Is my Mew Gold Star Card fake?

Yes, this is a real Mew :goldstar:.

On a real copy:

  • The star (:goldstar:) should have the iridescent foil
  • Mew’s body should have the iridescent foil
  • The borders of the “You can’t have more than 1 Pokemon :goldstar: in your deck” text box should have the iridescent foil around it
  • The borders of the textbox should have the iridescent foil around it
  • You should see a foil layer between the delta species insignia and the hit points (see second image), and around the border of the art box


Getting the iridescent foil around the non-art box (non-Mew) portions of the card is extremely difficult for forgeries.

This is what fakes and proxies look like:


Regarding price, your copy is pretty badly damaged. I would expect $250-$400 USD.
