07Why Collectors Want It

  • A Gold Star (★) distributed only through the 2007 POP Series 5 organized-play set — never pulled from boosters, making it far scarcer than set Gold Stars.
  • Umbreon is the most popular Eeveelution; its Gold Star is a holy-grail chase across the hobby.
  • Numbered #17/17 — one of just two Gold Stars in POP Series 5, alongside Espeon ★ #16.
  • Verified at ~$5,039 raw, with PSA 10 copies realizing ~$63,461 (PriceCharting, May 2026) — roughly a 13x gem-mint multiple.
  • Limited POP distribution plus Umbreon demand make clean copies exceptionally hard to acquire.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Umbreon with 70 HP; top attack around — damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Dark Ray

Once during your turn, when you put Umbreon Star from your hand onto your Bench, you may choose 1 card from your opponent's hand without looking and discard it.

Feint Attack Cost: Darkness + Darkness

Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies, or any other effects on that Pokémon.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$63,461 against ~$5,039 raw — about 13x for a flawless copy (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

POP-series Gold Stars came in limited supply and the gold foil shows whitening readily, so the gem-mint population is small relative to demand.

Other graders: PSA dominates resale on Eeveelution Gold Stars; BGS and CGC gem copies trade at a discount to an equivalent PSA 10.
