I'd love to see other people's items where Yuji Shinkawa did a sketch as well. I love the Snake sketch on the book, so much so I did not hesitate for a second dropping about 240EUR to get this item.
I got a small sketch on my UK sleeve as well, just a little face tho (you can see it on my site's gallery).
Nope, I aquired from a reputable seller in Japan. Usually I won't buy anything signed unless it's fully authenticated (especially because this was about 240EUR shipped) but the Shinkawa sketches were enough for me to know it's genuine.
Alot of the UK sleeves signed have really great small sketches too. Time was limited and he had to do 300 of them so nothing was too extravagant but still some came out awesome.

Here's a guy I'm pretty envious of myself...although I've at times have had some doubts about him actually owning this collection. I've tried to contact him but no response, and there's no pictures of anything.

Back to topic... I don't get why people want the signing on the sealing. I mean, the sealing can easily slip away, and then it's all gone. I would want the signature on the package itself

I agree 1000%. It's not really a signed item, it's an item with signed shrink wrap. Plus like you say, it'll never last. One wrong rub with your thumb and it's gone. I'd have no problem breaking a seal to get something signed.
