Gold Stars: English or Japanese?

Collecting

I try to go for English for cards I’m attached to from playing the TCG, and Japanese for anything else as I prefer the look overall, plus they’re generally much cheaper as others have said. Wasn’t playing the TCG during the Gold Star era so have gone for Japanese. There’s also a satisfaction in acquiring an Unl Gold Star with a <10 PSA 10 pop.

Japanese cards look cleaner to me and have a very authentic feel, I often gravitate to them when purchasing cards, but if you were to make me choose my childhood English cards or the Japanese equivalents, I’d probably go with English.

I like the deeper colors that the Japanese gold stars tend to have compared to the average English card. However, I’ve seen some European English gold stars with incredible colors. Otherwise, I prefer the English border.
