Setup, Compatibility & Care
When handling your Japanese Pokemon booster packs, keep the cards in a cool, dry place to prevent warping of the card stock. If you are collecting for value, it is recommended to place 'hit' cards—such as holos, ultra rares, and secret rares—directly into a penny sleeve followed by a rigid top loader or a secure binder page. For compatibility, remember that while these cards share the same back design as international cards, their front-side text is Japanese; you may wish to use apps like Google Lens or specialized database sites like 'Bulbapedia' to translate card abilities and attacks if you intend to use them in casual play scenarios.
