Pokémon Umbreon Holo — Neo Discovery #13/75, Italian (BGS 9)

Umbreon arrived in 2001 as the night-side answer to Espeon, and the Neo Discovery holographic became the card that fixed the character's visual identity: a moonlit silhouette, gold ring markings catching the light, and Kimiya Masago's artwork built around shadow rather than colour.

Neo Discovery was the second chapter of the Neo block, the point at which the Johto generation was still being introduced to players, and the Italian Unlimited printing carries a scarcity that collectors of European-language vintage know well: distribution was narrower than the English release, and copies that survived the schoolyard years in this condition are few.

This example has been authenticated and encapsulated by Beckett at 9 MINT, with subgrades of 9 for centering and corners, 9.5 for edges and 8.5 for surface — a profile that keeps the foil clean and the cut sharp. For collectors pursuing the Eeveelutions in high grade, or completing an Italian Neo run, it is a quiet but stubborn hole to fill.
