Should You Grade an Espeon VMAX Alt Art?
The Espeon VMAX Alt Art from Evolving Skies sits in a similar market tier to the Moonbreon — highly desirable, strong PSA 10 premium, and subject to the same centering variance from the print run.
The economics are nearly identical: PSA 9 barely covers fees, PSA 10 generates strong returns.
Grade Spread (2026)
- Raw near-mint:$150–$250
- PSA 9:$250–$380
- PSA 10:$600–$1,000
- All-in grading cost:~$100
The PSA 9 profit margin is thin. This card, like the Moonbreon and Rayquaza Alt Art, is only clearly worth grading if you are targeting PSA 10.
