{"product_id":"charizard-signed-by-mitsuhiro-arita-psa-certified","title":"Charizard — Signed by Mitsuhiro Arita (PSA Certified)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMitsuhiro Arita is one of the defining artists behind early Pokémon iconography, entrusted by Nintendo with illustrating many of the original creatures that shaped the visual identity of the franchise and, in turn, the trading card phenomenon that followed. A signed Charizard stands at the intersection of that artistic legacy and one of Pokémon’s most enduring cultural symbols—an image whose influence spans video games, animation, and the highest tiers of the collectible card market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example is authenticated by PSA, with its certification history verifiable through the official PSA database at psacard.com. Of particular note is the autograph style: Arita signatures appear either in Japanese kanji or in Latin characters, with the Latin-script variant regarded as scarcer due to its use primarily during signings in Europe and North America. Beyond its pop-cultural significance, the piece also reflects the maturation of Pokémon as an investment-aware collecting category, driven by global demand, nostalgia-led ownership, and increasing market liquidity; historically, the card was valued at $125 in 2016, illustrating the long arc of interest around key, authenticated examples.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collecto Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53876413595988,"sku":"276","price":1870.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9083\/7588\/files\/file-1723105575297-1.png?v=1772720357","url":"https:\/\/collectoarchive.com\/products\/charizard-signed-by-mitsuhiro-arita-psa-certified","provider":"Collecto Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
