Which version do you have?
For the absolute lowest cost, grab the Standard version listed at $3. The higher-priced versions, like Free Willy at $6 or the $16 Standard, offer slight variations in print or condition, not significant scarcity. If you just want the card, the $3 Standard is fine. Collectors seeking the specific Free Willy print or a higher grade should pay the premium, while budget buyers should stick to the cheapest Standard option.
