Pokemon TCG enthusiasts are often preoccupied with the value of their cards, especially with new sets like the Pokemon TCG Stellar Crown expansion constantly being released. However, certain sets tend to appreciate in value more than others.
One of these highly sought-after sets is Evolving Skies, which has significantly increased in value over the years, largely due to key cards including the Full Art card featuring Umbreon. This card, affectionately known as “Moonbreon,”has become a major milestone in the community.
Recently, fans were astonished when a Reddit user shared a story about their friend, who had pulled the elusive Moonbreon card and decided to place it in their phone case for decoration. This revelation left many in disbelief.

For reference, platforms like TCG Player currently lists the Umbreon Vmax card from Evolving Skies for prices ranging from $500 to $900, depending on its condition.
Below the post, several comments humorously addressed the card’s value, with one user joking, “‘Sir, your card declined.” To which the friend responded with his Umbreon VMAX, leading to the reply, “Nvm, sir.”
Many commenters questioned the decision to keep the card in a phone case, with one remarking, “Just get a fake one and put it in there; that’s a special level your friend is on.” Another chimed in, “I do that with all my cards too, but I don’t own any worth more than $40, let alone $900, lmao.”
Some users even speculated that the card might not be genuine, with one comment saying, “That GOTTA be fake, I hope it is.” However, the original poster clarified, “It’s not; he got it in a booster box he won from a $20 raffle during a livestream. Bro is the luckiest man alive.”
Lastly, several users suggested that there are more suitable phone cases designed for holding cards. One user urged, “Tell bro to get one of those cardholder phone cases to protect it better, lmao,” while another proposed a partnership idea: “PSA x Casetify partnership you heard it here first.”
