The popularity of the Pokémon card "Mew (033/P)" stems primarily from the following four factors: 1. Exceptional rarity as a 2002 McDonald’s exclusive • Distribution background: This promotional card was distributed as part of a McDonald’s "Happy Set" (Happy Meal) in Japan during May and June of 2002—available only on weekends—as one of nine possible cards. • Difficulty of acquisition: Because the cards were included randomly (from a set of nine) and are now over 20 years old, the number of copies remaining in circulation is extremely limited. 2. Extreme scarcity of cards in excellent (high-grade) condition • Target audience: At the time of distribution, the cards were primarily handled and played with by children; consequently, most existing copies show signs of damage, such as creases, scratches, or edge wear ("whitening"). • Collector demand: As a result, copies in good condition—or those that have received high grades from professional authentication services like PSA—are considered highly valuable and command high prices. 3. Ethereal artwork by a popular illustrator • Artistic appeal: The illustration was created by the renowned artist Hajime Kusajima. • Design: The card features a dreamlike depiction of Mew, bathed in soft light against a backdrop of a grassy field at dusk, with a sky transitioning through shades of reddish-purple. It is highly regarded as a piece of art in its own right. 4. The immense popularity of the "Mythical Pokémon" Mew • Character popularity: As a "Mythical Pokémon" introduced in the original *Pokémon Red* and *Green* games, Mew is a unique entity—said to possess the genetic code of all other Pokémon—and remains immensely popular across all generations. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Note】 ・There are some wrinkles. please judge for yourself from the photos ・It will be shipped from Japan in a card case.
