# Magikarp #8/18 — Detective Pikachu

## Summary

Magikarp from Detective Pikachu is a bulk common, a pull that fills a binder page rather than a chase slot. The film tie-in gives it a quirky footnote, and Framestore, the visual effects studio behind the movie, as illustrator is unusual, which is about all the pull it has beyond Gen I Water completionists. The modelled guide sits at $0.96, up 4% over 30 days on 84 copies traded, with only 3 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $264, 275 times raw, but a 28% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
