10 vinyl pressings of In My Life are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1998, in US, UK, France, Germany and more. One of them is Subliminal SUB 5.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SUB 5, MOS126, MOSR126, TNT 009) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SUB-005 THISSIDE 33-5 WO25455 M1<>5- and SUB-005 THATSIDE WO254/1 M2<>5- F/WRCE IP-5. 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.
