A note on sourcing: the Zeraora VMAX 219/172 prices above are the asking prices on each item page as of 2026-09-20, and USD is the conversion the page displayed at checkout. All copies are the Japanese print of the Pokémon TCG[5]. Condition notes come from the seller’s own Mercari / Yahoo! Flea Market condition field (translated); Suruga-ya rows are shop stock and carry none. Listing titles are in Japanese — the tiles below link to each copy. Mercari supports overseas buyers via partner proxy services[3].
Yahoo! Flea Market has every cheap slab: ¥7,850 twice, ¥8,000, ¥8,300 and ¥9,800, all unused. The PSA 9 at ¥4,122 is a Mercari listing whose seller notes slight damage — on a slab, that is the holder. Raw copies are ¥1,899 with no obvious damage on Mercari and ¥2,980 for Suruga-ya’s shop stock; forty-nine raws in stock means the floor is not moving. None of the listings offers Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity).

Everything on this page refers to the Japanese-language Zeraora VMAX, collector number 219/172 in VSTAR Universe high-class pack. An English print of the same artwork is a different card with its own number, set name and market[5], as are promo versions and full-art variants from other sets. Match the number on the slab label before you compare any price.
PSA 10 vs raw Zeraora VMAX: what a 4.13× premium buys
A 4.1× multiple, or a ¥5,951 gap, is a grading premium on a card that is cheap and plentiful raw. The PSA 9 at ¥4,122 gives a self-submitter a floor of sorts — 53% of the 10 — but with forty-nine raws for every twenty-one slabs, the card is not being graded much, which usually means the 10 rate is not great on this dark VMAX art under PSA’s GEM MT 10 standard[6]. The ¥7,850 finished slab is cheap enough to skip the experiment.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥7,450 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥1,899 | Cheapest way to own the artwork; condition is whatever the photos show. |
| Buy a raw copy that offers Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) | raw price + ¥1,700 | Authentication[1] is seller-enabled; the cheapest raw listing today does not offer it, so compare the next ones in the table above. |
Buy the ¥7,450 slab for gem mint. For the binder, the ¥1,899 clean raw — Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity)[1] is not offered on today’s listings, so rely on photos. The ¥4,122 PSA 9 is a fair sealed option if the holder wear does not bother you.
How to order Zeraora VMAX SAR 219/172 from a Japanese seller
A Yahoo! Flea Market slab is bought through a proxy exactly like a Mercari listing. The steps:
- Step 1 — Pick the copy, not the average. Use the table above: the cheapest in-stock PSA 10 today is ¥7,450; anything above the range there is paying for a seller’s optimism.
- Step 2 — Order through OneMall. Click the tile, add to cart, and a Japan-side team places the Mercari order for you — sellers who write 海外発送不可 (no overseas shipping) still ship because the address is a Tokyo warehouse.
- Step 3 — Optional Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity). Raw copies that show the authentication option can be checked for +¥1,700[1][2]; for a PSA slab the label already does that job.
- Step 4 — First payment, then wait for arrival photos. Ask for unboxing photos if you want to see the slab corners before it flies.
- Step 5 — Second payment for international shipping. A single slab is light; batch it with other cards inside the 90-day free storage (30 days after consolidation) window and pay one shipping fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a PSA 10 Zeraora VMAX SAR 219/172?
In-stock Japanese listings on 2026-09-29 ask ¥7,850 to ¥9,800 (about US$54–68 before shipping); all five cheapest are Yahoo! Flea Market slabs.
Should I buy the PSA 9 Zeraora VMAX rather than a PSA 10?
At ¥4,122 it is 53% of the cheapest PSA 10; the seller notes slight wear, which on a slab means the holder. Reasonable if you want a sealed copy cheaply.
Does Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) apply to Zeraora VMAX listings?
Not on any of today’s listings — none has it enabled, and Yahoo! Flea Market listings never do.
Which set is Zeraora VMAX SAR from?
VSTAR Universe (s12a, VSTARユニバース), the high-class pack that closed the Sword & Shield era in Japan; 219/172 is its special-art-rare number.
What is the PSA 10 population for Zeraora VMAX 219/172?
This page does not quote a population count. PSA publishes the census in its Population Report[6], and the number moves with every submission batch, so a figure copied here would be stale within weeks. What the market shows instead is live supply: 21 PSA 10 slabs, 1 PSA 9 slabs and 49 raw copies of Zeraora VMAX 219/172 in stock on 2026-09-29 — the ratio of slabs to raws is the practical read on how heavily the card has been graded.
