JAPANESE FOSSIL — 1997

In 1997, Japan's Mystery of the Fossils expansion unearthed ancient Pokémon and legendary creatures that would captivate collectors around the world. But among its most mysterious treasures was Mew—the elusive 151st Pokémon, whose existence once seemed little more than a playground rumor.

​

With its delicate pink silhouette and shimmering holographic background, Japanese Fossil Mew became an unforgettable symbol of Pokémon's earliest mysteries.

Within the Vault survives one original Japanese holographic Mew, a relic from the days when discovering the mythical Pokémon felt like uncovering a secret the world wasn't supposed to know.

​

Some mysteries were never meant to be solved.

What are they worth... to you?
