The collector's take on Machamp EX
Is Machamp EX worth grading?
So is Machamp EX worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy sits at $22, a Grade 9 jumps to $84, and a true PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $1,037, which works out to about 46.6 times the raw price. That's a big gap, and it's tempting, but gem mint copies are genuinely hard to land. Centering and edge wear on cards from this era can be sneaky, and grading fees plus turnaround time eat into any profit if your copy comes back a 9 instead of a 10. If you've got a copy that looks sharp in hand, corners clean, centering tight, it's worth a shot. If it's got any soft spots, you're often better off enjoying it raw or selling as is.
How rare is it?
Ancient Origins wasn't a small set, and Ultra Rares from that era were pulled at a rate that made them special without being impossible to find. Machamp EX falls into that same bracket: uncommon enough to hold value, common enough that patient collectors can still track down a raw copy without draining their wallet. High grade copies are naturally scarcer simply because holo foil cards from 2015 show wear easily, and that scarcity at the top end is exactly what pushes the PSA 10 price so far above the raw number.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pack openings across sites rather than relying on guesswork. We've recorded Machamp EX pulled 2 times across courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull coming in at $27. It's also shown up in Pokémon Starter Pack openings, which makes sense given the set it's from. That said, actually landing this card from a pack is rare, most collectors who want one end up buying it directly on the secondary market rather than chasing it through openings, and it's worth remembering that ripping packs is a gamble where the odds usually favor the house, not the opener.

Is Machamp EX worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth roughly 46.6 times the raw price. But gem mint copies are tough to hit, and grading costs money and time, so it's really only worth it if your copy looks clean under a light before you send it in.
