The Espeon Gold Star 16/17 in context
Why collectors care
Espeon Gold Star from POP Series 5 is one of the most difficult Gold Stars to obtain. POP sets were distributed through Pokemon Organized Play rather than retail booster packs, so the supply entering the market was far smaller than for set-released Gold Stars.
How to identify it
Number 16/17 from POP Series 5 (2007), with the small holographic gold star beside the name and the shiny alternate coloring. Confirm the POP Series 5 set -- Espeon Gold Star does not exist in a retail booster set.
Common mistakes
Proxies and reproductions of the POP Gold Stars are widespread given the price level. Treat only graded, authenticated copies as investment-grade and verify the cert with the grader.
Grade considerations
Gold Stars are centering-sensitive and the foil shows scratches and print lines easily, so gem copies are rare. Nearly all the premium sits in high grade.
