We track no other printing of 57s in this set, so there is no base card here to compare its price with.
The cheapest listing we track in the United States is US$6.19, 17% below TCGplayer's US$7.46 market price. Only one store has it in the United States, so the price is whatever that shop asks and there is no second quote to check it against.
