1999 Mewtwo Card Value: Every Base Set Print Compared

The same Mewtwo #10 was printed four ways in Base Set, and PriceCharting prices each one separately. Values retrieved 2026-09-25, raw · grade 7 · grade 8 · grade 9 · grade 9.5 · PSA 10:

• 1st Edition: $528.13 · $2,338 · $3,210 · $5,600.13 · $7,758 · $54,069.56 (about 3 PSA 10 sales a year)
• Shadowless: $87 · $242.89 · $476.32 · $1,029.11 · $1,132 · $13,143.75 (about 5 PSA 10 sales a year)
• Unlimited: $40 · $94.50 · $165.06 · $397.10 · $437 · $4,125 (about 1 PSA 10 sale a week)
• 1999-2000 print: $22.53 · $90 · $148.08 · $390 · $429 · $5,174.16 (about 4 PSA 10 sales a year)

The 1999-2000 print, which PriceCharting describes as the fourth print run, is the cheapest raw but sits above Unlimited in PSA 10. That PSA 10 figure rests on about four sales a year, so one sale moves it; the Unlimited PSA 10 price, with a sale a week, is the steadier number.

Individual sales recorded by PriceCharting, which shows the spread behind the guide values:

• Unlimited, raw: $20 to $50, six sales on September 23, 2026
• Unlimited, PSA 9: $449.99 (July 30, 2026), $509.29 (August 26, 2026), $499.99 (August 28, 2026)
• Unlimited, PSA 10: $5,449.99 (July 25, 2026), $4,200 (August 2, 2026), $5,500 (August 4, 2026)
• 1st Edition, Near Mint raw: $345 on TCGplayer, September 1, 2026
• 1st Edition, raw, listed as Shadowless: $1,500 on eBay, July 17, 2026
• 1st Edition, PSA 10: $54,069.56 on eBay, April 5, 2026
• 1st Edition, German-language holo: $398.44 on eBay, June 24, 2026

That German copy sold below the English 1st Edition guide value, so check the language before using an English price.

• 1st Edition stamp: Wikipedia describes the first print as carrying an Edition 1 stamp; see the 1st Edition stamp for where it sits and what it looks like.
• No shadow on the art frame, no stamp: Shadowless. Wikipedia says these cards lack the drop shadow on the bottom and right border of the Pokémon's frame; the Unlimited print added it. See Shadowless cards.
• Shadow present, no stamp: Unlimited or the 1999-2000 print, which PriceCharting lists separately; the Shadowless page explains how to tell the two apart.
• A Mewtwo #10 from Base Set 2: a different set with its own price line, $34.99 raw and $5,100 in PSA 10 (PriceCharting, 2026-09-25). See Base Set 2.
• Gold metal: the Burger King promo, covered below.

Check these in that order: the stamp is worth more than the shadow, and the shadow more than the print year.

The gold Mewtwo is not a Base Set card. It is one of six 23-karat gold-plated cards Burger King sold for Pokémon: The First Movie, each in a large plastic Poké Ball with a certificate of authenticity (Wikipedia). PriceCharting numbers it #150, Mewtwo's Pokédex number, and values it, as of 2026-09-25, at:

• Raw: $22.83, about one sale a day
• Grade 9: $229.76 · Grade 9.5: $253
• PSA 10: $1,038.27 · CGC 10 Pristine: $1,121 · BGS 10: $1,350 · BGS 10 Black Label: $6,750, all rarely sold

Raw sales run from about $9.99 to $49.99 on eBay, with copies that still have the Poké Ball and certificate at the higher end (PriceCharting).

If your Mewtwo is not Base Set #10, it may be one of these. Raw / PSA 10, PriceCharting, 2026-09-25:

• Legendary Collection #29, Reverse Holo: $860 / $72,100
• Shining Mewtwo #109, Neo Destiny, 1st Edition: $1,790.35 / $35,990
• Expedition #20: $300 / $30,145
• Mewtwo EX #101, EX Ruby & Sapphire: $205.33 / $24,049.50
• Rocket's Mewtwo EX #99, EX Team Rocket Returns: $620 / $22,526.08
• Rocket's Mewtwo #14, Gym Challenge, 1st Edition: $402.39 / $9,300
• Mewtwo #3 Black Star Promo, the 1999 movie promo (70 HP): $23.43 / $1,434.07

The 1999 movie promo is the other common "1999 Mewtwo"; it is a promo, not a Base Set card, and is worth less than the Unlimited Base Set holo raw.

Only a clean one. Using PriceCharting's Unlimited values (2026-09-25), a grade 8 at $165.06 is about 4 times the $40 raw price, a grade 9 at $397.10 about 10 times, and a PSA 10 at $4,125 about 100 times. Grade 8 is the most traded grade, at about one sale a day, which suggests most submitted copies land there.

For a 1st Edition copy the case is stronger at every grade: even a grade 7 ($2,338) is about 4 times raw ($528.13). Before sending any card, check centering, corners, edges and the holo surface against our card grading guide.

Lay the card flat on a dark surface in daylight and photograph it straight on with the whole card in frame, then take a close-up of the art box and the area around it, where the 1st Edition stamp and the frame shadow are. Tilt the holo for a second shot and photograph the back. FoilLens reads the card name, set and number from the photo and shows a market reference range; the stamp, shadow and condition checks above decide which of the four price lines applies to your Mewtwo.
