What's your copy worth?
The top 5% of this card's sales — pack-fresh examples — sold for $22.06 or more. That's about +159% over a typical Near Mint copy.
ⓘ How do we work this out?
We take every real sale of this exact card over the last 12 months (51 sales), sort them by price, and read off the top 15% and top 5%. No multipliers, no guesses — the prices cleaner copies actually fetched.
Why cleaner copies cost more: buyers can see condition in the photos and pay for it. Listings sellers describe as pack fresh or gem mint land in this top band 1.7× more often than ordinary ones — the premium follows the card, not the hype.
Copies in this band are also the ones collectors send to grading: far more likely than a typical binder copy to be submitted at all — and to come back with the strong grade that carries the PSA prices shown on this page. That prospect is part of what buyers are paying for here.
These are read straight off this card's own completed sales — sort them by price and take the top 15% and top 5%. Whether your copy qualifies is a judgment made by looking at the card.

The range is wide because these sales span different printings and conditions — 1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited copies all carry this card's name, and they trade at very different levels. Each sale above is labelled with what its listing claimed, so you can see which ones describe the same object. Treat the median as the typical copy, not the range.

Is Machamp worth grading?
Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 29.2% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$95); most land at PSA 9 or below.
The odds
Machamp is a Rare in Expedition Base Set — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 67% of the time, split across 40 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 60 packs.
Estimates only. Pack odds come from CardTrack's pack model (the same one behind the pack simulator) — not an official rate. Grading odds are the real cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies, so it overstates the true first-submission gem rate. Full grade-by-grade breakdown below.
Grade-by-grade ROI & risk-adjusted outcomesNet vs raw per target grade, plus the probability-weighted distribution
| Target grade | Est. value | Grading fee | Net vs raw | Multiple |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | $175.00 | $72 | +$95 | 20.5× |
| PSA 9 | $39.78 | $70 | −$39 | 4.7× |
| PSA 8 | $23.01 | $70 | −$56 | 2.7× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 250 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 29.2% | $175.00 |
| PSA 9 | 36% | $40.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 34.8% | $17.00 |
Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-06-28; the paused PSA Value tier is excluded so this isn't overstated. Gem rate is estimated from cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies — so it overstates the true grade rate. Treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.
Population across gradersPSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — every grade, with gem rates
Only 29% of 253 PSA-graded Machamp copies are a gem-mint 10 (73 of 253) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — a lower gem rate means a Machamp 10 is harder to pull.

A typical Near Mint copy sells for $10.40. Grading-candidate copies — the cleanest 15% of sales — typically fetch $11.00 (+6%). Pack-fresh examples — the top 5% — go for about $26.90.
From 10 sales in the last 12 months. These describe the market — whether a specific copy is a grading candidate is a judgment made by looking at it.
For context: a graded PSA 6 slab of this card sells for about $20 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
