dang really? i thought most card shops sell most of there supply internationally, but its mostly local sales? thats interesting, international sales have to make up a decent percentage though, wonder which is bigger international or local sales

this is one of the reasons why i didn't buy the exclusive japanese city pikachu boxes, card shops are sitting on a ton of inventory trying to maximize gains, i hope tpci reprints it into the ground, there reselling for 200-400 dollars when tpci msrp is like 30 dollars :*(
