>>58331503i dont actually care about the Japanese market because everything outside of pokemon center exclusives or other time sensative event cards, 99/100 times the english copy fairs better since we culturally value cards and card grading in the west, especially since a company like PSA has graded over 100 million cards and japanese people are pretty late to the party as far as grading cards to hold for asset value and the general card grading culture.
in fact with prize cards such as the illustrator pikachu and other cards of that caliber that was actually from japan, made in japan, and held on to by japanese people to now be held by americans and will there be a desire from the wealthy of japan to reclaim their prize cards that are sitting with american collectors.
because its not like there are a bunch of japanese people holding hostage our super rare prize cards like base set charizard. king gary has the monopoly on that one, and i bet that he sells to our own people. you know its the kings jewels argument. our king has wealth so do we. are king has no jewels, neither do we.
other than that, i dont give a shit about japanese cards. i love pokemon, but they print them in english and make them in washington. for its pokemon that gave us the game, we gave them the art of collecting, and we do it better. nobody cares about your japanese cards because the japanese dont really give a shit either.
