Which version do you have?

For the cheapest way to own Bulbasaur, grab the Standard version for $6. The 1st Edition version, also priced at $6, offers a premium collectible appeal through its older printing, which some collectors value for its scarcity. If you are a casual owner, the Standard is sufficient. However, serious collectors seeking the most historically significant piece should pay for the 1st Edition.
