The ranking in detail
1 to 3. Mew RGB: the crown jewels
The blue, red and green Mew RGB are the undisputed top chase cards of the set. They are the rarest and most desirable cards of M6a, and the only ones worth thousands of francs. They also saw the biggest swings since release, so always check recent sales before buying.
4. Charizard 137/103
The Classic Collection reprint of Charizard is the most expensive card outside the Mew RGB trio. Charizard is Pokémon's most iconic collectible, and the nostalgia of a 30th anniversary set does the rest.
5. Lugia 142/103
Lugia is a long-time collector favourite and is almost level with Charizard. Its crystal-type design brings back the e-Card era.
6. Pikachu ex SAR 127/103
The Special Art Rare Pikachu ex is one of the most attractive illustrations of the set. The mascot of the franchise always keeps strong demand. Its sister card, Pikachu ex SAR 126/103, follows closely.
7 and 9. Mew ex and Mewtwo ex FUR (135/103 and 134/103)
FUR (Futuristic Rare) is the new rarity of this set, reserved for two cards: Mew ex and Mewtwo ex. Their striking futuristic artwork makes them favourites of modern collectors.
8. Mew ex 129/103 SAR
The SAR version of Mew ex, with its flowery forest scene, is one of the best-looking cards of the set.
10. Magikarp 165/103
Magikarp rounds out the top 10. Its waterfall illustration is the highest-numbered card of the set and a favourite of artwork collectors.
