Understanding the logic of buying/selling trading cards

Hi all! This is just out of curiosity. I saw a post of someone here post a Mega Gengar Ex SIR, which is one of the biggest hits. The thing is, it is Korean Language. I understand that Korean cards are not a good sell here because of the quality, as it is not on par with Japanese and English.

English sells the easiest because they are also playables, because there are actually some people who play the TCG. Japanese because of quality. Korean sells the least because of quality but it is the most affordable option for those who want to collect.

Since some vendors and "investors" like to buy slabs, would it make a difference if these Korean cards are graded and are given high grades also? Because I noticed in the last card show I went to, all I saw were slabbed cards of hits, and I was wondering if the less popular languages like Korean and Chinese would have a chance of being sold if they are graded? Since people who collect these slabs are probably not players.

Japanese cards are also non-playables I believe, so just maybe Korean cards will have a chance of being sold if they are slabbed?

Hi everyone! This is my first time building a deck from scratch (sort of). I am currently running a Teach Deck, but I also want a deck that's a "just for fun" kinda deck and mess around with, and I landed with UG Sanji. I want to also play leaders that are deemed as the "worst" and "unplayable", so I thought of this one.

I really like the concept and just using vanilla characters without having to read much text gave me an idea to build a deck. I used references from YouTube and some shorts also. I'm not so good at building a deck, because my experience is really limited to just playing out of the box starter decks and adding a few pieces. This would be the first time that I would build a deck out of scratch (sort of). I commonly see the FILM package being run here, hence the film characters, and the Law and Kid cards are also some staples with strong effects.

I would just like to ask your opinion on this and what I can improve, what I can remove here and general tips on how to maximize the LA of Sanji.

Thank you all!
