2021 POKEMON CELEBRATIONS CLASSIC COLL #17 UMBREON-GOLD STAR PSA 10
Price: $362.16
Umbreon from the Celebrations set, part of the Classic Collection subset, clocks in as an ultra rare Gold Star card, slabbed in a PSA 10.
That artwork nails the moody vibe—Umbreon lurking in shadows with those glowing rings, like it’s about to vanish into the night. Simple but striking, especially with the gold star shining up top.
On the text side, it’s a Darkness type with 70 HP. Ability is Dark Ray, which lets you discard a card from your opponent’s hand if you have Espeon in play—nasty combo potential. Attacks include Feint Attack for 30 damage to any of your opponent’s Pokémon, ignoring Weakness and Resistance, and Moon Impact for 50 straight up. Solid for a stage 1 evo from Eevee.
This printing dropped in 2021 as part of Pokémon’s 25th anniversary bash in the Celebrations set. What stands out is it’s a faithful reprint of the original Umbreon Gold Star from POP Series 5 back in 2007, which was a promo beast and super tough to pull. Celebrations brought it back with that holofoil shine intact, making it accessible for newer collectors while nodding to the old school. The set itself was a mix of modern packs and these classic reprints, stuffed into special boxes—kinda like digging through a time capsule at a card shop.
Slab-wise, a PSA 10 means pristine corners, edges, and surface—no dings or whitening to speak of. Centering on these can vary, but a gem mint often shows that near-perfect 50/50 split, giving it killer eye appeal under lights. The gold star pops against the black background, and the holo pattern doesn’t overwhelm. Pop reports put PSA 10s for this one around 1,200 last I checked, which isn’t sky-high for a modern reprint but still respectable given the demand for Eeveelutions.
I’d stash this in a display case next to its Espeon counterpart—talk about a shadowy duo that just vibes.
