Which version do you have?
For the absolute cheapest way to own it, grab the Newsstand version for $5. The Spotlight ($12) and Standard ($420) versions offer significant differences in condition or perhaps limited edition appeal, while the Fade ($3) is the lowest priced but likely in poor condition. Save your money with the Newsstand unless you specifically want the higher grade or rarity associated with the more expensive Standard or Spotlight copies.
