Hey! Awesome card. GB promo set was one of the first sets I completed myself and I definitely consider Meowth as part of it! It’s the only one I’m still missing in PSA 10, but I did pick up some lower graded copies when I got the chance. My logic towards including Meowth was the simple fact it has the GB set symbol like the other 7 cards you mentioned.

I have them listed like this:

Holo Name Pokédex Year Obtained from
Yes Dragonite No. 149 1998 Pokémon Card GB
Yes Venusaur No. 003 1998 Pokémon Card GB Strategy Guide
No Meowth No. 052 1998 CoroCoro Comic [February 1999]
Yes Mewtwo No. 150 2001 Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!
Yes Lugia No. 249 2001 Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!
No Dark Ivysaur No. 002 2001 Pocketmonsters CardGame [2001 Vol.10]
Yes Dark Venusaur No. 003 2001 Pocketmonsters CardGame [2001 Vol.10]
No Dark Fearow No. 022 2001 Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR! Strategy Guide

Meowth has the GB symbol, so doesn’t that mean GB promo?

But it is a corocoro promo. Sort of the same thing with the world hobby fair mew/mewtwo/pikachu, these 3 feature the vending series logo but are not actually from the vending series.

Well, personally I count both the WHF and the corocoro promos with Vending symbol, as well as the Red/Green Gift set, as extended parts of the core Vending series. Same with the GB promos. To me, the symbol determines to which set a card belongs. But there is no absolute truth on this matter, so to each their own.

My first copy of this Sableye came in today. I just can’t get over how mezmerizing, haunting, beautiful this looks. Seriously one of the most stunning cards I’ve ever held in my hands. It’s like the ex Deoxys reverse foil pattern got created specifically for this card.

I’m glad people who started collecting recently like myself seem to be obsessed with sealed product. I really think I had no business getting this for the price I did.

I’m gonna say it, Thai has the absolute best shining pokemon cards out of all languages, bar none. Better than English, better than Japanese.

@nish, looks great! Do thai cards use a different foil?

I think the only difference between them and the Japanese cards is that the Thai have the borders foiled. From what I remember the textures and everything else is the same

Side by side with my Mews it’s no contest

Had a chance to get a mint raw copy a few months back but regretted not taking it, so was really pleased to find another one in fantastic condition, at a lower price than the first as well! Get in

I feel like I’ve been the second highest bidder on all of these to have appeared for sale since 2019. I’m glad I finally won a copy along with its original packaging. This is the Ken Sugimori Art Collection 01 telephone card from May 2002 along with the Art Collection 02 and 03 telephone cards still sealed.
