Which version do you have?
For the absolute cheapest ownership, grab the Standard: $4 or Standard: $5. The premium versions like Szerdy Foil Virgin ($18) offer enhanced condition or variant printing, which commands a higher price. If you only want the iconic book, stick to the lower-priced Standard options. Serious collectors seeking specific variants or superior condition should pay more for the Szerdy or Scott versions, while casual buyers should save.
