Niiice. Love me my vintage jp pack arts. It’s tough if you don’t have d ring binder like I do. But if you do.. i get these and they sort of suction once in place and hold perfectly for a 2 row per page and once you complete the entire vintage era a few pages of these are just awe-strikingly wonderful.

I’d like to see your binder too! I use these ultra pro 4 pocket pages for my gamestop $5 monthly coupon collection and some old pack wrappers, but your pages seem like they’d present better without all the pockets

Getting back on track with TRR reverse holos. I kept puting these off because of Glory of Team Rocket but they just kept going up and tbh the 8s are reasonably priced for the age and scarcity.

Naw man! That counts! Did ytou send them off or something? I’ve wanted to get him to sign my binder, but his events are never convenient enough…

Ah no he came down to Malaysia, we had an event here, even got to meet the dude. Every year we get artists who come down and meet fans, i guess the proximity to japan and wide usage of english helps 
. Its arita’s second time here. Maybe you can check out tcgkl’s socials to see if they organize any other signings and fly down. I queued up with south africans, germans and even a few people from japan..of course the bulk was Malaysian..also a few scalpers from china who he (arita) chastised for buying repeated signing tickets..awesome dude..

What was his pricing on the sketches?
Curious as I’ve been to several events over the years and the pricing has increased gradually.
First event was 2022 or 2023 and it was under €100 a sketch.
Had this done at Megacon Jan 2025 in London and it was more or less 200€ a pop.

Oh shieeeet, you got the vertical signature! He doesnt like to do those anymore man! Nice! I paid ±380 eu for 2 signatures. Sketches were 1.5k eu for two, one signature and one sketch was 1k eu man

Wow, 1k Euro for a sketch and signature is very steep. I say steep because his Gala event pricing in EU was reasonably priced? I think? and that was in 2024, so not that much in the past. Maybe the prices also scales with what these sketches sell for on secondary market or the general rise the card values?
Your signed cards look great. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!

That’s absolutely mental.
I mean I appreciate the hustle and Arita has the absolute right to do that but damn.
I guess he gotta do pop control somehow but the issue is that resellers will still pay that for sketches - normal collectors without unlimited budget won’t.
Also had this done in 2024 in Cologne.
Love them!

Always wanted a signature on some of my cards but the prices are more than what i expected. Surely they wont keep increasing or is it based on location?
