# Magcargo #27/236 — Cosmic Eclipse

## Summary

Magcargo is a Johto Fire type with a modest but steady following, loved for being a living lava snail that few other Pokémon resemble. As a plain Rare in Cosmic Eclipse it was a mid-tier pull, so Miki Tanaka's printing draws quiet completists rather than chase hunters. A $0.28 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 8 copies traded, says bulk, with 480 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.12 out of Temporal Forces.
