Mewtwo (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Mewtwo (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition_Holofoil variant is a Holo Rare — the shimmering pulls that built the hobby and that set-builders prize most. Cataloged as Holo Rare #118/128 of the Base Expansion Pack set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Mewtwo (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Mewtwo (Japanese) (Holo Rare, Base Expansion Pack #118/128) changes hands at roughly $163.78, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $163.78, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $159.00. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Mewtwo (Japanese) is valued near $4,000 — about 24x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Mewtwo (Japanese): Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Mewtwo (Japanese) sits around $4,000 — roughly 24x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $375.00, CGC 10 $599.99, PSA 8 $517.38 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
