Meowth

# Meowth — McDonald's Collection 2016 This Meowth represents a specific moment in Pokemon's promotional history when McDonald's distributed cards alongside meal purchases. These fast-food promos occupy an interesting space for collectors—they're official products with legitimate print runs, yet they lack the prestige of booster box cards. Collectors typically view McDonald's cards as accessible entry points or nostalgic keepsakes rather than serious collection anchors. The 2016 timeframe places it among numerous similar promotions from that era, making individual cards relatively common in the secondary market. Most collectors either pursue complete McDonald's sets as thematic projects or ignore them entirely. Their modest value reflects this middle ground: they're genuine Pokemon cards worth keeping, but they don't command collector premiums the way rare vintage or tournament-legal cards do.
