TL;DR
Magikarp AR (080/073) from Triplet Beat is the most expensive art rare in this series: ¥32,900 to ¥38,000 in a PSA 10 slab today, PSA 9 copies at ¥20,622–¥22,000, and raw copies from ¥9,000 (damaged) to ¥16,800 (shop stock). The cheapest slab is 3.7× the cheapest raw — a small multiple, because the raw card is already a ¥13,980 card when clean.
- Cheapest PSA 10: ¥32,900 (US$227.01) on Yahoo! Flea Market; a second at ¥33,000, then Mercari from ¥34,980.
- PSA 9 at ¥20,622 is 63% of the cheapest 10 — the middle grade has a real market here.
- Raw: ¥9,000 with damage, ¥13,980 clean, ¥16,800 from Suruga-ya.
- Only seven raw copies in stock against thirty-eight PSA 10 slabs — most Magikarps have already been graded.
As of September 2026, the Triplet Beat Magikarp art rare is the card that turned a joke Pokémon into a five-figure yen slab, and the supply tells the story: thirty-eight PSA 10s in stock, seven raws.
Here is a same-day read of Magikarp AR 080/073 in PSA 10, PSA 9 and raw on Japanese marketplaces, what the 3.7× gap means on a card this expensive, and how to buy one from Japan.

Every price in this table is the seller’s listed price for that Magikarp copy, read from the item page on 2026-09-20; 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].
Two Yahoo! Flea Market sellers hold the floor at ¥32,900 and ¥33,000, both describing unused slabs; Mercari follows at ¥34,980, ¥35,599 with authentication enabled, and ¥38,000. That is a ¥5,100 spread on five copies — wide in yen, narrow in percentage terms for a card at this level. The PSA 9s at ¥20,622 and ¥22,000 are both authentication-eligible Mercari listings and both priced like a serious card. Raw is where the condition notes matter: the ¥9,000 copy is flagged with damage, the ¥13,980 copy is described as clean with no obvious wear, and Suruga-ya asks ¥16,800 for shop stock. Seven raw copies in total is thin supply for a set that has been open for years, and it explains why the slab market is so deep.

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 3.66× premium buys
Against the clean ¥13,980 raw, the ¥32,900 slab is a 2.4× premium; against the damaged ¥9,000 copy it is 3.7×. Either way 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 actually chase. That changes the self-submission arithmetic. A clean raw at ¥13,980 that comes back a PSA 9 is a ¥20,622 card; one that comes back a 10 is a ¥32,900 card. Both outcomes beat the purchase price by a margin that covers PSA’s fees[6], which makes Magikarp AR one of the few cards on this board where sending your own copy in is a defensible bet rather than a gamble. The catch is finding a clean raw — there are two in stock.
| Route | Cost today (JPY, before shipping) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the cheapest PSA 10 slab | ¥32,900 | Grade already locked in; you pay the full premium, nothing to wait for. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy as-is | ¥9,000 | Cheapest way to own the artwork; condition is whatever the photos show. |
| Buy the cheapest raw copy with Mercari authentication | ¥10,700 | ¥9,000 + ¥1,700 authentication fee[1]; the card is checked for authenticity before it ships, but it is still ungraded. |
If you want the card and not the project, the ¥32,900 Yahoo! Flea Market slab is the buy and the ¥33,000 copy is the backup. The ¥20,622 PSA 9 is a fair middle for a collector who wants a sealed Magikarp for a third less. The ¥13,980 clean raw with authentication[1] (¥15,680) is the submission candidate.
How to order Magikarp AR 080/073 from a Japanese seller
A ¥32,900 slab deserves a couple of extra precautions on the way out of Japan. Here is the sequence.
- 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.
- 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].
- Step 3 — Choose extras. Mercari authentication (+¥1,700)[1][2] on eligible raw cards, or OneMall’s unboxing photos for a slab.
- Step 4 — First payment. Item price plus a service fee that starts at ¥200 per order.
- Step 5 — Second payment and delivery. Once the card is in the warehouse you pick the carrier — ECMS or DHL to the US — and can hold it up to 90 days to combine with other finds.

Conclusion
Magikarp AR 080/073 is a scarce card with a deep graded market: ¥32,900 gem mint, ¥20,622 for a 9, and clean raws at ¥13,980 when you can find them. Buy the slab for certainty, or the clean raw if you like a project with the odds on your side. See every Magikarp 080/073 PSA 10 listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a PSA 10 Magikarp AR 080/073 worth?
In-stock Japanese listings on 2026-09-20 price the PSA 10 at ¥32,900 to ¥38,000 (about US$227–262 before shipping); the two cheapest are Yahoo! Flea Market slabs.
Is the PSA 9 a good buy on this card?
At ¥20,622 the PSA 9 is 63% of the cheapest PSA 10 — a meaningful discount for a sealed, cert-numbered copy of a card whose clean raw already costs ¥13,980.
Why are there so few raw copies?
Seven raw copies against thirty-eight PSA 10 slabs in today’s 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?
More than for almost any other art rare. A ¥13,980 clean raw becomes a ¥20,622 card as a 9 or a ¥32,900 card as a 10, so either result covers the fees — provided the copy you start with is genuinely clean.
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 2026-09-20 — the ratio of slabs to raws is the practical read on how heavily the card has been graded.
