How to read the table: prices are what each seller asked for that Charizard ex 201/165 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].
Yahoo! Flea Market has the slab floor at ¥79,999 and the ¥88,000, ¥89,900 and ¥101,500 copies; Mercari’s card-shop listing at ¥81,450 sits second. A ¥21,501 spread across five is wide — the two cheapest are the market, the rest are asks. PSA 9s are ¥56,000 and ¥64,000, both Mercari with authentication. Raw copies are ¥38,000 with slight wear, ¥39,900 with a damage note, and ¥40,000 with no obvious damage — all three with authentication available. Forty-one raws in stock.

These prices are for the Japanese print of Charizard ex — 201/165 in Pokémon Card 151 — 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 Charizard ex PSA 10 worth 2.11× the raw card?
A 2.1× multiple against the worn raw, 2.0× against the clean one, a ¥41,999 gap, and a PSA 9 at 70%: the market pays ¥16,000 for the certificate over a clean raw and ¥23,999 for the gem-mint label over a 9. A self-submission on the ¥40,000 clean copy gains ¥16,000 as a 9 and ¥39,999 as a 10 — a fair bet on a card with forty-two 10s in stock, though PSA’s GEM MT 10 standard[6] on this textured art is not a formality. The ¥79,999 finished slab is the certain route.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥79,999 | 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 ¥79,999 slab with unboxing photos and DHL. The ¥56,000 PSA 9 with Mercari authentication[1] (¥57,700 all-in) is the sealed alternative. The ¥40,000 clean raw with authentication (¥41,700 all-in) is the submission candidate.
How to buy Charizard ex SAR 201/165 from Japan
A slab at this price earns the photo service, DHL, and a check of the cert number before the second payment. Here is the sequence.
- Step 1 — Search by collector number. On OneMall, searching “201/165 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 ¥79,999 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.
