Personally, I like the gold star mewtwo art more too, it just has more action in the card. I actually has the opportunity to buy the 1st edition shining for $6k but I passed because I thought that if I was gonna spend that much I might as well go all in for the gold star
Fellow Mewtwo collector here (along with other stuff so it’s been a while since I picked up an expensive mewtwo!)
I opted to go with the 1st edition shining mewtwo as I think it’s one of the most badass artworks and I love the dark feel to it.
You don’t see it come up in PSA10 too often so I jumped on it when I could.
Gold star in 10 is something I don’t yet have and also out of my reach for the near future unless I sell a lot. I think I’d actually opt to get this one in Japanese as I prefer the look to it but appreciate this isn’t as rare or expensive (also maybe a reason I’ll get it to save some £££). Currently is 44 more Japanese PSA10’s.
Mewtwo HR competition is one I bought early this year and absolutely love it. I went with the non-rainbow one as I just don’t have any appeal towards rainbow cArds but appreciate this would be a better investment due to lower amount of copies given out. But I just love the purple with mewtwo.
This card price is bouncing around a bit but the general trend looks upwards and I think it’ll be a good future collectible due to the exclusivity of the card and the artwork feels really powerful.
Mewtwo 20th Festa is one I need to pick up soon too actually! For now I just have true cheaper English one
Oh one I did pick up recently was Mewtwo 2020 championship Japanese promo. Not sure how many was printed but not too many raw on eBay.
What I’m really lacking and haven’t got involved with yet is Zukan cards which have some great mewtwo artwork.
That’s awesome! Good luck with your collection. What about Korean, though?! You’ve got the 2000 WOTC Korean Mewtwo Black Star Promo (only Korean WOTC promo with print run 300,000 but still fairly rare) and the Korean 363/SM-P of which there are only 36!
That artwork definitely is beautiful, unfortunately I haven’t gotten the chance to pick up a near mint copy of it though. Honestly I’m thinking I might just get the PSA 10 version eventually.
