10 vinyl pressings of As Rapture Comes are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 2006 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 2006, in Germany. One of them is Animate Records AR 016, released October 23, 2006.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AR 016) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 68211E1/A and 68211E2/A www.gzvinyl.com. 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.
