Pokemon Celebrations Umbreon Gold Star #17 Classic Collection PSA 10 Gem Mint
Price: $375.00
Umbreon Gold Star from the Celebrations set, ultra rare, sitting pretty in a PSA 10 slab. This one’s card #17 in the Classic Collection subset, a faithful reprint of the original from POP Series 5.
That artwork? Umbreon lurking in the shadows with those glowing rings and piercing red eyes, like it’s about to pounce on some unsuspecting trainer’s team. The gold star emblem shines through, giving it that mysterious vibe that just draws you in.
On the text side, it’s a Darkness-type with 70 HP. Ability is none, but attacks pack a punch: Feint Attack lets you pick any opponent’s Pokémon for 30 damage, ignoring all effects on it. Then Moon Impact slams for 60, and you can discard two energies to prevent all effects of attacks on Umbreon next turn. Simple, sneaky toolkit that fits the Eeveelution’s style—hit and fade.
Celebrations dropped in 2021 for Pokémon’s 25th anniversary, packing remakes of iconic cards from across the TCG history. This Umbreon stands out because it’s a nod to the ultra-rare Gold Star era of the mid-2000s, where these shiny variants were chase items in promo sets. The Classic Collection subset kept the original holo patterns and text, but with a special stamp to mark the occasion. It’s not the vintage original, but it captures that same elusive charm in a modern package, making it a solid piece for collectors who dig the evolution lines or dark-types.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means flawless edges, sharp corners, and centering that’s dead on—probably 9.5 or better across the board. Eye appeal is high with that foil pop against the black background; no whitening or print lines to distract. From what I’ve seen in pop reports, this one’s got a decent count in 10s, around 2,500 or so last I checked, thanks to the set’s popularity and easier grading on reprints compared to the beat-up originals.
I’d stash this in a display case next to other Eevee evos, just to watch the rings glow under the lights—that slab pop feeling when the collection clicks.
