13 vinyl pressings of Nostalgias are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1981 and 1983.
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in Argentina, US, Bolivia, Colombia and more. One of them is CBS 20.215.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 20.215, DML-11312, 20317, 14-1497) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ALS 5762 5752 and ALS 5753. 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.
