- Raw copies: ¥5,222 with slight wear, ¥5,980 and ¥5,999 clean — all Mercari card-shop listings.
- Raw floor above ¥5,000 — the N-themed art carries real ungraded demand.

The figures are listed prices, not sold prices: each was read from the live item page for that N’s Zoroark ex copy on 2026-09-20, with USD as the item page’s own checkout conversion. Everything shown is the Japanese-language print of the Pokémon TCG[5]. Condition is the seller’s Mercari / Yahoo! Flea Market condition field, translated; Suruga-ya is shop stock with no condition field. Seller titles are Japanese, and the tiles further down open each listing. Mercari allows overseas purchases only through partner proxy services[3].
The ¥11,549 Mercari slab, nearly unused, leads by ¥1,451; behind it Yahoo! Flea Market at ¥13,000, Mercari at ¥13,225, and Yahoo! Flea Market again at ¥13,500 and ¥14,000. Raw copies are all Mercari shop listings — ¥5,222 with slight wear, ¥5,980 and ¥5,999 clean — and none of them, nor any of the slabs, has Mercari authentication enabled; shop accounts on Mercari often leave it off. N’s Zoroark is the N-trainer card from the pack, and like the other trainer-partner cards its raw price is held up by the character tie-in.

Scope: Japanese N’s Zoroark ex 242/193 (MEGA Dream ex high-class pack). The English-language print of this illustration has a different collector number and set name and is priced in a separate market, so the figures here do not transfer[5]. Promo copies and full-art variants from other sets are likewise different cards — the number on the PSA label is what to match.
Is N’s Zoroark ex PSA 10 worth 2.21× the raw card?
A 2.2× multiple with a ¥6,327 gap is a small premium in percentage terms and a normal one in yen: the raw card is already worth ¥5,222, so the grade adds a fixed amount rather than a multiple. With no PSA 9 in stock there is no reference for what a miss would be worth, and no authentication option on any listing to add a genuineness check to a raw purchase — which tilts the decision toward the ¥11,549 slab, where the PSA label does that job. PSA’s GEM MT 10 bar[6] is unchanged; the slab is simply the version with the fewest unknowns here.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥11,549 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥5,222 | 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. |
Buy the ¥11,549 slab; the next copy is ¥13,000. For the binder, the ¥5,980 clean raw is the pick — Mercari authentication[1] is not offered on any of today’s raws, so judge from the shop’s photos.
Buying a N’s Zoroark ex SAR 242/193 from Japan: step by step
Ordering from Mercari shop accounts is the same as from private sellers; here are the steps for this card.
- Step 1 — Pick the copy, not the average. Use the table above: the cheapest in-stock PSA 10 today is ¥11,549; anything above the range there is paying for a seller’s optimism.
- Step 2 — Order through OneMall. Click the tile, add to cart, and a Japan-side team places the Mercari order for you — sellers who write 海外発送不可 (no overseas shipping) still ship because the address is a Tokyo warehouse.
- Step 3 — Optional Mercari authentication. Raw copies that show the authentication option can be checked for +¥1,700[1][2]; for a PSA slab the label already does that job.
- Step 4 — First payment, then wait for arrival photos. Ask for unboxing photos if you want to see the slab corners before it flies.
- Step 5 — Second payment for international shipping. A single slab is light; batch it with other cards inside the 90-day free storage window and pay one shipping fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a PSA 10 N’s Zoroark ex SAR 242/193?
In-stock Japanese listings on 2026-09-20 price it at ¥11,549 to ¥14,000 (about US$80–97 before shipping); the cheapest copy is ¥1,451 under the next.
Why does no listing offer Mercari authentication?
All of today’s raws and the Mercari slabs are shop or shop-style accounts that have not enabled the option, and Yahoo! Flea Market listings cannot offer it. A PSA holder makes it unnecessary for the slabs.
Is a PSA 9 N’s Zoroark ex 242/193 for sale right now?
Not in today’s sweep — twenty-four PSA 10 slabs and no 9s.
Which set is N’s Zoroark ex SAR from?
The MEGA Dream ex high-class pack (M2a); 242/193 is its special-art-rare number above the 193-card base.
How many PSA 10 N’s Zoroark ex 242/193 exist?
The authoritative count is PSA’s own Population Report[6], which updates as submissions clear; this page deliberately does not copy a number that will drift. The live-supply proxy on 2026-09-20: 24 PSA 10 slabs in stock across Mercari, Yahoo! Flea Market and Suruga-ya, against 0 PSA 9 and 30 raw copies. A card with far more slabs than raws in stock has been graded heavily.
