    Pointing out errors, showing off and identifying smaller niche cards properly, showing appreciation towards goated illustrators? Quite literally BEING IN JAPAN to film it all? This video’s amazing man, can’t give you enough kudos for the details, editing, and effort.

      It actually predates the first Japanese zard, the Kairiki zard is often seen in the same way as the English Shadowless First Edition Zard, as it lacks a rarity symbol, further boosting it's rarity.

    Hey JLUV,
    Thanks so much for another great and REAL video. We share a love for vintage cards and it's so refreshing to see someone on TH-cam who cares about the actual cards. I'm going to Nagoya in a few months and was hoping to get some advice. At Clove Base, what is a polite way to ask in Japanese if I may see their vintage bulk? I'm about a N5-N4 level. Also, if I'm shopping for awhile and want to see multiple cards, is it impolite to ask them repeatedly to open the display cases? Thanks so much!

    • @okJLUV
      @okJLUV  หลายเดือนก่อน

      hey daisuki, thanks so much for helping support the channel! really appreciate it.
      awesome to find more collectors vibing off the older overlooked cards :) your best bet is a simple phrase; すみませんですけどバルクカードがありますか?you can interchange バルクカード with any other terms specific to what you're looking for; 旧裏 for old backs, or ADV/DPPt/BW for specific gens. your mileage may very depending on the store but i'm sure with at least N4 knowledge like you've got, you should be able to make it work - at worst, you can rely on Google Translate!
      as for looking through multiple cabinets, not at all - just try to batch your cabinet search. so when you're ready to look at all the cards in one specific cabinet, do it all at once instead of 1 by 1. saves everybody time. hope that helps, just reach out if you need any more help, and have fun!

    It's so interesting how the experience varies so much depending on the time and what you're looking for, for me the best shop was Bee, with a huge collection of non-holo VS cards and very cheap price (mostly due to condition, but i'm fine with it). The most crazy thing was that they asked me if I wanted to negociate, and offered me a 15% discount on the whole order, which was unheard of in Japan for me 😳
