The Mewtwo Holo 10/102 from the Pokémon Base Set Shadowless is one of the most iconic and sought-after cards in the history of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As a Holo Rare pull from the very first expansion released in 1999, this card represents the pinnacle of vintage Pokémon collecting. Featuring the legendary Psychic-type Pokémon Mewtwo in its striking holographic form, the artwork by Ken Sugimori captures the creature’s intense, otherworldly presence. The "Shadowless" designation refers to an early printing variation that lacks the gray border shadow found on later Unlimited prints, making it rarer and more desirable among collectors.

Mewtwo itself is a powerhouse both in lore and gameplay. Born from the DNA of Mew through genetic experimentation, it stands as Pokémon #150 and symbolizes the peak of artificial Pokémon creation. On the card, Mewtwo boasts two formidable attacks: "Psychic," which deals damage based on the number of Energy cards attached to the defending Pokémon, and "Barrier," which allows the player to discard a Psychic Energy to block all damage and effects during the opponent’s next turn. With 60 HP and a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy, it was a dominant force in early competitive play and remains a nostalgic favorite for fans of the original Base Set.

This Shadowless Holo version is especially prized due to its limited production window and historical significance. Cards from the Base Set, particularly shadowless holos of major Pokémon like Mewtwo, Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur, are cornerstones of any serious collection. The holographic foil pattern—featuring stars and subtle sparkle effects—adds to its visual appeal, while its status as a first-wave print elevates its value. Whether graded by PSA or BGS, or kept in pristine ungraded condition, the Mewtwo 10/102 Shadowless Holo is more than just a card—it’s a piece of gaming history, a symbol of the Pokémon phenomenon’s explosive debut, and a timeless treasure for collectors and fans alike.
