26 vinyl pressings of Cult Of Snap are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1990 and 1991.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 613 596, 113 596, 613 639, CULT 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 020 S 613 596 A-1 SST and 020 S 613 596 B-1 SST. 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.
