English TSD vs TSD from Japan?

[David's Confused Pokedad]

I would like to find out price range and trade value of the two. Seems like Tego might have a few of these ones you can win in Japan. Would like to have one. Come Worlds they will be all over the place for trade. Would two for one be about right?

i think that would be perfectly fine, but would be in your favor.

heck yea it would be in our favor. And I don't know if the japanese would want to do it. They didn't have many chances to actually get the card before now, and even with the current tournaments, they might still want a lot of the card. Now there might be some players that might get a lot at the tournaments in japan and they might do it, but I think overall, it won't happen. It's still trading 2 playable cards for 1 playable card. They do the same exact thing, and I don't know if the japanese players will even care if the american tsd is valuable.

Hey! I just spotted an auction on eBay that is selling a Japanese TSD! It is already higher than the English ones! I must admit that I'm surprised. Could it be the exchange rate to US currency that is making it higher than it should? I'd keep an eye on it, it is far from over as of today!

I think the JPN one is more rare, since you can only get it by winning tournies.

Japanese players can only use Japanese TSD, even with a japanese language translation of TSD in another language.

(approximately US $85.21)

Now look at that sale price! The value of that Japanese one is nearly three times the value of the English equivalent!

But it's an useless card for decks, unless you're playing DP On (which is very rarely played). Pokémon Retriever and Farmer are superior. So to me it seems like TSD is just a collectors item here in Japan, not a deck card.
