It’s not the first time I’ve had a card autographed for me. It’s not the first time Ray Rizzo (3 time VGC worlds winner) has signed a card either. But it is the first time Ray Rizzo has been documented signing for anyone. Ever. And it just so happens to be for me!
VGC guys don’t get enough love, so I sent Ray 18 cards (plus one for a friend!) with unique artwork, for each Pokémon on his previous winning teams! The artworks selected even include cards printed in years that he won, adding a little extra special flair.
While I’m a typical PSA 10 chaser for various cards and sets that I like, sometimes it’s much more important to get something different outside of your normal collecting goals. This opportunity was so unique and rare that I wanted to share it with the world. No matter what you chase, never forget the most important chase of all: the passion and the joy found within the community.
A special thank you to @BANKS for documenting this occasion!

UPDATE:
Cards are back from PSA! Completely thrilled with these as I had no idea what the auto grades would look like, but knew full well most of the card grades would be lower (most bought raw or cracked in lower grades). PSA could not authenticate one of the cressy cards but I’m just going to resubmit it as it is in fact an authentic autograph.
