← Mana Market WatchIs this a fair price for an MTG card?
A fair price for a Magic card is close to its TCGplayer market price for the exact printing you want. If you're asked up to 10% over market, that's a fair price. 10–30% over is a bit high, and more than 30% over is overpriced. Below market is a good deal.
Search any Magic card, pick the printing and finish, and type what you're being asked.
How to tell a fair price
- Find the exact printing. The same card can be printed in many sets, and each printing has its own price. Pick the set, and pick Normal or Foil.
- Compare to the TCGplayer market price. That's the price this checker uses, not the lowest listing.
- Use the fair-price bands: Below market = under the market price. Fair price = up to 10% over. A bit high = 10–30% over. Overpriced = more than 30% over.
- Check the 30-day trend. Our chart uses TCGplayer's daily English Near Mint prices for the past 30 days, so you can see if today's price is near its monthly high or low.
- Add shipping, and check the condition. Our price is for the card only. Shipping and tax are extra. The "See it on TCGplayer" link opens Near Mint listings.
Prices change fast. Always check the live listing before you buy. This is price information, not financial advice.
