The way I see it, all you need is a few powerful youtubers promoting the simplified chinese cards and they can start increasing in value. Besides that, its a really fun way to have these artworks when otherwise theyd be nearly impossible to get. I was considering them or the korean booster boxes just for the joy of opening packs again. Its funny and sad how Americans will take so much product from China happily that uses slave labor but they draw the line at collectibles made ethically in Japan that are printed in Chinese.
I recently purchased s-Chinese VMAX Blastoise and Venasaur Rainbow secret rares bcuz were only released in s-Chinese. I also bought their 1st anniversary gift box. I’m very impressed with their cards and will be getting more for sure
Nice! Those look awesome :D I saw Krystal talk about those in some of her recent videos. I haven’t bought any S Chinese gift boxes yet but I would like to, they have so many nice things included.
I was expecting total douchey investor bro vibes but you are very well spoken and hit on all points very clearly and it’s obvious you did your research and know what you’re talking about. Good stuff!
I love the simplified Chinese cards. I just opened a whole booster box of Sun and Moon ear Tag Team cards and got great hits, all the ones I was hoping to pull. Atleast a lot of them anyway. I had 7 great pulls and a couple other “good” pulls. The print quality is great since it’s printed in Japan. So that said almost every card was nearly flawless. Only one pack had any issues and that was only a minor ding. Also i agree these are the third most popular language to have them in, atleast in my opinion. Also they have the international card backing so they are basically like English cards with Japanese quality and rarity symbols. To wrap it up. I totally recommend and will buy more and suggest others to as well. Especially if you want to get the experience of opening older sets without the older set English price tag. Great video. Thanks for reading 🎉🎉
Nice! You’re a trailblazer. I expect more people to pick up the S. Chinese versions of certain cards that have become unaffordable in more popular languages.
The traditional and simplified Chinese has nothing to do with regions of China. It’s just an easier form of written Chinese language for them to read. The traditional Chinese just had too many strokes aka lines for each of their character word if that makes sense
Thank you! I actually don’t own any yet. You could order from somewhere like pokewayne.com (I believe it’s reputable) or you could just order from eBay (prices are pretty much equal to pokewayne). There could be a better place, but I’m not aware of it and I did a fair bit of research. Hopefully more options will spring up soon since SC Pokémon is only a year old!
S.Chinese Pokemon cards are not that valueable for investments, due to the massive amount of printing the cards again and again..... lol Thats why all of the S.Chinese Cards have a big drop of the Card Price. It's true that this is very affordable version that you can buy high quality pokemon cards for your own collections. Btw I live in Shanghai,thats why I know that the Chinese Market is bit of chaos right now. New Release Packs are really really cheap. Big fan of collecting JP version of Pikachua and Trainers
Awesome, thank you for the information! I love to know what's really happening from people who live there. I'm just a dumb american who is speculating!
People should really take into account the market is down at the moment and could take up to 3 years to rebound so if your trying to flip take that information as a suggestion not as quick flip opportunity 😮😮
I completely agree, thanks for adding that! Also definitely not even sure S. Chinese is a flip at all! Best reason to buy it is because you’d like to collect it, either in and of itself or as an alternative to the respective cards in more expensive languages.
🤫🤐…..say less so I can affordably complete my collection because once everyone catches on they will inflate the prices substantially. If only they knew how much better these look in person texture wise they will buy these up. Chinese has the best textures of all the languages especially the textured cards from the 5 cards packs.
haha the same employee making them in same factory because they are made in japan same quality as japan cards good option to buy them cheap if you don't really care about the language 🤣🤣

Fantastic points, totally agree!

@@pokemahan there is a risk that Chinese customs will rip open the box, that’s my biggest fear. It happened to RUclipsr Sttowe
good to only buy from reputable stores! @@CryptidKeeperTCG
the two card now in china are around 55 rmb or under 10 dollars now so mow much didi you pay for them.

That’s super kind, thank you so much 🥲🙏

Awesome! Thanks so much for watching and sharing 🙏
I got the chinese version of alola friends simply cause it's the only affordable version.
Nice! You’re a trailblazer. I expect more people to pick up the S. Chinese versions of certain cards that have become unaffordable in more popular languages.
um actually how much did you get it for, now in china its only 60 rmb raw (under 10 US dollars) and at PSA 10 506 rmb which is around 72 dollars
the quality of some of the chinese stuff is crazy good. got a VMax Charizard gift box. Its very nice
To be honest the simplified chinese writing also takes up less space on the card than Japanese so you can see more of the illustration.
The traditional and simplified Chinese has nothing to do with regions of China. It’s just an easier form of written Chinese language for them to read. The traditional Chinese just had too many strokes aka lines for each of their character word if that makes sense
Thanks for that added context!
Disagree. Taiwan largely uses traditional Chinese characters, and Taiwan is a region.
talking about the reason why they swapped over to simplified chinese pokemon cards now for future set releases@@TheTc4jc
Let’s go. Good info in this here pokevideo
🫡
nice vid! where do you buy your SC cards from?

Managed to pull Acerola myself from the chinese base sets, insanely valuable ❤ second only to Lillie

@@pokemahan Thank you 😊 recently got it back from PSA too

nah Love your contents, Pokemon Shanghai is trying to fix the situation tho, they might be valueable next year
This is the next play..my thoughts exactly 🤔

Just snagged a Latios & Latias psa 10 for $250 😅

Speculate all you want, but get outta here with calling this shit “investable” lol.
You don’t think Pokémon cards are investable? If not, why?
Disagree, Chinese cards are junk with no value. Japanese only.
Stop it
haha the same employee making them in same factory because they are made in japan same quality as japan cards good option to buy them cheap if you don't really care about the language 🤣🤣
look at the sales graphs, they are all on the incline every month........
@@1adamjrleask No.
New Zealand has no cards cry about it
