Umbreon 130/197 (2023 Trick or Trade BOOster Bundle Stamp)
Pokémon / Nintendo / Creatures / GAME FREAK · Collectibles & Antiques > Trading Card Games (TCG)
Era / Decade
2023 (Modern Era). Specifically from the October 2023 Halloween 'Trick or Trade' promotion.
Material
Standard Pokémon TCG cardstock with a non-holo finish. Typical high-quality commercial printing on pulp paper.
Condition
Fair to Good. The card shows significant edge wear (whitening) on the bottom right corner, a possible crease/indentation on the top right, and surface grime. It is unsleeved and being handled with bare hands, which further impacts condition.
Demand Level
Moderate to Low. While Umbreon is a high-demand character, this specific card was mass-produced and distributed widely in candy-alternative bags, leading to a saturated market.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$0.50 - $2.00. Current market value for raw copies in good condition is very low due to high supply.
Estimated Retail Value
$0.10 - $0.25 (Original cost per card based on the $14.99 MSRP for a 40-pack bundle).
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sold listings show individual copies selling for $0.99 to $1.50 with free shipping. Full sets of all 30 cards from this series sell for $5.00 to $10.00.
Description
2023 Pokémon Umbreon 130/197 from the Obsidian Flames set reprint, featuring the exclusive Pikachu-pumpkin 'Halloween' stamp on the bottom right of the artwork. This is a non-foil card released as part of the Trick or Trade BOOSTER bundles meant for Halloween distribution.
Key Features
Features Umbreon, one of the most popular 'Eeveelutions' among collectors. The unique orange Pikachu pumpkin stamp is a limited-time seasonal marker.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. The font kerning, copyright dates (2023), and specific 'G' regulation mark match the Obsidian Flames/Trick or Trade production run. High confidence.
Flaws to Note
Significant whitening on the edges, softening of corners, and visible surface debris/specks. Condition is not 'Near Mint,' which is the standard for modern TCG collectors.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
TCGPlayer (best for volume), eBay (as a 'PWE' or Plain White Envelope listing), or Mercari as part of a bundle.
Selling Tips
Do not sell this item individually; the shipping cost will exceed the card's value. Best sold as part of a 'Full 2023 Trick or Trade Set' or bundled with other Umbreon/Eevee cards. Clean the surface gently with a microfiber cloth and place in a penny sleeve immediately.
