What Is Giovanni's Machop Worth?
Giovanni's Machop (Unlimited variant) is a Common card from the Gym Challenge set, card number 072/132. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Giovanni's Machop Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Giovanni's Machop (Gym Challenge, 072/132) is worth around $1.03 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.03, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.27. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.03, Lightly Played $0.67, Moderately Played $0.42, Heavily Played $0.38, Damaged $0.27 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $34.99 — about 34x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $29.00.
Is It Worth Grading Giovanni's Machop?
Grading Giovanni's Machop can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.03) and a PSA 10 ($34.99) is about $33.96 — a 34x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $29.00, CGC 10 $49.00, PSA 8 $10.75. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
