# Mewtwo #12 — Wizards Black Star Promos

## Summary

Mewtwo is the Gen I fan favorite with a following that never fades, and this Wizards-era promo gets its pull from that name and from Christopher Rush, whose work belongs to the earliest days of the game. Promos never competed with pulls from packs, so demand here is pure collector affection. At a $149 modelled guide, down 1% over 30 days on 36 copies traded, with 546 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.34 out of Stellar Crown; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $4,650 and a 13% observed gem rate putting about $340 of expected profit per submission.
