Why this card matters
The single most important card in his run: his first certified autograph of any kind, thirteen years into a professional career and six years after he first held a world title. He was left out of the 2025 Season Ticket Signatures checklist entirely — both published checklists confirm it — so nothing signed and certified of him existed before August 2026. The numbered ladder tops out at Championship Ticket 1/1 and Season Ticket Black Fireworks 1/1.
Identification
Missing a front scan. Contribute one.
- Card #1 in the Season Ticket Signatures checklist — shares its number with base Season Ticket #1, so the autograph is identified by the signature and the Signatures logo, not the number
- Signature sits on the ticket panel of the Contenders design
- Unnumbered base autograph; colour tiers are serial-stamped from /99 down
Disputed
Whether the base Season Ticket Signatures is on-card or sticker is not stated on either checklist page, and no image was reachable, so it is left unrecorded rather than guessed.
