Magby: Rarity & Collectibility
Magby in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #24/109 of the Team Rocket Returns 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 Magby?
In 2026, a Near Mint Magby (Rare, Team Rocket Returns #24/109) changes hands at roughly $58.20, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $58.20, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $18.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $58.20, Lightly Played $48.29, Moderately Played $28.79, Heavily Played $15.93, Damaged $18.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Magby is valued near $325.00 — about 5.6x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Magby: 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) Magby sits around $325.00 — roughly 5.6x 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 $134.38, CGC 10 $189.00, CGC 9.5 $69.00 — 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.
