About Tom Bombadil
This page covers the borderless printing of Tom Bombadil (823), a White, Blue, Black, Red and Green Legendary Creature — God Bard from Universes Beyond: The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth (LTR).

823 exists in 5 printings on TCGplayer, and each is priced as its own product. At US$52.20 on TCGplayer this Borderless print is 20x the standard print at US$2.64. For reference the other printings read Borderless US$276.90, Showcase US$26.06, Standard US$2.64 and Borderless US$2.47 on TCGplayer.
The cheapest listing we track in the United States is US$40.49, 22% below TCGplayer's US$52.20 market price. 7 stores have it in stock, and the next-cheapest listing is US$47.00, 16% more than the cheapest, so the first row is worth taking.
The United States is the cheapest of the 3 markets that have it, and the United Kingdom is dearest at about 50% more once converted. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read US$40.49 in the United States, C$76.85 in Canada and £48.00 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 +1.6% 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$52.20.
