I have around 7, maybe more, rare holos that I recently acquired in a lot from a thrift store. Most are in REALLY good condition, kept in a plastic sleeve probably since they were originally bought in the 90s/early 2000s. I’ve been trying to figure out how to price them to sell and the numbers on Ebay are just all over the place. For example, I have a holo Machamp in probably gem mint condition…saw that it sold for $10,000 on Ebay this past October!! Now that would be AMAZING, but I’m guessing not the usual?! LOL

Would you say those are the prices for all the ones I listed? Or just 1st editions? Also…is it worth getting these graded officially, will the value go up exponentially?

If any look pack fresh then maybe grade but all are really quite common so 50.00+ seems right.

There is no Machamp that has sold for $10k recently at all. Link please if you have any proof otherwise.

The creme de la creme of Machamps is a PSA 10 1st edition shadowless which is worth about $500.

Ah yes that would be worth more, but nowhere near $10k still. There is one on eBay now for $5k.

Edit to add: OP is talking only about holos, so that excludes this one, but still it is indeed likely more valuable counting all Machamps.
