Someday was first pressed on vinyl in 1987. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

15 vinyl pressings of Someday are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1987 and 2018.
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in US. One of them is Atlantic 0-86687.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 0-86687, DMD 1081) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SRC (Large S with the R and C in the loops) ST-DM-52294-1 1-1 ATLANTIC STUDIOS D.K. and SRC (Large S with the R and C in the loops) ST-DM-52295-52297-1 1-1 ATLANTIC STUDIOS D.K.. 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.
