I am hoping to compile a historical record of Ken Sugimori autograph sales data. Please feel free to add your personal transactions to help us create a thorough history.

This list is compiled into two sections:

  1. Confirmed Prices & Dates: Auction prices/dates confirmed through an auctioning company or best offer prices/dates extracted from https://130point.com

  2. Unconfirmed Prices & Dates: Historical sold listings found on sites like https://mavin.io that do not provide accurate prices/dates.

Only autographs authenticated by a grading company were included. This is a working document. There are some clear gaps pre-2022 that need to be filled in.

Yep, I agree with you. They were likely the listing prices, not the sold prices.

Wonder what’s going to happen with his future signings.

I heard a credible rumour that he might do some signing at Worlds 2023 in Japan.

For those who aren’t familiar with admiral, this is why he has the title “comedian”. :grinning:

If it helps the 700 unconfirmed sale of the scyther likely wasn’t paid and pretty confident it’s a fake autograph.

Also i bought the camerupt signed card from the ebay winner in may 2020 for $1250 via a private sale thru E4.

Haha any particular reasons it’s Iconic? Any cool story behind it? I love it just always ask myself why that was picked out of everything possible to be signed. Very happy to have it in my forever collection :slight_smile:

Not authenticated, but this piece sold for $7,000 on 8/18/22.

There is a similar graded copy listed for $90,000.

Curious whether multi-autograph cards will increase in popularity.

I can confirm the $5,999.99 sale for the Jumbo Winners Electabuzz Promo on ebay.

I also privately sold a Ken Sugimori signed Torchic, featuring a Torchic sketch, for $10,000 a couple weeks ago.

Thanks! I would need the Torchic card details, a picture of the item if possible, and the date of the sale.
