Sol Ring

Sol Ring's raw price sits at £1817.09, but if you're thinking of grading, don't bother—a PSA 10 median of £188.83 barely justifies the cost and risk. The gap between grades is brutal: a PSA 10 commands 4.6× what a PSA 9 pulls in (£189 versus £40.79), so only grade a truly flawless copy. Worth noting that PSA 10s have crashed hard, down 71.3% from £658 to £189 on the last crawl, and the card dominates its set, making up 30.4% of Tales of Middle-earth Commander's entire £5,977 value.
