APokemon TCGfan was incredibly lucky to pull a Mew ex card from a mini tin.Pokemon TCGplayers always look for the rarest and most impressive cards to add to their collections. But while getting these cards is no easy task, it’s not uncommon for them to pop up in unexpected situations.
There’s no shortage of stories of rare finds, like thePokemon TCGplayer who pulled a Charizard EXfull art from a single pack of theScarlet and Violet 151set, or the player who discovered Iono, one of the most coveted cards from thePaldea Evolvedexpansion, in a garbage can at their work. A third player made the headlines, this time for getting three full art cards from the Bulbasaur evolutionary line in a single package, including a Venusaur EX. This time anotherPokemon TCGplayer has made the news, and their pull is even more impressive.
Redditor Harryprk2x was surprised when they pulled the Mew ex card from a mini tin. They say they tried to buy theSurging Sparksexpansion but were unsuccessful, as it was out of stock. Instead, they got eight mini tins from thePaldean Fatesset, pulling out the ex variant of the Mythical Pokemon from Kanto in an impressive illustration. Signed by the artist known as USGMEN, the card depicts the Psychic-type inside an energy sphere, showing other Pokemon like Poliwag and Oddish with a more cartoonish flair.
