Japanese Pokemon cards often carry a higher price tag because they're considered more collectible. This is due to a few reasons. Firstly, many of the rarest Pokemon cards were originally printed in Japan, making them a must-have for serious collectors. Also, the quality of Japanese cards, from the card stock to the printing, is usually top-notch. Plus, some cards are exclusive to Japan or released there first, adding to their desirability and value.

Because they're better, simple as that. Japanese Pokemon cards are the OG, and anything that's original holds more value in the collector's world.

It's all about supply and demand. Japanese Pokemon cards are in high demand but not as readily available worldwide, driving up their prices. Plus, the rarity and exclusive releases in Japan make them more sought after.
