I stopped my day to watch the recap as soon as it was posted and then didnt have time to post. @slade you did a great job at showing off the cards this year! Nice video production as well. You even got closer to saying my name right 
. I find it amazing (in a good way) how you trip over the names and descriptions because its something I never really thought about struggling with even though I totally would and your willingness to do it and keep going is amazing. Thanks again to you and pfm for making all this happen.
Im going to update this with details and photos once I get a chance to take photos of the cards I got but for now, thank you everyone! The cards are amazing this year. Everyone sharing information about the best pens for signatures and paint pens seems to have really been a game changer this year. Thank you to all the artists who went all out with their cards, special thanks to @cyberurchin for making such amazing personalized cards and everyone else who added a personal touch to the cards. I know from last year how much time it can take to add different writings to each card, so its much appreciated.
This year I decided to sum up my year on e4 as being a crafty year so I decided to do something outside the box to represent that for the signature exchange… apologies to slade and pfm who had to deal with shipping my unconventionalism. I’ll update this with a post showing the process of what was done to make them but for now, I’ll summarize it. On a nonholo deck exclusive professors research (unsurprising choice, I know), I used ptcg flip coins to stamp custom wax seals adhered to the card. The process took some trial and error but made each one unique since it also used colored wax that is themed with the pokemon on the coin. I also then had a stamp custom made for my signature and added that with wax in a
mix of e4’s signature colors. In case it was a bit blurry it should read “efour signature series” followed by my profile picture and my signature. I had tons of fun with it this year and hope everyone enjoys what they got, no guarantees for being more conventional next exchange but I’ll wait for inspiration to see what happens.
I again forgot to take photos of the finalized cards but here is a couple photos showing all of the designs before placing finishing their detail highlighting and adding the signature seal. I hope everyone still adds photos of what they received if they can.
There also was a bonus 15 surprises that were randomly assigned (and 2 for the organizers) if anyone wants to share anything else about where these bonuses showed up, they are welcome to post to this topic @Rattlesnake. These have nothing to do with the signature exchange and were an unplanned surprise for everyone.
