The Eevee & Eeveelutions Archive Project
Every card. Every era. Every Eevee and every Eeveelution.
Most Pokémon collectors chase the rarest cards.
Others focus on complete sets.
This project is neither.
My goal is simple to explain, but far more challenging to achieve:
I want to collect every Eevee and Eeveelution card ever printed.
Not just the expensive cards.
Not just the alternate arts.
Not just the English releases.
Every card.
Every Eevee. Every Vaporeon. Every Jolteon. Every Flareon. Every Espeon. Every Umbreon. Every Leafeon. Every Glaceon. Every Sylveon.
Across every set, every promotion, every language, every era, and every variation I can realistically track down.
The Core Rule
The most important rule of this project is:
A card counts because it exists, not because it's rare.
A common card is just as important to this collection as a Special Art Rare.
A forgotten promotional card matters just as much as a modern chase card.
A Japanese-exclusive release deserves the same attention as a highly sought-after English printing.
This project aims to preserve the entire history of Eevee and its evolutions through the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
What Counts?
The answer is simple:
If it is an officially released Eevee or Eeveelution card, I want it in the collection.
This includes:

Unlimited printings
First Edition cards
Reverse Holos
Holo variants
Non-holo variants
Alternate set printings

Collection Philosophy
This project follows a "collect first, upgrade never-endingly" approach.
If I don't own a card:
Any copy is better than no copy.
If I already own it:
I may upgrade its condition.
I may obtain different language versions.
I may add sealed examples.
I may add grading later.
But first and foremost, I want the card represented in the archive.
The mission is completeness.
Why Eevee?
Few Pokémon have a collecting history as rich as Eevee and its evolutions.
Over nearly three decades, they have appeared in:
Base-era sets
Neo-era sets
EX-era releases
Diamond & Pearl
HeartGold & SoulSilver
Black & White
XY
Sun & Moon
Sword & Shield
Scarlet & Violet
On top of that, Eeveelutions consistently receive some of the most celebrated artwork in the hobby.
Whether it's a common card from 2000 or a modern Special Illustration Rare, every release contributes to the story.
The Long-Term Goal
When this project is complete, I want to be able to open a binder and follow the entire history of Eevee and the Eeveelutions through the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
Every artwork.
Every release.
Every promotional appearance.
Every language.
Every era.
A complete archive dedicated to one of Pokémon's most beloved evolutionary families.
How Progress Will Be Measured
Rather than measuring success by the value of the collection, I'll track:
✅ Total cards collected
✅ Cards remaining
✅ Language completion
✅ Promo completion
✅ Era completion
✅ Master set milestones
✅ New discoveries and variants
Because the real challenge isn't buying a single expensive card.
It's finding every card that belongs in the archive.
Join the Adventure
Over the coming months and years, I'll be sharing:
Collection updates
Binder layouts
Rare discoveries
Language variants
Collection statistics
Set completion milestones
Historical card spotlights
Missed and obscure releases
This isn't a race to the most valuable card.
It's a journey to document the complete history of Eevee and the Eeveelutions, one card at a time.
The adventure starts with a single card and ends with an archive.
