Pokémon TCG Machamp v #172 Astral Radiance PSA 10 Full Art
Price: $350.00
Machamp V from Astral Radiance, the full art alternate version numbered 172, sitting pretty in a PSA 10 slab. This one’s got that bulky wrestler vibe dialed up.
The artwork shows Machamp mid-flex, all four arms pumping like it’s about to drop the hammer on some poor opponent. Background’s got this gritty arena feel with spotlights and shadows, making the muscles pop without overdoing it. Simple but hits the mark for a fighting type beast.
On the card text side, it’s a basic V Pokémon, Fighting type with 220 HP. Ability is Guts—if it’s affected by a Special Condition, its attacks do 70 more damage. Attacks include Revenge Buster for 100 base (plus 120 more if it took damage last turn) and Seismic Toss for a flat 150. Solid kit for a deck that wants to tank hits and swing back hard. No frills, just raw power.
Astral Radiance dropped in 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield era, pulling from the Japanese Battle Region set. What makes this printing stand out is the alternate art treatment—it’s not the standard V, but this full-frame version that really lets the illustration breathe. The set introduced Radiant Pokémon and VSTAR mechanics, but Machamp here keeps it straightforward as a heavy hitter in Fighting decks. Folks remember it for tying into the Hisuian themes, though Machamp itself is classic Kanto muscle.
In the slab, PSA 10 means edges are sharp, corners pristine, and surface clean as a whistle. Centering’s usually spot-on for these, giving it strong eye appeal with that vibrant color pop on the holo foil. From what I recall on pop reports, the PSA 10 count hovers around 600 or so—decent but not flooding the scene, especially for a full art V.
I’d keep this one on the shelf where it can stare down the rest of the collection, like the gym leader it is.
