Why country matters
Country shapes licensing, distribution and often the physical card itself. Canadian O-Pee-Chee editions used their own numbering and backs; European sticker makers built album-based collecting; Japanese publishers set the pace for TCG rarity and print quality; American manufacturers dominated the licensed sports-card market and exported its grading vocabulary.
