About Three Steps Ahead

75 exists in 2 printings on TCGplayer, and each is priced as its own product. The standard print is the one to play with at US$4.96, while the Extended Art print is the collector's version at US$9.68. For reference the other printings read Extended Art US$9.68 on TCGplayer.
The cheapest listing we track in the United States is US$4.00, 19% below TCGplayer's US$4.96 market price. 4 stores have it in stock, and the next-cheapest listing is US$4.46, only 12% more, so postage will decide the order.
The United States is the cheapest of the 5 markets that have it, and Singapore is dearest at about 74% more once converted. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read US$4.00 in the United States, C$6.80 in Canada, A$8.04 in Australia, £4.60 in the United Kingdom and S$9.40 in Singapore. 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 -21% over the last 7 days; there is not yet a 30-day window to set that against. That leaves it 21% under its 90-day high of US$6.28.
Outlaws of Thunder Junction is a main expansion, released April 2024. Three Steps Ahead has 3 other cards in the database, listed further down the page.

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.
