The most valuable card of 30th Celebration is Mew G/RGB, an RGB Rare illustrated by YOSHIROTTEN. It currently sits at €4,369, just ahead of its sibling Mew B/RGB at €4,204. Released on 16 September 2026 in the Mega Evolution series, the set has 128 printed cards plus a run of secret rares, and it already shows a very clear hierarchy. All values in this article are market values for ungraded near mint cards on the English market, as of 8 November 2026. We priced 157 of the 162 cards considered, and left the single stamped card out of the ranking so that promo or staff variants do not distort the picture. Below you will find the full list of the most expensive cards of 30th Celebration, a closer look at the four leaders, PSA population data and practical advice before you buy.

The ranking of the 10 most valuable cards of 30th Celebration

The ranking is extremely concentrated. Mew G/RGB alone accounts for 47% of the €9,295 combined value of the top ten, and the two RGB Rare Mew cards together dwarf everything else. After them the drop is steep: Mew ex 152/128 at €160 leads a much more accessible group, and the entry point to the top ten is €53.77. Special Illustration Rare is the dominant rarity with 6 of the 10 places, while YOSHIROTTEN appears twice, signing both leaders.

The cards to know

Mew G/RGB

This RGB Rare by YOSHIROTTEN is number one in the set at €4,369. Mew, the Mythical Psychic-type Pokémon listed as number 151 in the National Pokédex, has always attracted collectors, and an anniversary set gives it extra weight. With a card at this level, buyers focus on provenance, surface condition and a trustworthy seller, because a small flaw represents a large sum of money. Many collectors also want the matching B/RGB card to keep the pair together.

Mew B/RGB

The second RGB Rare Mew, also by YOSHIROTTEN, ranks second at €4,204, very close to its counterpart. The narrow gap suggests the market treats the two versions almost as equals, so the choice often comes down to personal preference or completing the set of variants. The letter in the card number identifies the version, so check it carefully on any listing. As with the leader, high-resolution photos of the front, back and edges are essential before committing.

Mew ex 152/128

Third place goes to Mew ex 152/128, a Special Illustration Rare valued at €160. It is the most expensive card outside the RGB pair and, for most collectors, the realistic chase card of the set. Buyers of Special Illustration Rares pay close attention to centring and to print lines on the surface, as both affect value and grading potential. Mew ex is also the most submitted of the top cards at PSA, which says a lot about demand.

Gengar ex 154/128

Gengar ex 154/128 is fourth at €148, another Special Illustration Rare and only a short step behind Mew ex. Gengar, the Ghost and Poison-type evolution of Haunter, has a loyal following among long-time fans, which helps explain its strong position. Collectors interested in this card usually compare several copies side by side, since centring and corner sharpness can vary from one pack to the next. Clean edges and an unmarked surface make the difference.

PSA population of the top cards

PSA data confirms where the attention lies. Mew ex leads with 209 graded copies, followed by Gengar ex with 165 and Mewtwo ex with 137. Those totals remain modest, which means graded supply is still building only a few weeks after release.

Gem rates are high for all three, with the large majority of submissions reaching the top grade. That is reassuring about the quality of the print run, but it also means a gem mint label on these cards is less scarce than on sets that grade harder, so weigh the premium you pay for a slab carefully.

Tips to collect 30th Celebration

• For the two Mew RGB Rare cards, insist on clear photos of the front, back and all four corners, and buy only from sellers with a solid track record. At €4,369 and €4,204, no shortcut is worth the risk.
• Check the card number on every listing. G/RGB and B/RGB are distinct versions, and Mew ex, Mewtwo ex and Pikachu ex each appear twice in the top ten under different numbers.
• Look at centring first on Special Illustration Rares, then at corners and surface. It is the first thing graders and serious buyers scrutinise.
• Compare any doubtful copy with a known genuine card. Texture, font, colour saturation and the back print are the quickest tells for fakes, and high-value cards attract them.
• Keep grading for the cards where it clearly makes sense, such as the RGB Mew pair and the leading Special Illustration Rares. Near the €53.77 entry point, grading fees weigh much more heavily against the value of the card.
• Follow prices over a few weeks before buying, as the set is recent and the market is still settling.
