Beatles 3rd State Peeled LA #6 Mono Butcher Cover 
Please read entire description/auction terms prior to bidding on this item. Thank You 
If you've been looking for a peeled LA #6 Butcher Cover that is affordable, then this one might be for you. 
While there is some commonly seen minor condition issues on this jacket, this would still look great in a frame and won't cause you to skip your mortgage to purchase. Certainly one of the lowest priced genuine Butcher Cover on the net that presents this well. Please read the jacket description below for specific details on condition
Finding a peeled West Coast Butcher Cover that doesn't look like it's ready for the trash can is not an easy task. While this may not be for the ultra picky buyer, this won't set you back 2k either. Most of the the "Super Glue" Los Angeles jackets as most have been destroyed by amateur peels and continue to be wrecked unfortunately by well meaning curious collectors having a go at it. 
Most LA designated 2nd state trunk covers were adhered for Capitol Records by the Modern Album Company during the paste over process with a difficult to remove adhesive. For every nice one that exists, there are probably a thousand bad to mediocre peels. Most of the severely damaged 3rd state covers you see on the internet for sale are improperly peeled LA Jackets.  While this is not an absolutely perfect peel (most professionally peeled LA Butcher Covers aren't !) this won't cost you over a grand or more and if one were to get this professionally framed, it would look just about as nice as a far more expensive peel costing hundreds more. Look around and compare. Perhaps not for the super picky collector, but that special someone who wants a rarer and harder to peel LA Butcher Cover for a reachable price that still presents well. Please check our positive feedback for customer satisfaction of past sales of genuine Butcher Covers.
While the market is currently getting flooded with overhyped peels with large obvious large scars/damage, the good news for buyers is that this is one of the more affordable/obtainable peels out there that still presents nicely that won't make you empty your bank account. Due to the difficulty of the peel, these LA Butcher Covers are much harder to come by in displayable condition. This one is better than what is usually seen out there in this price range. But don't just take our word for it, look around and compare what you are buying for what price. Take a close look at the photos and please see below for specific condition description. 
This item will be safely and securely double boxed and shipped to you via Priority Mail. Please read complete description prior to bidding.
Condition: 
Front of Jacket:

Front Peeled Butcher Slick presents nicely overall with the exception of some very minor pinpoint glue residue/ touched up spots that don't take away from the overall nice appearance. 
Please see photos to verify specific condition and feel free to contact with questions.

Seams: 
Top and bottom seam appear to be professionally mended in a few small spots on top and bottom seam with archival linen type paper tape with the largest section being about 2" on the bottom. Both seams appears to be secure. (see seam photos). To protect what remains of the seams, a record should never be attempted to be forced into this jacket. 
Spine: 
Spine is mostly intact with a small one inch crack near the catalog number on the bottom of the spine. This area appears to be adhered and not loose. (See Spine photos).
Back Of Jacket:  
The back of the jacket shows general and average light wear with several ink stamps of the original owners name on the back of the jacket. (see photo of back of jacket). 
Trunk Slick: 
Sorry but there is no trunk slick included. (See last photos for jacket before and during peeling process). 
Record/Inner Sleeve
Comes complete with West Coast mono pressing in G to VG- visual condition, with many light paper scratches but nothing that looks too deep. Sorry but there is No Capitol Inner Sleeve with this one. 
Terms Of Auction/Shipping:
Due to recent inflation and subsequent increases in actual USPS shipping costs, Buyer pays $34.99 for properly packed double boxed priority shipping with tracking. Shipping of such a high value, large package with significant weigh is costly and labor intensive and will likely be more that what is being charged here. Regardless, the cost to you will be capped at $34.99. Bidders with low feedback or new accounts must contact us prior to bidding on this item. Seller reserves the right to cancel bids at any time. Due to the exceptional cost and labor involved in shipping this item, this is being sold "AS IS" and there are No Returns on this purchase. Please review all photos and descriptions and please contact with questions prior to bidding. This item has been through a laborious process from the 2nd state to what you see here, and as such, the grading is unique on this item.This cannot be graded like a comic book or a baseball card due to the fact that this jacket has twice been altered from its original state, once by the paste over process at the Capitol Factory and likewise by the peeling process. Any minor imperfections are from either process. The photos speak for themselves and we do our best to accurately grade these historic artifacts. 
T-Shirt Seen in Background on first few photos is NOT INCLUDED.
Thank You !
