The cheapest copy on the market at £5.40 is graded LP with flags, so a clean played example will ask noticeably more. Every single UK listing is a played copy—Near Mint is the genuinely scarce variant here. Asks range from £5.40 to £12.99, meaning the floor is 58% under the median, which tells you condition and eye appeal matter. This card carries significant weight in the set at 24.5% of total value, so it's worth hunting for the best played copy you can find rather than settling for the cheapest.
