# Espeon #20/75 — Neo Discovery

## Summary

Espeon is among the most beloved Eeveelutions, and its debut in the Neo era makes this a cornerstone for anyone assembling the full Johto set. Naoyo Kimura's work from the WOTC years carries a soft, painterly reputation, while a non-holo Rare here is a respectable mid-tier pull rather than the chase slot. The modelled guide sits at $116 with 29 copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
