Why are Japanese Pokemon cards cheaper?
Japanese Pokemon cards are often cheaper because they are more available in Japan, considering it's where they're first released. Also, printing costs might be lower there, and the market is more saturated, making them less rare compared to the international versions. Plus, the demand abroad, especially for English cards, often drives up the price outside of Japan.

It's all about the supply and demand, folks! In Japan, Pokemon is huge, and so is the supply of cards. More cards, lower prices. Plus, outside Japan, there's a higher demand for English cards, so naturally, the Japanese ones are gonna be cheaper.
Actually, not all Japanese Pokemon cards are cheaper. Some rare editions and vintage cards are super expensive due to their collectibility and low availability. It really depends on what cards you're looking at.
