Price: $50.00
Machamp from Champion’s Path, holo rare, locked in a PSA 10 slab. This one’s got that classic four-armed brute vibe, artwork showing it mid-flex with a serious glare, like it’s about to crush a boulder just for fun. Simple but effective—reminds you why Machamp’s been a powerhouse since the early days.
On the card text, it’s a Fighting type with 170 HP. No Ability here, keeping it straightforward. Attacks are Strength for 80 damage with one Fighting Energy—basic punch—and Macho Revenge for a hefty 200, but you discard two Energy from it to pull that off. Solid for a Stage 2 evo from Machop line, hits hard if you build around energy acceleration.
Champion’s Path dropped in 2020 as a special set, themed around Gym Leaders and their Pokémon. It’s a smaller release, only 73 cards plus secrets, which makes holos like this Machamp stand out without the massive print runs of main sets. Not the rarest printing of Machamp out there, but this holo captures that championship feel, tying into the set’s focus on tough trainers and battles. You see it pop up in decks that want raw power without fancy gimmicks.
For the slab, PSA 10 means pristine all around—edges sharp, surface clean, no whitening. Centering’s likely spot-on, giving it that balanced eye appeal where the holo foil shines evenly without pulling your gaze weird. Corners? Flawless, no dings. As for pop, from what I’ve seen in reports, it’s around 1,200 or so in PSA 10, not ultra-low but respectable for a modern holo that collectors chase for the set completion or Machamp fans.
I’d stash this one in a display case next to some Base Set muscle, just to show off the evolution of the big guy over the years. Feels like a nod to the old school while fitting right into today’s collections.
