Machamp (49): Rarity & Collectibility
Machamp (49) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a Holo Rare — the shimmering pulls that built the hobby and that set-builders prize most. Cataloged as Holo Rare #49/101 of the Plasma Blast set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Machamp (49)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Machamp (49) (Holo Rare, Plasma Blast #49/101) changes hands at roughly $2.60, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm.

Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.60, Lightly Played $1.45, Moderately Played $1.36, Heavily Played $1.39, Damaged $0.63 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
