Which version do you have?

For the absolute cheapest way to own Venusaur, buy the Standard version at $18. The 1st Edition version at $15 is cheaper, but it offers the collector appeal of being the earliest print. If you are a casual owner, the Standard is fine. If you value collecting the earliest print run, pay the small premium for the 1st Edition.
