About The Black Gate
This page covers the borderless printing of The Black Gate (87), a Legendary Land — Gate from The Hobbit: Eternal-Legal (HOC). It is printed at Mythic Rare rarity. It is legal in Legacy, Vintage, Commander and Brawl and 3 more formats.
87 exists in 2 printings on TCGplayer, and each is priced as its own product. For reference the other printings read Borderless US$12.68 on TCGplayer.

Across 5 markets the prices sit close together; Australia is cheapest, but not by enough to cover shipping. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read A$51.49 in Australia, US$36.00 in the United States, C$54.99 in Canada, S$59.10 in Singapore and £34.99 in the United Kingdom. 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 -1.8% 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$41.22.

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.
