Jun is back in town! I usually do a Q&A every other month, this one is a 2 for 1. If you guys have any questions for either of us feel free to ask. We did a video that will go live in the next day or so that will field a few more questions. I should get it up next week!
Here is a photo I’ll use for the thumbnail, photoshop wizards feel free to work your magic:
How far are the stars?
Can we get a general update about the Player’s Ceremony SM-P card that was discussed in-depth the last time you made a video together?
Will smblack be at World’s 2019?
Scott, why is your food portion at least twice the size of Jun’s?
Do you believe that we’ll see any kind of impact on prices for vintage Japanese cards (graded or non graded) due to PSA opening in Japan?
1- who would win in a dual? Smblack of scumbagpratte?
2- is the Pokémon market down atm ? I’ve noticed a lot of psa 10 wotc listed extremely low or is this the norm after a crazy 2017?

Jun do you ever come across fake cards/people trying to sell fake cards at the shop?
Not a question, but a Video on how to identify re-sealed booster boxes and booster packs please 
How do you guys feel about the new Thai Pokémon cards that came out? Do you think this is just a one time thing or will there be multiple new sets?

Having established a presence in Japan, do you think PSA is getting any significant exposure or market recognition there? If so, is it being able to come across as a serious and thrustworthy company to Japanese customers despite its frequent increases in processing times? (Japanese don’t come across as very tolerant to overpromise and underdelivery, curious to whether such action is seen over there as standard teething problems or a reason to avoid their business)
Can you guys discuss your perceived notion of online casual listings in Japan vs the US? In my perspective, US sellers seem to be more savvy and have more ‘professional’ pricing mechanisms. Am I skewing reality just because Japanese cards are usually cheaper than their English counterparts or do you feel that there is a genuine lack of price awareness in Japan as compared to the US?
Smblack: What do you collect, what’s your most expensive or rare card?
Smpratte: You have mentioned you also collect Lego, do you have any Bionicle sets?
Both: How tired are you of the “Tell me what to invest in” questions?
Smpratte: With PSA clearly taking on more then they can handle at this time and also their lack of expertise with regard to error cards (no damage Ninetales) as well as fake 1st edition stamps, have you ever considered starting your own Pokemon card grading company? The grading industry could really use an expert looking at cards, rather than individuals just looking at card condition.
Question for both: Favorite kind of sushi roll?
Do you think the US will ever get any good promos? Of the caliber of Japanese promos.
What do you think about the General Mills promos?
Smblack@ is Himeno active at all in Japan? ie: appearances etc. How about other top Pokémon illustrators?
Smpratte@ now with Pokémon collectors having grown up will world’s ever come to Vegas? Shows, gambling, dining…all world class, isn’t it time?
Both@ What will be the next Pokémon?
@smblack: What sealed product do you own?
@smblack: With the expansion of PSA coming to Japan, is there talk among collectors about grading? I see more and more PSA listings on Yahoo Japan, and wonder if it’s growing popularity among the collectors.
@smpratte: Outside of the IG Pokemon Community, what are your biggest concerns with the hobby moving forward?
I have no idea if there’s a pre-existing answer to this question but at the very least not one I’m aware of at this point.
What was the motivation for Pokemon moving into the Thai market? With a population of 69 million and estimated 30th most spoken language worldwide surely there were other, more advantageous languages/cultures for Nintendo to try and move into? Is this just an opportunity to move more into the Asian market or is there an actual, more distinct reason for Thai being selected?
Edit: Ah lol, just building on your post there @mjisaacs, sorry, didn’t realise! 
@ smblack, what is your favorite stage of matter?
@ smpratte, what cloud formation do you like best?
Thank you.
It would be cool to see you guys have a pokemon tcg battle
How do the Japanese view consumer debt?
Is it worth it to open 50 japanese gym hero booster packs in search of naked mistys?
@ smpratte: Peanut Butter. Smooth or chunky?
@ smblack: Do you foresee the Thai Pokémon TCG adventure having a happy ending?
@ both: Favorite recent (2014-2019) Japanese promo card?
