The figures are listed prices, not sold prices: each was read from the live item page for that N’s Zoroark ex copy on 2026-11-03, 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].
In the listings re-checked on 2026-11-03, the PSA 10 slab is a Mercari copy at ¥25,000 (US$172.50), condition “Unused”, with Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) available. Raw copies are all pre-owned Mercari listings — ¥5,382, ¥5,999 and ¥6,174 (a Mercari Shops store) — and none of the three raws has authentication enabled. For history, the 2026-09-29 sweep had a ¥11,549 Mercari slab in front of Yahoo! Flea Market and Mercari copies at ¥13,000–¥14,000; those are no longer the listings shown here. 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 4.65× the raw card?
A 4.65× multiple with a ¥19,618 gap (¥25,000 slab vs ¥5,382 raw, re-checked 2026-11-03) is a steep premium next to the 2.2× (¥11,549 vs ¥5,222) recorded in the 2026-09-29 sweep. With no PSA 9 in stock there is no reference for what a miss would be worth, and none of the three raws offers an authentication option, so a raw purchase rests on the seller’s photos. The ¥25,000 slab does offer Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) on top of its PSA grade. PSA’s GEM MT 10 bar[6] is unchanged; at this gap the raw copy is the value buy and the slab is the version with the fewest unknowns.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥25,000 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥5,382 | 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 (¥5,382, re-checked 2026-11-03) does not offer it and neither does any other raw tile; only the ¥25,000 PSA 10 slab does. |
For a graded copy, the ¥25,000 slab is the one PSA 10 in the listings re-checked on 2026-11-03. For the binder, the ¥5,382 pre-owned raw is the pick — Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity)[1] is not offered on any of the three raws, so judge from the seller’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 on 2026-11-03 is ¥25,000; 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 official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity). Raw copies that show the authentication option can be checked for +¥1,700[1][2]; for a PSA slab the grade is already on the label.
- 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 (30 days after consolidation) window and pay one shipping fee.
