Which version do you have?

For the absolute cheapest way to own Charmeleon, grab the Standard version for $3. The 1st Edition version at $4 offers a slight premium, primarily in its vintage edition status, which appeals to dedicated collectors. If budget is the main concern, stick to Standard. However, if you value collecting specific print runs, the small jump to the 1st Edition is worthwhile for a tangible piece of history.
