Which version do you have?
For the cheapest way to own it, buy the Newsstand version for $4. The Standard version at $6 offers slightly better condition or perhaps a minor difference in packaging, but neither version shows significant scarcity or edition premium here. If budget is the primary concern, stick to the Newsstand. Collectors prioritizing the absolute lowest entry point should choose Newsstand, while those willing to spend $2 more for the Standard version are buying minimal added value.
