TCGplayer listing prices for this printing span roughly $0.49 (lowest listed) to $49.99 (highest listed), with a mid-point near $2.00. The high end of that spread often reflects outlier asking prices well above what copies typically sell for, so treat the market price above — not the top of the listing range — as the going rate.
