Collektr to host livestream Pokemon art auctions at Card Mania 2025
Collektr has formed an exclusive partnership with Card Mania 2025 that will see the platform providing the official livestream bidding for Pokémon-inspired art by renowned Pokémon artists, among others, during the event.
This year's edition of Card Mania, scheduled May 30 to June 1 at the MPAJ Convention Centre in Taman Melawati, Kuala Lumpur, will feature top-tier publishers, streamers, artists, and retailers from across the region. Collektr will live-stream the bidding of original artworks by three Pokémon artists - Kouki Saitou, Yuka Morii, and Kagemaru Himeno.
Each day during the event, at 4pm (Malaysian time), all three renowned illustrators will each create a never-before-seen piece of Pokémon-inspired art live in front of fans. These exclusive artworks will be auctioned immediately after creation, and for the first time ever, collectors across Asia and beyond will be able to witness the creative process and bid live in real-time.
'This collaboration is a major milestone for the collectibles world,' said Adlin Yusman, Collektr founder and chief executive officer.
'Collecting is more than acquiring, it's about passion, connection, and culture. With Card Mania, we're bringing fans closer than ever to the creators behind the art they love, while giving them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of that creative history.
Adliln said Collektr will also launch four exclusive collectible cards featuring Selangor FC footballer, Faisal Halim and the Sekys (Muhammad Haqqullah Ahmad Shahrul Zaman) from the Selangor Red Giants eSports team.
"All four cards will be up for bidding on the Collektr Marketplace Auction throughout the three-day event, from May 30 (12am) to June 1 (4pm). It's the perfect convergence of pop culture, sports, and collectibles, all unfolding live,' Adlin added.
