About this card
Espeon 86/197 is card 86 in Obsidian Flames (197 numbered cards, plus 33 secret rares). It's one of 74 Uncommon cards in the set — 32% of 230. There are 17 English cards named “Espeon”. This is the 15th; the first was in Neo Discovery (2001). It has 110 HP and evolves from Eevee. Cona Nitanda illustrated 2 cards in Obsidian Flames and 12 English cards in total.
It isn't legal in the 2026–27 Standard format, so demand comes mainly from collectors.
Is Espeon 86/197 worth anything?
Copies of this card currently trade at around €0.08 on Cardmarket, assuming near-mint condition. The price you'll get in the UK depends mostly on condition: check the corners, edges and surface, and whether the artwork is well centred. Damaged cards sell for much less, while professionally graded copies in top condition can sell for far more.
To be sure you have the right card, match the set symbol and the number 86/197 printed at the bottom of your card. There are 40 different Espeon cards, so the number matters. Then compare completed eBay UK listings — sold prices, not asking prices — for copies in similar condition.
