Which version do you have?
If simply owning a Blue Beetle #1 is the goal, the Newsstand or 2nd Print at $10 is the cheapest entry. Premium versions like the Gutierrez Virgin Foil ($15) or Tao Virgin ($23) offer higher perceived scarcity or specific print variations. Buyers prioritizing investment or top-tier condition should consider the Standard $788. Casual collectors should stick to the lower-priced options to save money.
