The artwork is the same artwork you know from the English and Japanese sets — what differs is the language on the card, the way the sets are put together, and the price on the box. A Chinese booster box typically costs a third to a half of what a comparable English one does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople assume cheaper means worse. It doesn't. It's cheaper because it's priced for the Chinese domestic market and imported directly, rather than passing through a UK distribution chain. Nothing has been cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne thing worth knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimplified Chinese sets aren't translations of English sets. They're assembled from the Japanese releases and given their own set codes, so a Chinese box won't match an English box card for card even when the names sound similar. Some Chinese products are also more generous with holos than any English set. Different, not lesser — but worth knowing before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBought direct, never resealed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe buy full sealed cases from suppliers in China and open them ourselves. Nothing that reaches you has been weighed, searched, picked over or resealed — the single biggest risk when buying sealed product from a marketplace.
