Why are japanese pokémon cards silver?
Why are Pokemon cards getting a silver border instead of yellow? Pokemon cards are likely changing from yellow to silver borders because they're already that way in Japan. Japanese cards switched from yellow to silver borders when the Black and White set was released in 2010.

Why are japanese pokémon cards so cheap?
Because the reprints are so small and infrequent, prices don't move much. That makes it much easier for both collectors and investors. Anyone following some of the recent popular Japanese sets (like Eevee Heroes, for example) has already seen this principle in action.
