Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex #281 — booked at $821.29 on 2026-07-15

Summary

Team Rocket's Mewtwo Ex #281 from Ascended Heroes cleared the screen on 2026-07-15 and was booked at $821.29, the PriceCharting PSA 10 index reading for that date. Population and gem rate on this reconstructed issue are cohort estimates, not PSA-sourced figures.

Rationale

Reconstructed issue. Entry is booked from PriceCharting evidence carried on 2026-07-15 itself: PriceCharting's monthly PSA 10 index read at that date, because the individual sales table no longer reaches back that far. PSA population: 6881 graded (requirement ≥ 50 graded copies) — pass. PSA 10 gem rate: 26.5% (requirement ≤ 30%) — pass. Trading volume: 2014 sales / 12 months (requirement ≥ 120 recorded PSA 10 sales / 12 months) — pass. Set age window: 7 months since release (requirement 6–18 months since release) — pass. Character durability: Blue-chip character (requirement Durable or blue-chip subject) — pass. Print scarcity: Holo (requirement Holo or better — bespoke prints rank higher) — pass. PSA 10 float growth: Not yet measurable (requirement Not diluting (≤ 60% annualised)) — pass. This is a chase card in Ascended Heroes, a set far enough past release for the grading wave to have settled. Population and gem rate on this reconstructed issue are cohort estimates, not PSA-sourced figures.

Risk notes

This is a reconstructed historical issue, not a live call made on the day. Population and gem rate are modelled where PSA data is unavailable, so the scarcity side of the screen is weaker than on a live pick. Pokémon card values are highly speculative and can decline significantly. Not financial advice.
