im wondering besides the promo's and jumbo cards

how easy are Good to Mint shape Base set to D/P/Pt era Japanese cards to come by these days?

I have Japanese Cards from Base Set to Neo 2 and Southern islands but none after so i have alot of catching up to do im wondering is it worth it someday after i binder the ones i have or should i just keep the Southern Islands and banned art cards and sell the rest?
 
It is most difficult to find cards from ADV and PCG eras. Even if you have the money to spend, booster packs are incredibly expensive and seldom show up for sale. Mint cards do pop up for sale but it is usually when an old collector decides to part with their collection. I am fortunate enough to have acquired most of the ADV era and several PCG sets by purchasing from retired collectors.

Cards from before the ADV era are not too hard to find. Packs are still somewhat expensive but they do crop up for sale often enough. Several well-known sellers often have singles and so it isn't difficult to piece together most of those sets. Crystals have become very expensive although not terribly difficult to find for most of them. Anything after PCG is still easy to grab. You can find DP/P/Pt era cards easily on eBay and probably here on PB as well. For those sets, boxes and packs are actually somewhat practical although like usual, still more expensive than other options.
 
Thanks for the wisdom you gave SoulWind :)

Well Boosters i might do but i think i'll stick with lots and hope i get lucky

Are there any reliable Japanese card lists online in English other than Bulbapedia?

Some day i'll get my English cards in new binders and pages hopefully by 2015 if not by then i'll prolly just sell my Japanese cards cept for some.
