Which version do you have?
For the lowest cost to simply own it, purchase the Standard version at $2. The Newsstand version at $3 offers no significant collectible advantage over the Standard, as both are low-tier. Buyers prioritizing the absolute minimum spend should choose Standard. Those willing to pay the slight premium for Newsstand are paying for a marginal difference in distribution or packaging, which isn't a major driver of value here.
