Just get the outside of the case signed rather than cracking them out.

Hi guys! Yesterday I had the awesome opportunity of Mitsuhiro Arita again :heart_eyes: !!!
I wanted to share some of the pics of the encounter. I had the opportunity of talking more with him this time and it was awesome :blush:
Here are some of the picsā€¦
A pic of Mr. Arita and I

Arita signing some of my cards

Because the original trio is obviously the best!

Soā€¦ unlike the last time I met him, I wasnā€™t as nervous and I had the opportunity to talk to him a lot.
Letā€™s say that this picture explains what we talked aboutā€¦ :wink: It was soooo worth it :grin:

Donā€™t worry guys these werenā€™t the PSA 10 ones :wink:
He also told me it was his first time seeing the Team Rocket Briefcase, he didnā€™t know his Giovanni Full Art came inside the briefcase; he thought it was soo cool! :ninja:

More Team Rocket artwork he signed for me :blush:

Finally, my 1st Ed Red Cheeks Pikachu :stuck_out_tongue:

He said that so far there were no plans this year to come back to the states but hopefully he does. He seems to do a lot more events in Japan so Iā€™m hoping I get to see him again next year when we go to Japan.

The autos with the card art is amazing. Youā€™ve raised the bar for anyone collecting his autos.

Wow.

Awesome post about the meeting you had.

Signatures + detailed drawings of each Pokemon are so cool, I bet there was huge line of other fans waiting for their turn.

Thanks man! Itā€™s so hard to pick cards for him to sign because there are so many and most of them are either iconic, amazing or both!
