Beginner guides to Japanese sets — how the boxes, the rarities and the names work.

  1. Guide № 13 · 6 min read 30th CELEBRATION Card Set: nine regions, 27 starter promos Nine sealed sets, one for every region a journey ever started in. What is actually inside the all-nine bundle, and how it compares with a booster box.Read the guide

  3. Guide № 06 · 6 min read How to read a Japanese set code: OP-17, SV2a, M6a and the rest A set code identifies a release. One Piece card numbers can contain a series prefix; Japanese Pokémon cards show the set identifier separately from the collector number. Use the code when searching for the exact Japanese release.Read the guide
  4. Guide № 10 · 5 min read How to spot fake or resealed Japanese Pokémon and One Piece product Counterfeit cards and resealed boxes exist. Checking the source, packaging and card can reveal warning signs, but it does not guarantee authenticity or identify every case.Read the guide
  5. Guide № 02 · 8 min read How to start collecting Japanese Pokémon cards Which box to open first, how to read a Japanese card, what the rarity codes mean, and how to keep what you pull — a first guide for collectors who start with the Japanese print.Read the guide
  6. Guide № 05 · 6 min read Japanese High Class packs explained: VSTAR Universe, Shiny Treasure ex, Terastal Festival ex, Mega Dream ex High Class is a Japanese product category whose specifications vary by set.

  8. Guide № 03 · 7 min read Japanese Pokémon card rarities explained: AR, SR, SAR, UR and the rest The small mark in the bottom-left corner of a Japanese card tells you its tier.

Guide № 04 · 4 min read Japanese Pokémon card release calendar 2025–2026 Every Japanese set since the start of 2025, with the day it reached Japanese shelves and the day — and name — its English print followed. Dates from the official Japanese and English Pokémon sites; updated as new sets are announced.Read the guide
  10. Guide № 08 · 6 min read Japanese vs English One Piece Card Game: what is actually different The card number is a starting point for comparing Japanese and English One Piece. Release timing, product contents and collectible versions can also differ; check each edition separately.Read the guide
  11. Guide № 01 · 7 min read Japanese vs English Pokémon booster boxes: what's different Same cards, different box. Pack size, box size, release order, rarity marks and what a Japanese booster box actually contains — explained once, plainly.Read the guide
  12. Guide № 07 · 6 min read One Piece Card Game rarities explained: L, SR, SEC, SP and what a parallel is L, C, UC, R, SR and SEC are core One Piece marks. Composition varies by product; a parallel describes a printing, and the number of card types in a set is not a promise about one box.Read the guide
