THE BEATLES VINTAGE 2nd STATE ' BUTCHER PASTE-OVER' ALBUM T 2553 (3) RIAA

$

600

       I HAVE FOR AUCTION A HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER,  SOME CALLING ONE OF  THE HOLY GRAILS OF BEATLES RECORDS, THE BEATLES YESTERDAY AND TODAY " BUTCHER PASTE-OVER COVER".   This album and others I'm selling are from my wife and I's personal collection , collected when we were young.  I'm not an expert , dealer or trader of records . As I was cleaning out a closet I found 100's of records we had put away and asked my wife what she wanted to do with them and she said give them away ect.  Well,  I decided to do some research on ebay and discovered some of the albums we have may be worth something to others , and that's how I discovered the " Butcher paste-over cover"  my wife new she had one but never thought about it being worth anything.
      These albums are selling for various prices up to over $3700.00 on ebay now according to condition , some online sites have them listed from $250.00 to $1250.00 ++ and from what I have researched are steadily going up in price.  My copy is in pretty good condition no seam tears, does have a couple ripples and the remnants of marker upper left hand corner of the letter M, my wife's initial , back in the day this was a common practice , because people took their records with them to parties.  I think the marker can be removed. All in all an very nice collectible copy, it has all the right markings as seen in the photo's, has the number 3 to the left of the RIAA symbol denoting pressed in Scranton,PA  it is a T 2553 mono recording.  It's hard to see but you can see Ringo's black turtle neck in photo #5, 6 and #7 I guarantee it !   You probably have heard that many people have the paste -over covers peeled off and they sell the album for a premium, but I heard that so many of these albums are being peeled that they are out numbering the ones that have not been peeled and that means that the unpeeled ones will gain in value and it cost over $500.00 to have these albums peeled by an expert, So go figure !  Please check out all photo's what you see is what you get !
     I'm starting the bid at $400.00  which after researching present and past sales of this album is a fair price as most sellers are asking for over $700.00 ++. I will be putting a "BUY IT NOW "  price of $600.00 but will include Six additional Beatles albums all original pressings, check phot0 # 10, these are the exact copies you will receive , some have seam tears ect. ect. but are not to bad, all of these albums have a relative value on their own.
     I think this is a fair deal , we don't collect records and would like collectors to have them, but if nobody wants them , I'll just pack them away , because that Butcher cover will keep going up and up in value !  THANK YOU FOR LOOKING, IF YOU HAVE AN QUESTIONS DON'T LEAVE THEM UNANSWERED !  FREE SHIPPING IN CONTINENTAL US ONLY !
