Collector interest and artwork

What truly sets this Mew V Alternate Full Art apart is Naoki Saito's detailed illustration. Mew is here accompanied by Smeargle, Toxtricity (Low Key Form), Dreepy, Toxel and Hoopa Unbound — all connected to the Fusion Strike theme. The Alternate Art variant is placed outside the set's regular numbering (251/264), making the card especially sought after among collectors of Pokémon cards from the Sword & Shield era.

Storage and accessories

To preserve condition and value, we recommend protecting your Ultra Rare card with accessories such as sleeves, top loaders or binders. This card is sold as a single raw card — not graded, not sealed, and without additional accessories. The NM (Near Mint) condition is the store's own assessment and not a professional grading.
