promo mew

[matsyku]

i was just looking through my old pokemon cards and saw that i had a mew with a little promo star on the right side of the card. can someone tell what promo means exactly, im not really sure.

Its a "Promotion Card" meaning it doesnt belong to any specific series and I think they are worth less. You usually find them at the old movie premiers and at Burger King but its been a while.

That Mew...those usually came from various promotions or Pokemon League. Somehow the Nintendo building in my area had them for free and I was getting my DS repaired and aquired about...18?
I've given some away, but still have 15 left...

I think (correct me if I'm wrong but) the Promo Mew and Mewtwo were released with the first Pokemon movie. Pokemon The Movie. The one where there were a bunch of cloned Pokemon-s and Mewtwo was cloned from Mew. I know for sure that the Promo Mewtwo was because I got one with the VHS that I got for Christmas that year. And, I think some theatres were even giving them out to people who went to see the movie. I'm almost positive I got my promo Mew when I did just that.

Regardless, promos are basically worthless because they're easy to obtain and nearly everyone has one.
