About Whir of Invention
This page covers the borderless printing of Whir of Invention (311), an Blue Instant from Secret Lair Drop Series (SLD). It is printed at Rare rarity. It is legal in Pioneer, Modern, Legacy and Vintage and 5 more formats.
We track no other printing of 311 in this set, so there is no base card here to compare its price with.
The cheapest listing we track in the United States is US$7.56, 19% below TCGplayer's US$9.30 market price. 4 stores have it in stock, and the next-cheapest listing is US$8.32, only 10% more, so postage will decide the order.
The United States is the cheapest of the 4 markets that have it, and Singapore is dearest at about 64% more once converted. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read US$7.56 in the United States, C$13.00 in Canada, A$15.30 in Australia and S$16.75 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 -0.4% 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$9.36.

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.

TCGplayer listing: Whir of Invention
Also available on eBay
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.
