16 vinyl pressings of Cop That Sh#! are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 2000 and 2005.
The earliest pressings are from 2003, in US, UK, Europe, Germany. One of them is Blackground Records B0001069-11.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use B0001069-11, UNIR 21024-1, TIMBA12001, DJ Promo 02) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, UNIR-21024-1A-REI RJ Sterling and UNIR-21024-1B-REI RJ 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.
