# Machamp #9/92 — Legend Maker

## Summary

Machamp is a Kantō Fighting staple with a loyal following, and Kouki Saitou's name on a Legend Maker Rare adds a small draw for illustrator completists. The Special Energy discard from Derail had real use in its era, though this stayed a mid-tier pull rather than a chase slot. The modelled guide sits at $43, up 3% over 30 days on 5 copies traded, with 242 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $249, 5.7 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
