The figures are listed prices, not sold prices: each was read from the live item page for that Venusaur ex copy on 2026-09-20, 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].
The ¥26,666 Mercari slab leads; two ¥28,900 copies follow — one Yahoo! Flea Market, one Mercari with authentication and an identical title, likely the same seller on both platforms — then ¥29,999 on Yahoo! Flea Market, and a ¥54,999 Mercari listing that ignores the other four. Raw copies are where condition decides price: ¥8,444 with a damage note, ¥9,999 with no obvious damage, both authentication-eligible, and Suruga-ya’s shop copy at ¥19,800. Eighteen raws against fifteen 10s is a balanced market.

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 3.16× the raw card?
Measured against the clean ¥9,999 raw, the ¥26,666 slab is 2.7×; against the damaged ¥8,444 copy it is 3.2×. Either way the ¥18,222 gap is a demand premium on a 151 starter SAR whose gem-mint supply is thin. 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 ¥9,999 clean raw is a bet without a published floor. Buying the ¥26,666 finished slab is the certain route; with fifteen in stock it is not going to get cheaper by waiting.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥26,666 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥8,444 | Cheapest way to own the artwork; condition is whatever the photos show. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy with Mercari authentication | ¥10,144 | ¥8,444 + ¥1,700 authentication fee[1]; the card is checked for authenticity before it ships, but it is still ungraded. |
Buy the ¥26,666 slab with unboxing photos; the ¥28,900 Mercari copy adds authentication on the transaction. For the binder, the ¥9,999 clean raw with Mercari authentication[1] (¥11,699 all-in). Ignore the ¥54,999 slab.
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 ¥18,222 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 authentication 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 the parcel waits up to 90 days, which is how collectors turn five Mercari sellers into one DHL box.
