The cheapest raw copy listed at £78.70 is flagged as played condition—a clean one will command more. The set is only 1 week old, so expect prices to drift downward over the next couple of months before they settle. Don't bother grading; a PSA 10 median of £90.55 barely justifies the cost against raw copies selling for a median of £83.25 across 55 sales in the last 90 days. Raw stock shifts regularly at around 27.5 sales a week, so there's genuine demand, but the 73 UK sellers range from £78.70 to £126, with played copies making up over half the listings—Near Mint is the harder find here.
