Malice was first pressed on vinyl in 2011. 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 Malice are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 2011 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 2011, in US. One of them is The Crypt CRYPT 17.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CRYPT 17) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PIRATES PRESS CRYPT-17 A 92486E1/B and PIRATES PRESS CRYPT-17 B 92486E2/B. 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.
