This card's been sat at £772.64 for 27 days while the set itself climbed 5.6% — not a great sign. The real issue is the market: only 2 UK sellers with the cheapest asking £950, which is well above what raw copies have actually shifted for — five sales in the last 90 days averaged £620, with the most recent at that price on 9 September. A PSA 10 graded copy at £1110.35 barely justifies the cost over raw either, so don't bother with grading. The manga printing does command serious money — 174 times what you'd pay for the plain version — but that's reflected in the thin dealer markup, not collector demand right now.

• CautionPSA 10 barely beats raw here (1.2×). Don't pay to grade.

• NotableRaw copies actually sell for £620 (5 UK sales in 90 days, latest £620 on 9 Sep); the cheapest ask is £950.
