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.
For the whole market rather than one card: live PSA 10 prices for 80 Japanese cards. Same set, different card: Team Rocket’s Mimikyu AR 205/193 PSA 10 price.
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 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. |
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 official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity)[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 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 that ¥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 or DHL to the US — and can hold it up to 90 days (30 days after consolidation) to combine with other finds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a PSA 10 Cynthia’s Spiritomb AR cost?
In-stock listings on 2026-09-29 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 official authentication (+¥1,700, buyer pays) (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) returns Mercari’s conclusion 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 2026-09-29 — the ratio of slabs to raws is the practical read on how heavily the card has been graded.
