>>46594012its either overpriced nonsense paying the foreigner tax, or they stupidly cheap in America because you get a holo a in every pack in fact up to 3 holo's in some sets. meanwhile you get a holo 1/3 rate in USA. basically cutting the pull rate of everything we get in America.
so if your complaining that I'm missing out on promo opportunities to collect low pop jap cards. I am but, at the same time everything you collect that's holo in English is comparatively low pop and your a idiot if you collect jap cards over English release. that's why they still go for 1/4 the price their respectable English versions.
Most those promos you speak of would require you to go in the Pokemon Center or know a local that can get you these super special low pop cards. and at that rate its apples to oranges on what you could spend on older cards in America.
I see no benefit collecting Japanese cards.
