Pokémon Umbreon ex 091/106 – Japanese 1st Edition (2005)

Among the most iconic Eeveelution-era EX cards, Umbreon ex stands at the intersection of Japanese print prestige and enduring character demand. Issued in 2005 within the Japanese set Golden Sky, Silvery Ocean, this 1st Edition release captures Umbreon in a tense nocturnal composition, set against a deep red field with crisp foil detailing—an aesthetic hallmark of the EX era that continues to define high-grade Japanese slabs.

This example is authenticated and encapsulated by PSA with a GEM MINT 10 grade, the top tier of preservation and the standard collectors look for when building museum-grade runs of Eeveelutions, EX-era holos, and Japanese 1st Edition material. The combination of a globally beloved Pokémon, a comparatively scarce Japanese 1st Edition print, and the difficulty of achieving PSA 10 on early-2000s foil stock places this card firmly in the “vault or display” category—equally suited to a curated showcase or as a long-term cornerstone piece within an investment-aware Pokémon portfolio.
