21 vinyl pressings of Losing Streak are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1997 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1997, in US. One of them is No Idea Records NIR-042, released September 1997.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NIR-042) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NIR-042-A "The mailorder lackey at Blindspot has a cute butt" - Vinnie, circa last tuesday L-47607 and NIR-042-B "Why would we ever sign to a major label?" - Vinnie, circa 1994 L-47607X. 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.
