# Magneton #20/144 — Skyridge

## Summary

Magneton is a Gen I Steel-type with a modest but steady following, and Skyridge sits at the very end of the Wizards run, when print runs were small and the set became a collector favorite. A regular Rare there was a mid-tier pull, and that scarcity drives the interest here. At a $39 modelled guide, with 5 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Mega Evolution; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
