We track no other printing of 40 in this set, so there is no base card here to compare its price with.

The United States is the cheapest of the 5 markets that have it, and Singapore is dearest at about 256% more once converted. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read US$0.25 in the United States, C$1.00 in Canada, A$1.20 in Australia, £0.70 in the United Kingdom and S$1.20 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.

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.
