Mislabeled English Ancient Mew, described as Japanese “corrected Nintendo” error. Will be interesting to see if this ends at the same price as the real corrected version.
I would be pretty pissed if I bought this thinking it’s the corrected version, only to see it’s a regular US one.
Then again, always look at the card, not just the label. Luckily it didn’t end extremely high. (I bought my actual Japanese corrected version in PSA-10 for about 850 USD last year.)
This is still the Japanese mew as it lacks the wizards copyright so the 400$ price tag makes some sense. As for the label itself I know PSA calls it Ancient Mew II so I’m assuming it’s still mislabeled by BGS but I’m unaware of their ancient mew labels.
Ah lol, you’re completely right!. It is ambitiously labeled, since it’s neither the corrected Japanese v1 nor US Ancient Mew. I just commented based on @muk 's comment without looking to closely at the card itself. Mb.
In that case the ~400 USD is pretty accurate in today’s market. If I remember correctly I paid around 225 USD for my Japanese Ancient Mew version 2 in PSA-10 last year.
For @muk , here are the corrected Japanese v1, Japanese v2, and US Ancient Mew cards side-by-side:
With the following copyright information bars:
The one in the auction is the second, which is the Japanese version 2.
@assassin5757, @quuador thanks for the heads up guys, didn’t know about the Japanese ‘version II’. I thought all the JPN had these fine sparkles like ‘version I’. I still learn something new everyday here.
No problem. The BGS label is still cause for concern considering if someone told me they had a corrected Japanese Mew I’d think of the OG Ancient Mew as you did. I looked at the BGS website and it seems they don’t have a label yet for the v2 (or even the recent 2019 version) of the Japanese Ancient Mew and I found more on eBay with the same label. That being said I don’t think the seller had ill intentions and the card sold for a reasonable price.
