What Is Magneton Worth?
Magneton (Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from Base Set, card number 009/102. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it carries real mid-range value and is worth keeping protected in a sleeve and top-loader.
Magneton Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Magneton (Base Set, 009/102) is worth around $33.33 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $33.33, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $5.07. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $33.33, Lightly Played $17.44, Moderately Played $9.26, Heavily Played $7.94, Damaged $5.07 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $950.00 — about 29x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $159.99.
Is It Worth Grading Magneton?
Grading Magneton can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($33.33) and a PSA 10 ($950.00) is about $916.67 — a 29x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $159.99, CGC 10 $399.97, CGC 9.5 $95.00. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
