{"title":"Star Birth","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout Star Birth (Japanese, 2022)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStar Birth (S9) launched in Japan in January 2022 as the first set of the Sword and Shield VSTAR era. It introduced the VSTAR mechanic to the Japanese game and set the template that English collectors would later recognise through Brilliant Stars. The set leans into clean, modern card design with a focus on hero Pokemon getting their first VSTAR treatment, and it remains a favourite entry point for collectors building a Japanese binder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChase Cards and Rarity Tiers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Japanese run includes Double Rare V cards, Triple Rare VSTAR cards, and the higher Art Rare and Special Art Rare slots that often do not appear in the English equivalent. Notable pulls in our current stock include Shaymin VSTAR 013\/100 (JP), Whimsicott VSTAR 050\/100 (JP), and Arceus V 083\/100 (JP), alongside their V counterparts and the Infernape Holo 021\/100 (JP). Because Japanese print runs use tighter centring and a glossier card stock, the holo pattern on these cards tends to sit flatter and the colour saturation reads stronger in hand than English prints from the same era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition and Shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery single in this collection is mint or better, pulled fresh and sleeved on arrival.
