# Magnemite #52/147 — Aquapolis

## Summary

Magnemite is a Gen I Steel-type staple that fans have long liked for its odd, unmistakable charm, and Aquapolis uncommons like it were the fill-in pulls between chase slots. Shin-ichi Yoshida's name adds a modest draw for illustrator completionists, but demand here stays mostly nostalgic. At a $13 modelled guide, with 5 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.07 out of Surging Sparks; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
