Mega Lucario Ex Appraisal

Mega Lucario EX Full Art Gold Trainer Card (Custom/Proxy)

This item is a collectible card, specifically a full-art, gold-colored rendering of Mega Lucario EX, likely a custom or proxy card rather than an officially released Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) product. The card features a highly stylized, metallic gold surface with a holographic or foil finish that reflects light dynamically. The central illustration depicts Mega Lucario, rendered in a solid gold silhouette with intricate etched lines that define its form and energy auras. The background also contributes to the golden theme with detailed, swirling patterns. The card mimics the layout of a standard Pokémon TCG card, displaying the character's name 'Mega Lucario EX', a combat power of '2340', and two attacks: 'Aura Jab' with an attack value of '130' and 'Mega Brave' with an attack value of '270'. These values are significantly higher than those typically found on official Pokémon TCG cards, which is a strong indicator of it being a custom or novelty item. There are also what appear to be energy costs for the attacks and ability text, though these are difficult to read due to the gold-on-gold color scheme and resolution. The overall condition appears excellent, likely due to being kept in a plastic sleeve or top loader, which has protected its reflective surface. No significant wear, scratches, or damage are visible. The craftsmanship suggests it's a well-produced custom card, aiming for a premium, artistic aesthetic, rather than a functional piece for gameplay in official tournaments. The edges appear clean and sharp, and the card stock seems rigid, maintaining its shape within the protective casing. There are no visible manufacturer's marks or official set symbols, further suggesting it's not an official release.
