2 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 100. Its binder neighbours are Hitmonchan (#7) and Magneton (#9). Machamp is one of 16 cards printed with a holofoil panel in this set. By checklist position it is 8 of 102, which puts it in the first third of the binder.

Which printing you are holding

Which Machamp you are holding is decided before grade is: the set ran in three printings. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. Priced, Machamp would carry one cell per printing — blending three print runs into one median states a price no one paid.
