The promos set the mood before the pulls

Randolph Pokemon’s November 7 upload, “Is This Pokémon’s BEST UPC Ever? (30th Celebration),” opens the Umbreon version of the 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection. At 1:55 he brings Umbreon ex close to the camera; at 2:15 it is Pikachu ex’s turn. Those two early reveals give the box a visual identity before the random packs. They are our grounded focus, not a claim to a complete pull list or the box’s most profitable cards.

From a festival night to a chrome future

The four panels move from the actual Umbreon reveal to complete images of both promos, then a dated reference price and the actual Pikachu scene. The source frame preserves the creator, card and original captions. Separate card images were checked against the footage’s numbers and artwork.

Umbreon ex MEP 110 invites you into the festival

The footage and full card image agree on MEP EN 110, 270 HP, Lunatic Claw and the anniversary logo. Eevee, fireworks and lanterns make Umbreon feel part of a shared evening rather than an isolated character portrait. That is our reading of the illustration. This English promo is not interchangeable with another Umbreon ex number or a Korean printing.

Pikachu ex MEP 109 takes a different surface

At 2:15, the close-up identifies MEP EN 109, 190 HP, Zip-Zap Frenzy, Thunder and the anniversary logo. YOSHIROTTEN’s metallic Pikachu directs attention toward reflective color and floating Energy symbols, a different mood from Umbreon’s lantern-lit setting. The catalog’s approximate supporting image points to a different number, so we excluded it. The complete image used here is product 713256, visually matched to the actual reveal.

A dollar amount needs an observation time

TCGIndex’s stored JustTCG references, checked November 10, show US$83.82 for Umbreon 110 and US$35.75 for Pikachu 109: US market, English, Near Mint, Holofoil. Both observations are November 8, 2026 at 22:10:12 UTC, or November 9 at 07:10:12 KST. These are stored market references, not fresh November 10 listings or completed sales, and the footage does not grade the creator’s copies as Near Mint. A current listing, newer sale or Korean-won quote remains unverified. We did not average in a different-condition Pikachu quote or add the two figures into an opening profit.

Choose the promo before judging the box

The official November product roundup gives a November 6 release, two promos and thirty total packs, including a special pack of three etched Classic Collection cards. That total should not be confused with the video’s reference to twenty-nine packs. The English product notice does not establish a Korean release or price. Watch the original, decide which picture belongs in your collection, then check the exact English card detail and save your own copy. This is independent commentary, not a collaboration or endorsement by Randolph. Content checked November 10, 2026.
