What is Magmortar worth?
Magmortar is a non-holo Rare. In Brilliant Stars, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Magmortar trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Magmortar before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Magmortar grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Magmortar is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Magmortar
For Magmortar, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Magmortar rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
