It is not an autograph on the cover, just a mark that looks like it was a price mark. As for the video suitcase, I don’t know. This might have been included as part of a set but that’s just a guess.

::::::== The Electric Tale of Pikachu Special Signature Edition Red Version cover (very rare) == | |||
I found a very rare cover of The Electric Tale of Pikachu Special Signature Edition Red Version last summer on a comic book and / or auction site that I can't remember. Today I saw it on my hard drive and thought it'd be fitting to upload to Bulbapedia. This is the biggest and highest quality version I could find of it. I can't find the site which it came from so the site most likely delete the auctions after they've ended. I downloaded the picture as a jpg image and converted it to a png image using Paint.NET. Here's the cover: [https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/3w9cCQxsk_tVYnnz3tAVjup2v3M3zXncOiyvS5THjRhIbQgyfRcn3SYmgSOth1LpqNuWfwLb3ro] | |||
According to [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q6BKZM/ Amazon] and [http://www.bookfinder4u.com/detail/B000Q6BKZM.html BookFinder4U] it's ISBN is: B000Q6BKZM | |||
Please tell me when you have uploaded it / decided that it should not be uploaded for some reason, so that I can remove it from Google Drive. --[[User:PokeAwesome94|PokeAwesome94]] ([[User talk:PokeAwesome94|talk]]) 16:56, 25 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
:Do you know like, what it is?? is it a volume, monthly issue? what makes it signature? <s>omg it's like 2.50$ plus shipping maybe i will just buy it XD</s> [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 15:35, 26 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
::booooooooo it only ships to the US :( [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 15:37, 26 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
:::I really don't know anything about it. All I can tell you is what I'm thinking. It is either The first volume or the third issue in my opinion, judging by the cover. The volumes have Viz Grapic Novel written on them, while the issues have Viz Comics written on them, this one however has Viz Mini-Graphic Novel written on it. Judging by [http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pokemon-Collectible-Comic-Book-Novel-THE-ELECTRIC-TALE-OF-PIKACHU-Red-Version-/400317092410?nma=true&si=KG5Jp1Dox87sXwD8eP9a5iCi1PY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 this picture], [http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/711fTUb8F%2BL.jpg this picture] and [http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pokemon-The-Electric-Tale-Of-Pikachu-SPECIAL-SIGNATURE-EDITION-RARE-/290749656724?item=290749656724&lgeo=1&ViewItem=&vectorid=229466&nma=true&si=KG5Jp1Dox87sXwD8eP9a5iCi1PY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 this picture] I think it's a red special edition of the first volume, it might possibly have fever chapters since Viz Mini-Graphic Novel is written on the cover instead of Viz Graphic Novel. I think it might be something that could have been sold on conventions and promotional events as an exclusive, but that's just me speculating. Maybe they had a signing at those locations too, or the mangas were already signed when bought. I have no idea who's signature it is. When the series where being sold, the original cast of the Pokémon anime used to sign the issues. So it might be one of the original Pokémon anime cast or it might be someone who was involved in the creation of the manga. I know that it isn't Veronica Taylor's, Eric Stuart's or Addie Blaustein's autographs, since they had clearly readable signatures. | |||
:::I thought that 3/4 of the Amazon sellers offered international shipping. --[[User:PokeAwesome94|PokeAwesome94]] ([[User talk:PokeAwesome94|talk]]) 16:53, 26 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
::::Now that I took a second look at the Amazon page I noticed that it classed it as a paperback, so it is most likely the first volume of EToP. However, it might possibly have fever chapters since Viz Mini-Graphic Novel is written on the cover instead of Viz Graphic Novel. This part about fever chapters is only me guessing, nothing confirmed since it's not listed how many pages it is. --[[User:PokeAwesome94|PokeAwesome94]] ([[User talk:PokeAwesome94|talk]]) 19:15, 26 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
:::::Anyway I can definitely use the image once we figure out what the book is for sure so i can write about it lol :D [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 22:14, 27 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
::::::I've bought the book and it should arrive in two weeks or less. When It arrives I can tell you whatever you want to know (and if you want to get your own book I might be able to give you some advice with the international shipping issues as I did some research when Amazon wouldn't ship it to my country). [http://www.ebay.com/itm/390481020339 Here's the auction page], in case you want to look at some pictures. It was previously on Amazon, I contacted the seller in order to enable international shipping, but due to Amazon being bugged the seller listed it on eBay so that she could enable shipping to my country.

::::::'''I've recieved the book. It's a 76 page long commercial sample of the first two chapters of ''The Electric Tale of Pikachu''. It's dimensions are 15,3 x 10,2 x 0,5 centimeters (~6.0 x 4.0 x 0.2 inches), so it's quite small as you can see on [http://i.ebayimg.com/t/POKEMON-ELECTRIC-TALE-PIKACHU-Red-Version-Special-Signature-Ed-Graphic-Novel-/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/$T2eC16d,!%29!E9s2fDH+DBQd7,RLI%29w~~60_57.JPG this image from the auction].
