2021 POKEMON CELEBRATIONS CLASSIC COLL #17 UMBREON-GOLD STAR PSA 10 GEM MINT
Price: $394.99
Umbreon from the Celebrations set, part of the Classic Collection subset, ultra rare with that shiny gold star designation, slabbed in a PSA 10. This one’s a reprint of the iconic 2007 POP Series 5 version, but with the 25th anniversary stamp making it fresh for modern collectors.
The artwork nails it—Umbreon lurking in shadows, eyes glowing red against a starry night backdrop, that sleek black fur popping with subtle holo shine. It’s got this mysterious vibe, like it’s about to vanish into the dark.
On the card text, it’s a Darkness-type Stage 1 evolution from Eevee, clocking in at 70 HP. Ability? None listed, but attacks are solid: Feint Attack does 30 damage to any of your opponent’s Pokémon without applying weakness or resistance, sneaky as heck. Then Dark Ray hits for 50, but you discard one Energy from each player’s Active Pokémon—total mind game move.
Celebrations dropped in 2021 to mark Pokémon’s big 25 years, and this Umbreon stands out in the Classic Collection because it’s pulling from those rare promo series vibes. The original POP 5 print was a tough pull back in the day, tied to league events and such, but this reprint keeps the gold star flair while being more accessible in packs. It’s a nod to Delta Species era mechanics too, with that delta symbol hinting at the metal-type influences from back then.
For the slab, PSA 10 means pristine edges, no whitening, and centering that’s dead on—probably 9.5 or better subs across the board. Eye appeal is high with that foil star bursting out, no haze or scratches marring the holo. Pop reports show around 800 graded in 10 by PSA last I checked, not super rare but still a clean chase for completionists.
I’d tuck this one in a display case next to other Eeveelutions, just to watch the shadows play.
