30th Celebration Chase Cards and Prices: The RGB Mews Lead

The 30th Celebration chase cards are three Mews that weren't on the checklist. Mew R/RGB is the most valuable card in the set at $4,824.92 raw Near Mint, with B/RGB at $4,041.75 and G/RGB at $3,581.00, and then there's a cliff: the next card down, Mew ex (152/128, Special Illustration Rare), is $84.67.

Every price in this post is a raw (ungraded) Near Mint market price in USD as of Oct 26, 2026, from trace's daily price data, unless we say otherwise. The set came out on September 16, 2026, so this is where things stand 40 days in.

30th Celebration at a glance

Every card in the set is foil, and more products are still on the way: Espeon ex and Umbreon ex battle decks on October 30, then the Ultra-Premium, Ditto Premium and Mew and Mewtwo Figure Collections on November 6 (TCGplayer). The Classic Collection cards have their own price guide.

The RGB Mews: 30th Celebration's secret chase cards

The three Mews (R/RGB, G/RGB and B/RGB, one for each color of the original Game Boy games) were left off the printed checklist and never shown in any reveal. Collectors found them by pulling them on camera, and official scans turned up in Pokémon TCG Live on September 15 (Rare Candy, news). All three are illustrated by YOSHIROTTEN and sit outside the set's numbering.

Nobody knows the pull rate. The Pokémon Company doesn't publish pack odds, and the community estimates range from about 1 in 3,000 packs to 1 in 20,000, with the 1 in 20,000 figure resting on a single unconfirmed video (Collector Nation, news). We wouldn't plan a box purchase around any of those numbers.

1. Mew R/RGB (30th Celebration)

$4,824.92 raw NM · See the card

The red Mew is the most valuable card in the set right now. Its three-day average price has come down from $6,000 in its first days on sale to $4,707 (−21.6%), and the cheapest Near Mint copy listed is $4,499.

2. Mew B/RGB (30th Celebration)

$4,041.75 raw NM · See the card

The blue Mew is the only one of the three that's gone up since launch in our data, from $1,703 to $4,042 on three-day averages (+137.4%). That launch figure looks low next to the reports from release week: Collector Nation cites an ungraded B/RGB that sold on eBay for just over $20,000 within hours of release. Very early prices on a card like this come from a tiny number of sales, so both numbers can be true at once.

3. Mew G/RGB (30th Celebration)

$3,581.00 raw NM · See the card

The green Mew has barely moved, from $3,599 to $3,581 on three-day averages (−0.5%). It was also one of the bigger gainers in the trace 100 this week, up from $3,091, so it dipped and came back.

Other price guides don't agree with ours on these, which is normal for cards with this few sales. Rare Candy's raw Near Mint figures on October 20 had B/RGB on top at $3,746.75, then R/RGB at $3,249.64 and G/RGB at $3,090.99 (Rare Candy). If you're pricing one of these, look at recent sold listings as well as any single guide.

The rest of the 30th Celebration chase cards

Mew ex (30th Celebration, 152/128, Special Illustration Rare)

$84.67 raw NM · See the card

The most valuable card you can find on the checklist. On three-day averages it's gone from $193.80 to $84.64 (−56.3%) since launch.

Gengar ex (30th Celebration, 154/128, Special Illustration Rare)

$64.80 raw NM · See the card

Gengar ex has followed almost exactly the same path as Mew ex, from $152.90 to $67.43 on three-day averages (−55.9%).

The rest of the top 12

We'd honestly call the Futuristic Rares the more interesting cards here, because the rarity is brand new and Mew ex 158/128 already sits level with Pikachu ex 149/128 on price.

If you're chasing these, scanning your pulls into a collection in trace checks them off the set list and shows you what each one is worth today.

How 30th Celebration has held up since launch

Our set curves treat each set's launch as 100 and track the median of its chase cards' prices against their own launch prices, smoothed over three days. 30th Celebration is at 38.3 after 40 days, so a typical chase card in the set is worth a bit under two fifths of what it sold for in the first days. The RGB Mews pull the dollar totals around a lot, which is why we use the median here.

Here's how other recent sets looked 40 days after their own release:

So 30th Celebration has dropped about as fast as Chaos Rising did and faster than Pitch Black. The Classic Collection subset has held up much better, at 74.0. Launch prices are often set before most people have opened any product, so a fall like this in the first six weeks is common for a new set.

Are 30th Celebration packs worth opening?

If you want a specific card, buy the single. Mew ex 152/128 is $84.67 and the Pikachu ex SIRs are under $60, while the cards that make opening packs exciting are the three RGB Mews, and nobody can tell you how rare they are.

If you're opening for fun, it's a lovely set to rip. Every card is foil, there's the Classic Collection to find, and the RGB Mews give every pack a tiny lottery-ticket feel. Just don't count on the Mew paying for the box.
