1) PSA just opened up an office in Japan. It's not all because of Pokemon.
2) Huge money in the modern basketball segment (as mentioned); go to blowoutforums.com and check their basketball forum and you can find plenty of high rollers from Asia.
3) Topps makes additional product of big releases (like MLB Bowman Draft, Transcendence) specifically for sale in Japan, some cases costing $25,000 each. Along with that, you got to meet Shohei Otani at a special event in Los Angeles.
