What Is Magikarp Worth?
Magikarp (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Common card from the SM - Crimson Invasion set, card number 17/111. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Magikarp Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Magikarp (SM - Crimson Invasion, 17/111) is worth around $0.72 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.72, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.12. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.72, Lightly Played $0.57, Moderately Played $0.37, Heavily Played $0.49, Damaged $0.12 — 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 $169.99 — about 236x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $25.00.
Is It Worth Grading Magikarp?
