Machamp VMAX 073/189 Astral Radiance Full Art Ultra Rare Holo Pokemon Card * New
Price: $10.76
Machamp VMAX from Astral Radiance, card number 073/189, clocks in as an ultra rare full art holo in raw condition. This one’s fresh out of the pack, no grading slab in sight, just that straight-from-the-booster vibe collectors chase. The artwork pops with Machamp in full VMAX glory, muscles flexed against a dynamic background that pulls you right into the battle scene. You know how those full arts go— the holo catches light like crazy, shifting colors as you tilt it under the shop lights.
On the card text side, it’s a Fighting type with a solid 330 HP. Its main attack is G-Max Chi Strike, dealing 300 damage while powering up your next attack by an extra 100 if you attach a Fighting Energy. No Ability here, but that VMAX rule means it evolves from Machamp V, and when it’s knocked out, your opponent takes three Prize cards. Simple, brute-force stuff that fits the Pokémon’s wrestling champ theme. Short and punchy for decks that love to swing big.
Astral Radiance dropped back in 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield era, pulling from the Japanese Star Birth set. This expansion had a mix of VSTARs and VMAXes, with Machamp VMAX being one of those hefty fighters that showed up in competitive play for a bit. Raw copies often come with decent centering from the factory, though you might spot the occasional off-center holo pattern or slight print line—nothing out of the ordinary for mass-produced cards. The card stock feels thick and sturdy, typical for ultra rares, holding up well without bends if handled right.
Diving into raw condition details, the corners on this one look sharp, no dings or whitening from rough shuffling. Edges are clean, straight as they come, with minimal silvering that sometimes creeps in on holos. Surface is smooth, free of scratches or dents, and that full art holo flash is intact, no clouding or haze to dull the shine. Centering sits around 60/40, which is par for the course in this set, giving it that authentic pack-fresh appeal without any major flaws jumping out.
Sleeve it quick or send it to grading—your call.
