# Magikarp #17/111 — Crimson Invasion

## Summary

Magikarp is a bulk common, but the Submerge ability, safe from all attack damage on the Bench, made it a real if modest utility Basic in Water decks of its day. Fans love the famously useless fish, and TOKIYA's name adds a small collector hook to an otherwise easy pull. The modelled guide sits at $0.37, down 10% over 30 days on 135 copies traded, with only 11 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
