United States vs Europe
Same card, normal print, two marketplaces.
Europe is 49% 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.
