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 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…

Have you opened modern Korean cards recently? They used to have really bad QC (the 2004 ADV set feels like toilet paper), but from Sword & Shield onwards modern Korean cards are of much better quality - I’ll even go out on a limb and say that they’re better quality and have better QC than modern Eng…

Yup I wish too that Pokemon company would treat all different countries’ releases as equal and not short-change fans with different holos, textures and print qualities! :unamused:

I remember watching the prices of the g-birds when s5a came out thinking they were too expensive for me, but i did end up buying the zeraora v when s6 came out because of how insane the texture looked on top of the nice art.
