Make a three-field identity
Write card language, product/release context and seller location as separate fields. A Japanese-language card sold overseas remains Japanese-language; an English-language listing does not prove a particular regional product configuration. Record the local number and original product announcement before assigning an international counterpart.
Use the twelve catalogs as indexes, not market certification
The cached catalogs preserve native names and provider identifiers in twelve language contexts, including Korean and both Chinese script contexts. They also contain digital Pocket records, which must not be treated as physical regional releases. Catalog presence does not independently verify a distributor, local stock, tournament legality or exhaustive variants.
Compare a delivered item, not just a headline price
An exact-print comparison needs language, number, finish, condition and included contents. Shipping, currency conversion and import handling can change the delivered total. For customs or consumer-rights questions, use the relevant government guidance; this reference does not provide legal or tax advice. No current seller recommendation or live price is claimed.
A gap should remain visible
When a regional publisher, pack count or counterpart has not been checked against a local primary source, leave that field unresolved. Inferring an entire region from a similar Japanese or English release is not a shortcut to trustworthy coverage. The Japan and Korea notes show how to use native catalog evidence without pretending every distribution detail is settled.
