VALUE
What is Machamp #8 from Base Set worth?
Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Machamp #8 (Base Set) carries a market reference of $112.85 USD for the trend printing (Cardmarket trend price, as of 2026-07-01). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - our own graded marks for this card are charted and tabled below, per grader and grade. Both are references, not offers. The graded copy in our machine carries a Rip Station estimated slab value of $110.25 (PSA 6).
