What is Umbreon V worth?
Umbreon V is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Evolving Skies's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Evolving Skies holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Umbreon V before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Umbreon V comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Umbreon V can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting Umbreon V
When you go to buy Umbreon V, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Umbreon V, so price the specific copy in front of you.
