Machamp from the 1999 Pokemon Base Set 1st Edition is unique because every Machamp printed in English Base Set received the 1st Edition stamp, as they were only available in the 2-Player Starter Set. This Fighting-type holo rare features the powerful Supermon Pokemon with 100 HP and the iconic Strikes Back attack. Despite being technically common as a 1st Edition, it remains a nostalgic favorite from the original Pokemon TCG era.
The Card Official's ruling
HOLD - While every Base Set Machamp is 1st Edition, high grade examples (PSA 9-10) maintain steady collector demand due to nostalgia and completion appeal. Price appreciation is modest compared to true scarce 1st Edition holos, but PSA 10s command significant premiums and the card remains a staple for vintage Pokemon collectors.
