How to read the table: prices are what each seller asked for that Blastoise ex 202/165 copy on 2026-11-03, and the USD column is the conversion the item page showed at checkout. These are Japanese prints of the Pokémon TCG[5]; the condition column is the seller’s own Mercari / Yahoo! Flea Market condition field, translated, and Suruga-ya’s shop stock carries no condition field. Titles on the listings are Japanese — the tiles below link straight to them. Overseas buyers reach Mercari through partner proxy services[3].
On 2026-09-29 the ¥27,010 Mercari slab led, then Yahoo! Flea Market at ¥29,000, Mercari at ¥30,900 and ¥32,775 from a card shop, with a ¥59,999 Mercari listing standing alone; the PSA 9s were ¥16,800 and ¥19,999, and raws ¥12,000, ¥13,333 and Suruga-ya’s ¥18,800. On 2026-11-03 the live slabs are ¥31,000 on Yahoo! Flea Market (“Unused”) and ¥40,000 on Mercari (“No obvious damage or stains”), and the PSA 9 is ¥16,800 on Mercari (“Unused”).

These prices are for the Japanese print of Blastoise ex — 202/165 in Pokémon Card 151 — and nothing else. The English-language version of the same illustration sits under a different set name and collector number and trades in its own market[5]; promo and alternate-set versions are different cards again. Read the number on the slab label first, then compare.
PSA 10 vs PSA 9 vs raw Blastoise ex: what the premium buys
On 2026-11-03 the PSA 9 at ¥16,800 is 54% of the ¥31,000 PSA 10, a ¥14,200 gap. In the 2026-09-29 sweep the cheapest raw was ¥12,000 and the slab floor ¥27,010 (2.25×), and twenty-three PSA 10 slabs were in stock, so PSA’s GEM MT 10 standard[6] has been reached often on this card. Grading your own unused copy only makes sense against a current raw price — check the raw search tile below first, and remember grading fees and two-way shipping; buying the ¥31,000 slab is the no-wait alternative.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥31,000 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy a raw copy as-is | Current search price (¥12,000 on 2026-09-29) | Lowest-cost route to the artwork; no individual raw listing is tracked on 2026-11-03, and condition is whatever the photos show. |
| Buy a raw copy with Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) | raw price + ¥1,700 | ¥1,700 authentication fee[1], seller-enabled on Mercari listings only; Mercari official issues its conclusion before the card ships (OneMall does not guarantee authenticity), but it is still ungraded. |
Buy the ¥31,000 slab for gem mint. The ¥16,800 PSA 9 is the lower-cost slabbed option. For a binder copy or a submission candidate, pick a raw from the search tile and add Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity)[1] (+¥1,700) if the seller has enabled it.
How to order Blastoise ex SAR 202/165 from a Japanese seller
Whichever grade you choose, the purchase from Japan runs the same. Step by step:
- Step 1 — Read the seller’s title and photos. Japanese titles carry the grade (PSA10), the number (202/165) and often the set code; the photos show the cert number on the label.
- Step 2 — Add to cart on OneMall. No Japanese phone number or address needed — the proxy is the buyer of record on Mercari, and Mercari’s own help pages describe this partner-purchase route[3].
- Step 3 — Choose extras. Mercari official authentication (+¥1,700) (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity)[1][2] on eligible raw cards, or OneMall’s unboxing photos for a slab.
- Step 4 — First payment. Item price plus a service fee of ¥300 per item on most marketplaces (from ¥200 per item on Yahoo Auctions and LinkBuy).
- Step 5 — Second payment and delivery. Once the card is in the warehouse you pick the carrier — ECMS, DHL or Japan Post EMS (DDP) to the US — and free storage runs 90 days after arrival (30 days after consolidation; the first six orders consolidate free) so you can combine it with other finds.

Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) applies only where the seller has enabled it.

It can be: on 2026-11-03 a 9 lists at ¥16,800 and a 10 from ¥31,000, and in the 2026-09-29 sweep an unused raw was ¥12,000. Check today’s raw price on the search tile and add grading fees and two-way shipping before you decide; no grade is guaranteed.
Which set is Blastoise ex SAR 202/165 from?
Pokémon Card 151 (sv2a), the Japanese set covering the original 151 Pokémon; 202/165 is Blastoise ex’s special-art-rare number.
What is the PSA 10 population for Blastoise ex 202/165?
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: 23 PSA 10 slabs, 3 PSA 9 slabs and 16 raw copies of Blastoise ex 202/165 in stock on 2026-09-29 — the ratio of slabs to raws is the practical read on how heavily the card has been graded.
