17 vinyl pressings of Tough All Over are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Netherlands, US, UK, Germany and more. One of them is Scotti Bros. Records SCTA 6254.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SCTA 6254, SAMP 1021, ZS4 04891, A 6254) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 01-6254-1A-1 A and 01-6254-1B-1 A. 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.
