I’ve had the fortune of witnessing pure cringe at the Yuka Morii signing event in London. As is the norm with these events, the artist will not sign Pokemon cards. There were plenty of warnings before meeting her. Signs were displayed on the televisions in the waiting area, and event coordinators handed out event cards to be signed as you entered the venue.

Still, leave it to English people to ignore instructions written in their own language. I would say nearly everyone in the queue was trying their luck with a Pokemon card. I even saw a woman clutching a Shroomish card for at least an hour. Anyway, we get close to the front and there is a guy who brought a slab to be signed, the Snivy and Venusaur tag team card. Yuka Morii’s translator tells him they cannot sign it and that he is welcome to have the event card signed instead. The guy gets a bit stroppy and comes up with a genius plan. He takes the cellophane wrapping off the PSA case and has her sign the wrapper, then demands a picture to prove it is real.

It was painfully cringe to watch. Somewhere out there now exists a one of one PSA wrapper signed by Yuka Morii.

I adore Yuka Morii, even have one of her 1:1 neo-yokai cat pieces. I’ve always wanted to message her on Insta and thank her for her artwork but I’m so terrified of coming across as cringe or creepy.

Meanwhile there’s people like that who crap like this and it makes my fear feel validated. F that guy, may his graded submissions be lost in the mail and his collection value go negative.

As someone who reached out on Instagram, I was scared too. She’s so lovely, and it’s honestly worth it. She even sent me a postcard!

I think she’ll be happy to hear from genuine fans of her work.

She doesn’t sign outside of events anymore, and I’m not sure she even signs TCG cards at all even at those events, but a few years back (mid-2020) I was probably one of the first to message her to ask her for a signature. I ended up sending two cards to her, even included an already fully paid for return-envelope to return them in (had to get those from Belgium, since they don’t sell them in The Netherlands anymore). The two cards I choose were a German and Italian Skyridge Pikachu, since I thought it would be very unique, and also fun for herself to see a non-Japanese/non-English card to sign. She even included a cute Pachirisu as gift:

The post on her blog she referred to me at the time has since been edited, but if it’s still relevant, it seems she loves to hear from her fans, and will send them a post card on request: https://note.com/yukamorii/n/nb5634299d8b5

I like it

That is awful.. I was not aware PSA slabs bootleg cards if it has an auto glued to it.

At least it’s not athenticated as a Pokémon Card but still.. it’s disrespectful and tacky imo
