Which version do you have?

If your goal is simply to own Raikou, the Standard version at $13 is the cheapest route. The 1st Edition at $17 offers a premium, likely due to its collectible status or early print run, suggesting higher scarcity. Buyers prioritizing the lowest cost should choose Standard, while collectors willing to pay the extra $4 for the 1st Edition are investing in the version with greater collectible appeal.
