# Magneton #53/162 — BREAKthrough

## Summary

Magneton is a Gen I Electric-Steel mainstay that fans of the original 151 tend to keep around, and Tomokazu Komiya is a long-serving Pokémon illustrator whose name appeals to artist-focused collectors. As a mid-tier Stage 1 uncommon in BREAKthrough, it was a filler pull, so demand stays modest and nostalgic. At a $0.34 modelled guide, down 11% over 30 days on 32 copies traded, with 546 days of inventory on the board, 56% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.15 out of Mega Evolution; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
