Summary

This Mega-Lucario (actually M Lucario EX Secret Rare) presents well from the front with decent centering, but the back reveals significant wear. There is noticeable whitening on the back corners and edges, classifying this as Excellent-Mint condition rather than Near Mint.

ROI

The card has too much visible wear on the back (whitening on corners and edges) to achieve a high grade. It would likely grade a 6 or 6.5, which does not add significant value over the raw card price. It is better kept as a binder copy.
