Which version do you have?

For the absolute cheapest way to own it, grab the Teen Titans version for $1. If you want something more substantial, the Standard versions offer a slight step up in condition or desirability. The Meyers version at $4 is a minor collectible bump. Pay up for the Standard versions if you value a better piece, but save your money and stick to the Newsstand or Teen Titans if budget is the priority.
