17 vinyl pressings of Reunion - Live At Madison Square Garden 1972 are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1973 and 1987.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BS 2664, K 46208, WB 46 208, P-8347W) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S 1 BS-2664 40312-1E STERLING 2 and S 1 BS-2664 40313-1F STERLING B6. 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.
