Why this card
Andúril, Flame of the West 746z from The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth is a real raw-to-PSA hunt. Art by Micha Huigen. PSA has 12 10s out of 82 graded (14.6% gem rate), which is hard enough that cherry-picked centering still has an edge. Raw sits around €61 against a €1554 10. This print is off the shelves — raw supply is whatever the secondary market still holds. Submission EV is about €132 after Value-tier fees — buy the cleanest raw you can find and send it.
