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.

Live listings, including used and international sellers: a useful cross-check on the store prices above, and often the only source for older printings. Graded slabs get their own tab, so they never distort the raw price. eBay prices are sellers' asking prices and are never ranked with the stores.
