11 vinyl pressings of Wishin' And Hopin' are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in Netherlands, Italy, Mexico, Norway. One of them is Philips JF 329 909.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JF 329 909, 326 679 BF, 45/0421, 326 647 BF) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6 AA 329 909 1F 1 670 1 and 6 AA 329 909 2F 1 670 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.
