Which version do you have?
To simply own Daredevil #257, purchase the Standard version for $9. The Newsstand version at $10 offers no significant collectible advantage over the Standard; it is merely a slight price bump. If budget is the primary concern, stick with the Standard. Only pay the extra dollar for the Newsstand if you specifically prefer that packaging or believe it holds some minor, unstated scarcity value.
