Seems like the plot of a poorly written comedy, where the movie could wrap up in 2 minutes after speaking to the misunderstanding party.

Martinez recently sold a Pokémon Illustrator card with a Gem Mint 9.5 rating for $672,000. Don’t ask what all that means, because I don’t know.

What a terrible article.

The EU is a huge market.

Producing separately for the entire EU would be more expensive than just making it a world wide standard for most products / companies.

You may want to Google how many EU standards have been rolled out to the US and other countries over the years.
