Which version do you have?
For the absolute cheapest way to own it, purchase the Newsstand version for $1. The Standard version at $3 offers no significant advantage in edition or scarcity over the Newsstand copy. If your goal is simply collection completion without high investment, buy the Newsstand. If you prefer the slightly better presentation of the Standard, the extra $2 is a minor premium for a marginally different distribution method.
