Magikarp — Base Set 2 50
Market price
TCGplayer · snapshot Aug 13, 2026| Market (US) | Listings low–high | Europe avg | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | $2.33 | $0.39 – $12.25 | €1.44 |
United States vs Europe
Same card, normal print, two marketplaces.
Europe is 29% cheaper than the US for this print. Before acting on that, count shipping across the Atlantic, customs on the way in, and the risk of a card travelling in an envelope.
Converted at the European Central Bank reference rate for 2026-08-12. Currency moves on its own — the gap shown here is the gap on that date.
Last 30 days
Cardmarket rolling averages for the normal print.
| Window | Average sale |
|---|---|
| Last 24 hours | €0.70 |
| Last 7 days | €1.55 |
| Last 30 days | €1.12 |
The 24-hour average has fallen 38% against the 30-day average — €1.12 to €0.70. A single day is a thin sample; treat it as direction, not as a price.
Note the weekly average of €1.55 sitting outside both the daily and the monthly figure. That happens when only a handful of copies change hands, and one sale drags the average with it. On a card this thinly traded, none of these three numbers is a price you can count on.
About this card’s market
Asking prices run from $0.39 to $12.25. A spread that wide says more about individual listings than about the card — the market price above is what copies actually sold for.
TCGplayer Direct has it at $0.99, below the market price — that is the cheapest verified-condition copy sitting in their warehouse right now.
In Europe the card has been sliding: the 24-hour average is 38% below the 30-day one.
It sits 47th of 122 priced cards in Base Set 2.
It is a Uncommon card, printed in 2000, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita.
It has been out of tournament play for two decades — what is left is collector demand.
