30th Celebration Mew ex: Three Cards, $1.29 to $62.17

The three 30th Celebration Mew ex cards print the same 160 HP, the same Memory Helix ability and the same 30-damage attack. On November 11, TCGplayer's market price ran from $1.29 for the 066 Double Rare to $30.31 for the 158 Futuristic Rare and $62.17 for the 152 Special Illustration Rare (SIR). That's a 48-fold gap on identical card text, and the three differ in art, rarity and listing count. The 152 carries Kuroimori's art, the 158 YOSHIROTTEN's and the 066 aky CG Works', and the table below sets each against its price.

Google's autocomplete on November 11 finishes "30th celebration mew ex" with 152, 158 and 66/128, so the three numbers are what people type. Every number below is for the English set, and every price is a TCGplayer market price, a measure of recent sales, not what one copy sold for.

Mew ex 066, 152 and 158 share their card text and differ in art, rarity and price

TCGplayer's product records and TCGdex both give all three 160 HP, the ability Memory Helix and the attack Teleportation Burst for 30. The official English card list names 066, 152 and 158 as Mew ex but marks rarity with symbols, so the rarity names come from TCGplayer and TCGdex, which agree. Our rarity symbols guide explains the marks.

The odds in the last column come from TCGplayer's opening of more than 3,000 packs and describe a specific card of that rarity, not Mew in particular. At the 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box market price of $111.24 on November 11, a pack costs $12.36 (nine packs per box). At that price, 48 packs is $593.28, 205 is $2,533.80 and 240 is $2,966.40. At the box's $5.55-a-pack list price, they are $266.40, $1,137.75 and $1,332.00. These are averages implied by the odds and say little about what any one buyer will spend. Our pull-rates post works the 205-pack case in full.

The Futuristic Mew opened above the SIR at $248.04 and has lost 88%, against 68% for the SIR

On release day the 158 sat $53.75 above the 152. By our first own read, on October 12, it sat $24.44 below, and the 152 has stayed on top since; the gap on November 11 was $31.86. From release day to November 11, the 152 fell 68.0% and the 158 fell 87.8%. Before release, Bill's Archive says the 158 was quoted at $1,864.72 on zero sales. By its October 30 update it had sold 697 times and sat at $44.28, which makes the fall from that quote 98.4% by our November 11 figure. Bill's Archive reads the Futuristic Rares' drop as the "classic signature of a card that was thinly supplied on day one and is no longer".

The 152 fell too, only less. TCGplayer's October 7 price column had it "taking a plunge from $150 down to just below $100", and our reads then show a small rebound to $93.39 on October 19 before $81.40 on October 28. Bill's Archive had $73.73 for it on October 30, $7.67 under our October 28 read, taken two days apart with different methods.

Release-day prices are reported by a secondary source, and the October reads are one-time price-guide readings, so the curve is five points, not a daily line. The 066 has no history here because we have a price for it only on October 28 and November 11 (it has $1.72 from the October 28 Price Guide sync and $1.36 from the November 11 TCGCSV export; the 05:35 UTC read above gave $1.29).

The two chase Mews are 22% of what it costs to buy all 30 IR, SIR and Futuristic Rare cards

On October 4, u/Ragnaroknight wrote in an r/PokemonTCG thread called "30th single prices are crashing". We read it through the thread's .rss feed on November 11.

The comment says: "You can buy every SiR, Future Rare, and IR in the entire set for about $700. With Gengar and Mew being the two cards really inflating that number." We have no sum for October 4, so we can't check the $700. Our nearest reading is October 28, when the 30 cards numbered 129 to 158 (18 Illustration Rares, 10 SIRs and 2 Futuristic Rares, with the unnumbered RGB Mew left out) added up to $560.91. On November 11 they added up to $416.63, down 25.7% in 14 days. The two sums come from different reads: October 28 is a TCGplayer Price Guide sync, and November 11 is a TCGCSV export of TCGplayer prices taken at 01:54 UTC, so the 25.7% is a rough size and isn't a like-for-like change.

The two chase Mews were $127.17 of the October 28 sum and $93.42 of the November 11 one, so 22.7% and then 22.4%. The $93.42 is the 152 at $62.74 and the 158 at $30.68 in that 01:54 UTC export; our 05:35 UTC read gave $62.17 and $30.31, the prices used in the rest of this post. They fell with the rest of the set instead of pulling away from it. The next card up was Gengar ex 154 at $49.61 on November 11, in the same TCGplayer export that gives the $416.63.

In the same thread, u/ChalkDoxie wrote: "If we could just pull the Magikarp, Gangar, and futuristic Mew, I feel like we'd probably just buy the singles of what we need to finish off the set!" In the 01:54 UTC export the futuristic Mew was $30.68, 7.4% of the $416.63 sum.

TCGplayer's pull data can't separate the 152 from the 158, and listings are the visible difference

TCGplayer gives a specific SIR 0.49% ± 0.24% per pack and a specific Futuristic Rare 0.42% ± 0.22%. The first range runs from 0.25% to 0.73% and the second from 0.20% to 0.64%, so they overlap and more than 3,000 packs can't say which card is scarcer. Yet the 152 costs 2.05 times the 158.

What does separate them on November 11 is supply on the marketplace. The 066 had 789 listings from 775 sellers, the 158 had 294 from 276, and the 152 had 237 from 218. The order of listings is the reverse of the order of prices. Three cards are too few to call it a rule, and a listing count shows supply only, so we won't call it a cause. It's also a snapshot: our November 11 read was one request at 05:35 UTC.

On November 11 the 152 cost $31.86 more than the 158 and $60.88 more than the 066 for identical card text

The gap between the 152 and the 158 was $24.44 on October 12 and $31.86 on November 11, and the 158 was $53.75 above the 152 on release day. One of each costs $93.77 at market on November 11, which is 84% of that day's $111.24 Elite Trainer Box market price, while the packs for one specific 152 average $2,533.80 at that box price. The cheapest listings with shipping sat close to market: $62.28 for the 152 against its $62.17 market price, and $29.99 for the 158 against $30.31. These cards lost 68% and 88% from release day, so every figure here is a reading on one day, and it's not a forecast. Our market price guide explains what a market price measures and what it doesn't, and our chase-card list has the rest of the set at its October prices.
