52 vinyl pressings of In My House are listed here, from 21 countries, released between 1985 and 2016.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in US, UK, Japan, Australia & New Zealand and more. One of them is Motown 4529MG.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 4529MG, 1741 GF, 1741GF, PR-160) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 4529MG P̶R̶-̶1̶6̶0̶-A-67174-D-15A ZFB #13 XGRU STERLING and 4529MG P̶R̶-̶1̶6̶0̶-B-67174-DI-15A ZFB #13 XGRU ✩ STERLING. 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.
