PSA 10 vs PSA 9 vs raw for Umbreon VMAX Alt Art
Two things set Moonbreon's price: the grade, and that it's the alt-art #215/203 rather than the cheaper #95/203. Sort live listings by grade, then compare within a grade to recent sold comps. The near-black background hides scratches, so a raw 'mint' copy carries real grading risk and should sit well under slabbed 10s.

How to spot the real Umbreon VMAX Alt Art
- 1Confirm the number reads 215/203 — that's the alt-art secret rare. The cheaper full-art Umbreon VMAX is #95/203 with a plain coloured background.
- 2The alt art shows Umbreon leaping against a starry night sky and moon — the source of the 'Moonbreon' nickname.
- 3Check the dark background under a light for fine vertical print lines and scratches; they're the main thing separating a 9 from a 10.
