Mew occupies 3 products, with CS4bC alone printing 6 of the 13 cards. Mew EX #191 tops the ranking at $390.77, and no single card holds more than 26 percent of the graded value.
What makes the shape worth reading is where the cards sit. 6 of the 13 Mew cards come out of CS4bC as a run from #48 to #162, and that one line supplies 4 of the 11 ranked cards. The top of the list is not from that line at all: Mew EX from Collect 151 takes first place at $390.77.
How this list was built
Three rules, applied in this order.
- The card has to sit in a Chinese-only set. Every card below carries a set code ending in C — CS4bC, 151C and CSM2bC. That trailing letter marks a Simplified Chinese print run, and it is the dependable way to tell a Chinese-only card from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese. Reading a Chinese set code from end to end covers the whole system.
- The card has to have a tracked PSA 10 value. 13 Mew cards exist across these sets and 11 have a PSA 10 price on record. The 2 that do not are Mew VMAX #49 and Mew V #137 — none of them has a graded sold record yet, and a card with no price cannot be ranked.
- The card has to be a Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope.
One exclusion applies here as it does to every character ranking we publish. Promo printings of Mew exist in Chinese and they are not on this list. Promo numbering is shared across the Chinese branches — the same promo number appears in Traditional Chinese product as well — so a promo number on its own cannot establish which branch a card came from. Everything below sits inside a numbered set whose code ends in C, which is unambiguous.
The ten, ranked
1. Mew EX #191 — Collect 151 (151C) — $390.77
Raw $209.31 · grade 9 $220
First on the list and the card that breaks the CS4bC sequence. There is $132 between it and the card below. Grading multiplies this one only 1.9 times, with $209.31 already in the raw card. This is the Collect 151 print at #191, the set where all of the original 151 Pokémon have a card.
2. Mew VMAX #162 — CS4bC — $258.35
Raw $101.65 · grade 9 $100.23
Ranked 2 of 11 and a CS4bC card inside the #48 to #162 run. The next card down is $31 behind it. At 2.5 times the graded premium is small next to the $101.65 a raw copy costs.
3. Mew & Mewtwo GX #188 — CSM2bC — $227.70
Raw $86.18 · grade 9 $69
Number 3 of 11 and one of the CSM2bC prints that sits outside the CS4bC group. It holds a $68 lead over the card beneath. Its multiple of 2.6 is the narrowest kind in this catalogue: the raw price of $86.18 already holds most of the graded value.
4. Mew V #138 — CS4bC — $159.33
Raw $40.50 · grade 9 $57.36
Sitting at 4 of 11 and part of the CS4bC Mew group, which runs from #48 to #162. There is $43 between it and the card below. The graded copy is worth 3.9 times the raw one.
5. Mewtwo & Mew GX #34 — CSM2bC — $116.31
Raw $28.50 · grade 9 $32.72
Ranked 5 of 11 and one of the CSM2bC prints that sits outside the CS4bC group. The raw-to-graded multiple is a modest 4.1.
6. Mew EX #192 — Collect 151 (151C) — $107.63
Raw $25.53 · grade 9 $22
Number 6 of 11 and a Collect 151 print outside the main line. It holds a $30 lead over the card beneath. Raw to graded is only 4.2 times, since $25.53 raw already carries part of the premium.
7. Mew VMAX #161 — CS4bC — $78
Raw $25 · grade 9 $40.99
Sitting at 7 of 11 and part of the CS4bC Mew group, which runs from #48 to #162. Grading takes this one from $25 to $78, a factor of 3.1.
8. Mew EX #188 — Collect 151 (151C) — $65
Raw $10.99 · grade 9 $15.50
Ranked 8 of 11 and a Collect 151 print outside the main line. The graded copy is worth 5.9 times the raw one.
9. Mew EX #151 — Collect 151 (151C) — $46.60
Raw $3.69 · grade 9 $6
Number 9 of 11 and one of the Collect 151 prints that sits outside the CS4bC group. The raw-to-graded step here is 12.6 times.
10. Mew EX #185 — Collect 151 (151C) — $36
Raw $10.99 · grade 9 $26.86
Sitting at 10 of 11 and a Collect 151 print outside the main line. Raw to graded is only 3.3 times, since $10.99 raw already carries part of the premium.
What the ranking shows
Mew splits into 3 bands across 11 priced cards, and the top band is where the ranking is decided.
| Band | Cards | Combined PSA 10 value | Share of total |
|---|---|---|---|
| $391 — ranked 1 | 1 | $391 | 25.9% |
| $159 – $258 — ranked 2 to 4 | 3 | $645 | 42.8% |
| $24 – $116 — ranked 5 to 11 | 7 | $473 | 31.3% |
| Every priced Mew card | 11 | $1,509 | 100% |
Two further patterns run across the whole group.
A Kanto entry breaks the run. Mew is one of the original 151 Pokémon, so Collect 151 prints it, and that print lands at number 1. Characters from later generations have no entry in that set and therefore no card that can break a Gem Pack run.
The multiples are not uniform. Raw-to-graded ratios across the list run from 1.9 to 12.6 — a spread that says the raw market and the graded market are pricing these prints off different information.
Where Mew is printed
| Product | Set code | Mew cards | With a PSA 10 value |
|---|---|---|---|
| CS4bC | CS4bC | 6 | 4 |
| Collect 151 | 151C | 5 | 5 |
| CSM2bC | CSM2bC | 2 | 2 |
| Total | 13 | 11 |
CS4bC supplies 6 of the 13 Mew cards and 34 percent of the $1,509 total, because the expensive cards are inside that line. Collect 151 prints Mew as one of the original 151, and those prints are priced generously relative to the Gem Pack foils. 2 of the 13 cards carry no price at all, so the checklist in the table above is longer than the ranking it supports. If the goal is the group rather than the single card, completing a Simplified Chinese set sets out what a full run involves.
If you want one card
- One card, no budget limit: Mew EX #191 from Collect 151 at $390.77. It is the only Mew card in the language above $258.
- The second line: Mew VMAX #162 from CS4bC at $258.35, the second-highest Mew card in these sets and the next step down from the top.
- If you want the whole run: the 11 ranked cards come to $1,509 together, which is close to the cost of the top card alone.
Frequently asked questions
How many Mew cards are there in Simplified Chinese?
13, across 3 products. 11 of the 13 carry a tracked PSA 10 value.
What is the most valuable Mew card in Simplified Chinese?
Mew EX #191 from Collect 151, tracked at $390.77 as a PSA 10 and $209.31 raw. It is the only Mew card in these sets above $258, and it holds 26 percent of the character’s combined value.
Why is there a Collect 151 Mew card on the list?
Because Mew is one of the original 151 Pokémon and Collect 151 prints every one of them. It lands at number 1 at $390.77. Characters from later generations are not in that set, so they have no Kanto print to break a Gem Pack run.
Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?
Raw-to-graded multiples across the list run from 1.9 to 12.6, so on most cards the graded premium is real. Where the multiple is lowest, the raw price already carries most of the value. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.
Do the Collect 151 prints come in more than one treatment?
Yes. A number in Collect 151 exists as a plain card, a reverse holo and a Master Ball reverse holo. Only the plain print usually trades enough to have a price attached. The series guide explains the two reverse holo patterns.
