Which version do you have?
For the absolute cheapest ownership, grab the Standard Defenders #45 for $4. The Whitman version, priced at $3, offers a slight premium, likely in terms of packaging or print quality, though scarcity is not a major factor here. If budget is the primary concern, the Standard is fine. However, if you prefer the slightly better presentation of the Whitman, paying the extra dollar is worthwhile for a marginally enhanced collectible experience.
