Neo Discovery Pop Report (2026): PSA 10 Population for Every Counted Printing
On this page
Only 516 PSA 10 Neo Discovery cards have been counted across the 8 printings whose population chains resolve — the forgotten Neo set is, by census, one of the thinnest gem supplies in WOTC. This page is the count: every resolvable PSA 10 population across 1st Edition and Unlimited, with the gem-mint price next to each one. And an honest disclosure up front: of the 28 printings we track, 7 have exact GemRate chains, one is modeled (marked †), and the other 20have no countable chain at all — we leave those blank rather than invent numbers. PSA's own population report now sits behind a login; ours is free and refreshed monthly, one chapter of the full WOTC pop report. The cost side of the same data lives in what a complete PSA 10 Neo Discovery set costs.
How Many PSA 10 Neo Discovery Cards Exist?
516 counted PSA 10s, representing $3,982,778 of gem market cap — and that is the census of the countable, not the whole set. The table below is every printing that resolves, scarcest first. What it shows is why this set stays under the radar: the deepest population in the entire set is 111 copies, and the whole counted census is 516 gems — Base Set's census counts 5,865.
| Card | PSA 10 pop | PSA 10 price | Gem market cap | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | 2001 Neo Discovery Unlimited Espeon #1 | 22† | $422 | $9,284 |
 | 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Houndour #5 | 26 | $4,200 | $109,200 |
 | 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Hitmontop #3 | 36 | $3,483 | $125,388 |
 | 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Kabutops #6 | 53 | $5,160 | $273,480 |
 | 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Ursaring #15 | 68 | $3,650 | $248,200 |
| 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Espeon #1 | 96 | $16,200 | $1,555,200 |
 | 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Umbreon #13 | 104 | $27,000 | $2,808,000 |
| 2001 Neo Discovery Unlimited Umbreon #13 | 111 | $5,760 | $639,360 |
The gap in this table matters as much as the numbers: marquee 1st Edition cards like Tyranitar — the set's chase, at $11,400 in gem — and the $66,000 Yanma have no resolvable chain yet, so we do not print a pop for them. When a count appears here, it is exact or clearly flagged. That is the deal.
How Many PSA 10 Umbreons Are There in Neo Discovery?
215 — 104 1st Edition and 111 Unlimited, both exact chains, as of July 2026. Umbreon is the set's demand engine: eeveelution collectors chase it across every set they appear in (the eeveelutions index tracks that cross-set bid), and it shows in the grading data. The Unlimited Umbreon is the most-graded card in Neo Discovery, and its pyramid is brutal:
7,037 gradings, 111 tens — a 1.6% gem rate, the hardest in the set. There are nearly twice as many PSA 1s (208) as PSA 10s: this was a played card from a played era, and the gem premium is pure condition scarcity. The market noticed in 2026 — here is the Unlimited Umbreon's tape, including a $28,200 July sale:

The 1st Edition Houndour, at pop 26 — $4,200 for one of 26 gems in existence, from 949 total gradings (a 2.7% gem rate). The 1st Edition Hitmontop (pop 36) and Kabutops (pop 53) follow. These are non-marquee cards with populations rarer than almost anything in Base Set, priced like footnotes — the quiet corner of the census:

Umbreon is the only card with exact counts on both sides — and the 1st Edition is the rarer gem, 104 to 111, despite trading at $9,600 against the Unlimited's $5,760. Espeon leans the other way: 96 exact 1st Edition gems against a modeled 22† Unlimited — yet the stamp commands $16,200 against $422. As everywhere in WOTC, the market prices the stamp first and the census second. The side-by-side, orange marking the rarer printing:
| # | Card | 1st Ed pop 10 | Unlimited pop 10 | Rarer printing |

Which Neo Discovery Cards Are Hardest to Gem?
Gem rate is the other half of a pop report: not how many 10s exist, but what fraction of all submissions earned one. The seven exact chains in Neo Discovery run from the Unlimited Umbreon's 1.6% to the 1st Edition Ursaring's 9.2% — 2001 print quality was better than 1999's, but the played-set problem is the same:
| # | Card | Gem rate | PSA 10s / total graded | PSA 10 price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | | 2001 Neo Discovery Unlimited Umbreon #13 | 1.6% | 111 / 7,037 | $5,760 |
| 2 | | 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Houndour #5 | 2.7% | 26 / 949 | $4,200 |
| 3 | | 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Hitmontop #3 | 5.2% | 36 / 697 | $3,483 |
| 4 | | 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Umbreon #13 | 5.6% | 104 / 1,868 | $9,600 |
| 5 | | 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Kabutops #6 | 5.6% | 53 / 951 | $5,160 |
| 6 | | 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Espeon #1 | 5.8% | 96 / 1,663 | $16,200 |
| 7 | | 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Ursaring #15 | 9.2% | 68 / 736 | $3,650 |

Is Neo Discovery Scarcity Priced In?
Partially — which makes it unusual. Price divided by PSA 10 population is what the market pays per unit of gem supply, and in Neo Discovery the rarest counted card is nearly at the top of the list rather than the bottom:
| Card | PSA 10 price | PSA 10 pop | Price per pop unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Espeon #1 | $16,200 | 96 | $169 |
| 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Houndour #5 | $4,200 | 26 | $162 |
| 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Kabutops #6 | $5,160 | 53 | $97 |
| 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Hitmontop #3 | $3,483 | 36 | $97 |
| 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Umbreon #13 | $9,600 | 104 | $92 |
| 2001 Neo Discovery 1st Edition Ursaring #15 | $3,650 | 68 | $54 |
The 1st Edition Espeon leads at $169 per unit of supply, with the pop-26 Houndour right behind at $162— scarcity partly recognized, unlike Base Set, where the rarest card trades at a tenth of the grail's ratio. The floor is the 1st Edition Ursaring at $54. The full ranked scarcity list across all fifteen WOTC sets is in the 50 rarest WOTC cards.

Is the PSA pop report free?
PSA's official population report now requires an account login. This page — and the full WOTC pop report it belongs to — is free, exact where GemRate chains resolve, and refreshed monthly.
Trade the census:every population above links to the card's live price page, the Neo Discovery index prices the whole set daily, the WOTC set-cost guide turns these counts into a bill, and the live deal feed is where underpriced supply surfaces.
