Magneton is one of 16 cards printed with a holofoil panel in this set. By checklist position it is 9 of 102, which puts it in the first third of the binder. Its binder neighbours are Machamp (#8) and Mewtwo (#10). 27 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 60.

Which printing you are holding

Magneton 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. Priced, Magneton would carry one cell per printing — blending three print runs into one median states a price no one paid.
