# Magneton #26/62 — Fossil

## Summary

Magneton is a Gen I Electric Stage 1 with a steady fan base, and the Fossil printing credits Ken Sugimori, who shaped the original Pokémon designs. Its Selfdestruct was a bench-sniping novelty in the Wizards era, but as a plain Rare it was a mid-tier pull. The modelled guide sits at $7.34, up 2% over 30 days on 35 copies traded, with 1,727 days of inventory sitting on the board; a CGC 10 brings $75, 10 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
