Overview
Mew (#151, Psychic, Generation I) is the original Mythical Pokemon and the secret 151st entry of the Kanto Pokedex. Headline TCG prints span the 1999 Ancient Mew Movie Promo, EX Holon Phantoms Mew Gold Star, and Pokemon 151 (SV3.5) Mew ex — making it one of the most consistently chased non-mascot characters across every era.
Lore & Background
Mew is the New Species Pokemon, Pokedex #151, a pure Psychic-type Mythical introduced in Generation I (Red/Green, 1996). Lore states Mew contains the genetic code of every Pokemon, which made it the source DNA used to create Mewtwo (#150). It is famously the result of a hidden Game Freak insertion by programmer Shigeki Morimoto in the final weeks of Red/Green development. Mew has been distributed almost exclusively through event promotions: the 1996 Nintendo Power glitch, GameStop/Pokemon-Center Mystery Gifts, and Virtual Console reissues. It is the central Mythical of Pokemon: The First Movie (1998) (Bulbapedia accessed 2026-05-09).
Investment Analysis
Mew benefits from a unique three-way collector demand stream: Mythical Pokemon collectors, Gen-I completionists, and Movie-era nostalgia buyers. Headline prints: 1999-2000 Ancient Mew Movie Promo (multiple language variants — Japanese carries the largest premium), EX Holon Phantoms Mew Gold Star (2006), Mew Gold Star Promo, Sun & Moon Hidden Fates Shiny Mew GX, Celebrations Classic Collection Mew (Wizards reprint), and Pokemon 151 Mew ex SAR. The Ancient Mew is one of the few non-holo cards that consistently grades into 4-figure PSA 10 territory because of its glow-foil printing process.
Buyer Guide
Vintage buyers anchor on Ancient Mew (verify language stamp; Japanese first-print > Korean > English) and EX Holon Phantoms Mew Gold Star 101/110. Mid-tier: Mew Promo (#8 Wizards), Legendary Collection Mew, Skyridge Crystal Mew. Modern buyers focus on Pokemon 151 Mew ex SAR 193/165 (one of the strongest modern alt-art chases), Hidden Fates Shiny Mew GX SV49a, and Celebrations Classic Mew. Be especially careful with Ancient Mew — original 1999 prints have a misprint variant (NlNTENDO with capital I, then corrected) that affects valuation.
