Just about to head back from Japan.
I picked up some bit for the shop, and should get them out in next few days.
Tokyo is a bit rubbish for card hunting these days, the youtubers, pokebros, and mystery bag builders kind of have it stripped.
Honestly I could probably buy a lot of the cards i seen cheeper in Glasgow.
Osaka is really the best of the big city's.
I heard people in shops say dum stuff like, we just need to pick up some poncho cards take them home and grade them, there so easy to get and cheep in Japan.....no there not.
I did bring some cards back not tones, I when to carboot sales and picked up some stuff, but condition was not amazing but priced right.
Last time I was over I brought back a lot of odd stuff to see how it would sell, so yip I am bringing more, socks, stickers, bags and models.
If I can't get cards will get something.
I was over for Go Fest, so not really for the shop, but i can't help myself from looking at items with the potential to sell them on, it's now just habit.
It was good fun trip, and a bit different from the monthly trips to buy cards in USA ( mind you I dont have one this month...yet), this one was more a break for me, but I did so much walking in probably need a break again because of the trip.
And I did buy an ampharos, I now have like 6 or 7, girls keep giveing them to me, i seen that one in a 2nd hand shop and kids were miss treating it, so I had to rescue it ( I have been told by different people if pokemon was real that I would have an ampharos, 3 different people at different times, so i guess it must be true!)
