Hunting for 1st pressings


How do I know if I'm looking at a first pressing of vinyl? 
Also, I've seen ads for new, sealed vinyl claiming it's a 1st pressing. How does the seller know that if the album is sealed.

I agree with inna, first pressinigs almost always sound better. I have even come across a few 'well used' first pressings that are astonishingly good after a cleaning.  I almost always seek them out. In my collection, the first pressings are always more dynamic then later ones, especially most reissues..
