⭐ 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: HP (Heavily Played)
The condition has been evaluated conservatively based on eBay’s official trading card condition guidelines.
This vintage card shows significant signs of play and handling, including noticeable surface wear, scratches, edge wear, and whitening, particularly on the back.
There are also multiple substantial bend/crease marks in approximately three areas of the card. These bends have created visible crease lines on the opposite side of the card, in addition to the general wear from age and use.
Despite the heavier wear, the card remains intact and the front artwork is still clearly presentable, making it a suitable example for collectors who prioritize owning this vintage card over higher-grade condition.
Please carefully review all photos, especially the close-up images of the corners, edges, and creased areas, as they form an important part of the condition description.
The card shown in the photos is the exact card you will receive.
