13 vinyl pressings of Children are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 2001 and 2002.
The earliest pressings are from 2001, in Germany, US, France. One of them is Dropout DROP 0112-6.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DROP 0112-6, PRO 6746, RAD 99116-1, 0927-45514-0) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DROP 0112-6 A SST and DROP 0112-6 B SST. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
