😳 SHADOW Signed - Pre-Imperial - Bayushi Kachiko (L5R)

Description: 😳 SHADOW Signed - Pre-Imperial - Bayushi Kachiko (Legend of the Five Rings) - THE Matthew D. Wilson (original art director of the game) - Pre-release promo "Pre-Imperial" 1995 (L5R001) This is a special rarity. Bayushi Kachiko is one of the most iconic characters from a setting absolutely filled with compelling characters. This card was one of the original 84 cards printed in the promotional set, known as "Pre-Imperial," which was prior to "Imperial Edition" going to distribution. This exact card in the images is for sale. What you see is what you get. Please feel free to contact me if you would like further images of the card. The card is in lightly played condition, with some scuffing around the edges. This card is "shadow signed" in gold ink over black ink by the artist Matthew D. Wilson. Matt holds a special place in the history of L5R, as the first concept artist and original art director of the game. He not only provided several pieces of art for the launch of the game, but also designed the original card backs and the card layouts. Matt has gone on to provide art for hundreds of cards across multiple CCGs, as well as for other games, and he co-founded the game company, Privateer Press, in 2000. Legend of the Five Rings launched at Gen Con 1995 and Imperial Edition was released through distribution later that same year. The CCG went on to more than 100 expansions over the course of 20 years, and fans of the game became enthralled by the story that they themselves could help direct by winning tournaments. The setting, Rokugan, is still alive and well today in the form of many other books and games. Since artists have always been such an integral part of CCGs, I want more people to have access to cards signed by the artists that made the game possible. Perhaps this was always a favorite of yours or perhaps the artist has done other work that is meaningful to you. I want to share the joy! The card will be shipped in a hard sleeve and made resistant to water/moisture. I am happy to combine shipping for multiple items. Please feel free to reach out if I can answer any questions for you or if you require further pictures.
