The truth is plain to see? :flushed: [image]

Historical speaking, other languages existing isn’t a guarantee to have any influence on a previous language. Korean cards have been around for years now and are irrelevant to Japanese prices. Even the big 2, Japanese and English, there are plenty of lp promos and other eras that are $1 in Engl…

I think if there was a real measurable effect here, you’d see a more reactive market. For example, another print run of a set does have an effect on the price. Typically when a reprint announcement is made, the market responds to the news by lowering prices in advance. I don’t really see the market …

I’m saying no, but I’m definitely biased. Why? Because the three Japanese EBD promos were released in Traditional Chinese as regular set cards, yet I’ve sold the Japanese PSA-10 trio for 150k USD (they even peaked at 250k a few weeks later), proceeded to buy a house using this extra money, AND boug…

I think the answer is pretty clear. There was a speculative bubble that included waifus and specific Japanese-exclusive promos and that bubble burst. Some cards that had little organic interest outside of the waifu hoarders dropped harder than cards with genuinely wide appeal (e.g., poncho promos).

Ouch that hurts even just looking at it :face_with_head_bandage:

I don’t think Chinese reprints are affecting Japanese prices. If you broaden your perspective the same could be said about English reprints. I lived in Korea for two years and those sets have always been affordable compared to the Japanese ones (just look at sold listings of PSA 10 modern Korean car…

I noticed from many people’s speculations here, there are some similarities: Many people look to the past (and quote an example of a past set) and think a particular modern set will perform/behave the same. But not all sets are equal and past performance is not always indicative of future performa…
