Magikarp: Rarity & Collectibility
Magikarp in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #72/123 of the HeartGold SoulSilver 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 Magikarp?
In 2026, a Near Mint Magikarp (Common, HeartGold SoulSilver #72/123) changes hands at roughly $23.00, 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 $23.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.34. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $23.00, Lightly Played $16.38, Moderately Played $7.83, Heavily Played $6.00, Damaged $3.34 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
