Description

This is the highly sought-after 2001 Southern Islands Mew Holo Promo #1 (English)—a centerpiece card from one of the most unique Pokémon releases ever produced. Mew’s status as a top-tier collectible plus the Southern Islands theme makes this an instant standout in any vintage lineup.

Graded PSA 5 (EX), this card remains very desirable because Southern Islands holos are notoriously difficult to find clean: the holo surface shows wear easily, and these promos were originally distributed in a binder-style product (not typical booster-pack pulls), meaning many surviving copies have handling or storage wear. A certified PSA 5 is an excellent “sweet spot” for collectors who want authenticity, strong display appeal, and real scarcity without paying the premium for higher grades.

About the Southern Islands English Release

Southern Islands was a limited English promotional release from the early WotC era, sold as a complete binder set rather than randomized packs. The English version combined the two Japanese subsets into a single curated collection of 18 cards (including 6 holographic) and is remembered for its postcard-style artwork and tropical storytelling theme. It is also known for featuring Generation II Pokémon with Generation I card backs, a unique crossover detail that adds to its appeal.
