Which version do you have?

For the absolute cheapest way to own Bulbasaur #1, buy the Green version at $35. The Red version at $40 commands a slight premium, likely due to minor differences in print run or packaging, though scarcity is not the primary driver here. Buyers prioritizing the lowest cost should choose Green, while those willing to spend a bit more for the Red version are paying for that small perceived difference.
