26 vinyl pressings of At This Moment are listed here, from 21 countries, released between 1989 and 1990.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TOM TV1, 1214-1-J, LIB5184, 150 8019) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TOMTV 1 A2 and TOMTV 1 B2 TOWNHOUSE. 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.
