These are the Alpha Playtest cards, Beta Playtest cards, and Alpha Presentation cards for Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. This set of 9 cards is very special as it came from the private collection of Pokémon Trading Card Game co-creator Takumi Akabane and they are individually signed by him. The CGC Signature Series holders also mean that the signing of these cards by Akabane-san is witnessed by a CGC representative. There has been quite a bit of online chatter about these playtest cards recently and whether or not they are authentic, but there is absolutely no doubt that the cards I have here are authentic given Akabane-san's signatures witnessed by CGC.

Do we know how many of these exist? With the sales of these playtests, are we about to see the dam break open and a ton enter the market from private collectors?
How is this possible? Is this only for the Most Elite and Richest humans? My kid wants one what am I supposed to tell them lmao. 💀
