Mega Lucario ex — collector's take
Is Mega Lucario ex worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Honestly, it depends on what copy you're holding. A PSA 10 sits at $174, which works out to about 2.2x what the same card fetches raw at $80, and that's a real jump. But a Grade 9 only brings $82, barely above raw once you've paid grading fees and waited months for it to come back. Grading is a bet on your card being flawless: sharp corners, dead-center print, no whitening. If you already suspect a soft corner or a tiny print line, it's usually not worth the risk or the cost. If it looks clean to your eye under good light, it might be worth the shot, just go in knowing gem mint is never guaranteed.
How rare is it?
Right now there are 1,234 total graded copies of Mega Lucario ex on record, and 1,092 of those graded out at PSA 10. That's a striking ratio, most of what's been submitted has come back gem mint, which tells you this card tends to print and cut cleanly. It also means a PSA 10 isn't the rarest thing in the world within the graded population, but the population itself is what keeps the price where it is. Scarcity here is less about hunting for a needle in a haystack and more about a modest, well-defined pool of graded copies that collectors know the size of.
Where to pull it
We've tracked this one being pulled 12 times across packs on mnstr, with the biggest recorded pull coming in at $865, a nice reminder that a single rip can occasionally pay off big. It's shown up in Pack 3 and Pack 2 specifically, so if you're chasing it live, those are the boxes worth watching. That said, 12 recorded pulls is a small number in the grand scheme, and most people who own this card bought it outright rather than pulling it themselves. Opening packs for a specific card is always a gamble, and the honest math says most rips don't cover their cost, but data like this is exactly the kind of thing price guides don't track and we do.
