33 vinyl pressings of Nice To Be With You are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1972 and 1975.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SUX-232, SUX 232, AMS 890, AM-140) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SuX232AA-4-Re △87213 and SuX - 32B-4 ⓨ △87213. 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.
