Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Greatest Hits are there?

The earliest pressings are from 1980, in Canada, US, Argentina, Barbados and more. One of them is Liberty LOO 1072, released September 23, 1980.
How do I tell if my copy of Greatest Hits is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LOO 1072, LOO-1072, 8898, BOLP-462) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LOO 1072-A-① TX and LOO.1072.B.2 TLC-T OC.. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Greatest Hits on vinyl worth?
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.
