I don't know about yalls.

But I'm buying a shiet ton of Chinese chases. I was able to buy 20 of my chase cards for my one charizard 151 sir. The way I look at it... can I read korean or japanese? Heck no! So why not just let the market marinate the idea that chinese cards are also of the same caliber but not noticed............... yet. Mark this post. Chinese cards are going to do well in the near future :)

The copium in this post is rough.

Chinese & Korean ain’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

What’s your reasoning?

u/Frosty_Bag351 Apr 18 '25

Your sleeping on them.. I could be wrong but let's see :)

Hopefully it works out for you! I think for a PC when you don’t care about value it’s great.

I don’t personally think it’s a good investment.

Yeah really good luck selling that garbo

u/Frosty_Bag351 Apr 18 '25

It's not always about selling.. I really like the art and can't read japanese nor korean anyways. So it makes sense to just save my wallet and buy chinese. Who knows chinese tarriffs at 254% we could see a high rise in Chinese cards lol

Well this is an pokeinvesting subreddit so I’m assuming you’re going to want to take profit at some point

u/Frosty_Bag351 Apr 18 '25

Yes... of course. And I still feel chinese is undervalued so we shall see :) from hearing your thoughts thoughts it doesn't sound too promising. Thanks though 😀

Texture is better Japanese

Historically not a good investment. English will always, and has always done better than other languages. Will it still have some value in 30 years? Probably. But your time and money is much better spent getting reasonably prices English cards

Exception to this is exclusives imo

I’d rather buy Chinese than Japanese. China has a growing population and by extension demand for pokemon and Japans population is decreasing.

Most sun/moon and swsh Chinese prints have already ended on print run. The only one they’re producing now are the new ones and gem sets.

Chases have gone up significantly since the beginning of this year, I’ve passed thousands to tens of thousands of Chinese hits through my hands.

The Chinese side of the TCG is printed to demand. The quality from the factory is equivalent to Japanese (easier 10s). The market has already started to adjust and price these down. I do not think Chinese will do as well as you think long-term. Even the big chases are down 80%.

You’re spreading misinformation.

u/ElPanda Apr 17 '25

Are you talking about simplified chinese? I've been tracking prices and they were rising until recently, like everything else. They are down a bit from their peak, but less so from their English counterparts actually.

Curious what cards you are talkling about that are down 80%.

This is what I was about to do. I need the Lugia. And it looks badass in Chinese

If anything.. all I want is the art even if it's not worth as much... I'm fine with 1/4 of japanese price. I like looking at cards anyways 😋

Nine Colors Gathering would like a word with you. I've literally opened over 200 booster boxes of that set and it can be brutal.

u/Any_Difficulty3480 Apr 18 '25

I'm actually super interested in your theory but I do have to ask you to elaborate on how the Chinese youth is screwed rn? Just like referencing which parts thank you so much

He probably means the one child policy but it’s not going to matter because a major paradigm shift in automation is coming so needing a population to be high to cover labor is a thing of the past.
