TL;DR
Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex SAR (125/098) is the chase card of The Glory of Team Rocket, and the PSA 10 market shows it: ¥85,000 to ¥128,490 today across five in-stock slabs, a sane PSA 9 at ¥23,100 next to an absurd one at ¥112,222, and raw copies at ¥38,000–¥41,000. The cheapest slab is 2.2× the cheapest raw.
- Cheapest PSA 10: ¥85,000 (US$586.50) on Mercari, unused, authentication available; then ¥89,999, ¥98,000, ¥100,000.
- PSA 9 at ¥23,100 is 27% of the cheapest 10 — the steepest 9-to-10 discount on this board.
- Raw copies: ¥38,000 and ¥41,000 with slight wear, ¥40,000 clean — all Mercari.
- Twenty-nine PSA 10 slabs in stock; the ¥128,490 top listing is 51% over the floor.
As of September 2026, Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex is the card people mean when they say “the Team Rocket chase”, and the numbers separate the grades more brutally than on any other card here: a 10 costs ¥85,000, a 9 costs ¥23,100, and a raw costs ¥38,000 — more than the 9.
This page reads today’s in-stock Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex SAR 125/098 listings across PSA 10, PSA 9 and raw, explains a price stack where the raw card outprices the PSA 9, and gives the steps to buy from Japan.

How to read the table: prices are what each seller asked for that Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex 125/098 copy on 2026-09-20, and the USD column is the conversion the item page showed at checkout. These are Japanese prints of the Pokémon TCG[5]; the condition column is the seller’s own Mercari / Yahoo! Flea Market condition field, translated, and Suruga-ya’s shop stock carries no condition field. Titles on the listings are Japanese — the tiles below link straight to them. Overseas buyers reach Mercari through partner proxy services[3].
The slab ladder starts at ¥85,000 and ¥89,999 on Mercari — both authentication-eligible, both described as unused or nearly so — then ¥98,000 and ¥100,000 on Yahoo! Flea Market and ¥128,490 back on Mercari. The two PSA 9s tell you to read every listing: one at ¥23,100, one at ¥112,222, the latter priced above four of the five PSA 10s. Raw copies cluster at ¥38,000–¥41,000, two of them noted with slight wear, one clean at ¥40,000. A raw card that costs ¥14,900 more than a PSA 9 of the same card is unusual; it means buyers are paying for the chance of a 10, not for the card as it sits.

These prices are for the Japanese print of Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex — 125/098 in The Glory of Team Rocket — and nothing else. The English-language version of the same illustration sits under a different set name and collector number and trades in its own market[5]; promo and alternate-set versions are different cards again. Read the number on the slab label first, then compare.
Is Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex PSA 10 worth 2.24× the raw card?
A 2.2× multiple with a ¥47,000 gap is not a grading-cost premium — grading fees are a rounding error on a card at this price. It is the market’s price for certainty on a chase card whose raw copies are being bought as lottery tickets. The PSA 9 at ¥23,100 is the clearest signal on the page: a 9 of this card is worth barely more than a quarter of a 10, so a self-submission that misses the GEM MT 10 standard[6] turns a ¥40,000 raw into a ¥23,100 slab. That is the downside buyers of the raws are accepting. If you want the card and not the bet, the ¥85,000 slab is the only rational purchase on the board; the ¥23,100 PSA 9 is the rational purchase if you want the artwork in a sealed holder and do not need the top grade.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥85,000 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥38,000 | Cheapest way to own the artwork; condition is whatever the photos show. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy with Mercari authentication | ¥39,700 | ¥38,000 + ¥1,700 authentication fee[1]; the card is checked for authenticity before it ships, but it is still ungraded. |
Buy the ¥85,000 slab with unboxing photos at the warehouse. Buy the ¥23,100 PSA 9 if a sealed copy at a quarter of the price appeals — it is cheaper than every raw. Avoid the raws unless you are knowingly gambling; if you do, take the clean ¥40,000 copy and skip authentication, since that listing does not offer it and the ¥38,000 copy with authentication[1] (¥39,700 all-in) carries a wear note.
How to order Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex SAR 125/098 from a Japanese seller
An ¥85,000 slab warrants the photo service and the fast carrier. Here is the sequence.
- Step 1 — Search by collector number. On OneMall, searching “125/098 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 ¥85,000 for a PSA 10 and ¥38,000 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 authentication (+¥1,700) 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, so several cards from different sellers can leave as one consolidated parcel.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a PSA 10 Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex SAR 125/098?
In-stock Japanese listings on 2026-09-20 price it at ¥85,000 to ¥128,490 (about US$587–887 before shipping); the two cheapest are Mercari slabs with authentication available.
Why does a raw copy cost more than a PSA 9?
Because raw buyers are paying for the chance the card grades a 10 (¥85,000). A PSA 9 at ¥23,100 has already lost that chance, so it trades on the artwork alone.
Is the ¥112,222 PSA 9 a mistake?
It is a listing priced above four of the five PSA 10s in stock. Treat it as a seller’s anchor, not a market price; the other PSA 9 at ¥23,100 is where the grade trades.
Should I have Mercari authentication added to a raw copy?
On a ¥38,000 card, yes if the listing offers it — ¥1,700 to have the card verified before shipping is cheap insurance[1]. Two of today’s three raws have the option enabled.
How many PSA 10 Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex 125/098 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: 29 PSA 10 slabs in stock across Mercari, Yahoo! Flea Market and Suruga-ya, against 2 PSA 9 and 14 raw copies. A card with far more slabs than raws in stock has been graded heavily.
