I received this information from Oxbladder, a great help!!
The last five digits of the UPC will tell you. For example:
#1 first print will be 00111
#1 2nd print will be 00112
#1 third print 00113
#2 first 00211
#2 second 00212
(BTW the first three digits are issue #, the next is variant(regular covers are 1), the last is printing. Most companies follow this protocol but not all)

1st additions will not have a barcode. Im not sure if any of the reprints do. Check the indicia on the inside cover. It will not say 1st print, but should say second or third print if that is what it is.
