Legendaries hold a special place in thePokemon TCG, regarded as impactful Pokemon who warrant incredible artwork and high prices. Some ofthe most valuable legendary Pokemon, like Entei, fetch high sums in the TCG, with a collection of gorgeous cards.
Similarly, Mewtwo boasts an impressive batch of expensive vintage and modern Pokemon TCG cards from a variety of sets, as this Generation One favorite stands out as one of the most recognizable Pokemon ever. From valuable first-edition classics to some attention-grabbing shiny versions, these are the most valuable Mewtwo cards.
Cards are valued according to theirTCGPlayerMarket Price,which you mightpay for a near-mintcopy of the (first edition, where applicable) cards below.
Given their age and rarity,sale prices are vastly different depending on condition,so this is just a rough idea of the card’s value.
9Mewtwo Lv. X: Legends Awakened (Ultra Rare) – $102.15
Awakening The Beast
This Mewtwo gets things off to a strong start with a triple-digit value to set the standard for the best Mewtwo cards ever. This underappreciated gem rarely comes to mind among the most popular Mewtwo cards in the Pokemon TCG, but it offers one of the most vibrant and beautiful depictions of Mewtwo.
This gem from Legends Awakened is hard to come by, with only a handful of sales on TCGPlayer, with near-mint (NM) copies commanding close to $100. If you’re fine settling for lightly played (LP), moderately played (MP), or heavily played (HP) copies, then theprice will decrease, ranging from $18 to $50.
8Mewtwo GX: Shining Legends (Secret Shining) – $145.21
Testing The Waters
This modern Mewtwo masterpiece captures the dangerously powerful Psychic Pokemon in a particularly vulnerable position, with this depiction of Mewtwo in its tank offering a new perspective.
While there’s no telling what’s about to happen with Mewtwo and the tank in the moments after, there’s no denying that Mewtwo’s power likely can’t be contained by a thin layer of glass.
This card has seen absurdly high peaks and dangerously low valleys, as it now sits comfortably toward the higher end of that spectrum.Mewtwo continues to creep back up toward the $160 range,but it will have to settle for a solid placement at $145, just a few dollars shy of the next card.
7Mewtwo & Mew GX: Unified Minds (Secret Rare) – $149.59
Double The Mew
This dynamic duo will forever be linked from their name to their DNA, as Mew and Mewtwo form an unlikely partnership on this colorful card.
While Rainbow Secret Rares might excite you as quickly as they might repulse you, theartwork perfectly personifies these Pokemon,reflecting their personalities in their quintessential poses.
This is one ofthe most valuable cards from Unified Minds, and like many of the cards in that set, it experienced a massive jump in value, followed by a catastrophic collapse. Its fall from the $180 range has been steep, and there’s no clear momentum taking it back toward that plateau.
6Mewtwo: Expedition (Holo Rare) – $170.08
Rising Above The Crowd
The Expedition Mewtwo is one of the most unusual Mewtwo artworks of all time, as this pose is almost comical in how grandiose it seems, as Mewtwo prepares agrand jeteinto battle.
This majestic Mewtwo highlights the Psychic-type Pokemon, using the contrasting darker background to give Mewtwo the full spotlight.
While this card sells very often, it’s frequently in poor condition, as LP copies command a strong base at around $150, withNM cards soaring upward from there when you’re lucky enough to find them.
5Rocket’s Mewtwo: Gym Challenge (Holo Rare) – $187.51
Team Rocket’s First Attempt
The first Rocket’s Mewtwo on this list errs on the side of caution with a classic depiction of Mewtwo over a primarily black background that makes the Pokemon the focal point yet again.
As is customary,the most expensive cards from Gym Challengeare first-edition versions.
A first-edition Rocket’s Mewtwo will run you anywhere from$90to over $200, with the lower end only coming into play if you’re able to accepta damaged copy.However, NM copies are rare and will command over $200 easily when they pop up, so prepare to spend a bit more than the market price for a perfect card.
4Shining Mewtwo: Neo Destiny (Secret Rare) – $238.50
Reaching For Greatness
Neo Destiny’s classic muted shining Pokemon holographic pattern perfectly fits Mewtwo’s shadowy nature and mysterious origins. This artwork has become synonymous withNeo Destiny, along with the Shining Charizard – two of the most desirable cards from the set.
Shining Mewtwo is arguably the rares Mewtwo card to track down of any on this list, with no recent first-edition sales recorded on TCGPlayer. Unfortunately, there are no sales to bring this card’s first edition market price in line with reality, but you can reference the$950 listing for an LP copy and $1,200 for NMas points to project the possible value.
3Mewtwo Star: Holon Phantoms (Ultra Rare) – $249.99+
A Shining Example
Holon Phantoms is one ofthe crown jewels of the EX era of Pokemon, featuring a gorgeous array of “Star” shiny Pokemon, like this Mewtwo. This shiny Mewtwo features one of the earliest versions of this Pokemon’s shiny sprite, as the official current color, green, was introduced later.
The original shiny color palettes were determined based on the color that was directly adjacent to the Pokemon’s original palette on the coded color gradient.
Unfortunately, no NM copies of this card have sold recently, with some listings for clean copies hovering around the $1,250 mark. While it’s hard to accurately guess what the next sale may be, damaged copies set the market price around $250, but you should expect to pay far more given thatan HP copy sold for about $550.
2Rocket’s Mewtwo Ex: Team Rocket Returns (Ultra Rare) – $265.82
An Untamed Force
This Rocket’s Mewtwo ex makes its mark with a fierce design that gives us an unusually vicious depiction of Mewtwo. Team Rocket is known for their criminal plans and unscrupulous deeds, so there’s no telling what they might have done to make Mewtwo as mad as it seems to be.
The other version of Rocket’s Mewtwo barely shows any change from Mewtwo’s usual appearance.
You won’t find this card in NM condition very often, asLP is the standard,with multiple sales within the$255 to $295 range,depending on the copy.
1Mewtwo: Base Set (Holo Rare) – $691.99+
An All-Time Great
The original Mewtwo card from the base set claims the crown for the most expensive Mewtwo card ever, with the first-edition version commanding a large premium over Shadowless and Unlimited copies. Mewtwo takes center stage in this artwork, as we see a sprite-like depiction of Kanto’s powerful legendary Pokemon.
Condition is always important for vintage cards, but this card’s price changes dramatically depending on how clean the copy is, ranging from as low as $279 for an HP copy, while anNM card will run you closer to the $900 range,according to some sales.
