Pokémon's 30th-Anniversary Blue Mew Sells for $20,000 as Pull Rate Speculation Hits 1-in-20,000

$20,000-plus was paid on eBay for a blue “RGB” Mew card just as the 30th-anniversary Pokémon TCG set reached stores.
The sale reflects a launch-day scramble for three ultra-rare Mew variants that collectors had initially suspected might be a hoax.
Pull-rate estimates are driving the frenzy: fans speculate the physical cards could be as scarce as 1 in 20,000 packs, while app code appears to show roughly 1 in 10,000.
Listings now range from four figures to as high as $150,000, though some full three-card sets are offered for less and early prices may fade once launch-week hype cools.
