Prices were read from each Erika’s Invitation 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].
Mercari has the slab floor at ¥19,999 with authentication, ¥21,570 from a card shop, and ¥23,000 with authentication and a slight-wear note on the holder; Yahoo! Flea Market has ¥22,000. PSA 9s are ¥7,999 and ¥8,499, both with authentication.

All of the above is the Japanese-language Erika’s Invitation — number 206/165 in Pokémon Card 151. 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.
Erika’s Invitation PSA 10 value: is the slab worth 4.0× a raw copy?
A 4.0× multiple, or a ¥14,999 gap, with the PSA 9 at 40% of the 10: the market pays ¥12,000 for the gem-mint label over a 9 and only ¥2,999 for the 9 over a clean raw. That is a card that grades 10 rarely — Erika’s Invitation is a 2023 SAR whose textured full-art surface shows every scratch under PSA’s GEM MT 10 standard[6]. A self-submission on the ¥6,000 unused raw most likely returns a ¥7,999 card. Buy the ¥19,999 slab if you want the 10; buy the ¥7,999 PSA 9 if you want a certified copy at the raw-plus-a-little price.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥19,999 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥5,000 | Cheapest way to own the artwork; condition is whatever the photos show. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy with Mercari authentication | ¥6,700 | ¥5,000 + ¥1,700 authentication fee[1]; the card is checked for authenticity before it ships, but it is still ungraded. |
Buy the ¥19,999 slab with Mercari authentication[1] (¥21,699 all-in) for gem mint. The ¥7,999 PSA 9 is the value buy. The ¥5,000 clean raw with authentication (¥6,700 all-in) is for the binder.
How to order Erika’s Invitation SAR 206/165 from a Japanese seller
A slab at this price earns the photo service. Here is the sequence.
- Step 1 — Decide slab or raw. The cost table above puts the gap at ¥14,999 between the cheapest raw copy and the cheapest PSA 10 today; decide which side of that line you are on before you browse.
- Step 2 — Open the OneMall listing. The tiles below are live Japanese listings; the price you see is the listed price in yen with the USD conversion applied at checkout.
- Step 3 — Tick Mercari authentication on raw cards. It costs ¥1,700 per card and the buyer pays it[1][2]; a card that fails is returned to the seller and you are refunded.
- Step 4 — Pay, then let it land in Tokyo. Product price and service fee first; shipping is billed separately after the warehouse weighs the parcel.
- Step 5 — Consolidate. Up to six orders merge for free and the parcel waits up to 90 days, which is how collectors turn five Mercari sellers into one DHL box.

How much is a PSA 10 Erika’s Invitation SAR 206/165?
In-stock Japanese listings on 2026-09-20 price it at ¥19,999 to ¥23,000 (about US$138–159 before shipping); the cheapest is a Mercari slab with authentication available.
Is the PSA 9 Erika’s Invitation 206/165 good value?
Yes — at ¥7,999 it is 40% of the cheapest PSA 10, sealed, with Mercari authentication[1] available, and only ¥2,999 above a clean raw.
Why is the 9-to-10 gap so wide on this card?
Because the 10 is hard to get: forty-six raws in stock against twenty-six slabs, and a textured surface that shows wear. Buyers pay ¥12,000 for the certainty.
Which set is Erika’s Invitation SAR from?
Pokémon Card 151 (sv2a); 206/165 is its special-art-rare number above the set’s 165-card base.
Is there a PSA population report for Erika’s Invitation SAR 206/165?
Yes — PSA’s Population Report[6] lists the census for every graded card, including this one, and it is the number to check before you buy for scarcity. It is not reproduced here because it changes constantly. The in-stock picture on 2026-09-20 — 26 PSA 10, 4 PSA 9, 46 raw copies — is the market-side supply figure this page can stand behind.
