Beatles 3rd State Rare Stereo Scranton PA Professionally Peeled Butcher Cover
Please read entire description/auction terms prior to bidding on this item. Thank You 

First time offering of a Peeled Stereo Scranton Butcher Cover that looks decent but won't make you mortgage your house ! 
While there are some condition issues with the jacket, this will only cost a fraction of what a top condition example would cost. 
Stereo Butcher Covers in particular have steadily risen in value over the last few years and are fetching crazy numbers in high profile catalog auctions. These stereo pressings, according to Capitol Records production statistics, are far more rare than their mono counterparts and rarely show up peeled in displayable condition. Look around at what is available. There are very few stereo peels of notable quality. Unfortunately, too many covers continue to be severely damaged by amateur peels and it pays to invest wisely and carefully consider the quality of the peel when investing in a 3rd state (peeled) cover. While this scarce Scranton PA Stereo cover has some notable condition issues, this won't set you back $2500 or more and is the perfect candidate for an archival quality frame and mat. Please view all photos prior to bidding.
This item will be safely and securely double boxed and shipped to you via Priority Mail. A high quality peel recently sold in a catalog auction for $7500 ! Look for yourself at the offerings on the net and compare. This is a great opportunity to purchase a jacket that you will be proud to display and one that would be perfect to frame. Please read complete description prior to bidding.
Condition: 
Butcher Cover is awesome and something that any fan would treasure. There is some edge wear touch up (see close up photo of this area) just past Ringo near the mouth edge. The seams and spine were pretty wiped out on this jacket and appear to have been glued by a previous owner. Glue residue/Capitol factory brush lines from application of that adhesive (at the original Capitol pressing plant) used to adhere the trunk cover aren't too bad on this one. There is some touch up on the back of the jacket where it appears that there was tape on the seams. Please see photos and text below for further more specific details about the actual physical condition of the jacket .
Seams: 
Top seam is the only seam with several inches of seam paper still attached. Bottom seam was mostly split and glued with only an inch or so or of seam paper still attached. Please see photos. Given the age/repair/frailty of the seams, the vinyl record/inner sleeve should never be attempted to be placed in the album jacket.
Spine:
Spine is missing most of the paper and is also appears to have been glued. 
Back Of Jacket: 
The back of the jacket shows several areas of touch up near the spine and bottom where it appears that the spine and bottom seam were previously taped with scotch tape which was then removed at some point.
Trunk Slick: 
There is no removed trunk slick with this album.
Record/Inner Sleeve: 
Stereo Record that came with this jacket is included in G to VG- condition (lots of fine sleeve scuff scratches but nothing too deep). Plays better than it looks through without skips although there is some light background noise here and there. 
Sorry, but there is NO INNER SLEEVE included in this auction.

Look around for prices and quality on Stereo peels out there. Many are noticeable amateur efforts with pronounced severe damage from unprofessional peeling. Although this might not be for the super picky collector and even though the jacket has some wear and tear issues, it still presents better than 95% of all Stereo peels that you see out there in this price range. This is an awesome piece of Rock and Roll history.
Terms Of Auction/Shipping:
Due to the recent inflation and subsequent increases in actual USPS shipping costs, Buyer pays $39.00 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 $39.00. No International Shipping on this item. 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. 
Please note: Beatles T-shirt seen in background is NOT included in auction. 
Thank You and Happy Bidding !
