⭐ 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 Plus)
Overall, both the front and back remain quite clean, with no prominent widespread surface scratching or heavy wear.
There is, however, one localized crease/bend mark near the upper edge of the card. It can be difficult to notice when viewing the front straight-on, but becomes more visible when viewed from an angle. A corresponding wrinkle can also be seen in the same area on the back.
There is also some minor edge/corner whitening and wear consistent with age and previous handling.
Because of the localized crease/bend, I have conservatively graded this card as MP+ (Moderately Played Plus) despite its otherwise clean overall appearance.
The condition has been evaluated based on eBay’s official trading card condition guidelines.
Please carefully review all photos, especially the “Points to Check” image showing the affected area, before purchasing.
