The rule: within 10% of the cheapest Near Mint TCGplayer listing is fair; 10–30% over is a bit high; more than 30% over is overpriced.
More than 10% under is below market, a good deal. Shipping counts for cards under $5.

How to check if an MTG price is fair
- Find the exact card. Type the name in the box above. Same name, different printing, very different price.
- Pick the printing and finish. Normal or foil. A foil priced like a normal copy is a bargain; the reverse is not.
- Type the asking price. Whatever the shop, binder or friend-of-a-friend wants.
- Read the verdict. We compare it to the cheapest Near Mint TCGplayer listing for that printing (with shipping for cards under $5): Below market, Fair price, A bit high, or Overpriced.
- Check condition and shipping. Our number assumes Near Mint. A played copy should cost less, and shipping on top of a fair price can make it not one.
