I'm not a long-time collector or even knowledgeable on anything Pokémon but if "value" was equal across the board, Japanese cards would be the way I would lean towards. In my opinion, the overall quality of the cards is night and day when compared to the English versions. To me, it almost feels like the English market is based on financial gain and massive turnarounds, whereas the Japanese market seems to be more focused on the beauty and quality of the product.

English man. the yellow brings back that nostalgia for those cards like Squirtle, and Wartortle. Cards we had as kids but NOW they are holographic, it makes them feel a little more special. The Japanese cards are quite attractive there is no doubt there, it brings out the "Ooooooh Shiny!" in me yet i still love to see that solid yellow border. When i was a kid and the EX cards started coming out, I collected a few but I stopped buying them because I didn't like the lines at the bottom of the card that you could swipe into the E reader thing.. stupid me though, because if i wouldn't have stopped i'm sure i would have a decent collection of classic cards. I'm half tempted to buy this just to hang on to for 20 years
