A note on sourcing: the Zapdos ex 204/165 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].
The ¥27,500 Mercari slab — unused, authentication available — leads; Yahoo! Flea Market follows at ¥28,400, ¥29,900 and ¥30,000, and a Mercari copy at ¥44,999 stands apart. Raw copies are ¥9,000 from a card shop with a damage note, ¥10,000 nearly unused with authentication, and ¥10,260 nearly unused from another shop. Nineteen raws against twenty-seven slabs is a market where most clean pulls have been graded but supply is still adequate on both sides.

Everything on this page refers to the Japanese-language Zapdos ex, collector number 204/165 in Pokémon Card 151. 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 Zapdos ex PSA 10 worth 3.06× the raw card?
A 3.1× multiple against the damaged raw, 2.75× against the clean ¥10,000 copy, and an ¥18,500 gap: this is a demand premium on a 151 chase-adjacent card. No PSA 9 in stock means there is no reference for a miss on PSA’s GEM MT 10 standard[6], so a self-submission on the ¥10,000 clean raw is a bet without a published floor. Buying the ¥27,500 finished slab is the certain route, and it is the copy with the authentication option.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥27,500 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥9,000 | 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 today does not offer it, so compare the next ones in the table above. |
Buy the ¥27,500 slab with unboxing photos. For the binder, the ¥10,000 nearly-unused raw with Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity)[1] (¥11,700 all-in). Ignore the ¥44,999 slab.
Getting a Zapdos ex SAR 204/165 shipped from Japan
The purchase runs the same for the slab or the raw. Step by step:
- Step 1 — Search by collector number. On OneMall, searching “204/165 PSA10” in the Mercari tab surfaces slabs the English name never would — most Japanese sellers title the card in katakana.
- Step 2 — Compare against today’s floor. Today’s floor is ¥27,500 for a PSA 10 and ¥9,000 raw; treat those as your anchors when a new listing appears.
- Step 3 — Buy it. One click adds the item; the order is placed on Mercari on your behalf and received at the Japan warehouse.
- Step 4 — Authentication or inspection. Mercari official authentication (+¥1,700) (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) is available on listings that show it[1][2]; the proxy’s own inspection and photo service covers the rest.
- Step 5 — Ship when you are ready. Free storage runs 90 days after arrival (30 days after consolidation), so several cards from different sellers can leave as one consolidated parcel.
