07Why Collectors Want It

  • Final evolution of the Machop line — its 1999 Base Set #8 holo (the iconic 2-Player Starter Set 1st Edition print) is a classic WotC chase.
  • Required for any complete Machamp master set across eras.
  • Collectors of the Generations set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: Niche

Stage 2 Machamp with 150 HP; top attack near 80 damage — playable in casual or rogue lists, not a competitive staple.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
