How big is mew?

Big flowers or smol Pokemon?

So they are condition only and no aesthetics when it comes to grading?

[Dyl]

[Graders] only scrutinize the pure condition of the card, and printing misalignment (centering) is not subject to deduction.

Yes, this is the translated Japanese

Flower far in front (bokeh), Mew further in the back

I personally have never understood why a Gem copy can’t be slightly off-center. What is the objective measurable value of a few mm versus a dent, chipping, or scratch? Oh, well, Just MHO.

My favourite version of the base set artwork. 'vacation’money well spent expected it to have a way higher pop, but its ‘only’ 492 in psa 9!

Absolutely beautiful

No rarity in general has pretty bad centering as well, right?

First purchase in a while, The beginning of a new goal for me

[mrbubbles]

Very nice card. Just curious what the new goal is and if it involves promo cards. Thanks for sharing your purchase, it looks beautiful.

Cheers!

[pikachutcg]

Thanks! the new goal does involve promo cards! Currently the goal is specifically Japanese promo’s related to this one, starting with the Beat of the Frontier Release Commemoration Tournament promo’s. Partly inspired by @pigeonsyndicate when they gifted me a Beat of the Frontier booster pack for efour secret santa in 2020 and partly inspired by my fascination with Japanese promo’s in general.

(Thank you again @pigeonsyndicate)

Cool. The Frontier beat commemorative event promos are a healthy enough challenge. Specially for you are going for graded copies in high grades. The Drifblim promo is actually pretty rare and probably the hardest to find. I wish you fun in the chase and success in finding them all.

Cheers!

[pikachutcg]

I’m aiming for all 10’s, I’m also planning on designing a custom frame for everything when it’s done. I agree, I have my eye on a drifblim at the moment. Just a matter of time and restraint from getting side tracked on other Japanese promo’s along the way!

What is this one called?

[Neutral]

It begins

[mrbubbles]

It is the new Mew Chinese Promo card which is an exclusive release to commemorate release of the Chinese 151 set. So this card will be limited to 1510 copies only. However, the release is staggered so only a few copies being released as the time goes on.

Cheers!

Wow, just looked it up! I can’t believe how much they are going for!
