Which version do you have?

For the cheapest way to own it, grab the Newsstand version for $2. The Standard versions, priced at $28 and $3, offer slight variations, but in this case, the difference is likely minor condition or minor packaging distinctions rather than significant scarcity. Save your money with the Newsstand copy unless you specifically want the perceived slight upgrade of the Standard $3 version.
