Price basis and coverage
Large price: no shop had a buyable listing in the last 4 days, so this is the last shop price we recorded, on 8 November 2026. It is not a current price.
90D median: $171, the middle of 44 price captures in the past 90 days, the newest on 8 November 2026. Range $148 to $190. 3 contributing sources.
30D change: Down 3.7%
Percent chip: the price now against the 90-day median. Within 5% either way it reads "at median". It needs 10 days with prices.
All prices are before checkout fees. Shipping is included only when the shop listed it.

How to read this chart
Each point is the middle price shops listed for this exact product that day, each shop counted once per check.
Point at a day to see how many prices and shops are behind it. The shaded band is the usual range: the middle half of this line over the last 90 days. Dashed lines cross short gaps; longer gaps stay blank.
Price axis is scaled to show detail; it does not start at zero.
The big price at the top of the page is a different figure: the cheapest price you can buy at right now (or, when nothing is in stock, the last price we recorded). This chart shows the typical price, so it is usually a bit higher.
Where to buy now

Report a price problemAbout these prices
Newest first. Every row is New retail, Tax usually excluded, and names the card it was for. Each price was in stock when we recorded it, which does not mean it still is: the shop link shows today's offer. The typical price uses the last 90 days; a row it leaves out says why.

How Market Watch prices work
What the price means
Every price here is what a shop was charging on the day we checked, for an item it had in stock. It is not a promise that it still is: prices change and cards sell out, so check the shop page before you buy. These are shop prices, not what people actually paid. Prices from regular shops (New retail) are kept apart from prices that marketplace and private sellers ask for (the asking views).
Typical price (90D median)
The 90D median is the typical price over the last 90 days. Put every price we recorded in that time in order from low to high and take the one in the middle: half were cheaper, half more expensive. One sale or one overpriced listing barely moves it. The 90-day range is the lowest and highest of those same prices. In the table, Cheapest is the lowest price in stock now, and Models is how many different cards (brands and versions) are in stock. When nothing is in stock, Cheapest shows the last price we recorded, greyed out.
The big price on a product page
It is the cheapest price you can buy at: the lowest in-stock price we found in the last 2 days, with the card and the shop named under it. On Amazon and other marketplaces, the seller is named too. If we have no price from the last 2 days, it shows the cheapest from 2 to 4 days ago, labelled Seen in stock. When no shop has had it for 4 days, it shows the last price we recorded, greyed out, with its date. We never average this price, because each listing is a different card. The 90D median under it and the chart line are typical prices, so they are usually a bit higher.
Stock
We only record a price when a shop actually lets you buy the item, and there are two time limits. In stock: a shop had it in the last 2 days. Seen in stock: a shop had it 2 to 4 days ago, so it may have sold out since. Out of stock: we checked in the last 4 days and no shop had it. Not checked: we have not checked in 4 days, so we do not guess. Hard to find is an extra warning for items with no price for more than 7 days. Anything can sell out between our checks.
Price change (14D, 30D, 90D)
Each change compares the typical price of the last 14, 30 or 90 days with the same number of days just before. For example, 30D compares the last 30 days with the 30 days before them. Each period needs at least three prices, so 90D shows Tracking until we have about 6 months of prices. We leave the change out when we cannot tell whether the prices include tax.
Reading the arrows
An up arrow means the price went up compared with the period before, a down arrow means it went down, and a right arrow means it stayed the same. Each direction has its own color, and the exact percentage is always next to the arrow.
Sources
The source count is how many different places a figure comes from. Most are shops; some are publishers or price feeds, and one source can list several prices or card versions. Price-comparison and deal sites do not count toward the typical price; they can still show up in the price history, marked as such.
Tax and shipping
Whether a price includes tax (VAT or sales tax) follows what the shop shows, or the normal rule in that region. Shipping is not included unless the shop shows it in the price. Prices stay in the local currency; we do not convert them.
Missing and old prices
An empty value never means free or out of stock; it means we have no price for it. Last seen is the date of the newest price we recorded, and prices older than 7 days are marked as old.
Launch prices and links
Launch prices (the maker’s suggested price at release) are shown only in US dollars, where we have a reliable figure. Our shop links are not affiliate links (links that earn us a commission) unless the link says so.
