About Espeon in the Pokémon world
The Psychic Eeveelution. Sleek lavender silhouette. One of the most beloved Eeveelution designs. Neo Discovery holo Espeon is one of the most-collected Generation 2 holos. Modern reprints (Evolving Skies VMAX, Prismatic Evolutions ex) drive sustained collector interest.
What is Espeon worth?
Espeon is a non-holo Rare. In Aquapolis, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Espeon trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Espeon before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Espeon grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Espeon is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Espeon
For Espeon, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Espeon can make sense.
