Espeon has always been one of those Eeveelutions that collectors just gravitate toward, and this particular printing, Espeon #46 from the Japanese Ruler of the Black Flame set, is a nice example of why. If you are trying to pin down the Espeon value right now, the short answer is that it sits at a modest but real $2 raw, with real upside if you land a gem mint copy. It is not a chase card that breaks the bank, but it has enough grading spread and pack history to make it worth understanding before you buy, sell, or crack a pack hoping for one.

The collector's take on Espeon

Is Espeon worth grading?

Here is the honest math on Espeon price across grades: raw sits at $2, a Grade 9 sells for $17, and a PSA 10 commands $85, which works out to 47.2 times the raw value. That is a real jump, and it is the kind of multiplier that gets people excited about sending cards in. But grading costs money and takes time, and there is no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint. Interestingly, the population data shows PSA 10 is actually the more common outcome among graded copies of this card, so it does seem to grade well. Still, weigh the grading fee against a $2 raw card carefully. If you already own one and it looks sharp, grading can make sense. If you are buying raw copies specifically to grade, know the odds and the costs before you commit.

How rare is Espeon?

There are 559 total graded copies of this Espeon on record, and 423 of those are PSA 10. That is a fairly small overall population for a set that clearly saw play, and it tells you two things. First, not a huge number of people have bothered to send this card in for grading, which keeps the graded pool tight. Second, of the ones that did get graded, the majority came back as PSA 10, which is part of why that top grade sits at $85 rather than something far higher. Scarcity here is less about a flood of PSA 10s being impossible to find and more about the overall graded population simply being modest.

Where can you pull Espeon?

This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because no price guide tells you where a card actually shows up in the wild. We have recorded Espeon #46 pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, courtyard, mnstr, lastpack, and collector-crypt, and it has turned up in packs like the Rookie Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokemon Dime Pack, Pack 5, and Pack 1. The biggest single pull we have on record for this card hit $362, which shows what is possible when a sharp copy lands in the right hands. Just remember that opening packs is a gamble by nature, and most rips do not come close to that number. If you are chasing this one specifically, it is out there in circulation, but plenty of collectors end up picking it up on the secondary market instead of waiting on a pull.

Right now the Espeon value for a raw, ungraded copy of card #46 from Ruler of the Black Flame sits at $2. Once you move into graded territory, a Grade 9 brings $17, and a PSA 10 climbs to $85, so condition makes a real difference here.

Is Espeon worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 47.2 times the raw price. That said, grading costs money and the raw card is only worth $2 to start, so think about whether the potential payoff justifies the fees and the wait before you send one in.

How much is a PSA 10 Espeon worth?+
