Compare / Lugia V (Alt Art)
EN ↔ JP comparison · which version to grade
Grade the Japanese Lugia V, or the English one?
The English, if you're chasing the ceiling — the Japanese, if you want the surer hit.
The English 186 has the bigger payout — $1,213 PSA 10, a 3.0× premium, EV +$433.98. The Japanese 110 is the calmer grade: a 1.1× premium ($1,119 PSA 10), EV +$32.66. Higher expected value sits with the English; higher odds with the Japanese.
Graded breakdown
Graded figures are recent eBay market medians (auction + fixed-price listings); where a grade's sample isn't captured for a print it shows as not tracked — never estimated.

The cited answer above is static; this is the interactive tool for the Japanese print. The English side's card page shows a Supply outlook instead of a calculator.
