About Once Upon a Time
This page covers the white border printing of Once Upon a Time (71), an Green Instant from Mystery Booster 2 (MB2). It is printed at Rare rarity. It is legal in Legacy, Vintage, Commander and Brawl and 2 more formats.
We track no other printing of 71 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$0.40, 29% below TCGplayer's US$0.56 market price. 4 stores have it in stock, and the next-cheapest listing is US$0.50, 25% 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 EU is dearest at about 293% more once converted. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read US$0.40 in the United States, C$0.80 in Canada, £0.50 in the United Kingdom, S$1.70 in Singapore, A$2.00 in Australia and €1.44 in the EU. 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.
It is trading at its 90-day high of US$0.56.
Mystery Booster 2 is a reprint set, which collects earlier cards, released October 2024. Once Upon a Time has 4 other cards in the database, listed further down the page.

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.
