Which version do you have?

If your goal is simply to own the Gil Hodges #36, the Standard version at $59 is the cheapest option. The Red Back ($95) and Black Back ($80) versions offer slight premium appeal, likely due to color variation or minor scarcity, but this is subjective. Buyers prioritizing budget should stick to Standard, while those willing to spend more are paying for the aesthetic difference of the colored backs.
