Definitely on the right track, but yes I still need something that shows the other old sets. I can grab the images one-by-one off of Bulbapedia, but I would be shocked if a gallery doesn’t already exist?
Because sometimes they’re not. Some cards are uncensored, some cards are holographic when the English copies weren’t (for mysterious reasons), some cards we simply never got (even a few ordinary set cards IIRC).
But let’s put all that aside for a second – the Japanese cards are the originals. Obviously they’re mostly similar to English, but there is a reason why fans create Japanese binders despite not being able to read the text. Same logic applies here, especially for those of us that can’t readily afford to construct complete Japanese sets at the moment.
If you’re content looking at English that’s fine, but there are various moments I want to look at a Japanese gallery, and I have yet to find one like what Pkmncards.com offers.
There are examples like Fossil Mew Japanese Set and an English Promo or Neo Files where it was a Japanese Promo and English Set card.
There are also a lot of additional variants on the English side typically for non-holo etc // the set lists I don’t think were 1 to 1 after base both being 102 cards
