Items apply a specific healing remedy, buff to your Pokmon, or an opponent disadvantage, while Supporter gives you abilities like drawing two more cards
What/why I did the things below
The First is a Pygmy Hippo foil card that CGC notes as a "Test Print (Foil Border Exodus) Factory," graded in a CGC 8.5
However, with NM Unlimited copies selling for around the market price, they're far more affordable in comparison
Key Differences: Thicker card stock - Japanese cards feel more premium and durable Better centering - Fewer off-center cards (important for grading!) Sharper colors - Richer, more vibrant artwork Fewer print lines - Less common quality control issues Glossier finish - Holos and full arts really pop Why This Matters: If you're planning to grade your cards (PSA, BGS, CGC), Japanese cards have a higher chance of getting gem mint grades due to better quality control
