A while ago I bought a few CoroCoro Lillypad Mew’s to add to my collection and I noticed that there was one which had a color difference. It is the same kinda difference like the purple between the ‘Hobby Fair 1997 Vending Mew’ and the ‘Best Collection CD Vending Mew’.
Is there any one who knows what the printruns were of this card, and if that could be a cause? Below are two pictures compared with 2 different cards, the (unfortunatly) heavilly played one is the one with the colordifference.
Two variations of the Japanese Lily Pad Mew…Both are #151, the darker purple is a Coro Coro promo…glossy finish released in Feb 1997. The lighter Mew is a non glossy promo released at the JR Stamp rally in Aug 1997.
@lof102 first had some back and forth PMs with me yesterday before he made this post. I think these color differences can be found in any set, although the Base Set and XY Evolutions are the most notorious for color differences.
When you take a look at the 59 unique Pikachu cards picture I made about halve a year ago:
