Market Price and Value of the Magby Pokémon Card
The current aggregated market price for Magby is about $11.54. TCGplayer listing prices for this printing span roughly $3.99 (lowest listed) to $167 (highest listed), with a mid-point near $14.44. The high end of that spread often reflects outlier asking prices well above what copies typically sell for, so treat the market price above — not the top of the listing range — as the going rate. These figures are aggregated from marketplace data and change over time; the live price and full price history are shown above on this page.
For context, the Neo Genesis set has a median card value near $4.72 and an average near $42.97, so this card sits below the typical card in the set.
