Magmar: Rarity & Collectibility
Magmar is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #036/102 of the Base Set set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Magmar?
In 2026, a Near Mint Magmar (Uncommon, Base Set #036/102) changes hands at roughly $2.46, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $2.46, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.38. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.46, Lightly Played $1.33, Moderately Played $0.88, Heavily Played $0.58, Damaged $0.38 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Magmar is valued near $150.00 — about 61x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Magmar: Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Magmar sits around $150.00 — roughly 61x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $48.99, CGC 10 $35.00, CGC 9.5 $29.99 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
