10 vinyl pressings of These Things Too are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, UK, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Reprise Records RS 6364.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RS 6364, RSLP 6364, RRC 6364) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T \ 30944 RS 6364 A RE-1 1D o and T \ 30945 RS 6364 B RE-1 -1A o. 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.
