Special Illustration Rare Found in Twilight Masquerade

Overall, the 2024 Twilight Masquerade booster pack hasn’t delivered a lot of huge hits.

Glaceon ex Surpasses All Other Glaceon Cards in Looks & Value

Special Illustration Rare Found in Prismatic Evolutions

As mentioned, most of the cards that appear on this list come from the new Prismatic Evolutions set released in Jan. 2025. This set features Eevee and a plethora of beautiful cards based on all of Eevee’s evolutions. As some of the most popular Pokémon in the entire series, Prismatic Evolutions was highly sought-after before it was ever released. The first card from this incredible set is the Glaceon ex SIR designed by illustrator Kamome Shirahama, which currently has a TCGPlayer market price of $321.61.

Market Value (based on PriceCharting.com):

• Ungraded: $315

Leafeon ex Depicts the Pokémon in its Natural Environment

Special Illustration Rare Found in Prismatic Evolutions

Leafeon is another Prismatic Evolutions SIR that gets a lot of attention. To be clear, every single Eeveelution has an SIR in Prismatic Evolutions and all of them are worth more than $200, but Leafeon stands out from the rest thanks to its more realistic art style. While the other SIRs went for more abstract designs, illustrator Jiro Sasumo designed a card that would allow Leafeon to climb a tree. As many would expect from a grass-type Pokémon, Leafeon feels right at home in nature. This card has a TCGPlayer market price of $394.06.

Market Value (based on PriceCharting.com):

• Ungraded: $341.26
• Grade 8: $297.50

Latias & Latios GX Features an Iconic Duo

Alternate Full Art Found in SM – Team Up

I

Like Greninja, the Latias & Latios GX Alternate Full Art is the only card on this list from SM – Team Up. This booster pack came out in Fall 2022 and features the Latias & Latios GX chase card that stands above all others from this set. It’s an adorable card, with the Pokémon forming a heart between their profiles with the sun rising behind them. This unique card has a romantic flair that most Pokémon cards would never feature. Collectors also get two Pokémon for the price of one.

TCGPlayer’s market price is currently set at $412.50. While TCGPlayer’s market price is in the low $400s, the cheapest listing on TCGPlayer.com is $1,000 for a damaged holofoil card. Price Charting’s values are also much higher than $412, too. If one goes by Price Charting’s list prices instead of TCGPlayer’s, Latias & Latios GX becomes one of the most valuable cards on this list.

Market Value (based on PriceCharting.com):

• Ungraded: $858.14
• Grade 7: $570

Espeon ex is a Pastel Dream on a Bed of Flowers

Special Illustration Rare Found in Prismatic Evolutions

It’s hard to deny that Espeon is the most ethereal of the Eevee evolutions. As a beautiful and elegant psychic-type Pokémon, her Prismatic Evolutions SIR card needed to be stunning. Illustrator Sui captured the beauty and grace Espeon always carries by placing her on a purple backdrop of intricate flowers. With the almost entirely pink and purple color pallet, it’s hard to mistake this amazing card for any other Pokémon. TCGPlayer currently has this card’s market price listed at $430.33.

Market Value (based on PriceCharting.com):

• Ungraded: $390

Gengar VMAX is as Hilarious as it is Terrifying

Alternate Art Secret Rare Found in Fusion Strike

Gengar VMAX is a Secret Rare card found in the 2021 booster pack, Fusion Strike. This card features a gigantic Gengar sucking everything in the surrounding area into his massive mouth, which is completely on-theme for Gengar. This ghost-type Pokémon is rarely seen with its mouth closed or its tongue actually in its mouth. Illustrator sowsow emphasized how goofy Gengar truly looks, but the artist also showed off how truly scary this ghost Pokémon can be. PlayerTCG’s market price is currently listed at $690.63.

Umbreon VMAX is Better Known as Moonbreon

Umbreon VMAX is a Secret Rare full-art illustration card from Evolving Skies. Evolving Skies came out in Summer 2021 and since its release, Pokémon collectors have coveted one specific card from the set.

Umbreon ex Manages to Surpass Moonbreon’s Popularity

Special Illustration Rare Found in Prismatic Evolutions

Thanks to cards like Umbreon VMAX and the newest card to join the roster, Umbreon ex, Umbreon has been called a modern-day Charizard. Many valuable vintage cards depict the fire-breathing dragon Pokémon who isn’t actually a dragon-type. In recent years, Umbreon has seemed to take over as a fan-favorite Pokémon among collectors. Many fans think that Prismatic Evolution’s Umbreon ex SIR follows in Moonbreon’s footsteps, but it hasn’t just lived up to the hype, it’s outdone its predecessor. Illustrator YASHIRO Nanaco created a truly mystifying card. TCGPlayer’s market price is currently listed at $1,536.50.

Market Value (based on PriceCharting.com):

• Ungraded: $1,399.98
• Grade 8: $1,262.49
