About The First Doctor
This page covers the borderless printing of The First Doctor (1143), a White and Blue Legendary Creature — Time Lord Doctor from Universes Beyond: Doctor Who (WHO). It is printed at Rare rarity. It is legal in Legacy, Vintage, Commander and Oathbreaker.
1143 exists in 7 printings on TCGplayer, and each is priced as its own product. At US$7.03 on TCGplayer this Borderless print is 31x the standard print at US$0.23. For reference the other printings read Extended Art US$0.91, Borderless US$0.69, Surge Foil US$0.48 and Extended Art US$0.41 on TCGplayer.
The cheapest listing we track in the United States is US$5.03, 28% below TCGplayer's US$7.03 market price. 3 stores have it in stock, and the next-cheapest listing is US$7.05, 40% more than the cheapest, so the first row is worth taking.
The United States is the cheapest of the 4 markets that have it, and the EU is dearest at about 94% more once converted. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read US$5.03 in the United States, C$10.25 in Canada, A$11.70 in Australia and €8.98 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.

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.
