The figures are listed prices, not sold prices: each current figure was read from the live item page for that Vaporeon ex copy on 2026-11-03 (PSA 10 figures are from the dated 2026-09-29 sweep), 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].
On 2026-09-29 the two ¥12,800 slabs were from the same Mercari card-shop account, listed with serial numbers; the next three — one Mercari, two Yahoo! Flea Market — were all ¥13,000. Raws then were ¥5,999 with a damage note and two unused copies at ¥6,000. On 2026-11-03 the raw copies in the listings below are ¥4,000 (Yahoo! Flea Market, “Minor damage and stains”) and ¥5,000 (Mercari, “No obvious damage or stains”); only the ¥5,000 Mercari copy offers Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity)[1].

Scope: Japanese Vaporeon ex 205/187 (Terastal Festival 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.
Vaporeon ex PSA 10 value: is the slab worth the premium over a raw copy?
On the 2026-09-29 numbers the slab was 2.13× the raw, a ¥6,801 gap (¥12,800 against ¥5,999), with no PSA 9 in stock as a reference for a miss. With the raw near half the slab price, self-submission looked like a weak bet: the upside was the gap minus fees, the downside an unpriced 9. PSA’s GEM MT 10 standard[6] does not change; check the current PSA 10 listings before comparing against the ¥4,000 raw linked on 2026-11-03.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥12,800 on 2026-09-29 (no PSA 10 linked on 2026-11-03) | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥4,000 | Cheapest way to own the artwork; condition is whatever the photos show. |
| Buy the Mercari raw copy with Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) | ¥6,700 | The ¥5,000 Mercari raw + ¥1,700 authentication fee (the cheaper ¥4,000 Yahoo! Flea Market copy cannot use this service)[1]; Mercari official issues its conclusion before the card ships (OneMall does not guarantee authenticity), but it is still ungraded. |
For the grade, check the current PSA 10 listings first — on 2026-09-29 the floor was ¥12,800, and none is linked on this page on 2026-11-03. For the binder, the ¥5,000 raw with Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity)[1] is ¥6,700 all-in; the ¥4,000 Yahoo! Flea Market copy notes “Minor damage and stains” and has no authentication option (Yahoo! Flea Market listings are not eligible).
How to buy Vaporeon ex SAR 205/187 from Japan
Whether you order the card-shop slab or a private raw, the process from Japan is the same. The steps:
- Step 1 — Pick the copy, not the average. Use the table above: on 2026-09-29 the cheapest in-stock PSA 10 was ¥12,800, and the raw copies re-checked on 2026-11-03 start at ¥4,000; compare any new listing against those dated anchors.
- Step 2 — Order through OneMall. Click the tile, add to cart, and a Japan-side team places the Mercari or Yahoo! Flea Market 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, look up the cert number on the slab label instead.
- 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.
