Two major things happened. The COVID hype died down and the Japanese economy turned down. I think when their economy turns around these cards will gain back some of what they lost but not even close to all. That $325 Iono from Clay Burst will not get back to $1200 but Maybe $500 to $600. people that had to sell to pay bills and feed their family will want that card back at a fraction of the cost and we will see a market correction. It is good time to buy the big hit cards and sealed boxes especially Japanese 151.

I've been enjoying the calm reset on Japanese prices. It's been super fun to buy boxes in mass and getting big hits graded. The secondary market has been fairly healthy for Japanese cards at the moment.

Shoutout to all the hypebeasts who lost a ton of money chasing the bag! Never bet against reprints & only buy cards that you want/like. If you like it, it'll get more valuable over time naturally if you care about retaining the price you paid. Just imo don't touch cards in the first 2 years of a set when possible (after at least 1 round of reprints). Real talk too, I'm really enjoying being able to rip early SV Era super cheap now! Didn't get to open much because of prices initially, so able to go through and collect what I like & rip at a reasonable price. If you bought cards when they were inflated and they're "worth less" now, just ask yourself this: Do I still like the card? If so, then who the fuck cares. The "loss" is only when you sell AND you can consider it a couple cents a day to have something you like. Just keep what you like, sell/trade what you don't like, and don't focus on prices because they change all the time. What doesn't change though? The card.
@OpossumBud2 ай бұрын
To answer your question: no. Most of the people who bought them inflated did not like the card, they liked the price tag

In my opinion part of the reason why a lot of the Japanese cards have fallen in price is the recent reprint of the Japanese most recent sets. I feel that has cooled the entire Japanese market significantly. Love japanese cards and have collected a few full art trainers that I really enjoy as well as nearly having a master set of the English full art trainers.

As someone who gets their cards graded when they pull them, it would be dumb for you to go with English over Japanese. I have just got back my order from PSA 73 cards were sent in. 25 japanese and 48 English. All pack fresh within the margin of error for centering. 24 of the 25 JPN received 10s the other was a 9... 22 of 48 English cards were 10s, 23 of 48 were 9s, 2 were 8s, and 1 was a 7. I dont care if its less for the same artwork, i will never buy an English product again until they fix quality control. ALL CARDS WERE PULLED BY ME AND PLACED INTO SLEEVE & CARD SAVER. Purchased a centering tool and all were within margin. Sealed English product is the only thing worth it.

I love me some Japanese its crazy tho how in the last 6 months to the past Year the prices went from insanely expensive back to affordable. I mean dont get me wrong I Kinda like it cause now I can pick up the promos and other cards that were thousands of doll hairs for a few hundo bucks. But in a way it sux how some of my graded stuff dropped so much in value . But that all apart of the shiny card board world so gotta just keep on trucking , cause god only knows what the future holds. They can do a switch a Roo again or even back out we never know it was all the reprints and the English and Chinese markets that effed everything up but its all in fun in my opinion. Just wouldn't be so heart breaking if I didn't have a high 5 figure valued sealed collection in just Japanese not adding in my WOTC English sealed stuff and all my sealed vintage modern meaning B&W eras thru Sun&Moon,

1: I lean towards collecting the full art trainers bc they look fanfuckentastic. I don't buy them as singles tho, it's abominably expensive, I could lose more investibility with some, & I never know which ones would be a trap. I have full art trainers _moe_ that I could/would sell ungraded on Whatsapp for a decent buckaroozy (sorted by the generation they first appear in canonically & selling bundles then singles or using the wheel of names application), but I'll likely keep them bc they look awesome. I mean I get why hyping this is bc trends = quick stacks, but once it peters out like my libido after 1 hour of edge-god maxing my purple headed seviper to PokéFurs, PokéMusus, PoKéMimi (a.k.a. "MoéMoN" or whatever the fxck =^=), or the aged up depictions of trainers¹. Also the alternate art cards, for both trainers & Pokémon cards, are stunning or at times are just outright adorable. There's some heartwarming gems, i.e. my "childhood fren ralts"/"teen years besfren Kirlia"/"possible wifey & baby's mama Gardevoir²" line that show story progression by having little lore tidbits, are the one's I'm 100% never selling any of them; I'm so locked in with lore inclusive gallery art rares, you'd say I'm a chaingang4lifer in prison for schedule34.section3/6/9.article420 lorenut obsessive clarity.
