Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About Espeon ☆
Espeon ☆ 16/17 is the English POP Series 5 Gold Star Espeon. Collectors search it as the companion POP Series Gold Star Eeveelution to Umbreon ☆, with exact grade and cert history driving most public comparisons.
Why this card matters
Verified factThe official Pokémon database identifies Espeon ☆ as POP Series 5 card 16/17, a Rare illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda. Like Umbreon ☆, it belongs to a promotional POP Series release rather than a standard booster expansion. Its collector demand is tied to Gold Star rarity, Eeveelution collecting, and condition scarcity in high grades. PSA sale-history pages in 2026 show six-figure PSA 10 auction records, but those records should only be used for the same English POP Series 5 card. [1][2]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factConfirm English POP Series 5, card number 16/17, the Espeon ☆ name line, and the Gold Star symbol. The card is not interchangeable with modern Espeon ex, Japanese Espeon Gold Star, or any non-POP Series card. PSA slabs should identify 2007 Pokémon POP Series 5 #16 Espeon-Gold Star. If a listing title omits the language, hides the back, or shows an unclear cert, keep it out of the comparable set until the exact identity is proven. [1][2][3]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisThe reviewed sales show large grade separation. PSA 10 entries include a $204,000 Fanatics Collect auction on 2026-09-07, while PSA 8 sales in the same PSA records were much lower. PSA 7 and PSA 3 records form their own markets. That spread makes optimistic grading assumptions risky; a raw copy cannot be valued by simply pointing to a Gem Mint record. Follow ch03: use sold comps, match grader and grade, and log excluded listings. [2][3][4]
Authenticity checks
Verified factCompare against official POP Series 5 references for name, number, attacks, rarity, illustrator, and layout. Then inspect the gold star mark, print quality, holo surface, edges, corners, and back. For slabs, verify the cert and match photos, but do not treat database lookup as full authentication because copied cert numbers and counterfeit-associated cert notices exist. Do not bend, tear, light-test destructively, clean, recolor, or otherwise alter the card. [1][5][6]
