TL;DR
Team Rocket’s Meowth AR (109/098) costs ¥9,500 to ¥13,000 in a PSA 10 slab across the live listings checked on 2026-11-02, with no PSA 9 among them and the cheapest raw copy at ¥1,380 (re-checked 2026-11-05). The cheapest slab is 6.9× the cheapest raw. It is the priciest of the Team Rocket art rares — Meowth is the set’s mascot, and the raw price shows it.
- Cheapest PSA 10: ¥9,500 (US$65.55) on Yahoo! Flea Market, condition “Unused”, PSA cert 153826686 (live listing, checked 2026-11-02).
- Cheapest raw copy: ¥1,380 (US$9.52) from Suruga-ya, pre-owned shop stock.
- The next PSA 10 is ¥13,000 (US$89.70) on Mercari, ¥3,500 above the cheapest; no PSA 9 is among the live listings tracked here.
- Neither PSA 10 listed here offers Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity) — for a sealed holder, the PSA label is the grade record.

A note on sourcing: the Team Rocket’s Meowth 109/098 prices above are the asking prices on each item page as of 2026-11-02, 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 ¥9,500 Yahoo! Flea Market slab is ¥3,500 under the ¥13,000 Mercari copy, so the cheapest tile is where the value sits today. The raw floor is Suruga-ya’s ¥1,380 shop copy. In the September 2026 sweep, Wobbuffet from the same set sat at ¥300 raw: Meowth’s illustration carries the Team Rocket branding front and center, and collectors pay for it ungraded.

Everything on this page refers to the Japanese-language Team Rocket’s Meowth, collector number 109/098 in The Glory of Team Rocket. 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 Team Rocket’s Meowth PSA 10 worth 6.9× the raw card?
A 6.9× multiple with a ¥8,120 gap sits in the middle of this set’s board — in the September 2026 sweep, Houndoom ran 4.5× and Wobbuffet 18×. What sets the multiple is the raw price, not the slab — grading costs the same whether the card is worth ¥300 or ¥1,380. The absence of any PSA 9 is the risk to note: a self-submission that misses the GEM MT 10 standard[6] leaves you with a grade no seller is quoting, so the ¥9,500 finished slab is the sane way to own the top grade.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥9,500 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥1,380 | Cheapest way to own the artwork; condition is whatever the photos show. |
The ¥9,500 Yahoo! Flea Market slab is the buy for the grade, ¥3,500 under the next PSA 10. For the art, the ¥1,380 Suruga-ya copy is the cheapest raw in the listings tracked here. None of the three listings offers Mercari official authentication (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity)[1], so add unboxing photos if you want to check condition before international shipping.
How to buy Team Rocket’s Meowth AR 109/098 from Japan
The cheapest slab is a Yahoo! Flea Market listing; the purchase through a proxy is the same as for Mercari. Step by step:
- Step 1 — Pick the copy, not the average. Use the table above: the cheapest in-stock PSA 10 on 2026-11-02 is ¥9,500; 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 Yahoo! Flea Market, Mercari or Suruga-ya 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 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 (30 days after consolidation) window and pay one shipping fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a PSA 10 Team Rocket’s Meowth AR sell for?
Live Japanese listings checked on 2026-11-02 ask ¥9,500 (Yahoo! Flea Market) and ¥13,000 (Mercari) for a PSA 10 (about US$66–90 before shipping); in the 2026-09-29 sweep the range was ¥7,000 to ¥8,480.
Why is Meowth’s raw price higher than other Team Rocket art rares?
Meowth is the set’s mascot and the illustration carries the Team Rocket branding, so the raw card held ¥1,111–¥1,980 in the September 2026 sweep, where Wobbuffet from the same set sat at ¥300; the cheapest raw on 2026-11-05 is ¥1,380.
Are there PSA 9 copies?
None among the live listings tracked here on 2026-11-02, and none in the September 2026 sweep, which counted thirty-six PSA 10 slabs and no 9s. The graded market for this card is gem mint only.
Which raw copy should I choose?
The cheapest raw copy tracked on 2026-11-05 is Suruga-ya’s ¥1,380 pre-owned shop copy. Suruga-ya rows carry no seller condition note, so add unboxing photos (¥500–700) if you want to see the card before it ships.
How many PSA 10 Team Rocket’s Meowth 109/098 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: 36 PSA 10 slabs in stock across Mercari, Yahoo! Flea Market and Suruga-ya, against 0 PSA 9 and 22 raw copies. A card with far more slabs than raws in stock has been graded heavily.
