Which version do you have?

For the cheapest way to own Charmander, purchase the Standard version at $5. The 1st Edition version at $4 offers a slight premium, primarily due to its collectible status and earlier printing, which appeals to dedicated collectors. If budget is the main concern, stick to Standard. However, if you prioritize owning the rarest or most historically significant version, the 1st Edition is the worthwhile investment.
