Yep, he signed some of my cards after dinner as well. We were too busy during the day, and I didnt want to keep waiting people who were in queue for 3 hours.
Check this vid I did for my friend @pottsinator

I have to ask, how was the language barrier with Arita? Does he speak fluent English?

He is learning english… he is not so fluent in speaking but he is able to understand almost everything you are saying… you just have to speak slowly and with easy words. Our beautiful translator was surely a plus, and helped him and us so much.

It’s a good thing you got some with protection but going raw is more fun.
Wait, what?

I look forward to getting mine!!
Although I’ve already posted them in my collection thread, I also put them here in this article.
Thank you very much Gabriele, Marco and anyone else involved for this opportunity. I’ve also send a to Mitsuhiro Arita’s Facebook to thank him as well. I’m truly honored to have these unique cards in my collection.

Hi, so ok I have been sort of living under a rock these last 2 years…but trying to come out of it. Will someone please inform me more of these events?
I gather this is just Mitsuhiro Arita, and not other Pokemon card artists, is this correct?
What are all the locations and events he is coming to? Or where could I find such?
Lastly, there is a charge for signing cards is that correct? $15 I think someone said?
How much was it to make that base charizard turn shiny?
Sorry, but I’m just trying to catch up.
Anyone else going this coming Saturday? Would be nice to meet members from the forum 
I wish I could make it to the Jacksonville one, should be pretty awesome. Are you going to try to make it to the Ocala one as well?
Also, does anyone know if Mr. Arita charges more for a small sketch on the card? I had seen a couple of the cards where here sketched a Charizard or Pikachu head under his signature.
I have no idea on prices so I’m coming prepared just in case. I don’t know if I can make it to Ocala due to my school schedule in the summer but I would love to!
I got my bundle of goodies today and I love them all!! Definitely the highlights of my Rayquaza collection:). Thanks to @hazard24
