# Machamp EX #37/98 — Ancient Origins

## Summary

Machamp is a Gen I stalwart whose four-armed bruiser design keeps a loyal fanbase, and it was a long-running Fighting staple long before this EX. In Ancient Origins an Ultra Rare EX sat in the chase tier, so demand comes from both nostalgia and Eske Yoshinob's name. The modelled guide sits at $5.11, up 3% over 30 days on 33 copies traded, with 60 days of inventory on the board; PSA 10s at $259 are only 51 times raw with a 34% gem rate, so grading barely breaks even.
