eBay Celebrates Pokémon Day With New “Evolving Shop” Dedicated To Eevee, Will Auction Off Merch And Rare PSA 10 Cards

Continuing its celebration of "The Year of Eevee," Pokémon has been brought to the forefront by eBay to bring fans an Eevee-themed "Evolving Shop" for Pokémon Day. Every year, Pokémon holds a celebration on February 27, and this year it centered around the popular multi-evolution Eevee. As part of this annual event, eBay has created an independent initiative to celebrate all things Pokémon, bringing some incredible collectible merch to fans who visit the store and bid on the auctions.

Auctions will take place over the course of three days in the official Evolving Shop on eBay. The shop will include popular and collectible items from Pokémon history, including rare trading cards, plushies, and other merch. All auctions will start at just 9 cents and all items up for grabs will feature Eevee or one of its evolutions.

What To Expect From eBay's Evolving Shop

Will Auction Off Moonbreon, Fan Club Eevee, And Other Valuable TCG Finds

The Evolving Shop will focus entirely on selling merch featuring Eevee and its numerous evolutions. Each auction will give fans a chance to acquire some highly desirable, rare Eevee-themed Pokémon cards. Nine popular cards will be put up for auction during the special event, featuring Eevee and each of its eight evolutions.

These will include a PSA 10 of fan-favorite "Moonbreon" (2021 SWSH Evolving Skies Secret Full Art Umbreon VMAX) and Eevee fan club Japanese promo card from 2000 (Eevee 500 Pt. Fan Club Japanese Holo Promo #133), which sells for an average of $10,000 for a PSA 10 according to Price Charting.

Each day will bring a new set of 24-hour auctions, resetting at 6 a.m. PT. The following is a full schedule of all the cards that will be up for auction:

Feb. 25 (Gen 1 Cards)
- Pokémon TCG Eevee 500 Pt. Fan Club Japanese Holo Promo PSA 10
- 1999 Pokémon TCG Jungle Vaporeon Test Proof PSA Authentic
- 1999 Pokémon TCG Jungle Jolteon Holo PSA 1
- 1999 Pokémon TCG Jungle Flareon Holo No Symbol Error Card Misprint PSA 10
Feb. 26 (Gen 2 Cards)
- Pokémon TCG Neo Discovery 1st Edition Espeon Holo PSA 10
- 2021 Pokémon TCG SWSH Evolving Skies Secret Full Art Umbreon VMAX PSA 10
Feb. 27 (Gen 4 and 6 Cards)
- 2021 Pokémon TCG SWSH Evolving Skies Secret Full Art Leafeon VMAX PSA 10
- 2021 Pokémon TCG JPN SWSH Evolving Skies Full Art Glaceon VMAX-HYPER PSA 10
- 2021 Pokémon TCG SWSH Evolving Skies Secret Full Art Sylveon VMAX PSA 10

All auctions will start at just nine cents, so this may be fans' chance to get a hold of some extremely rare finds for a price that's potentially lower than market value. Eevee fans will have to act fast though, as the shop will only be available for three days:

From 6:00 a.m. PT on Tuesday through Feb. 25 6:00 a.m. PT on Friday, Feb. 28.

The Evolving Shop will also put classic Eevee merch up for auction, host vintage Pokémon box breaks, and stock several $1-start auctions. Fans can expect to see Pokémon make an appearance on eBay Live between February 24 and March 2.

Celebrating Eevee - Instead Of Pikachu - Is A Great Win

Pikachu Is Cute But It's Time For Eevee To Get The Spotlight

Eevee, Umbreon, Glaceon, Espeon, Leafeon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Sylveon, and Flareon from Pokémon.

Ever since the beginning of Pokémon, the charismatic Pikachu has taken center stage, acting as the face of the franchise. Since then, the series has grown and expanded to a huge degree, and the time has come for Pikachu to step aside and let another Pokémon get the spotlight for a change.

Eevee is another fan-favorite character, so celebrating the cute brown fox-like Pokémon is a nice change. According to a press release issued by eBay, "in 2024, Eevee ranked as the eighth most-searched Pokémon on eBay globally among the original 151 characters."

The Pokémon Company is really making sure that Eevee and its plethora of evolutions get the attention they deserve by making the entire year focus on them. Some fans even speculate that putting the spotlight on Eevee may mean that a new Eeveelution will be introduced this year, maybe even with Pokémon Legends: Z-A. It's a good year to be an Eevee fan, as the Pokémon is celebrated with merch, new and old.
