Is Magneton worth grading?
Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 22.7% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case −$13); most land at PSA 9 or below.
The odds
Magneton is a Rare in Dragon — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 67% of the time, split across 10 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 15 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 10 | $59.00 | $71 | −$13 | 31.4× |
| PSA 9 | $15.00 | $70 | −$57 | 8.0× |
| PSA 8 | $13.68 | $70 | −$58 | 7.3× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 75 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 22.7% | $59.00 |
| PSA 9 | 40% | $15.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 37.3% | $11.00 |
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. Gem rate is estimated from cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies — so it overstates the true grade rate. Treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.
Population across gradersPSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — every grade, with gem rates
Only 22% of 76 PSA-graded Magneton copies are a gem-mint 10 (17 of 76) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — a lower gem rate means a Magneton 10 is harder to pull.

Then search for up to 2 basic Energy cards from your discard pile, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. You can't return the card you first discarded to your hand in this way. This power can't be used if Magneton is affected by a Special Condition.
