Please read entire description/auction terms prior to bidding on this item. Thank You
If you've been looking for a genuine and authentic higher grade 3rd State (peeled) Scranton PA #3 Mono Butcher Cover that includes the removed trunk slick, this might be the one for you. This example boasts decent seams and spine and exceeds the quality of peel seen in recents sales in this price range that includes the removed trunk slick. Please examine the photos and we're sure you will agree that this is a high quality peel. See last photo to see jacket prior to peeling process.
Although it is sad each week to see more and more recently amateurishly peeled covers go up for sale, the good news is that jackets such as this that present well are only increasing in value as more and more get destroyed by amateur peel attempts. TheButcherCover, on the other hand to these notable amateur efforts, have consistently and correctly peeled the most difficult examples from every Capitol manufacturing plant (#2,#3,#5,#6) for over 4 decades. These examples have been exhibited in books,TV Shows, youtube and many other notable outlets for decades.Their jackets are are not produced by a "Johnny Come Lately' with a tea kettle. Many of these folks buy our jackets that were peeled by TheButcherCover and flip them at a higher price.You have a choice, bid wisely and look around before buying.
Please read the jacket description below for specific details on condition.
While the market is currently getting flooded with overhyped/over-graded peels with large obvious large scars/damage/paper residue etc, the good news for buyers is that this is 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 is stunning and presents nicely overall without any evidence of large scars or serious damage from the peeling process that is usually seen. Beautiful colors and presentation on this one. Small department store price tag holes inside the Capitol logo that are also seen in the close up photos of the same section of the trunk slick.
Please see photos to verify specific condition and feel free to contact with questions.
Seams:
Top seam appears to be mostly complete with the exception of a slight 1" crack near at the end of the top seam. Bottom seam also seems intact with the exception of a few smaller areas also near the end of the seam that seem more like slight balding than true splits. Both issues are very slight and we only mention for complete disclosure (please see seam photos). To protect the integrity what remains of the seams, a record should never be placed or stored in this jacket.
Spine:
Spine writing is complete and legible. Some minor foxing and typical checking cracks near the bottom section of the spine. (See Spine photo).
Back Of Jacket:
The back of the jacket displays some mild wear and tanning but nothing severe. There are a few very faint checkmarks on a few songs. (see photo of back of jacket).
Trunk Slick:
Removed trunk slick is included with some wrinkling, and minor wear and tear from the peeling process. (See photo of removed trunk slick).
Record/Inner Sleeve:
Comes complete with East Coast mono pressing in VG+ condition by Goldmine standards. VG+ labels. Light sleeve scratches but plays nicely without skips or overpowering background noise. Was an enjoyable listen. Goldenrod 1966 East Coast inner sleeve included in this auction in decent condition (3" split at bottom).
Terms Of Auction/Shipping:
Due to recent inflation and subsequent increases in actual USPS shipping costs, Buyer pays $29.99 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 $29.99. 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 !
