United States vs Europe
Same card, normal print, two marketplaces.
Europe is 25% more expensive than the US for this print. Before acting on that, count shipping across the Atlantic, customs on the way in, and the risk of a card travelling in an envelope.
Converted at the European Central Bank reference rate for 2026-08-12. Currency moves on its own — the gap shown here is the gap on that date.
Last 30 days
Cardmarket rolling averages for the normal print.
| Window | Average sale |
|---|---|
| Last 24 hours | €1.33 |
| Last 7 days | €0.91 |
| Last 30 days | €1.03 |
The 24-hour average has risen 29% against the 30-day average — €1.03 to €1.33. A single day is a thin sample; treat it as direction, not as a price.
Note the weekly average of €0.91 sitting outside both the daily and the monthly figure. That happens when only a handful of copies change hands, and one sale drags the average with it. On a card this thinly traded, none of these three numbers is a price you can count on.
About this card’s market
TCGplayer Direct has it at $0.50, below the market price — that is the cheapest verified-condition copy sitting in their warehouse right now.
In Europe the card has been climbing: the 24-hour average is 29% above the 30-day one.
It sits 75th of 101 priced cards in Base Set.
It is a Common card, printed in 1999, illustrated by Ken Sugimori.
It has been out of tournament play for two decades — what is left is collector demand.
