# Magnemite #43/135 — Plasma Storm

## Summary

Magnemite is a Plasma Storm common, a filler pull that pads out a binder page more than it excites anyone opening a pack. A Gen I Steel-Electric favorite with a loyal following, it draws the occasional set completionist, though little beyond that. A $0.34 modelled guide, down 3% over 30 days on 3 copies traded, says bulk, with 455 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.10 out of Surging Sparks.
