Pokémon TCG, Mew ex (SV Black Star Promos #53)

About Mew ex SV Black Star Promos #53

Mew ex (SV Black Star Promos #53) is an exclusive, textured foil promo card from Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—151 Ultra-Premium Collection. The card was released in 2023 by The Pokémon Company and is part of the SV Black Star Promos series. This variant is a paper promo — not to be confused with the etched metal Mew ex that is also included in the same product.

Collector and player relevance

Mew ex SVP 053 is particularly sought after by collectors because it only exists as a paper promo in the 151 Ultra-Premium Collection and cannot be obtained via booster packs. For collectors of Pokémon cards, and especially Mew cards, this variant represents a unique addition from the Scarlet & Violet era. It is important to distinguish between this paper promo and the metal edition of Mew ex from the same product — they have different collector status and are two separate cards.

For players, the card offers the flexible Ability Restart and the versatile attack Genome Hacking, but this description does not comment on tournament legality or the metagame.

Variant and condition

The offered item is a raw card in Near Mint (NM) condition. This means the card is not professionally graded, but assessed to be in excellent condition without significant flaws. Note that there is no guarantee for language, centering, surface quality, or packaging, as these details are not provided in the product data.
