My following comments are speculation, but: The card designs could have been approved around the same time period as the first wave of 1996 cards, the contract could have enforced the release date of 1997 to stagger product hitting the market, the contract could have stipulated mew was to be withheld until approved, or indefinitely, or permission triggered by some other event such as a sales target

Library and Hand are hidden zones, and they remain such even if an effect reveals cards in them to all players (Telepathy)

Play Boosters will sell for the same price as Set Boosters
