the copyright data on the magestic dawn espeon will be in relation to when the card was printed
espeon as a pokemon would of been copyrighted when the pokemon where all confirmed for the gold/silver gameboy games
ruby carbuncle would of only been created in the last couple of years(unless ofcourse they have been sat on the design for like forever) i suspect the date on the yugioh card is for the entire copyright of the yugioh cards('96 in this case) and that covers everything printed regardless of when it was created however i'm not an expert on copyright law
Regardless, the copyright on Yugioh cards is the copyright for the whole Yugioh universe itself. The card's copyright is whatever year the set came out.
