How the Japanese sets map to Skyridge
Cards from Mysterious Mountains and Split Earth were combined to form the English Skyridge set in 2003. Collectors of Japanese product often want one of each, since together they cover the English set’s card list.
Weight labels
Heavy, Light and Unsearched are EACollectibles’ own weight classifications, not manufacturer categories: Heavy means expected to contain a holo or better, Light means unlikely to, and Unsearched means not weighed or sorted. No label can promise a specific card. The listings refer to a Heavy Pack Policy that isn’t published as a page yet, so ask for its written terms before paying for a Heavy pack.
Checks before you buy
- Ask for exact-item photos — the listings show stock photos.
- For packs, check that both crimps are even and flat with no signs of re-sealing.
- Confirm the exact option you select (edition, weight label, pack art) is the one that will ship.
- Compare prices only with the same Japanese set and edition; English and Japanese markets are priced separately.
Buying in the USA
Prices are in USD. Checkout accepts Bitcoin or USDC; shipping is calculated from your destination country and shown before you place the order, and every payment is checked by hand before the order is confirmed.

FAQs
Is Japanese Skyridge the same as English Skyridge?
The card list overlaps, but the Japanese products are two separate sets with Japanese text and their own packaging.
Which should I buy first?
If you want the box art and a complete sealed product, the box. If you want a more affordable piece of the set, a single pack from either set.
