His body of work includes some of the most memorable cards of the EX era, and his unmistakable approach gives this little promotional Mew tremendous character.⸻🎨 The ArtworkRather than depicting Mew simply floating against an abstract background, Fukuda places the Mythical Pokémon within a rich natural environment.The deep greens surrounding Mew contrast beautifully against its soft purple Psychic-type card design, creating exactly the kind of artwork that rewards being given a bespoke presentation.It may carry an ACE 1, but visually, there’s an enormous amount to love here.⸻📈 PopulationPOP 1At the time of listing, this example stands alone within its ACE population.There’s something particularly fitting about that. An unusual Japanese promotional Mew, more than two decades old, preserved exactly as it survived rather than pretending those years never happened.Sometimes the lowest grades tell the best stories.⸻💎 Mystic GrailGuard PresentationThis slab is finished with a BlendIt two-tone Mystic Green & Purple GrailGuard, selected specifically around the colours of the complete presentation.The green flows beautifully from the jungle-inspired ACE label, before transitioning into purple to complement Mew and the Psychic Energy colouring of the original card.Rather than simply protecting the slab, the GrailGuard effectively frames the entire piece, tying label, artwork and card design together.⸻🔑 Collector’s NoteA 2005 Japanese McDonald’s Mew, illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda, preserved in an unusual ACE 1 POP 1 grade and finished with a perfectly coordinated Mystic GrailGuard.Not every vintage card needs to be Gem Mint.
