The Best Pokemon Cards I bought in Japan

[@okJLUV]

GLAD TO BE BACK i missed ya! also rip in pieces upon editing this video i noticed more damage on some of these cards (the scratch on the Magby OOFT) but idc i'm not coping :')

[@IanwithIan]

Much love for the lone double-sleeved Blaziken! The heat from that card alone would scorch all cards around it. Great move to leave it on its own page 😂

[@okJLUV]

LMAO it was a containment strategy ;P

[@PaleRiderTCG]

The 'e-reader' cards (Skyridge, Aquapolis...) have one of the best layout design I've ever seen in the Pokémon TCG. They still amaze me to this day.

[@okJLUV]

FACTUAL

[@IITheGoodLifeII]

The art, man - THE ART! The art from that era is so sick!

[@DJMilez]

So much cool stuff in this video. Thanks for sharing Jluv

[@spcrashworks]

Glad you came home safely. It was cool seeing all your pics there in Japan

[@jakemelvin8473]

25:17 that vs Steelix 🤩👌

[@jakemelvin8473]

Just to follow up I bought one off eBay a couple of days ago, so happy I’ve got one- love the vintage stuff! 😎👌

[@Churrow]

Great pick ups! I enjoyed this video so much :) great to see u making content again!

[@MrPelletty]

What are some American websites you can buy reputable sealed Japanese Pokémon booster boxes?

[@der_rote_baron2764]

Omg, I was on vacation and there are 5 new Jluv Videos. :O I need to watch faster!

[@okJLUV]

LOL there is a decent backlog ;P

[@shyguymystic3615]

So cool seeing that trainer magazine Dratini! I picked up the full set a couple years ago and love the connected artwork 😊

[@zach1372]

Love to see the mid era cards! I recommend getting the PokePark blue sheet. All 9 of the cards are illustrated by Kouki Saitou

[@okJLUV]

definitely need to add these to the binder!!

[@pokeballermike]

Great vid Fam!! Been meaning to catch a Vid since we Met at Card party but glad this came across my recommended! That Dratini was awesome and loved the Blaziken as well! Also a big fan of VS I just grabbed the Suicune in a CGC 9 at Card party.. Will def try to catch some more of your stuff! Keep crushing it Fam & Grats on Worlds! Was a blast to meet you at Card Party even if it was extremely brief lol.. Much Love as always! 💪💪🔥🔥

[@okJLUV]

yo Mike!! feels like its been ages haha but was only a few months ago. loved seeing you in Pat's vid btw that was huge!! had no time to buy cards at Card Party, wish i could go back and pick some stuff up :'( next time for sure!

[@2pupstcg]

Where do you buy singles currently online? Is cardrush jp still good?

[@tcgbuyersclub]

I’m so jealous of this haul. Congrats on the incredible placement at worlds!! 😊

[@okJLUV]

thank you heaps legend :)

[@HitmonLee86]

That bowl is beautiful! Congrats on making it to Worlds!

[@okJLUV]

it's so good! cheers pigdestroyer ;D

[@cooliusmaximus8842]

love the VS series the art in the set is amazing.

[@eirikaltmann4008]

Where would you recommend buying cards if you are visiting Australia? Going to Queensland for almost a month, and figured I might pic up some sweet cards.

[@IchibanDan]

I'm so insanely jealous of all your VS pickups. Japan is a great place, glad you enjoyed it

[@DJMilez]

I need that King Luffy fam

[@mhammer9223]

VS series is definitely something I want to collect someday because I really like Japanese exclusive sets to supplement my English vintage collection and since Pokémon Gold was my first ever Pokémon game. For the past year I've been working on putting together a Vending Series binder and it's been a lot of fun seeing art that I didn't even know existed when I was a kid collecting WotC.

[@okJLUV]

that is a wicked binder to go completing, can't go wrong. VS would be the next logical place to start for ya!!

[@ashleygarvin7177]

Side note ...A lot of the japanese shops tend to double sleeve their cards to prevent bending due to high humidity

[@okJLUV]

that makes a lot of sense ;P

[@dangies]

glad to have ya back mate

[@professorburch]

Great pick-ups, dude. Being able to evaluate the condition of those in person is a game changer. I wouldn't mind paying market for em (especially the VS series) if the appeal/condition is near mint.

[@okJLUV]

it's so good, such a breath of fresh air aha

[@StarmanDX4]

These are some crazy cool pick ups I love that Dragonite VS card that’s a lovely card

[@okJLUV]

seriously goated card man

[@andybevington]

Insane level of restraint not buying out everything you liked. Brilliant pick ups, brilliant result at Worlds! Well done dude!

[@shyguymystic3615]

Oh and I’m hoping to master the VS set! So cool and Johto is my fave 🙏🏻 definitely agree with it being an aesthetic

[@okJLUV]

Amazing pick-ups! Glad to have you back!!

[@MrGuitarfreak132]

Congrats on top 64 that’s huge! Wonderful vintage pickups. Love vintage Japanese cards! Also I hope that pika binder is stored in a fireproof safe! That thing thing is worth thousands!

[@okJLUV]

thank you legend!! haha yeah the pika binder kinda got out of hand lmao i gotta sort that out

[@Ness9355]

The cards from Japan are always so nice in my experience! The only set I’ve collected in Japanese is the VS series. My favourite Pokémon set of all time. But I was able to master it in nm or better without any issues. They take care of their cards a lot better then most!

[@okJLUV]

ahhhh you have very nice taste! would have been a bit easier but when you did it, but still kinda doable now ;P and yep, relaly surprising how good the condition of most of these cards were in!

[@phenglor88]

Great pick ups! I envy you, I want to go to Japan just to look at cards.

[@noct_urnal]

I know this is a pokemon video, but I love the WS Okayu. Pleased to see you have continually good taste lol!

[@okJLUV]

HA nice catch! i actually pulled that myself from a private opening ;D

[@noct_urnal]

@@okJLUV Jammy git! How many videos ago was it you were saying you weren't having much good luck? 🤣

[@RocSandy]

Good to have you back! Some awesome pick ups 🤝

[@okJLUV]

feels like its bEEN A HOT MINUTE

[@RedawNLIVE]

I mess with everything Darkrai and Gengar.. I would totally give you my money to go ham while you're over there, the surprise/mystery would be amazing and i'm sure i would be in for a treat with what i receive. Glad you're back man, awesome cards and i bet the experience is second to none aye.. Definitely have to do this myself some day soon before i get too old.

[@Sprinklebish]

Not me wishing I could have sent you money and said “get me as many mew cards as you can” 😂

[@okJLUV]

i'm gonna have to go back just for this

[@HarryWest19]

Congrats on the result! Great pick-ups

[@RDilux]

I think you are wrong about the pricing, getting japanese cards in japan it self will always be cheaper is not that the price is not correct but outside japan the price is inflated

[@zealaustralia]

Nakano Broadway is such a goated place, awesome pickups dude!

[@nozaroc6305]

bro pls what is ur light setup

[@okJLUV]

do you wanna know what my setup is? or are you saying it’s booty

[@nozaroc6305]

@@okJLUV no i want to know Because your lights and the caméra sublimate the cards

[@flare31777]

The bowl is superb! 🤠👍

[@okJLUV]

IT'S SO GOOD

[@yiggawhat]

congratz man! love the haul and wouldve loved to meet u there. What was the go to card store? have u been to card secret? (other influencers went there said it was the best one)

[@okJLUV]

i couldn't make it to Card Secret unfortunately! hit up a whole bunch of others and found some good ones, working on the vid for that now :D and thank you!!

[@umbertogln]

Great pick-ups! Can you share some good card shops to buy from when in Japan? Thanks!

[@okJLUV]

ye! doing that in the live stream and one of the next videos this week :)

[@shumaily5459]

Jluv is cooking! Very nice pick ups and thanks for always sharing your amazing collection!

[@DamaCollectsCards]

ONLY Top 64 At Worlds? C'mon Jluv, I expected at least three Worlds Titles and four 1st Ed Base Set Charizard's upon returning. Disappointed. But seriously, congrats homie. You made everyone in the community proud.

[@okJLUV]

2024 will be my year king. thank you though ;P

[@ChristenNoel]

wished me on and cheered me well

[@RipVondy]

Great video mate

[@okJLUV]

cheers legend!

[@dllstortion9610]

I saw the Karen's umbreon from vs series on the last page. In my opinion it is the best umbreon art that has been done, it's just so nice to look at!

[@okJLUV]

literally me every time i open that page. it's so good :')

[@justjack21]

Maaaan. Lovely cards! You were rich, now you're not 😂

[@st00ben]

e-Era is my favorite to collect, so it is so awesome to see so many pickups of it at once!

[@adzmitch]

Extremely jealous but I love to see it!

no way you baited me in thinking you were showing off karens umbreon nice cards though

[@MeetJarred]

FIRE!! Love it.

[@JorgeOliveira-ow5uu]

You rascal, teasing us with those awesome cards and all of a sudden interrupting to show figures and other merch. Great pick ups, enjoy the cards and congratulations on getting that high on the championship ladder. For a rookie, you should pat yourself on the back.

[@okJLUV]

cheers legend :)

[@dizznotdizzy]

hey jluv, really j-love these videos showing off a bunch of cool cards, i got real amped when i saw the noti. do u know when we could talk more about you sending me some of that jp hyogonosuke and yuka morii bulk u said u could help me with after worlds? if things have changed and u arent able to i totally understand but i just wanted to check in about it! thanks!

I really hope that what you subtly suggested about Japanese sleeves is not true, that would be ridiculous

[@scandimon794]

It's criminal how underrated Lv.X cards are. In my humble opinion they are the best looking cards the pokemon company has made. Super hot take, but the artwork and colors etc on the Lv.X cards are definitely some of my favorite cards ever made!

[@okJLUV]

don't let them hear it!!!!

[@scandimon794]

@@okJLUV oh yeah true. Lv.X cards about to 100x in price if the scalpers and market manipulators were actual fans of the cards, art, artist etc and not just the money😅. But yeah it was amazing to see all those beautiful cards in your binders. Japanese cards really does hit different!
