Mew #2 Value

Japanese 25th Anniversary Collection · Card 2

Mew is one of those cards that never really goes out of style, the little pink psychic cat that started it all, and this particular version comes from the Japanese 25th Anniversary Collection set. If you're trying to pin down Mew's value, the short answer is that a raw copy sits around $6, which makes it an approachable card for almost any collector, but the story gets a lot more interesting once grading enters the picture.

Mew — collector's take

Is Mew worth grading?

So is Mew worth grading? Here's the honest breakdown: a raw copy runs about $6, a Grade 9 sits at $14, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $146, which works out to roughly 25.1 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting to think every copy in your binder is a hidden $146 card. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, it's genuinely hard to hit, especially with the sharp corners and clean edges these Japanese 25th Anniversary cards demand. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and you're taking on real cost and real risk before you even know your result. If you've got a copy that looks flawless under a loupe, it can be worth the gamble. If it's got a soft corner or a hint of print line, you might be better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is.

How rare is it?

We don't have exact population figures to lean on here, but Mew's place in the Japanese 25th Anniversary Collection tells its own story. This was a celebration set, printed to mark a milestone, and cards like Mew carry that extra layer of nostalgia and desirability that keeps demand steady even without huge print numbers. Scarcity in a set like this usually shows up less in total copies and more in how few survive the trip to PSA 10 condition, which is exactly why that top grade commands such a premium over the raw card.

Where to pull it

This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we track real pulls across pack sites, not just price guide estimates. Mew has been pulled 200 or more times across platforms including courtyard, collector-crypt, packs, tilt-rips, and lastpack, and it's shown up in packs like the Pokémon Starter Pack, Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, Celebrations Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack. The biggest recorded pull of this card hit $7,504, which is a reminder of how wild the upside can be when a high grade lands. Just remember that pack opening is gambling at its core, most rips don't come close to that kind of number, and the fun should be the point, with any big hit as a bonus.

Questions people ask

How much is Mew worth?

A raw, ungraded Mew from the Japanese 25th Anniversary Collection is worth about $6. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $14 and a PSA 10 reaching $146, so condition makes a real difference in what this card is worth.

Is Mew worth grading?

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 25.1 times the raw price. But gem mint copies are tough to pull off, and grading costs money and time, so it's worth grading mainly if your copy already looks close to perfect.

What set is Mew from?

This Mew is card #2 from the Japanese 25th Anniversary Collection set, a release built around celebrating a major Pokemon milestone. It's a set collectors still hunt for specifically because of cards like this one.
