Analysis

Analysis by , Fiorillo Media Company. Data-driven from PSA POP Report, eBay sold listings, and live TCGplayer market prices.

Palantír of Orthanc sits in The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. On the era basket vs S&P 500 picture, this period has returned +39 pp alpha across 19 tracked sealed products, with a basket CAGR of 18.8% against SPXTR's 12.6%.

Current TCGplayer market sits at $3,000. I don't have granular pop or per-grade comps for this card yet, so the grading thesis stays conservative until commercial pop data lands.

Honestly, the call here gets clearer once we have grader-level pop data. Right now the comp tells you what someone paid, not what a graded copy should fetch. Adjacent exposure: Traveling Chocobo, Avatar Aang // Aang, Master of Elements. Both fall in the same era and rarity neighborhood.
