Espeon shares the devoted Eeveelution fanbase (and many of the same sets) as Umbreon, and its best cards are genuinely valuable. Here are the ones worth owning — with the cheapest raw copy and the cheapest PSA 10 on eBay for each.
1. Espeon Gold Star (POP Series 5, 2007)
The vintage grail. The Gold Star Espeon was a rare POP Series 5 promo and is one of the most coveted Eeveelution cards — extremely valuable in high grade.
2. Espeon ex Special Illustration Rare (Prismatic Evolutions)
The modern chase — Espeon's special illustration rare from the Eeveelution-themed Prismatic Evolutions set rides the same mania that made the Umbreon ex SIR explode.
3. Espeon V / VMAX Alternate Art (Evolving Skies, 2021)
The Evolving Skies Espeon alt arts are beautiful, sought-after chases from the same beloved set as Moonbreon.
4. Espeon GX (Burning Shadows, 2017)
The Espeon GX, including the rainbow secret rare, is a popular and attainable modern hold.
5. Espeon Prime (Call of Legends, 2011)
A beloved older fan-favorite that pairs with the Umbreon Prime — strong nostalgia and steady value, especially graded.
Raw or PSA 10?
Raw is the affordable way to collect; a PSA 10 commands a premium and is the store of value for the grails like the Gold Star. Buying raw to grade? Read how to grade and check the grading calculator.
Prismatic Evolutions (home of the Espeon ex SIR) sells out fast — catch it at retail with QuickCatch. Espeon fan? See the best Umbreon cards too.
