Which version do you have?

For the lowest cost, buy the Standard Salamence for $12. The 1st Edition, priced at $8, offers a premium due to its older printing and increased scarcity. If budget is the primary concern, stick with Standard. However, collectors prioritizing the historical significance and rarity of the 1st Edition should pay the slightly higher price for that specific version.
