Magby is the little fire-breathing pre-evolution that a lot of us fell for the moment Team Rocket Returns hit shelves back in 2004, and card number 24 with its Yukiko Baba artwork still has that same warm, nostalgic pull today. As a Rare from that set, it was never going to be a headline chase card, but if you have found this page searching Magby value or wondering how much is Magby worth, the short answer is that raw copies sit at $3 while a PSA 10 climbs to $18.

The collector's take on Magby

Is Magby worth grading?

Here is the honest math: a raw Magby is worth $3, a Grade 9 sits at $16, and a PSA 10 comes in at $18, which works out to about 5.5 times the raw price once you hit gem mint. That sounds like a nice jump, but grading fees, shipping, and the wait time all eat into that margin fast, and there is no guarantee your copy comes back a 10 instead of a 9 or lower. If you already own a Magby that looks sharp in the corners and centered well, it can be worth sending in just to see, but buying raw copies purely to gamble on a grade is a much shakier bet once you factor in real costs.

Where can you pull Magby?

PackSpy has tracked Magby getting pulled 12 times across sites like Collector Crypt and Courtyard, showing up in packs such as the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Wildcard Basic Pack. The biggest recorded pull value we have logged for this card sits at $77, which is a nice reminder that pack luck can occasionally outrun the market price by a wide margin. That said, opening packs chasing a specific rare like Magby is still a gamble more often than not, and most rips do not beat what you would pay buying the card outright on the secondary market.

Questions people ask

Is Magby worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 5.5 times the raw price at $18 versus $3. Just weigh that against grading fees and the real chance your card comes back a 9 instead, since gem mint is never guaranteed.
