Magmar was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one. By checklist position it is 36 of 102, which puts it in the middle third of the binder. Its binder neighbours are Magikarp (#35) and Nidorino (#37). 39 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 50.
Which printing you are holding
Magmar was printed three times over, and the three do not trade alike. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. So Magmar will be priced three times over, not once: a blended median across the three would be a figure nobody paid.
