Price: $275.00
Umbreon Star from the Celebrations set, card number 17/17, sitting in a BGS 9.5 slab. This one’s a holo reprint in the Classic Collection subset. You know how those gold star cards from back in the day just have that presence? The artwork shows Umbreon lurking in the shadows with those piercing red eyes and the starry glow around it. That pose hits hard, like it’s about to vanish into the night. Simple but effective, especially with the foil popping under light.
On the card text side, it’s a Darkness type with 70 HP. Poké-Power is Dark Ray—once per turn, if it’s your Active, you can slap a damage counter on each of your opponent’s Pokémon that already has damage. Keeps the pressure on without much setup. Attacks are Feint Attack for 30 to any opponent’s Pokémon (ignores Weakness, Resistance, and effects), and Moon Impact for 50 straight up. Solid for mind games in a deck, letting you snipe benches or confuse the field.
Celebrations dropped in 2021 as part of the 25th anniversary, pulling in reprints of iconic cards from the past. This Umbreon Star stands out because it’s a nod to the ultra-rare POP Series 5 version from 2007, which was a promo nightmare to chase down. The Classic Collection kept the original art and text, but with that modern Celebrations stamp in the corner. Not every reprint captures the essence like this one does—it’s like holding a piece of TCG history without the hunt.
In the slab, BGS 9.5 means it’s got strong subgrades across the board, probably 9.5 or 10 on centering and edges, with clean surfaces that make the holo shine without distractions. Eye appeal is there; the colors pop deep and the foil doesn’t have that washed-out look some reprints get. Pop reports for BGS on this card are thin, but widely reported estimates put 9.5s and above in the low dozens—scarce enough that you don’t see them floating around every day.
I’d display this front and center in a case, maybe next to its Eeveelution siblings for that full moon vibe.
