Which version do you have?
If you simply want the card, the Newsstand: $3 is the cheapest option. The higher priced versions, like Standard: $6, offer no inherent advantage in this set; they are simply different printings. Buyers prioritizing the lowest cost should choose Newsstand: $3. Those willing to spend more for the Standard versions are paying a small premium for perceived condition or minor variation, but the value difference is negligible.
