TL;DR
Cynthia’s Spiritomb AR (208/193) from MEGA Dream ex sells for ¥4,500 to ¥5,800 in a PSA 10 slab today, PSA 9 copies go for ¥2,888–¥3,499, and raw copies start at ¥300. The cheapest slab is 15× raw, but the PSA 9 at ¥2,888 is the sensible middle option on this card.
- Cheapest PSA 10: ¥4,500 (US$31.05) on Mercari, described as unused, authentication available.
- PSA 9 copies at ¥2,888 and ¥3,499 — a real discount, unlike most cards on this board.
- Raw copies: ¥300 (Mercari), ¥333 with authentication, ¥380 from Suruga-ya.
- Twenty-seven PSA 10 slabs in stock; the ¥5,800 top listing is not the market.
As of September 2026, the MEGA Dream ex art rares are the cheapest graded cards in the MEGA era, and Cynthia’s Spiritomb is the one where a PSA 9 actually costs less than a 10 by a sensible margin.
Here is a same-day read of Cynthia’s Spiritomb AR 208/193 across PSA 10, PSA 9 and raw listings on Japanese marketplaces, what the gaps mean, and the buying steps from Japan to your door.

Prices were read from each Cynthia’s Spiritomb item page on 2026-09-20 — the seller’s listed price, with USD as the checkout conversion shown on the same page. Every row is a Japanese-language print of the Pokémon TCG[5]; the condition column is the seller’s Mercari / Yahoo! Flea Market condition field, translated, while Suruga-ya’s shop stock has no condition field. Seller titles are Japanese, and the tiles further down open each listing directly. Mercari permits purchases from overseas through partner proxy services[3].
The PSA 10 floor is ¥4,500 on Mercari — a one-owner submission, according to the seller, shipped in the PSA holder — followed by three Yahoo! Flea Market slabs at ¥4,800 to ¥4,900 and a Mercari copy at ¥5,800 that throws in a holder sleeve. The PSA 9 pair is where this card gets interesting: ¥2,888 and ¥3,499, both with authentication enabled, both described as unused. That is 64% and 78% of the cheapest 10, a discount most low-value art rares never show because sellers rarely bother slabbing a 9. Raw copies are ¥300, ¥333 and ¥380 — pack-pull money.

All of the above is the Japanese-language Cynthia’s Spiritomb — number 208/193 in MEGA Dream ex high-class pack. The English-language print of the same illustration carries a different collector number and set name, trades in a separate market, and is not covered by these prices[5]. Promo versions and full-art variants from other sets are different cards again: match the number on the slab label before you compare a price.
PSA 10 vs raw Cynthia’s Spiritomb: what a 15.0× premium buys
Fifteen times raw for the PSA 10 is the usual grading-cost multiple on a ¥300 card, and the ¥4,200 gap is close to what submitting it yourself would run with the risk of a 9 included. What is unusual is that the 9 has a price here. At ¥2,888 a PSA 9 Spiritomb gives you a sealed, cert-numbered card for ¥1,612 less than gem mint. PSA’s grading scale[6] puts a 9 at mint with a minor flaw — for a binder card of a Cynthia-themed art rare, that is a distinction most owners will never notice. If you are building a graded MEGA Dream ex set on a budget, the 9s on this card are where the saving is.

| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥4,500 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥300 | Cheapest way to own the artwork; condition is whatever the photos show. |
| Buy a raw copy that offers Mercari authentication | 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. |
Three sensible routes: ¥4,500 for the 10 if you want the top grade, ¥2,888 for the 9 if you want a slab without paying for perfection, or ¥300 raw — ¥2,000 with Mercari authentication[1] — if the artwork is the point. The ¥5,800 slab with the sleeve is paying ¥1,300 for a sleeve.
Getting a Cynthia’s Spiritomb AR 208/193 shipped from Japan
Whichever grade you pick, the route out of Japan is the same. Step by step:
- Step 1 — Read the seller’s title and photos. Japanese titles carry the grade (PSA10), the number (208/193) 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 authentication (+¥1,700)[1][2] on eligible raw cards, or OneMall’s unboxing photos for a slab.
- Step 4 — First payment. Item price plus a service fee that starts at ¥200 per order.
- Step 5 — Second payment and delivery. Once the card is in the warehouse you pick the carrier — ECMS or DHL to the US — and can hold it up to 90 days to combine with other finds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a PSA 10 Cynthia’s Spiritomb AR cost?
In-stock listings on 2026-09-20 run ¥4,500 to ¥5,800 (US$31–40) for a PSA 10; the ¥4,500 Mercari copy is a one-owner submission per the seller.
Is the PSA 9 a good alternative?
Yes on this card. At ¥2,888 the PSA 9 is 64% of the cheapest PSA 10, which is a real discount; on many art rares the 9 is priced within a few hundred yen of the 10.
What set is 208/193 from?
The MEGA Dream ex high-class pack (M2a); the 208/193 number places it in the set’s art-rare secret range above the 193-card base.
Does a raw copy come with any guarantee?
Only what the seller states. Mercari’s authentication option (+¥1,700, buyer pays) checks that the card is genuine before it ships[1]; it does not grade condition.
What is the PSA 10 population for Cynthia’s Spiritomb 208/193?
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: 27 PSA 10 slabs, 2 PSA 9 slabs and 29 raw copies of Cynthia’s Spiritomb 208/193 in stock on 2026-09-20 — the ratio of slabs to raws is the practical read on how heavily the card has been graded.
