Tap to open
Espeon has always been one of the quiet fan favorites from the Eeveelution family, and this Reverse Holo #48 from the 2013 Plasma Freeze set is a lovely example of why. It's only an Uncommon card, illustrated by 5ban Graphics, but that shimmering reverse foil treatment gives it a presence that a lot of pricier cards don't have. If you're trying to pin down Espeon value right now, the raw market sits at $45, which is a fair, approachable number for a card with this much charm.

The collector's take on Espeon
Is Espeon worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy goes for $45, a Grade 9 jumps to $904, and a true PSA 10 commands $18,534, which works out to about 413.4 times the raw price. That's a massive gap, and it's tempting to send every copy you own off to get slabbed. But only 7 copies out of 222 graded total have ever reached that PSA 10 gem mint tier, so hitting it isn't a sure thing. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's real risk your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10, which changes the payout dramatically. If your copy already looks pack fresh with sharp corners and clean edges, it's worth a shot. If it has any wear, you might be better off enjoying it raw or selling as is.
How rare is Espeon?
Across every grading company combined, only 222 copies of this Espeon Reverse Holo have been graded, and just 7 of those earned a PSA 10. That's a tiny slice at the very top. When a card has that few gem mint copies floating around, basic scarcity does a lot of the heavy lifting on price, since collectors chasing a perfect copy for their set have very few options to choose from. It's part of why the gap between a raw card and a PSA 10 can look so extreme on paper, the population at the top is genuinely thin.
Where can you pull Espeon?
This is where PackSpy's live tracking comes in handy, because we record real pulls across online pack sites, not just guesses. As of now, we haven't logged a single tracked pull of this Espeon Reverse Holo anywhere, which tells you plainly that it's rare to see come out of a pack. Most collectors who want this card end up buying it directly on the secondary market rather than chasing it through packs. That's worth remembering before you drop money on a rip hoping to land it, since opening packs is a gamble and most openings don't pay off.
Questions people ask
How much is Espeon worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of this Espeon Reverse Holo from Plasma Freeze typically sells for $45. Graded copies climb fast from there, with a Grade 9 worth $904 and a PSA 10 reaching $18,534, so condition changes the value enormously.
Is Espeon worth grading?+
It can be, if your copy is in excellent shape. The PSA 10 price of $18,534 is about 413.4 times the raw value, but only 7 of the 222 graded copies have hit that gem mint grade, so it's not guaranteed. Weigh the grading cost and risk against how clean your card really looks before sending it in.
Why is the Espeon Reverse Holo #48 print worth more than the standard one?+
Reverse holo cards carry that extra foil shine across the card's background rather than just the artwork, which makes them stand out and appeal to collectors who like variety in their binders. That visual appeal, combined with how few top graded copies exist, tends to keep demand and prices higher than you'd expect for an Uncommon card.
