About Fateful Discovery
This page covers the borderless printing of Fateful Discovery (256), an Blue Enchantment from The Hobbit (HOB). It is printed at Mythic Rare rarity. It is legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Legacy and 6 more formats.
256 exists in 3 printings on TCGplayer, and each is priced as its own product. At US$27.12 on TCGplayer this Borderless print is 7.3x the standard print at US$3.69. For reference the other printings read Borderless US$5.53 and Standard US$3.69 on TCGplayer.

The United States is the cheapest of the 4 markets that have it, and Singapore is dearest at about 43% more once converted. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read US$23.50 in the United States, A$40.00 in Australia, C$36.99 in Canada and S$45.50 in Singapore. 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 -1.4% over the last 7 days; there is not yet a 30-day window to set that against. It is trading at its 90-day high of US$27.79.

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.
