Such is the case, however, when the Gyarados card from that same set has already gone down as one of the worst busts in Pok\u00e9mon TCG history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of this Magikarp card&#8217;s value stems from its status as a Master Ball Mirror print. This unique card background featuring the most powerful of all Pok\u00e9 Balls adds a layer of exclusivity to every card that possesses it, jacking up such cards&#8217; value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This card is actually more gameplay-viable than its evolution because at the very least its Splashy Splash attack allows the player to draw cards depending on the number of consecutive coin flips that turn up heads. Evolving this Magikarp into the Gyarados from the same set, however, forces the player to discard the top five cards of the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In English, this card is card 129\/165 of the 151 [MEW] expansion set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One copy of a Magikarp Master Ball Mirror (Pok\u00e9mon Card 151 [SV2a] 129\/165) card sells for 7,500 JPY (~US$50).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other TCG-related news, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/03\/28\/yu-gi-oh-tcg-the-winged-dragon-of-ra-is-still-iconic-quarter-century-chronicle-sidepride-qccp-jp200\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Winged Dragon of Ra card from Quarter Century Chronicle side:Pride<\/a>.
