Mariner was first pressed on vinyl in 2016. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

10 vinyl pressings of Mariner are listed here, from 1 country, released between 2016 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 2016, in Norway. One of them is Indie Recordings INDIE168LP, released April 8, 2016.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use INDIE168LP) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 141137E1/A HELMUT PAI and 141137E2/A I JYMDEN KAN INGEN HORA DIG GRATA. 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.
