2000 Japanese Neo 2 Espeon Holo #196 — PSA 10 (Perfect Ear Holo Swirl) (Foil)

PSA GEM MT 10 — authenticated and slabbed (label reads “2000 PM JAPANESE NEO 2 ESPEON-HOLO #196”) with PSA serial visible.

Condition & grading • Graded PSA Gem Mint 10 — card is in pristine, collector-ready condition inside the PSA slab. Corners, edges, centering and surface all meet Gem Mint standards.

Notable features • Exceptionally positioned holo: a pronounced, eye-catching holo swirl aligns right on Espeon’s ear — a highly sought-after visual anomaly for this print that greatly increases collector appeal. Photographs show the swirl clearly. • Japanese Neo 2 (2000) holo rarity: one of the most desirable Eeveelution holo variants from the Neo era and a core grail for vintage Eeveelution collectors. • Low-population appeal: this graded example carries strong scarcity value at the PSA 10 level compared to ungraded or lower-graded copies.

Art, set and printing details • Set: Japanese Neo 2 (2000). Card number: No.196. • Holo status: original holo foil (holographic pattern visible across the art). The holo pattern and sparkle are intact and strong. • Artist: Atsuko Nishida (name printed on the card).

Collectible value & notes • Modern grail: combines a popular Eeveelution, a vintage Neo-era holo, and a PSA 10 grade — all key drivers for market demand. Especially desirable to collectors focused on Japanese Neo sets and Eeveelution lines. • Display & investment-ready: slabbed by PSA, ready for secure storage or display without further grading risk. The unique ear holo swirl makes this copy stand out from typical Neo 2 Espeon holo listings.
