$280
Ungraded
PSA 10 $5,708
Moderate data
Magcargo rises in a close side view, its glossy red magma body dripping over a dark, cracked shell, set against a cosmos-style holo field of glittering sparkles. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, the art has a soft, painterly realism that gives the lava real weight. Skyridge holos from the late e-Card era are famously hard to find, so even a quieter Pokémon like this draws steady collector interest.

Magcargo ex shows the lava snail in a smooth, rendered style, its glossy red body and wide goggle eyes set against a dark, ember-flecked volcanic backdrop, with a bluish rocky shell glinting through the holo. Art by Hikaru Koike, it carries the sparkly star-pattern border of the early EX era, and collectors chase it as one of the scarcer Pokémon-ex holos from the Dragon set.

Magcargo sits upright in a volcanic hollow, its molten body drooping in thick red drips under a gray shell while a small flame flickers behind it, all rendered in a soft, painterly style by Hajime Kusajima.

PSA 10 $510
Moderate data
Magcargo is painted from behind, its glossy red body and dark cracked shell set against a cold blue sky and misty volcanic peaks, with a curl of flame rising off the shell. Art by Mitsuhiro Arita gives it a moody, almost photographic feel. Skyridge rares draw steady interest as part of the final, hard-to-complete e-Card era, and this Fighting-type Magcargo is an unusual oddity there.
