07Why Collectors Want It

From Expedition Base Set (2002), the first English e-Card set, with holos now scarce in high grade.
The holo rare is the card here; Expedition holos are notoriously hard to grade clean.
A solid vintage pickup for Machamp and Expedition collectors.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Machamp with 120 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Terraforming

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may look at the top 4 cards of your deck and rearrange them as you like. This power can't be used if Machamp is affected by a Special Condition.

Iron Fist Cost: Fighting + Fighting + Colorless + Colorless · 50+ damage

Count the number of Pokémon you have in play with damage counters on them. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 50 damage plus 10 more damage for each of those Pokémon.

Weakness: Psychic ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 Gem Mint realizes ~$1,972 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Very low Gem-Mint population — Expedition holos suffer from centering and print-line issues.

Other graders: PSA dominates; BGS/CGC examples are scarce.
