Beatles Investment Grade Butcher Cover
You are bidding on a genuine 1966 3rd State (peeled) example of arguably the most desired collectible rock record in existence. This is an investment grade example due to the quality of the peel and the overall quality of the package as a whole. Combined with the removed trunk slick, this would make a great candidate for framing.
The peel is equally as nice and this presents as well as nearly any jacket we have offered in the past. Most of the peels offered on the internet have noticeable damage to the Butcher slick, but not the case here. This is a gorgeous peel. Borders are nice with light aging and some mild tanning.
Overall, this is a fairly solid jacket with light wear and typical average seam/spine issues that we see in jackets in the VG + range. The top seam on this is complete with just a few inches of light paper cracking near the mouth opening. This has been professionally secured. Bottom seam is also complete with a bit of paper loss/light cracking near the last several inches near the mouth opening. The spine printing is mostly present although there is cracking to the paper throughout which is often seen on this. This has also been secured. The back of the jacket is fairly clean with average tanning and bit of darker tanning/staining towards the spine. Please see photos for details.
Comes with an original goldenrod 1966 inner sleeve (small piece torn in side) and a playable record in VG+ condition. The trunk slick is included and in condition as shown in framable condition with some light wear and tear.
It should be emphasized that Butcher Covers of this quality and grade are highly desired by collectors and are genuinely scarce in this condition.
Payment is due within 24 hours of auction close.
Safe and secure double boxed shipping of this item within the United States will be $14.99. International orders shall be shipped using the Ebay Global Shipping Program. Buyer is responsible for any and all duty taxes on international shipments. Packages must lawfully be declared for their actually value (selling price).
This item is an original 1966 3rd State (Peeled) used example of the legendary Butcher Cover. This item is guaranteed to be authentic. Purchaser understands that this is a used item and therefore we request that that all photos be clearly examined prior to bidding. Given the fact that this item has been professionally peeled and altered from a 2nd state (unpeeled) condition to a 3rd state (peeled) example, this item has condition elements that reflect the process of treatment of the item when it was glued at the Capitol factory in 1966 as well as conditional elements from the actual peeling process. These elements generally involve mild glue lines that were made at the pressing plant when the trunk cover was pasted over but also include some minor issues from the removal process. This is not a new item but a used one that has been restored through a tedious and careful process.
We have been restoring and selling genuine Beatles Butcher Covers for over three decades and our customers range from well known celebrities and galleries to the everyday collector. We have contributed to television shows, collectible books and have displays in many of the best record guide books including "The Price Guide For The Beatles American Records" By Perry Cox and Frank Daniels. We are one of the only sellers on Ebay that can say that they are the direct source of our genuine Butcher Covers. In other words, we don't send our Butcher Covers out to others who provide peeling services but own and supervise all work that is performed on the Butcher Covers that we sell.
