United States vs Europe
Same card, reverse holo print, two marketplaces.
Europe is 38% 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 2026-08-12. Currency moves on its own — the gap shown here is the gap on that date.
Last 30 days
Cardmarket rolling averages for the reverse holo print.
| Window | Average sale |
|---|---|
| Last 24 hours | €3.25 |
| Last 7 days | €5.90 |
| Last 30 days | €3.82 |
The 24-hour average has fallen 15% against the 30-day average — €3.82 to €3.25. A single day is a thin sample; treat it as direction, not as a price.
Note the weekly average of €5.90 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.
