Hello everyone,
I bought a lot from Japan with a signed card which I can’t recognize the author (I presume it’s Akabane’s but I’d like to be more certain). Could anybody help me? I was also wondering if PSA would grade it. Thanks in advance
PCL stands for Pokémon Card Laboratory, so it’s probably signed either by a PCL employee or at a PCL event. PCL are the creators of Pokémon cards and the TCG game in Japan.
I don’t recognize the actual autograph however. All I can say is that it isn’t Yukinori Torii, since I have a signature from him myself… Not too useful I’m afraid.
Greetz,

@quuador, Thanks anyway for your help!
Np. Also, it also isn’t Akabane’s autograph. He usually has a ditto doodle, and the Japanese letters are also different. Here two examples of Takumi Akabane’s autographs:
Neither are mine. Just some pictures I got from google images.
@alecpokemon Do you perhaps recognize the PCL autograph on the Multi Energy?
Greetz,

@quuador, I found them too before posting my question, that’s why I genuinely thought that maybe that “thing” sketched and the golden marker could have been some clues leading to Akabane. The card has been definitely won/sketched during one of the events as the rest of the lot contained many prizes from that era.

@quuador No idea on my part 
PCL autographs are needles in a haystack

@manuelc4c, the autographed Akabane cards pictured above actually have the kanji for “Akabane” on them. Yours doesn’t, so it’s highly unlikely it’s an Akabane card.
