Gainesville is probably the closest, but that’s a tiny airport so unless you’re flying from Atlanta it will be much easier to get direct flights to/from Orlando.

I am flying in from LA, California. I can’t even find the airports for Gainesville & Ocala.
The only ones are available are Jacksonville and Orlando.

Hi all! On october 1st he is coming to France, so I will be driving from Spain to meet him and get my cards signed!
This is my very first time going to an event for this, so Im a complete newbie and have so questions maybe you can help me out.
The organization says that he will be dedicating cards (must be purchased) and a limit of 3 cards per person, one of these 1 he will do a headsketch for free. I think I only want my cards done headsketch, so I am bringing 2 friends with me to get as much done as possible.
My question is, in your expirience, if you can ask him to sign the card as I want ( for example, I prefer him to sign as “Mitsuhiro Arita” with english letters, instead of japanese. Then the name I guess I will sign my cards dedicated to me, as I just want to keep the cards for myself not speculate with the price.
Also I wanted to ask you what you think about the cards I wanted to sign.
I got 3 spanish base set charizards 1st ed, PSA 8, PSA 6 and CGC 7.5. I was planning on cracking all them, and get them signed with the headsketch like this
I understand it will also have added " To Fran". Personally it will mean so much for me having in my collection my spanish 1st ed charizard signed and dedicated to me. But I dont know if I should sign all of them or just 1, what you think? I will keep 1 of them forever for sure in my collection, but the other 2 was planning on selling them eventually, but dedicated to me seems difficult to sell them dont you think?
The other cards Id like to have headsketch are Base set Venusaur and Gyarados, Jungle Kangaskhan Clefable and Jigglipuff, Fossil Articuno Moltres and Zapdos, Dark Blastoise, Dark Dragonite and Dark Raichu, Aquapolis Umbreon Crystal Golem and Crystal Celebi
Too many cards, too many queues but will be well worth it

Welcome to e4, @Skyfall2017!
Those 2021 Stamp Box Promos will look incredible with an Arita signature. I definitely think that you should get them signed!

Idk if you’ll have time for so many, I’m watching a recap of the Ocala signing in 2019 and apparantly the line took 8 hours. WTF?!

It took that long, even with a fast pass?
I am trying to be there 4 hours early before the event opens up.

Anyone that is going to OcalaComicCon for the Arita signing, is there any trading event later that day or any after party for the event that weekend?
I’m not sure, even if you do get there super early, you’ll have to get in the back of the line after three cards. So if you want to do more than three could still take forever.
Yeah that’s understandable, I’ll be doing the one time VIP fast pass on the first day. So hopefully that gives me leverage 
How early should we arrive at the comic con (knowing that the event begins at 10 AM on Saturday) to have a chance at getting a signature? Also I’m assuming the 3 card maximum is per person.
I’ll be there too if anyone wants my autograph.

I was at Ocala all day yesterday. That guy likely stood in line 8+ hours to sell a card for 400 bucks…
