Pokemon Trading Card - Umbreon (not authenticated)

This is a standard trading card featuring the Pokemon character Umbreon, presented vertically on a textured surface. The card displays a holographic or foil finish running across its face. At the top left, the text reads "STAGE 1" alongside a small graphic of Eevee, and the main character name is printed as "Umbreon" with a hit points value reading "HP 110". The artwork depicts the dark-type fox-like creature resting on a surface. A special anniversary-style Pikachu stamp featuring the number "25" is visible on the right side of the illustration window. The card includes descriptive text below the artwork stating "NO. 0197 Moonlight Pokemon HT: 3'3" WT: 59.5 lbs". The card text displays two attacks: "Retaliate" with a damage value of "30+" and descriptive text underneath, and "Darkness Fang" with a damage value of "100". At the bottom left, the illustrator credit reads "Illus. mori Suzuki" along with a set code box containing "30C EN 091/128". The bottom right features flavor text reading "The light of the moon changed Eevee's genetic structure. It lurks in the darkness, waiting for prey." The physical condition appears generally clean with standard cardstock construction, though surface wear, edge chipping, or bending cannot be entirely ruled out without close-up physical inspection. The attribution to a specific Pokemon trading card set rests on the visual match of the layout, text, numbering, and holo foil treatment, but the item itself remains unauthenticated.

Based on the visual evidence provided in the photograph, the item appears to be a standard trading card featuring Umbreon with a 25th-anniversary style Pikachu stamp, displaying layout and text consistent with modern Pokémon trading card products. However, because I am evaluating this piece solely from a photo, I cannot verify material composition, exact surface texture, or hidden wear. Physical inspection would be needed to confirm the cardstock quality and rule out any potential alterations or counterfeits. Assuming the visual attribution is correct, raw modern holographic promotional cards of this type typically trade within a modest market range. Demand for Eeveelutions remains generally steady among collectors, though value heavily depends on condition. Because this piece is unauthenticated, the estimated range reflects raw collector market value; if the item were to be evaluated by a professional grading service and receive a high grade, the value could increase significantly. Conversely, if physical inspection reveals this to be a reproduction, replica, or proxy, the market value would drop to near-zero. To establish true status, in-person examination by a professional trading card expert or professional grading encapsulation is recommended.
