# Machamp #16/144 — Skyridge

## Summary

Skyridge is the last and scarcest chapter of the original run, and a plain Rare Machamp there sits below the holo chase slots that drive the set's reputation. Machamp is a Gen I fan favorite, and Naoyo Kimura's association adds a modest layer of appeal for completionists. The modelled guide sits at $47, up 4% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, with 212 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $151, 3.2 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
