07Why Collectors Want It

Skyridge 'H' crosshatch holos are e-Card-era scarcities — this Machamp verified ~$225 raw, with PSA 10 copies ~$3,673.
The top Machamp by value, ahead of the iconic (but abundant) Base Set #8 holo.
Skyridge is the scarcest WotC set, so gem-mint copies are genuinely tough to find.
Required for a Skyridge or Machop-line master set.

08Competitive Playability

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$3,673 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Skyridge crosshatch holos chip and scratch easily; PSA 10 population is low and premiums over raw are steep.

Other graders: CGC and BGS also grade Skyridge; PSA leads on resale liquidity.
