Market outlook
Rising Outlook 7/10
Recent price momentum (+42.1% in 30 days as of September 26, 2025) and increasing graded sales indicate strong market confidence. Mew’s enduring popularity and the set’s limited availability drive continued demand.
Next months. Next 3-6 months: Expect gradual price increases, especially for graded copies (graded 9-10), with potential for 10-15% growth in raw and $5-10 increase in graded values.
Long term. 1-3 year prediction: Likely steady appreciation, particularly for top-grade copies, with potential for 20-30% total growth if market interest remains strong and supply in top grades stays limited.
History

Collector notes
Condition. Key things to check include centering, edge wear, surface scratches, and corner dents. Common flaws are light whitening on edges, minor surface scuffs, and slight corner compression due to流通.
Storage. Best practices include storing the card in a rigid top loader or semi-rigid sleeve, kept in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid stacking cards without protection.
Authenticity. To spot fakes, check for correct font, card thickness, holographic pattern, and official Pokémon TCG logo. Reprints often lack the ‘Ultra Rare’ designation or have inconsistent holographic effects. Authenticate through graded, graded, or graded for graded copies.
