Have you heard of Pokedata.io before seeing this video?
Japanese cards have always been cheaper. Japanese packs also had a guaranteed holo when I bought them as a kid.
My OCD would not allow multiple languages to complete a set. Which is dumb. But that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Great video though this was very useful!
Thank you! I actually didn’t think about that perspective
I like being able to understand the text on the card ;)
That's fair especially if you play the TCG. For me, its less about the text and more about the art work
This is a very good point. Some of these modern English cards are so expensive. I thought I would want them all in English, but you're right. It is the same artwork, just a different language. A lot of the Japanese cards look even better.
It’s kinda out of control really on the modern cards, especially some of the chase cards are cheaper.
I do want to warn people that have never handled japanese cards before, i have owned pokemon cards in the 2000's and then started buying packs here in japan, and i thought the cards might have been counterfeit with how thin they were. They werent fake, theyre just thinner than english cards. I havent opened eng pokemon in over 10yrs so unless they changed as well, the japanese cards will feel very different in hand out of a sleeve.
Having opened a ton of both English and Japanese, they’re comparable now in the feel of the cards. I will say JP for me has a smoother feel to the texture of common cards.
Something to consider too is JP tends to be higher quality control in their sets as well.
@pokeboyztrading really? I find the jp cards are too thin and refuse to use standard sized sleeves because i end up folding the top edges putting them in, even while being gentle. Also the pokeball holos are always plagued with grid marks that are unsightly.
Going to echo with a few other people have been saying - if it’s a bout price, you might as well just go and buy Chinese cards. Eng 151 has poorer print quality which by virtue makes it a little more worth collecting in my opinion due to the lower PSA 10 population. Personally, if I’m going to invest my money into the hobby I might as well aim for both value and art.
I can get behind this point of view and value and money. You’re right the bare cheapest option is Chinese or other foreign languages. I think for the new or newer collector it’s far easier to find reputable English/Japanese Pokemon cards so that’s why I only compare the two.
When i started collecting again 7 years ago i got stuck in the loop of collecting only english cause of wanting to read it. I can tell you years later i cant remember any of the movesets thats on any card but i remember the art. Unless you play the tcg its not worth the price for the same exact art. Not to mention japanese has unique art only exclusive to japanese through their promos.
That’s great point too regarding the exclusive set works between the English and Japanese sets.
I feel like it's not the same card though. At least for me I would ideally like to have the collection in all the same language instead of a mix of languages.
I guess it depends on the person though. It is kinda overkill, but if I had the budget I'd like to have a Japanese set AND a English set :P
That is definitely a fair point though for sure. Everyone's collecting goals are going to be different, I came from the perspective of budgeting and saving money, which is only one way of many ways to collect right? Appreciate your insight!
Very true but for example I don’t mind having both English and Japanese it doesn’t really bother me. If I really like the card though I will get it in English besides that it’s whatever is the cheaper card.
I can get a jp bulbasaur and ivysaur for 700 yen, and im looking for a better quality venusaur here, but it was 3400 yen last i saw. I just want to look at them every now and then. I dont need to play with it so i dont need to read it.
Great point if you’re not playing the TCG, the words are a non-factor.
To be honest I just think you should be able to choose what you want to collect and not necessarily the popular chase cards. There isn't anyone who should tell you how to collect. Period. Do what you want.
Absolutely there truly isn't one or right way. I was presenting the idea of acquiring great chase cards for very cheap prices when comparing to JP vs EN.
I got 7 packs for $23 from Sam’s Club and got a Giratina v alt and charmander god pack 😅 my lucks going down a lot since then 😂
Holy cow! That is amazing luck and big congrats! I haven't been that lucky either since my Paldean Fates Shiny Pikachu with the Shiny Mew SIR in the same pack, but that was months ago lol
@@pokeboyztrading Thanks and much luck on your next hunt!
Best to collect for the purpose of enjoyment, and if price goes up, great.
Avoid collecting for the sake of an investment. Pokémon cards may have price increases over time, but whether a sale actually happens is either a hit or a miss. Only thinking in investment terms could make you lose interest very quickly.
this video is basically that
Yeah that’s why I made the suggestion of buying the cards you want for your collection focused on getting the same card at a cheaper price.
Yup ty ty
In my country Indonesia, some card like eevee AR from twilight masquarade like about under 20$ 😂
That is crazy!
Even cheaper? Korean/Chinese cards.
That is very true! I personally haven’t looked into them deeply but my wife has as she is learning Korean.
You support China? F**k that. Japan is fine but China
There’s two different types of Chinese cards. Simplified/mainland Chinese is usually the same price as Japanese as it is also made in Japan and is higher quality than English and Korean.
Imagine getting JP Charizard PSA 10 for the same price as an raw Charizard eng.
It’s kinda nutty how that works but it’s so true!
It’s not a small fact that “it’s just Japanese” there’s a reason people don’t want it
Sure that’s why I made this video to help info about the benefits of it.
Its not the same card as investor for more than one reason:
-english are less printed, so less suply, higher the price
-english are bad quality and harder to obtain a valuable card. So a psa10 will be extremely valuable
Japonese are better in everything except in supply, because its too high and easy to obtain good cards
The entire premise of the video is focused as a collector, not an investor. I’m not arguing against your points as they are valid, just not the focus of this video at all.
I think is bizarre to make such a long video about buying cards in a cheaper language and only cover the 2 most expensive languages the cards come in.
I'm assuming its cuz any language outside of Japanese or English doesn't move on the market nearly as much as those 2.
@@joaquinignacio10 ok
These are the most widely purchased languages and it’s not even close. Finding cards in languages in the U.S. outside of English and Japanese is rather difficult, especially for beginner collectors. So all in all not as bizarre when you you’re realistic about the availability out there.
Nice one. As i am new to the world of poke tcg and video making, this helped me a lot
Thank you and I’m glad it was helpful!
I had no idea this website existed. Thanks for the vid!
No problem! Glad I could share it!
Dammmmmmmnnnn, thanks for putting me on game. That jpn paldean fates Mew is fire! 🔥
No problem, finding that pokedata website helped me tremendously!
Save me money on waifus! Thanks Dom!
It still doesn't make sense to me spending so much money for them! Get the same card in English for cheaper forehead
Why i want english because their qc is not good as japanese, mean less card which get psa10 quality. Tat why diff in price.
That’s true the English quality is lower which then once you have a PSA 10 it’s going to be worth more. My viewpoint in the video was more from a collector perspective versus extracting as much value from your cards.
This is so good!!
You're so good.
depends also on pull rates
Yes pull rates will affect the price for sure, that’s why I showed examples that sometimes Eng prices can be lower than their JP counterparts. All about finding what you want for your collection and willing to pay for the same art on a card.
I love foreign language cards best
Yhe most definitely have their place in anyone's collections and are great value, especially now if you love ripping and opening cards.
Japanese cards have always been cheaper in America
At this point by not get Chinese?
I mean you could I suppose, I personally haven’t seen people selling Chinese Pokemon on the major third party card stores.
🤡🤡🤡 everyone already knows this 🤡🤡🤡🤡 boring as s vifeo
