The market's telling you two things: the card is collapsing and the asks don't match reality. It's down 23.2% this week and 38.7% this month, sitting at its 30-day low of £1,056, yet 24 UK sellers are asking from £266 to £519 with a median of £519—the cheapest copy is 49% under the middle. Don't trust the Cardmarket trend of £1,056 against those asks; price to what's actually listed. Raw copies have shifted 20 times in 90 days (about 3 a week), with a median sale of £597, but the latest went for £907 back in October, so there's real demand if the condition's right—bear in mind the cheapest asking copy is graded LP, and 69% of UK stock is played, making a clean Near Mint example genuinely scarce.
