Pokémon Machamp VMAX 073/189 Astral Radiance Ultra Rare Holo 10 Full Art
Price: $119.99
Machamp VMAX from Astral Radiance, card number 073/189, clocks in as an ultra rare full art holo in raw condition. This one’s got that beefy Fighting-type vibe, with the big guy flexing in a dynamic pose against a starry backdrop that really pops under the lights. The holo pattern swirls around his muscles, catching reflections in a way that makes the card feel alive when you tilt it just right.
On the text side, it’s a VMAX Pokémon with 330 HP, evolving from Machamp V. Its Ability is Strong-Arm Mastery, letting you discard a card to power up attacks, and the main hits are Revenge Buster for 130 damage (more if your opponent’s benched Pokémon have damage) and the big G-Max Chi Strike that slams for 300 while potentially confusing the foe. Solid for Fighting decks that need that heavy-hitting presence without too much setup fuss.
Astral Radiance dropped in 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield era, pulling from the Japanese Star Birth set. These cards often show up with decent print quality, but raw copies can have those typical centering quirks—sometimes the borders lean a bit left or right, and the card stock feels sturdy but prone to minor edge wear if not handled carefully. Holo sheets from this set tend to have a subtle galaxy-like foil that doesn’t overpower the art, though you might spot faint print lines if you’re picky.
For raw condition, let’s talk a clean example: corners are sharp, no dings or rounding from shuffling mishaps. Edges look white and crisp, free of whitening or chips that plague pocket-stored cards. Surface is smooth, with no scratches marring the full art illustration, and the holo flash is even, giving that satisfying snap without haze or bubbling. Centering might hover around 60/40 on a good pull, but it’s playable straight out of the pack.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it chill in a top loader—either way, it’s ready for the table.
