Related Magby & chase cards
Tap to open
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.
How rare is Magby?
Across every collection and vault we track, there are 109 graded copies of Magby out there, and 46 of those have earned the top PSA 10 grade. That is actually a fairly high slice sitting at the gem mint level, which tells you this card, while not printed in huge graded numbers, has held up well for collectors who took care of it. It is not a card defined by brutal scarcity at the top end, more one where the population is modest overall, and that keeps prices grounded rather than sending them soaring.
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
How much is Magby worth?+
A raw, ungraded Magby from Team Rocket Returns is valued at $3. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $16 and a PSA 10 reaching $18.
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.
How much is a PSA 10 Magby worth?+
A PSA 10 Magby is valued at $18. Out of 109 total graded copies recorded, 46 have reached that gem mint PSA 10 grade, so it is achievable but far from automatic.
