Eevee · Hidden Fates, what to know.
About the Eevee card
Numbered 48 of 69 in Hidden Fates, released in August 2019, Eevee is a Rare Holo, a Basic Colorless-type carrying 60 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Eevee needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.
Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno. Himeno is one of the most-recognized vintage illustrators, with a softer, more textured style that shows up across the Jungle and Neo runs.
Printed on the card, the Eevee Pokédex entry reads: "The question of why only Eevee has such unstable genes has still not been solved."
About Eevee in the Pokémon world
A Normal-type Pokémon with multiple evolution paths (3 in Gen 1, 8 across the franchise). Beloved design. Jungle Common Eevee is a sentimental favorite. Its proximity to the holo Eeveelutions in the same set drives demand.
What is Eevee worth?
Eevee is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Hidden Fates's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Hidden Fates holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Eevee before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Eevee comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Eevee can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting Eevee
For Eevee, variant comes before condition. Confirm the exact rarity tier on the Eevee, since the spread between tiers is wide. Demand a clear photo of the Eevee holo for any raw purchase.
