About Bard, King of Dale
This page covers the borderless printing of Bard, King of Dale (280), a White and Blue Legendary Creature — Human Noble Archer from The Hobbit (HOB). It is printed at Mythic Rare rarity. Its text prints Reach and Vigilance. It is legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Legacy and 6 more formats.
280 exists in 3 printings on TCGplayer, and each is priced as its own product. At US$110.69 on TCGplayer this Borderless print is 31x the standard print at US$3.61. For reference the other printings read Borderless US$14.50 and Standard US$3.61 on TCGplayer.
The cheapest listing we track in the United States is US$87.81, 21% below TCGplayer's US$110.69 market price. 22 stores have it in stock, and the next-cheapest listing is US$107.40, 22% more than the cheapest, so the first row is worth taking.
The United States is the cheapest of the 6 markets that have it, and the United Kingdom is dearest at about 159% more once converted. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read US$87.81 in the United States, A$165.00 in Australia, C$153.80 in Canada, S$170.70 in Singapore, €200.00 in the EU and £180.00 in the United Kingdom. Conversions use indicative exchange rates, and postage, duty and import tax are not included, so a cheaper market elsewhere is a fact about listings and not a reason to import.
The market price moved -11.9% over the last 7 days; there is not yet a 30-day window to set that against. Its 90-day high was US$127.27, 13% above today's price.
The Hobbit is a main expansion, released August 2026.

Prices are live listings in each market, in the currency that seller charges. The “≈ USD” column is an indicative conversion for comparison only: not a quote, and not what you'll be billed. Stores generally ship within their own market, and international postage, duty and import tax aren't included, so a cheaper market elsewhere isn't necessarily cheaper to get delivered to you.
