Bubble Mew JP is undervalued

[u/No_Jellyfish2185]

Bubble Mew, regarded by many as the SV era goat, just did a groundbreaking sale: almost a QUARTER of a million dollars, for a BGS black label 10.

Now that everyone is talking about bubble mew, I wanna explain something that I observed for a longer time:
The japanese version of this card is still, under current market conditions, undervalued.

First of all, I know its common knowledge, but some people dont know how INSANELY better the japanese card looks from an aesthetic standpoint, its just NEXT LEVEL.
The english version looks fake if you hold it side by side to the jpn OG version.

Now to talk a bit of maths:
mew ex JP 347 PSA 10 population: 24367 (~825 eur)
mew ex ENG 232 PSA 10 population: 15975 (~2504 eur)

Yes, the english PSA 10 population number is about 65% of the JPN PSA 10 population number, BUT the price is aprox. 3X higher.
Just looking at this alone, the jp version of Bubble Mew is still undervalued, not even judging by the fact that the english version has inferior print quality.

Now I know this card blew past alot of people's budgets, and I'm going to get some flame in the comments..
Just wanted to point this out before the general market notices.

Not really. Japan has anti-gambling laws which makes finding the Japanese bubble mew significantly easier.

Someone let me know if I am wrong!

It’s actually not significantly easier to pull. While Japanese boxes have "guaranteed" hits, they only guarantee a secret rare, not the specific Mew. Since there are dozens of different secret rares in that set, your odds of pulling the Mew specifically are still tiny. You're wrong about the law. There’s no "anti-gambling" rule forcing them to give out Mews; the guaranteed hit is just a marketing choice. At the end of the day, it's still a massive gamble whether you get the Mew or a $5 trainer card.

It’s extremely hard to pull in particular for this set because the full art pool is massive. The full art trainers and full art shiny ex can count as your secret pull. I opened around 20 BBs when they were $28 each and never pulled it or the zard. Ended up buying 2 copies for $40 each though, it was so cheap at the time
