United States vs Europe
Same card, normal print, two marketplaces.
Europe is 25% 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 normal print.
| Window | Average sale |
|---|---|
| Last 24 hours | €10.00 |
| Last 7 days | €13.92 |
| Last 30 days | €11.08 |
The 24-hour average has fallen 10% against the 30-day average — €11.08 to €10.00. A single day is a thin sample; treat it as direction, not as a price.
Note the weekly average of €13.92 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
Copies on sale run from $10.50 to $195 — a 19× spread that comes from condition, not from the card. Read the listing before you read the price.
In Europe the card has been sliding: the 24-hour average is 10% below the 30-day one.
It sits 42nd of 111 priced cards in HeartGold SoulSilver.
It is a Common card, printed in 2010.
It is still legal in Standard, so tournament demand is part of the price.
