Hey guys so I just seen this post. Looks like I missed out but definitely count me in next time. I seen one of your YouTube videos about this smpratte I hope I spelled that right. But I thought you said it got cancelled cuz people were messaging the artist. Looks like it did go thru tho? And I’m guessing no one knows when or if the next one will happen?
The event that got cancelled was something separate that a few key people within the hobby were trying to set up but sadly that did get squashed by a few bad apples who wanted to spoil the party because they weren’t a part of it.
Fukudo did end up coming to the regional in Dallas, we asked him in the private panel if he would consider coming back sooner than 15 years and he chuckled and said maybe. He was very humbled by how many fans he had here but after talking with him you could tell he was a reserved guy and not used the spotlight. In fact, he’s really the only artist who doesn’t live in Tokyo he lives in a remote area away from everything and seems to prefer it that way. It was a real honor to meet him.

Why thank you. And easing my way back in turned into a fun healthy addiction haha. Trying to catch up on wotc holo’s or better in first edition. When I was 12 I collected base set jungle and fossil before stopping. I wish I still had my first edition Charizards 
now even a ungraded one is demanding a heavy price tag
