I’m gonna share with you guys my investment play I am making right now… GO pick yourself up a PSA 10 /tag 10Shinji Kanda Magikarp while you still can. Make some trades, move some slabs, do whatever you gotta do to get into one. I started digging into the numbers on this card and it honestly surprised me. There’s been around 23,000 copies graded… and only about 3,800 came back PSA 10. That’s roughly a 16% gem rate, which is low for a modern card. And the price has already been slowly creeping up this year. Now compare that to other cards people are chasing… You’ve got Mewtwo from Destined Rivals already pushing 10,000 PSA 10s. Even Moonbreon, which everyone knows is insanely hard to pull, has 4,700+ PSA 10s out there. So let that sink in… This Magikarp has been out longer than sets like Prismatic and Destined Rivals, and there are still way fewer clean PSA 10 copies. That’s what actually matters. Not hype. Not pull rate stories. Just straight supply at a PSA 10. Low gem rate usually means the population doesn’t just explode over time. Add in the Shinji Kanda artwork,which collectors are really starting to lock in on ,and it’s a pretty interesting setup. I’m not gonna sit here and say anything is guaranteed… But if you understand how this market works, this is about as strong of a setup as you’re gonna find right now. Set is expected to go out of print this year. Just something to think about.

Japanese vs English Pokémon cards—it’s not really about which is “better,” it’s about what game you’re playing. Japanese is where seasoned collectors often start. Print quality is cleaner, promos hit harder, and cards usually release earlier—so you’re getting ahead of the wave. It’s also way easier to source at scale if you know the right suppliers, which means better margins and more flexibility. If you’re trying to build inventory, flip, or position early… Japanese just makes more sense, in the current market where there is a huge English supply crunch English, though, is where the mass market lives. It’s more liquid, more familiar, and when hype hits, this is where prices can explode fast. If something becomes mainstream, English usually benefits the most because that’s what the broader audience buys. So the real answer? The people doing this well aren’t choosing one—they’re using both strategically.
