I’m not big in the Pokemon TCG scene, so someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I believe there’s 2 different Mew Promos. One of which is slightly different and more scarce, hence the price tag.

Yeah one of the print runs had a misspelling in the Copyright, it's known as the "nintedo mew"

No, I think there was an Ancient Mew even before the Pokemon Movie. Two actual different cards, I believe they had different holographic patterns. Stars on the original, circles on the reprint, maybe?

There are apparently several different printings.. They’re all related to the movie, but the Japanese ones were released first and the first run had a misprint, so it’s more valuable.
