23 vinyl pressings of More Hits - By Cliff are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1965 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in UK, Denmark, Israel, Netherlands and more. One of them is Columbia SCX 3555.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SCX 3555, 33SX 1737) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YAX 1238-1 and YAX 1239-1. 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.
