Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (PSA 8-9 Profile)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $35 - $50. Graded (PSA 10): $120 - $160. Graded (PSA 9): $50 - $65.
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $38 to $45. PSA 10 slabs have consistently sold in the $140 range over the last 30 days.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy towards the left side. Top-to-bottom centering looks good. Corners and edges appear clean through the top loader, though a definitive check for surface scratches or whitening on the back is required for a precise grade.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if it is a potential PSA 10 candidate. If there are any white specks on the back corners or surface scratches, the grading fee may exceed the value added. Based on centering, a PSA 9 is most likely.
Card Description
Psychic type Pokémon, 30 HP. Features the attacks 'Legendary Guidance' and 'Beam'. The design features a blue-colored (Shiny) Mew with a textured holo foil treatment on the character art itself rather than the background.
Notable Features
Shining Mew is one of the chase cards from the Shining Legends subset. It features a unique rainbow foil background and a textured 'shimmer' on the Mew character body.
Authentication Notes
The font style, energy symbols, and specific rainbow-burst holo pattern are consistent with authentic Shining Legends cards. The texture on the Mew itself is the primary security feature for this specific set.
