Signed Pokemon Cards

This is a bit of a deviation from out normal items, but I think these might be of interest to anyone who likes to collect interesting Nintendo memorabilia.

Available are two Pokemon cards, signed by Ken Sugimori –  the co-creator of Pokemon. Sugimori is a Japanese illustrator most famous for being the art director of Pokémon franchise. A friend of Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of the franchise, Sugimori is responsible for the bulk of Pokémon art and almost single-handedly designed the first 251 Pokémon (since Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, others have helped to design the characters).

He is also responsible for designing many of the main characters in the Pokémon video games, such as Red, Blue, and the various Gym Leaders. Also among his work is a majority of early Pokémon cards. Ken also helped with the design of Pokémon characters on in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, and was the prime character designer for Pulseman, an earlier game by Game Freak for the Sega Mega Drive.

Available is a signed Raichu and a signed Pikachu.
