A note on sourcing: the Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex 243/193 prices above are the asking prices on each item page as of 2026-09-20, and USD is the conversion the page displayed at checkout. All copies are the Japanese print of the Pokémon TCG[5]. Condition notes come from the seller’s own Mercari / Yahoo! Flea Market condition field (translated); Suruga-ya rows are shop stock and carry none. Listing titles are in Japanese — the tiles below link to each copy. Mercari supports overseas buyers via partner proxy services[3].
Yahoo! Flea Market owns the slab column: ¥7,699, ¥7,900, ¥8,498, ¥8,500 and ¥9,500, all unused, none with an authentication option because none is a Mercari listing. The PSA 9s at ¥5,999 and ¥6,480 are Mercari, both authentication-eligible, both priced within ¥1,700 of the cheapest 10 — a thin discount. Raw copies are the weak spot: the ¥2,999 copy is noted with damage and asks buyers to read the description, and the ¥3,000 and ¥3,111 copies carry slight-wear notes. Forty-seven raws are in stock, so cleaner copies exist further up the price list.

Everything on this page refers to the Japanese-language Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex, collector number 243/193 in MEGA Dream ex high-class pack. An English print of the same artwork is a different card with its own number, set name and market[5], as are promo versions and full-art variants from other sets. Match the number on the slab label before you compare any price.
Is Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex PSA 10 worth 2.57× the raw card?
A 2.6× multiple with a ¥4,700 gap is a modest premium, and the reason is the raw price: Marnie’s Grimmsnarl holds ¥3,000 ungraded because the Marnie-themed art sells regardless of condition. The PSA 9 at ¥5,999 is the problem grade — ¥1,700 under the 10 is not enough discount to prefer it, and it is ¥3,000 over raw for a holder that says “not quite”. PSA’s grading scale[6] separates 9 and 10 on small flaws; here the market barely separates them on price. If you want a slab, pay the ¥7,699 for the 10.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥7,699 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥2,999 | 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. |
The ¥7,699 slab is the buy for the grade. For the binder, look past the three cheapest raws to a copy without a wear note, or take the ¥3,000 copy with Mercari authentication[1] (¥4,700 all-in) if the seller’s photos satisfy you. Skip the PSA 9s at today’s prices.
Getting a Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex SAR 243/193 shipped from Japan
All five cheapest slabs are Yahoo! Flea Market listings; a proxy buys them exactly like Mercari ones. The steps:
- Step 1 — Open the listing on OneMall. Every tile below links straight to the OneMall item page for that exact copy, so you skip the Japanese-only Mercari app entirely.
- Step 2 — Check the slab label in the photos. Read the collector number on the PSA label before you pay; the same Pokémon often exists at several numbers in the same set.
- Step 3 — Add authentication if the seller offers it. For raw cards on Mercari, tick Mercari authentication at checkout (+¥1,700)[1][2]; the card is inspected before it leaves Japan.
- Step 4 — Pay the first invoice. Item price plus the service fee (as low as ¥200 per order) — international shipping is a separate second payment once the card is weighed at the warehouse.
- Step 5 — Consolidate and ship. Cards sit in free storage for 90 days, the first six orders consolidate free, and one padded parcel to the US goes out by ECMS or DHL.
