10 vinyl pressings of In Person - Recorded Live At Las Vegas are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Columbia KG 30979.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use KG 30979, GQ 30979, 67231, S2BP 220091) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T PAL 30980 1D and T PAL 30981 1D. 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.
