📦 Important Note About the Current Packaging
The inner sleeve and side-loading card holder visible inside the sealed SNKRDUNK OPP bag were supplied by the previous owner when the card was originally submitted to SNKRDUNK for authentication.
They are not additional packaging added by JPN Warehouse after authentication.
The outer SNKRDUNK-authenticated package remains sealed exactly as received following authentication.
For this reason, we have intentionally not removed the card from the authenticated packaging for additional inspection or photography.

📋 Condition
MP (Moderately Played) — Previous Owner’s Assessment
The MP condition designation was provided by the previous owner and should be treated as their subjective assessment rather than a condition grade assigned by SNKRDUNK or JPN Warehouse.
Because the card has remained sealed since it was received following SNKRDUNK authentication, we have not removed it from the authenticated packaging to independently reassess its condition.
The current photographs show the card through the sealed packaging.
For additional transparency, this listing also includes photographs provided by the previous owner showing the card before it was submitted for authentication. These images are clearly labeled:
“Photo Provided by the Previous Owner”
Please carefully review both our current photographs and the previous-owner photographs to make your own assessment of the card’s condition before purchasing.

🌸 A Classic Early Japanese Mew Collectible
The Lily Mew has become one of the most recognizable early Japanese Mew cards thanks to its peaceful Ken Sugimori artwork of Mew resting on a lily pad and its connection to Japan’s early Pokémon promotional era.
This Non-Glossy variation, combined with its Japanese Old Back design and SNKRDUNK-authenticated provenance, makes it an appealing piece for collectors of:
Mew • Japanese Promos • JR Stamp Rally Cards • Old Back Pokémon • Vintage Pokémon
The exact authenticated card shown in the photographs is the card you will receive.
