Hey folks,
Seeking an expert opinion on a signed card I found in a bulk pile I purchased in Indonesia. Seems very nice for an amateur doodle. It’s definitely not match who has signed it… anyone got any ideas? Reddit suggested here!

Chatgpt can’t find any autographs that are similar.
Whoever it is the are an artist who don’t publicly sign, or are just a random person.
Among newer Pokémon TCG artists, the ones whose autographs sometimes get simplified to a single strong letter or shape include:
-
Ryo Ueda – often stylises his name with a bold “R” and minimal other letters.
-
Ryota Murayama – signs “Ryo” or just a looping “R” in some quick sketches.
-
Akira Komayama occasionally abbreviates, but his “A/K” looks less like a clean R.
Since your Tropius card is illustrated by match, the autograph should match theirs if authentic — but if not, the “R” shape could make it resemble Ueda’s or Murayama’s styles.
Sadly can’t find any good examples of theirs.
I asked around and no one recognized it which means it might not be anyone notable

One day, far into the future, the signature exchange cards will come full circle, and some random person that has, by chance, come into possession of an E4 signature exchange card will post on this forum and ask whose signature it is.
