The earliest pressings are from 2010, in US, Europe. One of them is No Idea Records NO IDEA 266, released May 21, 2010.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NO IDEA 266, ML 036) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NIR-266-A Lucky TREBLE WITHOUT APPLAUSE and NIR-266-B Lucky FIDEL CASTRO GTX. 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.
