Goku 1999 - only 3 in the world

Goku 1999 - Dragonball Z - LE 1200 PCS - SIGNED AND NUMBERED BY SEAN SCHEMMEL!!!

So here is the story and I have the pics and receipts to back this up! When Goku was dropped by EVEND I was one of the first people to even get their hands on one hitting both the diamond level with Evend which got me a free one automatically and for winning one in the wheel spinning chance game basically I spent thousands of dollars to get the 2 Goku’s I have. Immediately I looked up where Sean was going to be at next and turns out he was going to be at Collect-A-Con in Atlanta so I told the wife to hop in the truck we are leaving and drove there. When I got there I had my VIP passes ready to go and was the first person to bring him the pop and he hadn’t even gotten one yet so he was super excited to even see it. He shut down the signing for about 25 minutes to talk to my wife and I and told us that that goku was actually made for him and in honor of him. 1999 the number, was the first year he started voice acting for goku and he told us how he actually auditioned for the role of captain ginyu and wanted that role instead but Chris Sabbat convinced him to take the role LOL! That was also the year he did the Super Saiyan transformation and the iconic SS yell when he transformed against Frieza and everyone was there to watch this iconic moment in anime history as we now know it was. We talked for a while no doubt, then I asked him if we could do something special and this took a lot longer as well since NO OTHER FUNKO has ever and will never be numbered by him due to contract issues BUT… he MADE THEM make an exception on this as a special thank you to me and in honor of the pop, his history of the voice acting, and how emotional this was to him. He has a contract person with him and a funko expert person with him and he called them both over and said they need to find a way to make something special for this funko signing and I spoke up and said i am glad you said that cause i have a special request. I told him that i had never seen a goku pop numbered and signed by him and he told us that he simply wasn’t allowed and the whole story about contracts etc., but then he told his folks that he was doing this and his “Handlers” came back with a stipulation for doing this. For that day only… anyone who brought him a goku 1999 (ONLY THAT DAY MIND YOU) he would number each one starting with mine as “1 of ?” and then the next one would be “2 of ?” because they didn’t know how many would be brought if any and they said that was the only way they could do it but then also said after today he will not ever number any others and this was the only time and day he would ever. I agreed because i mean…WHO WOULDN’T i was about to be the first in history to get a Sean Schemmel NUMBERED autograph pop which has never been done on the rarest of all DBZ pops… Arlia Vegeta isn’t even a LE and tens of thousands were made. This pop will be the rarest and most expensive of them all in 5 years hands down. Anyway…. when everything was said and done and we all agreed on what was going to happen i broke the news and made everyone in the room (including 200 angry people behind me for holding up the line for so long) gasp in unbelief… i whipped out the second one out of my giant pop suitcase filled with grails and let him know that number 1 would stay in my personal collection forever and that I am also going to be the proud owner of number 2 as well. I have video and pics of everything given they let me film it since it was a monumental occasion so I can give you all the pics you want and will attach him signing and pics of my wife and I with him holding both as further proof. I know this is probably going to be the most difficult thing to do but i would like someone to try and put a value on them both as bragging rights for my personal collection as well as in case i want to sell number 2. I had it on ebay for 4.5k but i removed it cause regular versions are climbing that high and I was told at the end of the day via phone call that only 3 were signed and numbered by Sean so ONLY 3 OF THESE ARE IN THE WORLD… 1 OF ? 2 OF ? AND 3 OF ? and that’s it!!! I know im asking a lot but this is super important!!! REMEMBER I HAVE 1 OF ? AND 2 OF ? IN MY COLLECTION SO I NEED BOTH priced and added please since they are one of a kind pieces and only 3 in the world!!

JSA CERTIFIED ON BOTH CH13204 & CH13203

Unfortunately because they are not like the 7BAP Signature series limited to a specific number or a LE factory run limited to a specific number, the addition of “1 of ?” by the signer does not make it a numbered run. This is still considered the eVend exclusive sticker 1200pc variant autographed by Sean Schemmel.

In easier terms, him adding “1 of ?” is just a quote.

Cool pieces none the less, and since the eVend stick variant doesn’t have a autographed version in, I have added it and put a Member Estimate on it based solely off of Item and Autograph (quotes don’t get considered for price points).

I would confer with others before making this a final decision if you guys could please. Sean has never numbered a pop he has quoted many, this isn’t a quote, it is the only time he has numbered a funko ever and is kind of a special circumstance. It’s not like it’s a “To Joe Blow” no no it’s a “FIRST SIGNED #1 GOKU 1999” type of deal. Nobody has a deal or has ever had a deal with Sean for a number on any line of DBZ pop that is why this took a long time to make happen. Given the fact I have pieces with custom artwork by people like Toy Cabal and Sam De La Rosa in my collection a “Special Custom Number” for worth was attached to that. This being signed and certified numbering not being “hired by 7bap to do a 10000 piece run” making an LE series even less valuable actually makes this one more valuable being a 1200 piece being signed 1 and 2 which means first and second signed as again he has never done and these will be the ONLY Goku 1999 that will be numbered 1 and 2 by Sean. This makes them one of a kind pieces and not a generic quote in my opinion. This should be considered on par with custom work done by the signer if anything thus adding value based on the pure fact that again… he has never done this nor shall again furthering my point. If you would please, confer with others and reconsider the ruling on this particular story.

If I get one and get it signed and he doesn’t do the 3 of ? then just like above its just a quote. Chris did 1 through 10 on the LE 3500 Zoro. Edit: Also theres ALREADY a signed 1200 with seans auto.

I agree with Ted 100% on this one.

You’re right, there was, but there was not one for the eVend sticker. The eVend sticker is a variant and once there’s one signed, it gets its own autograph Variant.

This is directly from our guidlines

Each non-autographed item can only have exactly one corresponding autographed item per signer. We do not differentiate between the position of the signature, the color of the pen, what is written (inscriptions, personalizations, etc.), grading/encapsulation, or the presence or absence of a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). Those specific attributes can all be recorded when adding an item to a collection.

1 of ? , 2 of ? , 3 of ? - are all considered an inscription instead of an official numbered variant.
