This card was kept and played with by the original owner as a child and shows heavy wear all over. It is priced accordingly:

• Front: brown stains and discoloration across the surface, most visible in the artwork background and around the text box. Creases and bends at the corners (the top right corner is bent and the lower corners are soft). Scuffing and scratches over the whole surface, and whitening along the edges (photos 1-5, 7 and 8).
• Back: several creases, including one running through the lower left area and one at the upper right corner. Whitening and wear along all four edges and corners, and general surface scuffing (photos 6, 9 and 10).
• No tears, holes, writing or missing pieces were found in our inspection of the seller's photos.

Please treat this strictly as a damaged copy. Sold as shown - please examine all photos carefully before purchase, as they form part of the description. Photos 2-5 are enlarged crops of the four front corners taken from photo 1 (same card, no edits other than cropping).

Original owner's note (translated)

"Mew, Neutral Shield, non-glossy, one card. The overall condition is quite poor (there are folds at the four corners, dirt and so on - please check the photos). This is a card I have had since I was a child. I will put it in a sleeve, wrap it in plastic and ship it sandwiched between cardboard." Declared grade: "Poor overall condition - there are noticeable scratches, dirt and damage over the whole item."
