Case study: Base Set Mewtwo +136% on real volume, riding the anniversary and Mewtwo's spot in the 30th-anniversary marketing
One of the most liquid vintage holos in our data (245 NM sales in 52 weeks) went from $39 to $92. It rose steadily from January to April ($48 to $77), held around $70-79 over the summer, and jumped again in early September ($78 to $92 on 10 sales) just before the 30th Celebration set launched.
- Backdrop: the 30th-anniversary rally lifted most Wizards-era holos (median vintage card +87% in our data). The rise started in January, before any specific announcement.
- Likely catalyst: The Pokemon Company's 27 February anniversary announcement teased 'exciting images of Mewtwo, Mew', and the 30th Celebration set (16 September) introduced a new 'Futuristic rare' Mewtwo. The September jump lines up with that release, but no source ties it directly to this card.
- Why it moved more than its peers: it started cheap for a first-generation icon, so new collectors could buy in at under $50.
Lesson. In a broad vintage rally, cheap iconic holos with deep liquidity can beat the headline cards in percentage terms. Volume makes the move more trustworthy than thin-market spikes.
