# Magby #186/182 — Paradox Rift

## Summary

Magby is a Johto baby Pokémon, and baby Fire types like it draw a devoted crowd of collectors who buy the small and charming first. Mina Nakai is a respected name among illustration-rare fans, and in Paradox Rift this rarity tier was the main chase layer below the ex hits. The modelled guide sits at $22, down 6% over 30 days on 110 copies traded, with 51 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $187, 8.5 times raw, but a 36% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
