Magikarp: Rarity & Collectibility
Magikarp in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #052/110 of the Legendary Collection 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 (Uncommon, Legendary Collection #052/110) changes hands at roughly $150.00, 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 $150.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $136.50. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $150.00, Lightly Played $225.00, Moderately Played $76.76, Heavily Played $139.50, Damaged $136.50 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Magikarp is valued near $1,325 — about 8.8x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Magikarp: 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) Magikarp sits around $1,325 — roughly 8.8x 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 $660.00, CGC 10 $729.99, CGC 9.5 $350.00 — 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.
