The most valuable Mew card with a reported sale is the 2006 EX Dragon Frontiers Gold Star Mew #101 graded PSA 10, which sold for $391,782 at Alt in late September 2026, Men's Journal reported. That is about double the $192,000 the same card brought at Fanatics Collect in July, according to Alt's sale announcement. A modern card holds second place: a Black Label Paldean Fates "Bubble Mew" sold for $236,543 in May. Below are the most valuable Mew cards by sale, what a Gold Star Mew is worth by grade, and what modern Mews sell for.

Current as of October 7, 2026. Ranked prices are public sale results, not asking prices. Value estimates are PriceCharting market prices.

The Most Valuable Mew Cards Ever Sold

1. Gold Star Mew #101, EX Dragon Frontiers (2006), PSA 10: $391,782

2. Mew ex #232, Paldean Fates (2024), BGS Black Label 10: $236,543

  • Sale: Goldin, May 2026, $236,543 including buyer's premium on a $193,888 winning bid, per SI Collectibles and Star City Games
  • Why it matters: the Special Illustration Rare collectors call "Bubble Mew." Beckett's Black Label means perfect 10 subgrades, and Goldin's lot page said this was one of only two Black Label 10 copies among more than 1,370 in Beckett's census. A PSA 10 copy was worth about $2,850 on October 7, 2026, per PriceCharting

3. Gold Star Mew #101, EX Dragon Frontiers (2006), PSA 10: $192,000

  • Sale: Fanatics Collect Weekly auction, July 2026, per SI Collectibles and ComicBook
  • Why it matters: SI reported a PSA 10 had sold for $86,620 at Goldin in April 2026, so the price for this grade more than doubled in about three months

4. Shining Mew #151, 2001 Japanese CoroCoro Comics Promo, Holo Error, PSA 10: $156,000

5. Mew #19, Expedition Base Set (2002), PSA 10: $150,000

  • Sale: eBay, April 6, 2026, an accepted offer on a $199,999.99 listing, per PriceCharting's sales record
  • Why it matters: SI Collectibles called a PSA 10 Expedition Mew the third most expensive Mew card ever sold in its May 18, 2026 report, before the Gold Star records

6. Mew ex 003/SV-P, 2025 Simplified Chinese Promo, BGS Black Label 10: $125,100

  • Sale: eBay, late August 2025, per PriceCharting's sales record. A second Black Label copy sold for $122,322 on October 3, 2025
  • Why it matters: an event promo from mainland China limited to 1,510 copies, per Wargamer

7. Mew, 2005 Japanese Summer Battle Road Victory Orb, PSA 10: $28,800

  • Sale: Fanatics Collect Premier, May 2023, including buyer's premium
  • Why it matters: a 2005 Summer Battle Road trophy card awarded to the top three finishers in each age division, and this lot included its original trophy case, per the lot description

8. Mew #1, 2001 Southern Islands Promo, PSA 10: $24,000

  • Sale: Fanatics Collect Weekly, June 2025, including buyer's premium, after 47 bids
  • Watch: another PSA 10 Southern Islands Mew, listed as a reverse holo, had a $380,000 current bid, before the 20% buyer's premium, on October 7, 2026 in a Fanatics Collect Weekly auction that closes October 11. It is not a sale until it closes

What a Gold Star Mew Is Worth by Grade

The Gold Star Mew is the card that sets the top of the Mew market, and grade decides almost all of it:

  • PSA 10: $391,782 at Alt in September 2026, after $192,000 at Fanatics Collect in July and $86,620 at Goldin in April
  • PSA 9: $21,146.40 on September 22, 2026, the latest of 12 PSA 9 sales from July 7 to October 7, which ranged from $13,500 to $22,800, per Card Ladder
  • Ungraded: about $2,700, per PriceCharting on October 7, 2026

That is a gap of about 18 times between the latest PSA 9 and PSA 10 sales. For how other Gold Stars compare, see our Gold Star records page and the $1.02 million Mudkip Gold Star sale.

Modern Mew Cards: What They Sell For

Per PriceCharting on October 7, 2026:

Mew ex #232, Paldean Fates (2024)

  • About $847 ungraded and about $2,850 in PSA 10
  • The "Bubble Mew" from the #2 sale above

Mew VMAX #269, Fusion Strike (2021)

  • About $166 ungraded and about $450 in PSA 10

Mew ex #205, Scarlet & Violet 151 (2023), gold Hyper Rare

  • About $28 ungraded and about $266 in PSA 10

If you collect Mew for the art rather than the price, our Mew Pokémon cards guide covers five ways to build a Mew collection, and Mewtwo has its own list in our most valuable Mewtwo cards guide.

Our take: the top five Mew sales all happened in 2026, and the record holder is the same Gold Star Mew that sold for $192,000 in July, according to Alt. When one slab doubles in under three months, a single sale is a weak guide to value. Compare several recent sales before pricing a high-grade Mew.
