13 pressings came out in 2006, the album's first year, in 6 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

14 vinyl pressings of Same Man are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 2006, in Germany, UK, Sweden, Spain and more. One of them is Phunkwerk PHW 003, released March 6, 2006.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PHW 003, Kontor524, K537, K524) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 101719A1FK and 101719B1FK. 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.
