    As someone who lives in Japan, i always go for the yellow sticker cards. they are always severely marked down with little to no scratches or bents. this is a collector's paradise!
    Also love the bulk pile of cards. It's like hunting for treasure sometimes.

    With the yen so low, it makes sense for foreigners to come here and buy them. I have a friend that's into Yu-Gi-Oh cards and I go around shopping for the cards he wants and just mail them for him.

      There were so many people calling it a pump and people just called them stupid. It was such a clear pump and dump and anyone who fell for it and fomo bought deserved to learn the lesson the hard way. Especially if they never bought Japanese cards ever before the hype was surrounding them. Every collector falls for this trick some way or another and its good to learn the lesson early into collecting. I was calling this whole movement for what it was day 1 as I fell for this during 2020 but luckily only fomo bought a few cards at that time before I came to my senses and treated the market as a true market. Parabolic movements will always come back down to reality.

    yep i went to tokyo last month and i think i saved my flight back to japan just by buying slabs/cards for 15-80% off. not every card and not every card shop is an amazing discount that's what's fun about card shopping/hunting in japan. contrary to this video, if i owned a pokemon shop i would definitely fly to japan and buy stuff to sell outside of japan. i think that's what pokemon steven does , it makes sense if you have a good eye for the pokemon card market

    • @XingCollectables
      @XingCollectables 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yup if I was a card store owner or even a reseller online, I would fly to Japan enjoy some time off and buy a major amount of inventory to sell. Only down side is there seems to be less Japanese collectors in the states than what you would think so selling online is the best way to move product. I visit many card shops in my state and Japanese barely moves.

    The supply was extremely low in late 2022, and everything was scalped. I couldn't find packs anywhere, and, despite shops like book off and furuhon saying "sold out", you could see their stacks on booster boxes getting ripped by 2 staff and sleeving them for sales. Pokemon went and reprinted everything from SwSh and up though, and now Amazon has some boxes for 3400 yen. Even my convenience store that would only get 1 box and limit packs to 2 per person has a whole counter of open boxes from 2019 onward. Everyone's ripping and pulling so the prices dropped hard. I just picked up a Paldean fates Mew for 4900 yen in mint lmao

    I was in Japan back in January and there was such a plethora of singles, but no sealed product to pick up. But I experienced anytime I wanted to pick up Pikachu promos, they would only let me get no more than 2 of one card. Prices were a little high, especially on Akihabara area, but we got an insane exchange rate for US to Yen so it made up for it. Love watching Japanese card shop videos. Good stuff

I moved to Japan about 8 years ago and started a business/company. I am now in at a point where i can just enjoy my hobbies etc and decided to get back into Pokemon TCG. I have been going around checking card prices etc and i do not know why but the prices between some card here and compared to the states is night and day.. Some card that i checked in America are crazy high.. for example i checked Lugia deck and it said US 178dollars and checking all the cards here i could make it for like 6000 Yen which is maybe 50 bucks or lower. So now i wonder if Japanese players have more opportunities to get into TCG or what is going on with the US market. I will be visiting Family in Florida and hope to also see what the TCG scene is again after to many years in America.

    I had visited Japan this past November/October - not really a fan of Pokemon per say, though I spent a fair share of time in these stores when I had gone. Prices being cheaper in-stores for other TCG/CCG's hold true as well. I had bought a number of vintage MTG cards for my Old School 93/94 deck, overall saved roughly $12000 at Akihabara alone in comparison to buying through popular marketplaces online. I could've gone purely for the purpose of buying the cards and it'd have been cheaper for me, including flights/accommodation costs.

    For some reason, the Full Art Texture EX card of Gengar that I have is still pretty expensive. I thought for sure that card price was also affected, but I guess not. It went from 100 to about 80. If you are a collector you aren't saving anything I don't believe. That 20 dollars diff will just be spent on another card with your collector money. How fun... anyone who wants that card is still rather unattainable, dumb.

    Is it possible to have a list of the stores in Osaka/Tokyo/Kyoto that are 100 % legit and offer good prices. We have a trip coming up and we are afraid we may get scammed :(

    Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your experience and tips on Japanese card stores. Japan is the top of my list of places I want to visit and I definitely want to spend a lot of time going to different card stores. The challenge will be not spending too much money! :P

    Just subscribed! Love the content! Something I was hoping to get an answer to from someone so tenured. Where do you go to price check Japanese TCG? We have TCGPlayer for English cards, but what's that true market equivalent for prices for Japanese cards? Thank you!

      pokeca-chart.com gives you the best coverage across card-rush (online retailer) and mercari (free market) - though it can be tricky to navigate if you don't understand japanese. it's pretty straight forward though so you should be OK! thanks for watching!

      @@okJLUV Thought I would bother you one more time for help. Have you found any good website that helps you track your Japanese collection? I know GetCollectr is one good one. But it doesn't help notify you of like ups and downs of a card, unless you manually monitor (unless I'm mistaken).
      Thanks!

    I feel like I'm having an aneurysm seeing some of those cards being insanely high priced, unless I'm reading them wrong, the waifu cards could be used to buy a super cheap pc individually if google exchange is right.
