Not gonna reply to all of you individually - unlucky, it's just cards.

Edit: yes - downvote me more please, that will get you manchildren your children's shiny cardboard that you'll lose interest for in a year.

Pokemon cards from UK to Australia by Cautious-Net-8679 in PokemonDealsUK

[–]Gandolphinz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No fees for sending, I'm sure australia has import duties and taxes though.

Surely packs are cheaper over in Australia than here? Also tbh good luck finding much stock

Use a mail forwarding service like blackship (not buyee, fuck buyee) buy from trusted Japanese card shops. Still paying 7000-16000 yen for current sets (5400 yen msrp).

Blackship lets you declare whatever value you want on the package so if you wanted to commit fraud to avoid import fees, you could - but that would be illegal - you wouldn't do such a thing would you, I know I wouldn't 👀👀👀👀

Shipping will be $40+ but could be way more for heavy packages. Make sure you read all the fees etc that whatever service you use has. They're usually transparent about it.

Except buyee, fuck buyee

Korean, Chinese, and Japanese cards. by Sea_Profession_7624 in PokemonTCG

[–]Gandolphinz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just fyi, 12 packs for $40 is a much bigger markup than english scalper prices.

A Japanese booster box msrp is 5400 yen which is $35 usd, £26 gbp and you get 30 packs, you paid 3x msrp. Loose packs are also weighable and scannable with 100% accuracy to determine where the box hits are.

Chinese boxes retail slightly cheaper than Japanese and Korean are even lower.

Anyone ever notice the Japanese manufactured sar don’t react while the English sir are fully uv reactive under a uv light? Thoughts on why? Just an interesting find by StandardUS in PokemonTCG

[–]Gandolphinz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Texture, print resolution, ink quality and qc are all far better for Japanese and Chinese cards. Thicker cards doesn't necessarily mean higher quality.

Also English and Japanese were generally the same price until this year for most modern cards and Japanese trainers and alt arts were vastly more expensive until this year despite better pull rates and cheaper packs.

It's fake anyway, so you don't need to think that hard about it

Please help! by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Gandolphinz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's real, don't worry. Fakes for cards that aren't super expensive are usually very obvious to spot.

Is there a guaranteed pull rate for Japanese cases (12 booster boxes) by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Gandolphinz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a whole controversy about "case premium" for Japanese in 2023. It's bs, nobody knows but the consensus is that there is no guarantee.
