Which version do you have?

For the absolute lowest cost, grab the Newsstand version at $5. The higher-priced versions like the Capullo Sketch ($11) or Standard ($314) offer unique artistic elements or better condition/packaging. If you only want the core comic, the $4 Standard options are fine. Save your money unless you specifically want the rarity or art associated with the premium listings.
