It reached collectors as a magazine insert, distributed with the May 2001 issue of CoroCoro Comic in Japan — a channel that guaranteed two things at once: an enormous print run relative to other promos and a survival rate far below what that run would suggest, because paper inserts were handled, folded and stored without protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe card itself belongs to the Shining lineage, with Mew at level 24 and 50 HP, the attacks Flash Search and Mystic Fire, and an illustration by Hironobu Yoshida that places the Pokémon floating against a cosmic field. The holo here is the Cosmos Holofoil finish, distinct from the standard treatment used on the Shining cards of Neo Revelation, and the set symbol ties the promo conceptually to Neo Destiny. That combination of an exclusive distribution path, a finish that exists nowhere else, and one of the franchise’s most emblematic characters is what has kept the card in the conversation for two decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis copy is certified \u003cstrong\u003ePSA 8 NM-MT\u003c\/strong\u003e. On a Japanese promo of this age the grade reflects genuine survival rather than careful modern handling, and it offers a way into one of the most storied cards of the early-2000s period without entering the top-grade bracket. For collectors of Japanese promos, Shining-era cards or Mew as a character, it is a coherent, well-documented piece: a specific distribution channel, a specific finish, and a certification that fixes both.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collecto Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58064083812692,"sku":"4417","price":3190.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9083\/7588\/files\/4417_1.png?v=1793448405","url":"https:\/\/collectoarchive.com\/products\/pokemon-shining-mew-corocoro-comics-promo-2001-psa-8","provider":"Collecto Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
