Which version do you have?
If simply owning Batman #426 is the goal, purchase the Standard version for $18. The Newsstand version at $21 offers no significant collectible advantage over the Standard, as both are common releases. Buyers prioritizing the lowest cost should choose Standard, while those willing to spend the extra three dollars for the Newsstand version are paying a slight premium for a marginally different distribution point, not true scarcity.
