Meowth’s place in thePokemon TCGis unusual, as this Pokemon occasionally doubles as a talking mascot in the anime, but most other Meowth you’ll encounter won’t have such a unique ability. However, the best cards in the Pokemon TCG are full of surprises, and Meowth has a few unexpectedly rare cards to enjoy.
As one of the original 151 from Kanto, Meowth carries a nostalgic association that gives it an impressive allure among collectors.

These valuable Meowth cards won’t break the bank, but their values still stand out as solid, despite a lack of top-tier depictions.

Promo cards are one of the biggest wild cards in the Pokemon TCG, as they can either soar in value or stagnate close to their original price. However, certain rare promos are scarcely seen on the open market, much like thisBuild-A-Bear Workshop-exclusive Meowth promo card.
There aren’t many recent sales on TCGplayer, but a damaged copy sold for 99 cents, while two lightly played(LP)cards commanded a shade above $7.60 each. Unfortunately, there aren’t any sales in near-mint(NM)condition to indicate a potential price ceiling, so Meowth has room to grow from its solid current market price with the help of some more sales data.
