What are the most valuable Eevee Pokemon cards ever?

As of 2024, the average rare Pokémon card collector probably spends a lot of time looking at the various Eeveelutions released over the years. 

After all, there are eight in total. (Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon.) This is far more than any other monster. 

Eevee has been a major part of the series since the beginning, and was the rival’s starter in Pokémon Yellow.

Here’s a rundown with five of the best Eevee Pokemon cards produced over the years, along with discussing their investment potential. 

The Best Eevee Pokemon Cards

The best Eevee card is subjective. We’ve factored in for values and rarity when compiling this list of the top five options overall. 

5. 1999 Pokémon Jungle 1st Edition Eevee #51 (eBay)

In terms of the earliest Pokémon cards, Eevee made its TCG debut in the Jungle expansion of the 1999 Pokémon set. It’s a non-holo, while 1st Edition copies can be identified thanks to a stamp on the lower left corner. 

The Jungle set might not be the original, but they were still produced by Wizards of the Coast. It sells for a premium price tag despite the lack of a holo finish. As a common base card, it’s relatively abundant on the resale market.

4. 1995 Pokémon Japanese Topsun Holo Eevee (eBay)

As our extensive review of the Japanese Topsun set notes; 

“In terms of the earliest Pokémon cards, the 1999 set tends to be seen as the original by most fans. However, Topsun cards are slabbed as a 1995 set, while it was originally given away with gum, having been produced by Top-Seika in Japan. (In fact, they were produced in 1997 by all accounts.)”

This Eevee card is still a coveted collectible, with a trio of versions to look out for. Blue Back Topsun cards hold significant value over their Green Back siblings that were printed after. 

Even rarer is the elusive No Number variant of the cards that are missing the card number in the upper left-hand corner. 

3. 1995 Pokémon Japanese Topsun Holo Eevee #133 (eBay)

Sticking with the Japanese Topsun set, 16 of the 150 cards have a rare Holo version that was released after the initial print run. (This makes them less valuable, but rare nonetheless.)

They were inserted at a rate of just one in every 40 packs. 

The Holo version of Eevee is a landscape card, featuring the Pokémon set against a full-bleed background. As such, it’s tough to locate in pristine condition. 

2. 2000 Pokémon Japanese Promo 500 Point Fan Club Eevee #133 (eBay)

If you thought the Topsun cards were rare, wait until you hear about the next Eevee promo card to make the list.

Released via the original Japanese Pokémon Fan Club, this card was only available to members who reached the 500 point level. This was the 2nd highest prize at the time. 

The 2000 Pokémon Fan Club Member 500 point redemption prize has turned out to be a valuable option. For example, a PSA 9 copy recently sold for $4,949.99.

1. 2000 Pokémon Jr Stamp Rally Gold Course Pack Eevee #11 (eBay)

This time, we’re looking at a promo prize given out during the 2000 JR (Japan Railways) Stamp Rally Campaign. (Riders could collect stamps during journeys, with this being the Gold Course prize.)

It’s one of the few English promo cards released in Japan, with a simple non-holo image of Eevee. As you may have guessed, the limited release has ensured that it’s exceptionally valuable in 2022. It’s aided by the fact that it’s printed in English.

Japanese promo Pokémon cards are often some of the rarest you’ll find, especially if they were released during the turn of the century. 

Here’s what we think of the current state of the market for graded Eevee cards, including whether they’re worth picking up midway through 2022. 

The Best Cheap Eevee Pokemon Cards

Ironically, graded 1st Edition Jungle Eevee cards are the most affordable options to make the list by a wide margin. The situation is helped by the fact that the card doesn’t have a holo image, while canny collectors were beginning to get wise to how popular Pokémon was by the time the 2000 Jungle set was released. 

The Best Overall Eevee Pokemon Card

There are rare cards from 1997, or Japanese promo versions which are more than worth more than their weight in gold. If you are interested in vintage options, we’d stick with graded Pokémon cards to ensure you won’t pick up a fake or reprint passing for the real thing. 

Final Thoughts

Eevee has long been used as a mascot by the company, while evolutions like Umbreon feature some of the more popular and valuable cards released over the years. 

Pokémon cards continue to increase in value, with Eevee being no exception. Its popularity has continued into the present day, even if it lags behind the likes of Pikachu ever so slightly. 

It might not make as much profit as a collection of Charizard cards, but Eevee is still a great investment option. 

We’ve mainly focused on older basic cards, but there are various special cards, along with Eeveelution cards to check out.
