Magikarp PSA 10 price today (AR 080/073): live listings in Japan

The 2026-09-29 sweep found thirty-eight PSA 10 slabs, four PSA 9s and seven raw copies. The listings below were re-checked on 2026-11-02: one PSA 10, one PSA 9 and one raw copy.

Every price in this table is the seller’s listed price for that Magikarp copy, read from the item page on 2026-11-02; the USD figure is the checkout conversion shown alongside it. All rows are Japanese-language prints of the Pokémon TCG^[5], and condition notes are the seller’s own Mercari / Yahoo! Flea Market condition field, translated — Suruga-ya rows are shop stock without one. Seller titles are in Japanese; the tiles further down link to each listing. Mercari itself permits overseas purchases through partner proxy services^[3].

On 2026-09-29 two Yahoo! Flea Market sellers held the floor at ¥32,900 and ¥33,000, the PSA 9s were ¥20,622 and ¥22,000, and raws ran from ¥9,000 (damaged) to ¥16,800 (Suruga-ya shop stock), with a clean copy at ¥13,980. On 2026-11-02 the listings below are a ¥34,500 Mercari PSA 10, a ¥18,999 Mercari PSA 9 (“Unused”, Mercari official authentication available) and an ¥8,200 Yahoo! Flea Market raw copy (listed as a play copy with “Minor Damage and Stains”; Mercari official authentication does not apply to it). Raw is where the condition notes matter, so read the seller photos before you buy.

One scope note: this page prices the Japanese Magikarp 080/073 from Triplet Beat only. English prints of the same artwork have their own collector number, set name and market, and none of the figures here apply to them^[5]. Promos and full-art variants from other sets are separate cards as well — check the number on the PSA label against 080/073 before comparing.

PSA 10 vs raw Magikarp: what a 4.21× premium buys

Against the ¥8,200 raw copy in the listings below, the ¥34,500 slab is a 4.21× premium and a ¥26,300 gap. This is not a grading-cost multiple — grading a ¥300 card costs about the same as grading a ¥13,980 one — it is a scarcity premium on pack-fresh copies of a card people chase. On 2026-11-02 a raw copy that came back a PSA 9 would sit next to a ¥18,999 listing, and a 10 next to a ¥34,500 one; PSA’s fees^[6] and two-way shipping come out of that gap. The ¥8,200 copy is sold as a play copy with a wear note, so it is a weak submission candidate; a clean raw is the copy to look for.

If you want the card and not the project, the ¥34,500 Mercari slab is the buy. The ¥18,999 PSA 9 is a middle option for a collector who wants a slabbed Magikarp for 45% less. The ¥8,200 Yahoo! Flea Market raw (¥8,700–¥8,900 with unboxing photos) is the binder copy; check its wear note in the photos first.

How to order Magikarp AR 080/073 from a Japanese seller

A ¥34,500 slab deserves a couple of extra precautions on the way out of Japan. Here is the sequence.

1. Step 1 — Read the seller’s title and photos. Japanese titles carry the grade (PSA10), the number (080/073) and often the set code; the photos show the cert number on the label.
2. Step 2 — Add to cart on OneMall. No Japanese phone number or address needed — the proxy is the buyer of record on Mercari, and Mercari’s own help pages describe this partner-purchase route^[3].
3. Step 3 — Choose extras. Mercari official authentication (+¥1,700) (OneMall submits the item; Mercari official issues the conclusion; OneMall does not guarantee authenticity)^[1][2] on eligible raw cards, or OneMall’s unboxing photos for a slab.
4. Step 4 — First payment. Item price plus a service fee of ¥300 per item on most marketplaces (from ¥200 per item on Yahoo Auctions and LinkBuy).
5. Step 5 — Second payment and delivery. Once the card is in the warehouse you pick the carrier — ECMS, DHL or Japan Post EMS (DDP) to the US — and can store it free for 90 days after arrival (30 days after consolidation) to combine with other finds; the first six orders consolidate free.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a PSA 10 Magikarp AR 080/073 worth?

The PSA 10 slab in the listings above asks ¥34,500 (US$238.05 before shipping) on Mercari, checked 2026-11-02. On 2026-09-29 in-stock listings ran ¥32,900 to ¥38,000, the two cheapest on Yahoo! Flea Market.

Is the PSA 9 a good buy on this card?

At ¥18,999 (checked 2026-11-02) the PSA 9 is 55% of the cheapest PSA 10 in the listings above — a meaningful discount for a sealed, cert-numbered copy.

Why are there so few raw copies?

Seven raw copies against thirty-eight PSA 10 slabs in the 2026-09-29 sweep. The Triplet Beat Magikarp has been a grading target since release, so most clean pulls are already in holders.

Is it worth grading a raw Magikarp AR myself?

It can be, if you start with a truly clean copy. On 2026-11-02 a PSA 9 lists at ¥18,999 and a PSA 10 at ¥34,500, so either result leaves room over a clean raw’s price for PSA’s fees and shipping; the ¥8,200 raw in the listings above is sold as a play copy with a wear note, which lowers its odds of a 10.

What is the PSA 10 population for Magikarp 080/073?

This page does not quote a population count. PSA publishes the census in its Population Report^[6], and the number moves with every submission batch, so a figure copied here would be stale within weeks. What the market shows instead is live supply: 38 PSA 10 slabs, 4 PSA 9 slabs and 7 raw copies of Magikarp 080/073 in stock on 2026-09-29 — the ratio of slabs to raws is the practical read on how heavily the card has been graded.
