Magneton 1st Edition #11 value & price
Reviewed by Mumbles · Updated 8 Aug 2026Related Magneton & chase cards
Tap to open
Magneton is one of those Fossil-era cards that quietly built a devoted following, a Rare illustrated by Ken Sugimori and released back in 1999 when the Fossil set first hit shelves. If you are searching for the Magneton value, the 1st Edition #11 print is the one collectors talk about, and right now a raw copy sits at $45 while a PSA 10 commands $408. It is not a flashy chase card, but it has real staying power, and that is exactly why people keep asking how much Magneton is worth years later.

The collector's take on Magneton
Is Magneton worth grading?
So is Magneton worth grading? Here is the honest math: a PSA 10 sells for about 9.0 times what a raw copy fetches, which sounds tempting on paper. But gem mint is a real hurdle here, not a formality, and grading fees plus turnaround time eat into any profit if your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10. Interestingly, current market data actually shows Grade 9 copies trading at $1,875, well above the PSA 10 price of $408, which is a reminder that grading outcomes and market demand do not always move in a straight line. Before you send a copy in, take a hard look at the centering, corners and surface under good light, and go in knowing that grading is a bet, not a guarantee.
How rare is Magneton?
Across all grading companies combined, there are 5,237 graded copies of this Magneton on record, and only 520 of those have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That works out to roughly one in ten graded copies reaching gem mint, which tells you gem quality is genuinely hard to find on this particular print. For collectors, that population gap between total graded and true PSA 10 population is a big part of why the top grade commands such a premium over a raw or lightly graded copy.
Where can you pull Magneton?
This is where PackSpy earns its keep, because we track real pulls across live pack sites rather than just guessing from price guides. Magneton has been pulled 200 or more times across sites like tilt-rips, collector-crypt, courtyard and mnstr, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $300. We have seen it turn up in a mix of packs, from the Novice Pack and Pokemon Starter Pack to the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack and Pokemon Dime Pack, so it is not locked to one single product. That said, opening packs is still a gamble, and most rips do not pay for themselves, so treat any pull as a nice bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Magneton worth?+
A raw, ungraded Magneton 1st Edition #11 from Fossil currently sits around $45. Graded copies climb from there, with a PSA 10 valued at $408 and, notably, Grade 9 copies currently trading even higher at $1,875 in today's market.
Is Magneton worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 9.0 times the raw price, but gem mint copies are genuinely scarce, with only 520 of the 5,237 total graded copies hitting that top grade. Weigh the grading cost against the real chance your card lands a 9 instead of a 10 before you send it in.
Why is the Magneton 1st Edition #11 print worth more than the standard one?+
1st Edition cards from Fossil were part of an early, more limited print run, which collectors have always valued more highly than later reprints of the same card. That scarcity, combined with Magneton's Rare status and Ken Sugimori artwork, is a big part of why this particular printing holds steady demand.
