Steam Market or third-party market?
On the Steam Community Market you pay from your Steam Wallet and the arcana goes straight to your inventory. Steam lists 18 of the 18 tradable arcanas and is the cheapest place for 2 of them today.
On a third-party market you pay on the market’s own site and receive the item through a Steam trade offer. It is the same item. Today 16 of 18 arcanas are cheaper there, on average 15% below the lowest Steam listing.
Prices move every day. Before you buy, open the arcana’s page: it shows all four markets side by side and the full price history. The cheapest arcanas list sorts everything by price.
