About this record
The US pressing of Nevermind carries catalogue number DGC-24425 and was pressed at MCA Pressing Plant, Gloversville, identifiable by the runout matrix MASTERDISK DGC-24425-A-GL1 on side A and DGC-24425-B-GL1 on side B. Demand significantly outpaces supply: 13763 collectors want this pressing against 10606 who own one, yet only 14 copies are listed for sale across the market.
The price spread from Mint to Poor reflects the scarcity and condition sensitivity of this original 1991 DGC release.
What drives its value
The US original on DGC-24425 commands a steep condition premium. A Mint copy reaches 4588.50 USD, while NM drops to 4105.50 USD, VG+ to 3139.50 USD, and VG to 2173.50 USD—a spread that underscores how wear directly erodes value on this title.
The lowest asking price of 54.99 USD reflects heavily played or damaged stock. With only 14 copies for sale and 13763 want-list entries against 10606 have entries, this original US pressing remains undersupplied relative to collector demand.
The 1991 DGC pressing (DGC-24425) differs from the 1991 European variants (GED 24425, GEF 24425) and later reissues like the 1992 Poland pressing (MG 1739), making the US original the foundational market reference.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number DGC-24425 printed on both the label and inner sleeve. The back cover states 'DGC 9130 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90069-6197' and credits 'Manufactured and Distributed in the United States by Uni Distribution Corp.' The runout matrix on side A reads MASTERDISK DGC-24425-A-GL1; side B reads DGC-24425-B-GL1 or DGC-24425-B-GL1 1-2, confirming the MCA Pressing Plant, Gloversville pressing.
The inner sleeve is black-and-white printed paper with a band photo and production credits on one side; the reverse (upside-down when held vertically) features song lyrics and Kurt Cobain's photograph of a rubber monkey. Some copies carry a gold promo stamp on the back cover.
Grade by surface noise, groove wear, and jacket condition; even light play reduces value significantly given the 4588.50 USD Mint benchmark.

Frequently asked
How do I identify the US original pressing from European variants?
The US original carries catalogue number DGC-24425 on the label and inner sleeve, with the runout matrix MASTERDISK DGC-24425-A-GL1 (side A) and DGC-24425-B-GL1 (side B).

What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is estimated at 3139.50 USD. This represents a significant drop from NM (4105.50 USD) and reflects the steep condition sensitivity of this original pressing. The estimate is current as of the guide's last update; actual sales may vary.
Why is there such a large price gap between Mint and VG?
A Mint copy reaches 4588.50 USD while a VG copy is valued at 2173.50 USD. This spread exists because the original 1991 US pressing is scarce—only 14 copies are currently for sale—and collector demand is intense (13763 want entries). Even minor surface wear, groove degradation, or jacket handling reduces value sharply on a title this sought-after and supply-constrained.
What comes with this pressing?
The 1991 US pressing includes a black-and-white printed paper inner sleeve. One side features a band photograph alongside production credits. The reverse side (appearing upside-down when rotated vertically) displays select song lyrics and a photograph by Kurt Cobain of a rubber monkey. Some copies were issued with a gold promo stamp on the back cover. The back cover credits Sub Pop Records and notes the 12-track album was produced by special arrangement with Sub Pop.
How many copies are on the market right now?
Only 14 copies of this pressing are listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 54.99 USD (likely a heavily damaged or unplayable copy).
