About this record
The Vantiva Guadalajara pressing of this 2024 Taylor Swift album carries a distinctive IVORY vinyl color and matrix stamps identifying it as a Mexican plant product—a detail that separates it from the concurrent Optimal Media GmbH variant in the same shade. With 139 copies currently for sale and a want-to-have ratio of 977 collectors seeking it against 29,692 who own one, this is a high-volume modern release where condition and pressing origin matter sharply to the market.
What drives its value
Price spreads dramatically by condition on this title: a Mint copy reaches 21.02 USD, while a VG+ drops to 14.38 USD, and a played VG copy settles at 9.96 USD. The lowest asking price across 139 listings sits at 6.23 USD, indicating heavy stock and price pressure at entry level.
The US Vantiva pressing (catalogue 602458933314) competes directly with a European variant (602465081381) and a separate US release (602468003496), all from 2024. Community ownership is substantial—29,692 have recorded it—yet 977 still want it, suggesting collectors are chasing specific pressings or condition tiers rather than the title itself.
The gap between Mint and VG reflects how quickly handling degrades modern vinyl; even a lightly played copy loses roughly one-third of peak value.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 602458933314 on the spine and back cover. The dead-wax matrix stamps on each side read 00602458933314-A through -D, each followed by (2) RKS STERLING and a unique job number (1252364 through 1252367), then 01010538, 01010227, 01011016, and 01021405 respectively, with IVORY noted on each.
The pressing plant credit "Vantiva, Guadalajara, Mexico" appears in the runout. The back shrink wrap should print "VINYL MADE IN MEXICO" to confirm origin.
The jacket is 24 pages, book-bound, with unique photographs and three handwritten lyric reproductions. Grade by checking for hairline scratches under light (Mint vs. NM distinction), light play wear on the playing surface (VG+ vs. VG), and any warping or seam splits on the jacket.
Do not confuse this with the Optimal Media GmbH ivory variant, which will lack the Vantiva/Guadalajara and RKS STERLING identifiers in the runout.

Frequently asked
How do I know this is the Vantiva Mexico pressing and not the Optimal Media version?
Check the dead-wax matrix on each side. The Vantiva pressing stamps RKS STERLING followed by a job number (1252364–1252367 range) and the plant identifier. The Optimal Media pressing will show different matrix information. Also verify the back shrink wrap prints "VINYL MADE IN MEXICO." The catalogue number 602458933314 is shared across multiple plants, so the runout string is the definitive marker.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy of this pressing is valued at 14.38 USD. This reflects light play wear—no skips, but visible groove wear under magnification and possible light surface noise. This is an estimate as of the guide date and may not reflect current secondary market asking prices, which show 139 listings with a low of 6.23 USD.
Why is there such a big price drop from Mint to VG?
A Mint copy is valued at 21.02 USD versus 9.96 USD for VG—modern vinyl is sensitive to handling. Even light play introduces groove wear and surface marks that reduce appeal to collectors seeking unplayed stock. The 2024 release date and high production volume mean played copies are common, so condition sorting is essential to retain value.
Is this pressing rare?
No. With 29,692 collectors reporting ownership and 139 copies listed for sale, this is a high-volume modern release. The want-to-have ratio of 977 to 29,692 suggests most collectors who seek it already own a copy; remaining demand is likely for specific condition grades or the competing pressings (European or alternate US variants).
What does the 24-page book-bound jacket include?
The jacket features unique photographs and three handwritten lyric reproductions. This distinguishes it from digital or streaming-only editions and is part of the physical collectibility of the vinyl package, though the vinyl itself is the primary value driver.
