The collector's take on Mega Lucario Ex
Is Mega Lucario Ex worth grading?
So is it worth sending Mega Lucario Ex off to get graded? Here is the honest math: a raw copy runs $204, a Grade 9 actually comes in a touch lower at $203, and a PSA 10 jumps up to $424, which works out to about 2.1 times the raw price. That gap only rewards you if the card comes back gem mint, and centering issues or a soft corner can just as easily land you a Grade 9 that is worth basically the same as staying raw. Add in grading fees and the wait time, and you are making a bet on your own eyes and the card's condition. If you already have a copy that looks flawless under a loupe, the upside is real. If it has any visible wear, you might be better off enjoying it raw or selling as is rather than gambling on a grading fee for a Grade 9 outcome.
How rare is Mega Lucario Ex?
Right now there are 15,715 total graded copies of Mega Lucario Ex on record, and out of those, 10,141 have come back as PSA 10. That is a strikingly high gem mint rate for a special illustration rare, which tells you the card was printed and handled well enough that hitting a 10 is not some rare miracle, it is a realistic outcome if your copy is clean going in. That said, a bigger population does not mean the card is cheap, it means the market has had time to settle on a fair number, and $424 for a PSA 10 reflects steady demand from collectors who want the best version of this art in their binder.
Where can you pull Mega Lucario Ex?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we do not just quote a price guide, we watch real pack sites pull real cards. Mega Lucario Ex has been recorded 200 or more times across collector-crypt, courtyard, and tilt-rips, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $400. It has turned up in a handful of pack types too, including the Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Starter Pack, Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, and the Pokemon Starter Pack lineup. That is genuinely useful if you are chasing this one, though it is worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips do not come close to covering what you paid, so treat these numbers as a guide to where it shows up, not a promise you will hit one.
