07Why Collectors Want It

  • Legendary Collection (2002) was the set that introduced reverse-holo "mirror foil" cards to the Pokémon TCG; its reverses are now among the most hunted vintage commons.
  • The reverse holo (~$92) is the prize; the standard #79 is a common.
  • Surface and centering issues keep clean copies scarce.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Machop with 50 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
