The English term and the Japanese one.
From Common to SIR and Gold.
Holo, Reverse Holo, 1st Edition, Poké Ball…
Type “SIR”, “IR” or “reverse” and gotem. gets it.
The whole set with every version: each card in regular and Reverse Holo, plus the Illustration Rares, secret rares and Golds. A complete set only counts the numbered cards.
They're the Japanese names for Illustration Rares: AR (Art Rare) matches IR, SAR (Special Art Rare) matches SIR.
On a Holo, the artwork shines; on a Reverse Holo, everything but the artwork does.
Usually 10 in French and English, often 5 in Japanese packs.
36 in French and English, 18 in a half booster box, usually 30 in Japan.
A card whose number goes past the set's total, like 201/165. They're often the rarest.
A price too good to be true, blurry printing, colors or font that look off, card stock too thin or too glossy. Always compare with a real card from the same set.
Each language has its own cards: a master set is usually built in a single language. On gotem., French and Japanese each have their own catalog.
Your collection, finally well sorted.
