Hi.
I am currently on holiday in Japan and am heading to Tokyo tomorrow (in Kyoto now).
Thinking about heading to a Pokemon centre. My question is what is currently worth buying or investing collectible wise? I haven’t had time to do my research so any suggestions would be awesome.
I could add a few pictures perhaps later on in the week. Thanks
Drop in on Sasaki and pick up one of his snap Poliwags
get gold stars and no rarities, shinings and crystals.
Buy them all!! all Japanese cards are awesome 
I say get whatever stands out to you as cool and collectible. 
Lol why is it everyone associates price and rarity as cards that are good to buy…
Collecting shouldn’t just focus on value. But I know he is asking about investment…
The snap poliwag I sold I only made about 10-15% profit on… which is bad compared to some more common Japanese holo cards like jungle or fossil which will actually earn 200% + profit graded…
Don’t get your hopes up with no rarities gold stars etc… Profit is usually smaller on these, and higher risk as many are damaged or in the hands of collectors / resellers who don’t even care about the hobby…
Just buy the cards you love or feel attached to. Buy cool artworks or characters that are nostalgic for you. Buy what you can budget for, and remember there is many toys and games and cool figures in Japan also. So it doesn’t just have to just be rare cards…
Anyways, hope you have fun in kyoto
Lol I was being half serious about Poliwag since we get all these investment posts but not the amount they can invest. But in all honesty if you are looking to invest which I am not sure if they mean buy something like you said jungle and grade it to sell straight away or long term investing which a Poliwag with only 20 copies might be a better bet.
