Mewtwo (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Mewtwo (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #049/087 of the CP6: Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary 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) (Rare, CP6: Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary #049/087) changes hands at roughly $19.76, 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 $19.76, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $17.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $19.76, Lightly Played $19.19, Heavily Played $17.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Mewtwo (Japanese) is valued near $248.50 — about 13x 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 $248.50 — roughly 13x 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 $57.00, CGC 10 $89.99, CGC 9.5 $22.50 — 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.
