This 1999 Pokémon Base Set Shadowless Holofoil Charizard #4 features a hand-signed autograph and custom Charizard illustration sketch by the original card artist, Mitsuhiro Arita. Certified and graded Authentic by PSA, the black ink signature and sketch are awarded a perfect Gem Mint Auto 10 grade by PSA/DNA. The signature is dated February 10, 2020, serving as a permanent historical marker of the signing. Within the PSA registry, this card represents one of 257 certified authentic copies, with artist-signed and sketched examples occupying a specialized, highly scarce tier of the vintage market.
As the definitive chase card of the original 1999 English release, the Shadowless variation represents a scarce early print run distinguished by the absence of the drop shadow to the right of the character frame and a unique copyright line ending in '99'. Mitsuhiro Arita's depiction of Charizard is one of the most famous illustrations in trading card history, and the combination of his signature with a personalized hand-drawn character sketch directly on the card face makes this an exceptional historical artifact of the Pokémon franchise.Show more
