Espeon / Umbreon POP5 Gold Stars, quick question

Quick question for anyone who has or had this card. I know the English Espeon and Umbreon Gold Stars from POP5 are non-Holo. Are the gold star symbol and Rare rarity symbol also supposed to be non-Holo? Just want to make sure the Espeon that just arrived in the mail is real. :blush:

Here a picture of both front and back as well:

@quuador , nice card buddy, is this the Espeon that the norwegian guy opened on stream? ^^

Probably not. I bought it from a Hungarian guy. :blush: That same seller also had a PSA-9 copy for sale, but I see he took it down after selling this ungraded one to me. Although looking at this ungraded copy it’s at least a 9 as well, with a small change of a weak 10 maybe. Not sure yet whether I’d send it in for grading though, but seeing how clean it is I might indeed do so.

Very clean too, congrats buddy.

Thanks, it indeed is. And just got word back from the seller, which means I won’t be grading it. There is a minor defect at the back, which would lower it to a 7 or 8 probably, which is why he hadn’t grade it himself (PS: the PSA-9 I mentioned in my earlier comment sold). Apart from that it’s a near perfect card with only one or two extremely small nicks of white at the back corners. If it weren’t for that defect I would have estimated it to be a weak-10 or strong 9. So it will go in a sleeve and toploader or cardsaver in my binder for now. I do feel rather lucky with this purchase though, since it’s near perfect and has great eye-appeal on both sides. A great finisher (apart from an incoming Litwick Common haha :laughing: ) for my National Index collection including all forms and Shiny Pokémon).

I’m jelly.
