About Umbreon in the Pokémon world
The Dark Eeveelution. Black silhouette with yellow rings. The undisputed favorite Eeveelution. Across every era, Umbreon cards command the highest collector demand of any Eeveelution. Umbreon VMAX Alt Art from Evolving Skies is one of the most expensive modern Pokémon cards. The Neo Discovery 1st Edition Umbreon holo is the vintage benchmark.
What is Umbreon worth?
Umbreon is a non-holo Rare. In Skyridge, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Umbreon 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 Umbreon before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On Umbreon, look at the corners and the framed border first. Non-holo Rares took more handling than the chase holos, so a sharp, centered copy of Umbreon in a true PSA 10 is harder to find than the print run suggests.
If you are collecting Umbreon
For Umbreon, 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 Umbreon can make sense.
