seen. The whole order was also packaged magnificently well too!

Anyway, they included an oragami pikachu in my order!

They also threw in a free mint Japanese xy evolutions haunter! Which I graded and it got a 10 haha. The alakazam graded a 9 by the way, should have been a 10 but PSA knicked a corner… I’m still salty about that when the card crosses my mind…

All in all I give this Japanese seller a 10/10!

I also still have two origami Pikachus on my desk from hiromiyo. One of the best Japanese sellers on eBay imo. They always take so much care in their shipments and contact with buyers.

I also really like the personal messages the artists include with their extended/altered Base Set Pikachus.

Oh, and I also have this nice hand-drawn doodle when I purchased my Spanish Art Academy Pikachu from the winner two years back:
