EN ↔ JP comparison · which version to grade

Grade the Japanese Giratina V, or the English one?

Which to grade: Grade the Japanese Lost Abyss 111 — it clears raw plus the fee at a ~3.5× PSA 10 premium. We cannot yet call the English Lost Origin 186: only 2 recent PSA 10 sales, too thin to judge, so we hold rather than guess. Revisit the English side once more sales post.

Side-by-side of the same card in both languages. Graded figures are recent sold medians (eBay); raw is the TCGplayer / market reference. Gem rates are labeled estimates. As of 2026-06-28. example/mock data
