At this point in time, I was too lazy/impatient to take nice pictures of my cards. Will be fixed eventually!
Catch Mew!
Ah, my Mew TCG Collection. When I decided I wanted to collect some of Mews cards, I originally wanted to just get the English ones, because I figured I would never be able to get my hands on the beautiful Japanese ones at a decent (cheap) price. However, I had a bunch of luck with them, so I decided to go for them all! However, I collect only one of each card / the English version if applicable. Getting all the releases would kill my wallet! I'm currently missing 3 rare Japanese cards, and waiting to see if Mew Prime makes its way into an English release before I seek out the Japanese version instead. I've also been told that the Japanese Pokemon Cards are much better quality than their English counterparts, but I like being able to read the attacks and such XD; Oh well.
I was VERY cheap with getting all these cards. Sometimes I waited for months to get a certain card, even though it was all over eBay. I used to keep a Word Document open with ending prices of every relevant card that passed through eBay :P I was determined to get great deals on these guys, because the money added up very quickly. The most I spent on a card was about $12.99 shipped, for the Mew *. I wish I could afford to buy the expensive ones! Another thing I should mention is that the majority of these cards are in Mint condition, and the few others are Near Mint. Anyway, onto the cards!

Shining Mew - CoroCoro Promo
I really need to take those better pictures soon, because this card is beautiful and the picture here doesn't do it justice. I always loved this card, and pretty much knew I would never be able to get it. My "Shining Mew" name actually did NOT come from card surprisingly, but after I realized it was called "Shining Mew" I wanted it even more! (My name came from my old email from when I was a kid, shiningstar244, and since I was signing up for a Pokemon forum I wanted to incorporate my favorite Pokemon. Obviously I was so incredibly creative. But it worked out very well because I love shiny Mew!) I can't even tell you how excited I was when I logged in one night to see viper_fox had posted a massive Japanese Promo Card Sales post that had a CoroCoro Shining Mew in there that came out to $10.20 shipped. I was flipping out! It wasn't overly expensive like the ones on eBay! I could afford this one! I am soooo thankful that I had the opportunity to grab one of the 5 before they sold out. This card is one of my 3 favorites, if you couldn't tell ;)
Mew * - Dragon Frontiers 101/101
Another crappy picture of a beautiful card. I love the blue Mews, and I really love the holo style of this card. A shiny, shiny Mew! I waited for MONTHS before I found one for a good price. I spent a little bit more than I usually would for this card, but it was totally worth it. I got it a few days after I got home from my Spring `10 semester, and after all the stress and finals I went through, it was really great to receive something in the mail that I had been after for so long that I really really wanted. Yup, this card is another of my 3 favorites. Thank you eBay!
Tree of Beginnings Mew - 10th Movie Commemoration Set
AHHHHHHHH. Cutest card I have. Look at the face! The final card in my favorite trio. I didn't expect to get this guy either, but a user named orangegarchomp from pkmncollectors hosted a Group Auction for the whole set, and I had the winning bid of $7! And then there were great discounts! I was so excited that I got this sucker for such a fantastic price. Thank god for GAs! How come the Japanese exclusives get all the adorable art huh? :P
Mew - Legend Maker 10/92
My boyfriend got this one for me before I started to actively collect anything! He is such a sweet heart <3
Mew EX - Legend Maker 88/92
Another eBay get. I don't have any fun stories for this one.. it was cheap, so I snagged it XD
Mew EX - Holon Phantoms 100/110
Got this guy from a super nice seller on pkmncollectors. Included was an index card with a cute sketch of Mew and a little note wishing me luck on my collection hunting. Awww! I thought that was so incredibly sweet. The sketch can be see in the Misc. section in my group shot of drawings people have made for me :)
Mew - Southern Islands 1/18
Love the art of this whole collection! This card was a cheap BIN on eBay. It was actually for two, so there's actually another one in that card case.
Mew - Wizards Black Star Promo 47
This one I actually bought from a very nice member from PokeBeach!
Mew - Pokemon Rumble 10/16
I got the whole boxed set off eBay for a total shipped price that was less than the retail price in the store lol. Really cute cards, and my boyfriend and I made up our own game with the rest of the stuff in the box :P
Mew - POP 4 Series Promo 4/17
This and my Large TOMY Mew figure were my 2nd purchase from pkmncollectors!
Mew - Holon Phantoms 111/110
Came from eBay
Ancient Mew Promo
Got this from the movie.. I was one happy little kid that day :P I put it in a display case for years XD
Mew - Wizards Black Star Promo 8
When I was little, I someone acquired that ripped out picture of Mew from Pokemon Stadium, and its been sitting in this card's plastic sleeve ever since.
Mew - Wizards Black Star Promo 9
Actually got this one with the Derp Mew plush I found on eBay lol.
Mew - Secret Wonders 15/132
Another eBay card.
Mew - POP 5 Series 3/17 Error (Upside Down Back)
This card I actually got in one of those silly "WITH BONUS PROMO" packs from Walmart. I was "that guy" (or I supposed "that girl") who stood in the aisle and shook the packaging and squinted sideways to see what promo card was hidden behind the pack. Hah.
Mew - Expedition Base Set 55/165
Got this one from my friend allinia :D
Mew - Nintendo Black Star Promo 40
Another eBay get.
Rota's Mew - 8th Movie Half Deck 2/20
Here it is, my very first purchase from pkmncollectors, and the first use of my Paypal account! I was a total oblivious idiot and sent the money as an eCheck. I'm very thankful that pacificpikachu was so patient with me! I haven't really seen this card around too much, so I'm glad I got it when I had the chance!
Mew - McDonalds Promo 2005 085/PCG-P
This one came from a Group Auction on pkmncollectors.
_____'s Mew
Oh boy. This damn card has a history. In short, I won a mint one off eBay in February 2010 for about $9.60 shipped, and I never got it. Waited 42 days for it, and eventually got a full refund. Since then Ive seen a few up for auction or sale, but always around $30 which is totally beyond my "card budget". I really thought I would never get a chance at this card again. Now here we are in September 2010 and with a massive stroke of luck, I won a mint/near mint one for $15 shipped on eBay! (Then of course, in my excitement I accidentally submitted the wrong address, and had to message the seller to change it XP). Finally, I have this card in hand (literally)!
Mew - Vending Machine Series 00
This came from eBay too, but the cool thing about this card is that the front is glossy!
Field Worker - Legend Maker 73/92
Yup, that would be Mew in the tree.
Pokemon Fan Club - POP 4 Series
From a card site.
