13 vinyl pressings of Sinfonie Nr. 2 D-dur Op.73 are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1957 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1957, in Germany. One of them is Deutsche Grammophon LPM 18 360.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPM 18 360) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 18360A Made in Germany 033 390 S E 7 E and 18360B Made in Germany 033 391 S E 7 F. 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.
