⭐ Authentic Japanese Pokémon Card
This is the iconic Mew (No.151) promotional card distributed with Monthly CoroCoro Comic February 1997.
Known worldwide by collectors as “Lily Mew” or “Lily Pad Mew,” it is one of the most recognizable vintage Japanese Pokémon promos ever released.
Illustrated by legendary Pokémon designer Ken Sugimori, this beautiful artwork has become a centerpiece of many vintage Pokémon collections.

Why Collectors Love This Card
🌿 The Original “Lily Mew”
Featuring Mew peacefully resting on a lily pad, this artwork has become one of the most beloved illustrations in Pokémon TCG history.
Its nostalgic design and historical significance make it one of the defining Japanese vintage promos.
✨ Exclusive Glossy Finish
Unlike the later JR East Stamp Rally version, this original CoroCoro release features a distinctive Glossy finish, giving the artwork a richer appearance that collectors highly appreciate.
🏆 Condition Matters
Although millions of magazines were printed, most copies were owned by children and removed directly from magazines.
Because of edge wear, scratches, peeling, and age-related glossy coating issues, well-preserved copies are increasingly difficult to find.

Condition: MP+ (Moderately Played+)
The condition has been evaluated conservatively based on eBay’s official trading card condition guidelines.
This is the Glossy CoroCoro Comic promo version, not the regular-finish JR East version with the same artwork.
Both sides retain good original gloss and strong overall eye appeal. Light surface scratches and scuffs are present throughout from age and handling, along with minor edge and corner wear.
There are also a few small bend/pressure marks that can be difficult to see when viewed straight-on. These areas are shown more clearly in the dedicated “Points to Check” image, so please review it carefully along with all close-up photos.
Overall, the card still presents very nicely despite these condition points. We have conservatively placed it in the upper end of the MP range rather than EX- due to the surface wear and localized bend/pressure marks.
Please review all photos and the “Points to Check” image carefully and make your purchase decision with the characteristics of this vintage glossy card and its disclosed condition fully understood.
A glossy and attractive vintage CoroCoro Mew with strong eye appeal, with its condition points clearly disclosed for collectors.
