Mewtwo was the first Pokémon that felt dangerous, and the card game has treated it that way for 27 years: a Base Set holo, the Shining, the Rocket version, and now a Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex that is the heaviest card in its set. These are the ones I'd keep, from a $3 holo to a Shadowless slab.

The grails
The two Wizards-era Mewtwo holos that define the character's collection, each in its separate prints.
The original
Base Set Mewtwo #10 (1999)
The Base Set holo, the card that put Mewtwo on the kitchen table in 1999. Like every Base Set holo it is three separate cards — 1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited — with separate PSA labels and separate prices, and the Unlimited raw copy is still cheap enough that a collector can own the art for the price of lunch while deciding which lane to chase graded.
A secret-rare Shining from the last Neo set, with the foil on the Pokémon instead of the background. The Shining Charizard gets the headlines; the Shining Mewtwo is the one that still looks like a secret. The 1st Edition is the serious print, and its PSA 10 almost never comes to market, which is why the ladder shows a single dated sale rather than a mark.
Modern Mewtwos with a clear chase slot and a graded market deep enough to mark every week.
Rocket's Mewtwo
Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex, Destined Rivals (2025)
Destined Rivals brought Team Rocket back and this Mewtwo is the set's heaviest card in our index. The Special Illustration Rare #231 is the chase; the gold #240 is the hyper-rare frame. The regular-art #213 is on the starter shelf below.
Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex #281, Ascended Heroes (2026)
The 2026 follow-up in Ascended Heroes, where a second Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex Special Illustration Rare landed among the set's top weights. A pair with the Destined Rivals card for anyone building the Rocket run.
From the Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery, the illustration-rare subset that closed out Sword & Shield. The gallery Mewtwo VSTAR is one of the heaviest cards in our Crown Zenith index and the most-wanted Mewtwo of its era.
The shiny full art from the Hidden Fates Shiny Vault. Sits in the same vault as the Charizard GX SV49 and the Umbreon GX SV69 and has aged the same way.
The 30th Celebration set printed Mewtwo ex twice at the top end, #151 and #157. Both are too new for graded marks that meet our rule, so the ladder shows the raw mark and stays quiet on the rest.
1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited are three separate assets with separate PSA labels, separate population reports and separate price histories. Our indices track each print as its own card and every link on this page searches for the exact print on its row.
Two Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex cards
Destined Rivals (2025) and Ascended Heroes (2026) each have a Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex Special Illustration Rare. They are different cards with different numbers, and a search that drops the set name will mix them.
Modern value lives in the 10
On modern Special Illustration Rares a PSA 9 sells for about what the raw card does; the premium is almost entirely in the PSA 10. On the vintage holos the gap is far wider, and a raw vintage mark is a typical raw sale in any condition, not a near-mint price.
On grading
PSA 10 is the hobby's price reference. TAG grades by machine-measured imaging with human review and publishes a full defect report for every card, which is why we link TAG slabs beside PSA on every row. We think measured grading is where the hobby is heading — our view, not a price claim. How TAG grading works →
Where every number came from
Method
Raw is each card's sold mark in its own ShopCardHub set index: the median of its clean ungraded sold comps (PriceCharting completed sales) over the trailing 30 days, 90 days on the 1st Edition and Shadowless indices, re-marked Monday and Thursday — the same number as the index table and the card page. PSA 9, PSA 10 and TAG 10 are read from dated completed sales whose own listing title names that grade: the median of 3+ sales in 30 days, else 2+ in 90 days. Fewer than that is no mark; a single sale is shown as one dated sale, never as a price. A raw vintage copy can be in any condition, so a raw mark on a 1999 card is a typical raw sale, not a near-mint price. Marks on this page were read between Sep 30, 2026 and Oct 5, 2026. eBay links are searches for the exact print on each row, with our affiliate tag — live listings, never a price.
