Why prices differ
TCGplayer's figure is what sellers are asking on their marketplace, not what copies sold for — an asking price sits above a completed sale because it is the start of a negotiation, not the end of one. Our price comes from those same completed sales, adjusted to Near Mint — the median below mixes every condition together, and most copies that change hands are played rather than mint.

From 340 completed sales recorded between Jul 29, 2024 and Sep 4, 2026. Sold prices only — asking prices are never counted. The median above is computed over the 216 sales of the printing this page lists; 1st Edition and Shadowless copies are real sales of a different card and are shown separately rather than mixed in. The range is wide because these sales span different printings and conditions — 1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited copies all carry this card's name, and they trade at very different levels. Each sale above is labelled with what its listing claimed, so you can see which ones describe the same object. Treat the median as the typical copy, not the range.

Is Magneton worth grading?
Raw $21.47 → graded PSA 9 ≈ $188.00, after ~$71.87 grading fee → 8.8× the raw value.
The odds
Magneton is a Holo / V / ex in Base — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 16 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 48 packs.
Estimates only. Pack odds come from CardTrack's pack model (the same one behind the pack simulator) — not an official rate. Grading odds are the real cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies, so it overstates the true first-submission gem rate. Full grade-by-grade breakdown below.
Grade-by-grade ROI & risk-adjusted outcomesNet vs raw per target grade, plus the probability-weighted distribution
| Target grade | Est. value | Grading fee | Net vs raw | Multiple |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSA 9 | $188.00 | $72 | +$95 | 8.8× |
| PSA 8 | $60.00 | $71 | −$32 | 2.8× |
Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-06-28; the paused PSA Value tier is excluded so this isn't overstated. Real outcome depends on the grade achieved; PSA 10 is best-case.
Population across gradersPSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — every grade, with gem rates
Only 1% of 12,973 PSA-graded Magneton copies are a gem-mint 10 (190 of 12,973) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — a lower gem rate means a Magneton 10 is harder to pull.
