The printing facility in Japan produces cards with: Better centering JPN cards are cut with tighter tolerances, making off-center cards far less common than in English print runs Smoother card stock The paper quality is more uniform, reducing surface imperfections that cost points on the grading scale Cleaner edges Factory-fresh JPN cards show fewer whitening issues straight out of the pack Consistent foil application Holographic patterns and texture are applied more evenly This means a freshly pulled Japanese SAR or SR has a meaningfully higher chance of earning a PSA 10 compared to the same card printed in English
