United States vs Europe
Same card, normal print, two marketplaces.
Europe is 100% 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 2026-09-23. 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 | €0.75 |
| Last 7 days | €0.77 |
| Last 30 days | €0.92 |
The 24-hour average has fallen 18% against the 30-day average — €0.92 to €0.75. A single day is a thin sample; treat it as direction, not as a price.
