Machamp (16): Rarity & Collectibility
Machamp (16) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #016/144 of the Skyridge 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 (16)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Machamp (16) (Rare, Skyridge #016/144) changes hands at roughly $63.75, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $63.75, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $28.59. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $63.75, Lightly Played $28.69, Moderately Played $46.69, Heavily Played $35.00, Damaged $28.59 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Machamp (16) is valued near $700.00 — about 11x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Machamp (16): Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Machamp (16) sits around $700.00 — roughly 11x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $94.42, CGC 10 $309.00, CGC 9.5 $84.99 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
