About Flusterstorm
This page covers the retro frame printing of Flusterstorm (496), an Blue Instant from Buy-A-Box Promos (BABP). It is printed at Rare rarity. The one keyword in its text is Storm. It is legal in Modern, Legacy, Vintage and Commander and 4 more formats.
496 exists in 2 printings on TCGplayer, and each is priced as its own product. For reference the other printings read Buy-a-Box US$7.34 on TCGplayer.
The cheapest listing we track in the United States is US$4.00, 23% below TCGplayer's US$5.19 market price. 3 stores have it in stock, and the next-cheapest listing is US$5.25, 31% more than the cheapest, so the first row is worth taking.
Across 4 markets the prices sit close together; the United Kingdom is cheapest, but not by enough to cover shipping. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read £2.97 in the United Kingdom, US$4.00 in the United States, C$7.49 in Canada and A$9.04 in Australia. 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 +2.2% 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$5.27.
Buy-A-Box Promos is a promo release, released July 2009. Flusterstorm has 6 other cards in the database, listed further down the page.

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.
