OK, there are a bunch of these. The 1st 3,000 on Sub Pop were on black vinyl in gatefold sleeves with posters. These sold for minimal sums for many years, but the prices have been rising. It's very unpredictable now.
At this point, it was also released in Germany on Glitterhouse and in Australia on Au Go Go. The Au Go Go one can sell for a few bucks, but the Glitterhouse one is super common.
Later (1992-ish) pressings exist on many colors. Known colors are: yellow marble, green, clear, grey marble (varies from light to dark), blue marble (varies from light to dark), lavender marble, and black. There is also (theoretically) a pink pressing from this time period, but I think this was just what some people were calling the lavender marble one. I have also seen references to a tan marble version, but no pictures. That may just be the yellow marble one. The prices on the color vinyl versions of this era have stayed mostly stable. A couple of them (green, lavender marble, in particular) have been a little more volatile.
In 2009, Sub Pop released a 20th anniversary edition of this record, which was pressed on both pink and black vinyl. Variations have surfaced for the pink one - solid pink, light pink marble, and hot pink marble have all shown up. These reissue copies have very different labels and sleeves from the originals. The reissues came with posters and download coupons.
