A Mew chase pauses at the balcony
Korean creator Nodoli opens Japanese 30th CELEBRATION at the card shop Geumbit Museum in this original video, published September 17, 2026. He wants the Mew SAR from the outset and later celebrates finding the card he came for. We followed a smaller detour inside that larger chase: two Meowth artworks that revisit the same balconies at different times of day.
07:58 — the windows are lit
Near the end of the first box, the actual closeup shows Japanese Alolan Meowth, M6a 115/103 AR. Blue evening light surrounds the balconies and air-conditioning units. The creator calls attention to the nighttime scene and mentions a daytime counterpart. Alolan Meowth is a separate card and regional form, not a selectable time-of-day finish of the later Meowth.
20:07 — daylight returns to the same place
The later closeup shows Japanese Meowth, M6a 120/103 AR. Familiar windows, railings and outdoor units sit beneath a bright sky while Meowth lounges over a balcony. Remembering the night scene makes the surrounding laundry and architecture worth another look. We read these as different moments in the same setting, rather than forcing the cards into a single panorama.
Two printings, two dated references
We checked the artwork in the footage and source, then matched TCGIndex’s Japanese language, M6a set, number and Art Rare metadata. The site’s generic reference image does not override the actual printing. This gives US JustTCG references of $3.55 for Alolan Meowth 115/103 and $5.26 for Meowth 120/103. Both observations are November 4, 2026, for Near Mint, Holofoil - Japanese. We checked the content November 5. These are market references, not completed sales, available offers or appraisals of the cards held in the video. English Delta Reign cards with matching numbers are separate printings.
A chase and an album can coexist
This is not a Meowth-only opening. Nodoli also counts Pikachu numbers while waiting for Mew and works toward filling the missing spaces. The official product describes thirty Pikachu cards by thirty illustrators. His particular boxes and prices discussed in the September video do not establish general pull rates, current values or guaranteed returns. We selected these two cards because the real reveals make a small visual story inside that bigger opening.
Which page matches your day?
An exciting chase and a quiet look at a drawing belong in the same hobby. These two cards reward a closer look than a name-only search: nighttime windows or a lazy daylight stretch?
