Print Quality: Japanese cards often have sharper printing and smoother surfaces.
-
Earlier Releases: Japan gets most sets months before international markets.
-
Card Backs: Japanese cards have a different back design than English versions.
-
Set Content: Japan-exclusive promos and sets are often not released elsewhere.
