PSA GEM 10 MINT Umbreon VMAX 173/132 cs4aC Alt Hyper Art Pokemon “Moonbreon”
Price: $1,253.99
Umbreon VMAX number 173 out of 132, from that standout alternate art printing, sitting pretty in a PSA 10 slab. This one’s got the hyper rare vibe, all dark and mysterious like Umbreon should be.
The artwork? Man, it’s that full-moon glow with Umbreon leaping out, stars scattering everywhere—hits like a nighttime ambush in the best way.
On the card text side, it’s a Darkness type with 310 HP. Ability is Dark Signal, letting you switch your opponent’s active Pokémon with one from their bench when you evolve into this bad boy. Attacks include Max Darkness for 160 damage, which ramps up if you’ve got V Pokémon in play. Solid for those aggressive dark decks.
This printing dropped in 2021 as part of the Sword & Shield era, specifically tied to the Eevee Heroes set in Japanese, but it’s the English Evolving Skies equivalent that blew up. What makes it stand out? That alternate hyper art treatment—fans call it “Moonbreon” for the ethereal, cosmic feel. It’s not your standard illustration; it’s got that premium flair with the foil and details popping under light. Released during a boom in VMAX cards, it captured the evolution theme perfectly, especially for Eevee fans chasing all the eeveelutions.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means gem mint perfection: edges sharp as a Tackle attack, no whitening, corners pristine. Centering’s likely dead-on, maybe 9.5 or better subgrades across the board, giving it killer eye appeal— that moonlit scene just shines through the case without a flaw. Pop reports put PSA 10s for this alt art around 250-300 last I checked, keeping it rare enough to turn heads in any collection. Not many make the grade with that intricate holo pattern.
I’d stash this one in a shadowbox, letting the moonlight vibe light up the room on quiet nights.
