How to read the table: prices are what each seller asked for that Charizard ex 201/165 copy on 2026-11-05, 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].
For reference, the 2026-09-28 sweep had the Yahoo! Flea Market slab floor at ¥79,999 plus ¥88,000, ¥89,900 and ¥101,500 copies, with a Mercari card-shop listing at ¥81,450 second — a ¥21,501 spread across five. PSA 9s were ¥56,000 and ¥64,000 on Mercari, and raw copies were ¥38,000 (slight wear), ¥39,900 (damage note) and ¥40,000 (no obvious damage). Those September copies have since sold or been repriced; the table above is the 2026-11-05 read.

These prices are for the Japanese print of Charizard ex — 201/165 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.
Is Charizard ex PSA 10 worth 1.92× the raw card?
On 2026-11-05 the cheapest PSA 10 is 1.92× the cheapest raw, a ¥43,300 gap, and the PSA 9 is 71% of the 10: the market asks ¥17,000 more for a PSA 9 slab than for the raw and ¥26,300 more for the gem-mint label over a 9. At those asks, a self-submission on the ¥47,000 raw would be worth ¥17,000 more as a 9 and ¥43,300 more as a 10, before grading fees and shipping — a fair bet on a card with forty-two 10s in stock in the 2026-09-28 sweep, though PSA’s GEM MT 10 standard[6] on this textured art is not a formality. The ¥90,300 finished slab is the certain route.
| Route | Cost on 2026-11-05 (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥90,300 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥47,000 | Cheapest way to own the artwork; condition is whatever the photos show. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy with Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) | ¥48,700 | ¥47,000 + ¥1,700 authentication fee[1], only where the listing offers it; Mercari official issues its conclusion before the card ships (OneMall does not guarantee authenticity), but it is still ungraded. |
Buy the ¥90,300 slab with unboxing photos and DHL. The ¥64,000 PSA 9 is the sealed alternative at 71% of the 10 (¥65,700 all-in where the listing offers Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity)[1]). The ¥47,000 raw (¥48,700 with authentication where offered) is the submission candidate.
How to buy Charizard ex SAR 201/165 from Japan
A slab at this price earns the photo service, DHL, and a check of the cert number before the second payment. Here is the sequence.
- Step 1 — Search by collector number. On OneMall, searching “201/165 PSA10” in the Mercari tab surfaces slabs the English name never would — most Japanese sellers title the card in katakana.
- Step 2 — Compare against today’s floor. The floor on 2026-11-05 is ¥90,300 for a PSA 10 and ¥47,000 raw; treat those as your anchors when a new listing appears.
- Step 3 — Buy it. One click adds the item; the order is placed on Mercari on your behalf and received at the Japan warehouse.
- Step 4 — Authentication or inspection. Mercari official authentication (+¥1,700) (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) is available on listings that show it[1][2]; the proxy’s own inspection and photo service covers the rest.
- Step 5 — Ship when you are ready. Free storage runs 90 days after arrival (30 days after consolidation), so several cards from different sellers can leave as one consolidated parcel.
