Magikarp #035/102 1st Edition price and PSA 10 value

Magikarp 035 grading math

Here is what you keep at each grade if you buy the card raw at today's price, pay PSA and $5 shipping, and sell the slab with a 13% selling fee. PSA's fee depends on what the card is worth after grading: it bills you up to the right tier if the card comes back worth more (the upcharge). PSA's cheapest open tier is Standard ($59.99). If this card grades a 10 it lands in Super Express ($349), so your all-in cost is $546.

Grade	Sells for	PSA fee at that value	You make
PSA 10	$3,225	Super Express $349	+$2,259.41
PSA 9	$433	Standard $59.99	+$119.38
PSA 8	$244	Standard $59.99	−$44.74

The slab has to sell for at least $628 to break even. A PSA 10 sells for about 17 times the raw price, and a PSA 9 for about 2.3 times.

Other grades: a 9.5 sells for about $588 and a BGS 10 for about $4,193.

PSA's cheaper Value tiers are paused right now. If they reopen (from $24.99 a card), a PSA 10 of this card would make +$2,259.41 and a PSA 9 +$154.38. PSA tiers checked September 20, 2026. See PSA grading cost and tiers and the full list of cards worth grading for profit.

Before you grade this card

Vintage holos scratch easily and old print runs were often off-centre, so high grades are rare. Check the holo under a bright light and look hard at the back edges for whitening. Graders score centering, corners, edges and surface, and the lowest of the four usually sets the grade. Our guide to card grading shows what to look for and compares PSA, BGS and CGC.
