The figures are listed prices, not sold prices: each was read from the live item page for that Venusaur ex copy on 2026-11-04, 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 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 ¥27,000 Mercari slab (“Nearly unused”) leads, ¥5,500 under the ¥32,500 Mercari slab; the cheaper one has Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) enabled, which a PSA holder makes largely unnecessary. Raw copies are where condition and seller type decide price: ¥7,777 on Mercari with “No obvious damage or stains”, authentication-eligible for +¥1,700, and Suruga-ya’s shop copy at ¥16,800. The ¥42,500 PSA 10 and ¥11,099 raw Mercari listings from the 2026-10-30 check have sold.

Scope: Japanese Venusaur ex 200/165 (Pokémon Card 151). 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 Venusaur ex PSA 10 worth 3.47× the raw card?
Measured against the ¥7,777 Mercari raw (“No obvious damage or stains”), the ¥27,000 slab is 3.47×, and the ¥19,223 gap is a demand premium on a 151 starter SAR. No PSA 9 in stock means there is no reference for a miss on PSA’s GEM MT 10 standard[6], and a self-submission on the ¥7,777 raw is a bet without a published floor. Buying the ¥27,000 finished slab is the route with the fewest unknowns.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥27,000 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥7,777 | Cheapest way to own the artwork; condition is whatever the photos show. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy with Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) | ¥9,477 | ¥7,777 + ¥1,700 authentication fee[1]; the card is checked for authenticity before it ships, but it is still ungraded. |
Buy the ¥27,000 slab with unboxing photos. For the binder, the ¥7,777 Mercari raw with Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity)[1] (¥9,477 all-in).
Getting a Venusaur ex SAR 200/165 shipped from Japan
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 ¥19,223 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 official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) 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 items are stored free for 90 days after arrival (30 days after consolidation), which is how collectors turn five Mercari sellers into one DHL box.
