United States vs Europe
Same card, reverse holo print, two marketplaces.
Europe is 36% cheaper 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 reverse holo print.
| Window | Average sale |
|---|---|
| Last 24 hours | €3.99 |
| Last 7 days | €5.15 |
| Last 30 days | €3.54 |
The 24-hour average has risen 13% against the 30-day average — €3.54 to €3.99. A single day is a thin sample; treat it as direction, not as a price.
Note the weekly average of €5.15 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
Asking prices run from $1.50 to $45.64. A spread that wide says more about individual listings than about the card — the market price above is what copies actually sold for.
In Europe the card has been climbing: the 24-hour average is 13% above the 30-day one.
It sits 81st of 86 priced cards in Crystal Guardians, in the cheaper half of the set.
