🔵 "Artistic Touch: 30th Anniversary Pikachu Figure Set" Revealed for China

Pokemon China will release the Artistic Touch: 30th Anniversary Pikachu Figure Set on September 16th for 88 yuan, about $13 a box. Each box contains one of 13 Pikachu figures, each emulating the artwork of a Pikachu card from 30th Celebration.

🔵 RGB Mew May Be the Rarest Card in "30th Celebration" at 1 in 20,000 Packs

A mysterious RGB Mew card may be the rarest pull in 30th Celebration. Content creator TheCardScience, citing an insider at card manufacturer Millennium Print Group, says it comes in three tinted variants at a pull rate of roughly 1 in 20,000 packs.

For scale, the Mega Hyper Rare Mega Zygarde ex from Perfect Order sits near 1 in 1,786 packs. Recent Futuristic Rare Mew and Mewtwo cards have already drawn early bids over $1,000 on eBay, and the rates will not be confirmed until packs open after the September 16th release.
