The figures are listed prices, not sold prices: each was read from the live item page for that Mega Lucario 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].
Mercari has the slab floor at ¥15,500 with authentication; Yahoo! Flea Market follows at ¥15,777, ¥16,000 and ¥17,500; Mercari again at ¥18,000 with authentication. A ¥2,500 spread across thirty-two slabs is moderate. Raw copies are ¥5,000 unused and ¥5,200 clean, both Mercari with authentication available, and ¥12,800 for Suruga-ya’s shop copy — a ¥7,800 gap between private and shop pricing that says the private sellers are cheap, not that Suruga-ya is dear.

Scope: Japanese Mega Lucario ex 088/063 (Mega Brave). 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.
PSA 10 vs raw Mega Lucario ex: what a 3.1× premium buys
A 3.1× multiple, or a ¥10,500 gap, is a real premium — but measured against Suruga-ya’s ¥12,800 clean raw the slab is only 1.2×. With no PSA 9 in stock there is no floor for a self-submission that misses PSA’s GEM MT 10 standard[6]; thirty-two 10s and zero 9s suggests either a high 10 rate or sellers sitting on their 9s. A ¥5,000 unused raw is cheap enough that the submission bet costs little if it misses.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥15,500 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥5,000 | Cheapest way to own the artwork; condition is whatever the photos show. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy with Mercari authentication | ¥6,700 | ¥5,000 + ¥1,700 authentication fee[1]; the card is checked for authenticity before it ships, but it is still ungraded. |
Buy the ¥15,500 slab for gem mint — it also carries the authentication option. Buy the ¥5,000 unused raw with Mercari authentication[1] (¥6,700 all-in) for the binder or a submission; it is ¥6,100 under Suruga-ya even with the fee.
How to buy Mega Lucario ex SAR 088/063 from Japan
The purchase runs the same for the slab or a raw. Step by step:
- Step 1 — Pick the copy, not the average. Use the table above: the cheapest in-stock PSA 10 today is ¥15,500; 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 Mercari 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 authentication. 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 window and pay one shipping fee.

What is the PSA 10 population for Mega Lucario ex 088/063?
