Beatles 3rd State (Peeled) Los Angeles #6 Butcher Cover 
Please read entire description/auction terms prior to bidding on this item. Thank You
We recently took this on consignment from a regular customer and if you've been looking for a genuine and authentic 3rd State (peeled) 1966 LA #6 Mono Butcher Cover that won't break the bank that doesn't look like it is ready for the trash can, read on. We are open to offers, but keep in mind that because this is a consignment, there is not a whole lot of room to move on this.
Many collectors consider this album the "holy grail" of their record collection. While these jackets may seem costly to the entry level collector, these particular jackets are hard to source in this price range that don't look horrible.They have tended to hold their value over the years. A First State cover sold recently on Ebay for over 12k ! While that is certainly out of reach for most collectors, this offering is certainly more attainable at under $900. 
Keep in mind that these Los Angeles #6 Butcher Covers, in particular, are way harder to peel and cannot be steamed off. Most have been ruined by amateur attempts at peeling.This particular jacket looks like a better amateur peel that may have been peeled back by the original owner which created the abrasion near the Capitol logo
This Butcher Cover is an excellent value that presents nicely and is a perfect candidate for framing due to the fact that the jacket is not in tip top shape. Still this offering presents better than most offerings you see under $900. This jacket has a few condition issues (see detailed description below) but is a great entry level piece that presents well in this price range.
These #6 jackets are much harder to come by in such displayable condition. 
Please read the jacket description below for specific details on condition.
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.These cannot be "steamed" off. 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. Look around and compare. While this may not be for the ultra picky buyer, it also won't set you back $1500... Please check our positive feedback for customer satisfaction of past sales of genuine Butcher Covers. Also look at realized prices of completed auctions and compare.
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 on this harder to peel #6 Los Angeles jacket is 95% decent with the exception of a rash/abrasion near the Capitol logo on the top of the jacket. There appears to be some touch up on this area and possibly in a few other small areas such as the very bottom of the Butcher slick. 
Please see photos to verify the specific conditions (photos may vary slightly in colors, shading, etc due to different lighting sources used during photography) described and feel free to contact with questions. The item shown is exact item that you will receive and is a decent entry level example of a west coast peel. 

Seams: 
Top seam appears complete and unspilt. Bottom Seam is mostly complete but there is an approximate 3" seam crack in the middle of the bottom seam and a smaller split near the very end of that seam near the mouth edge. To protect the integrity of what remains of these seams and avoid future damage, a record should never be attempted to be forced or stored inside this jacket (See close up photos of seams). 
Spine: 
Spine has some writing legible but there is some paper missing in the middle of the spine and some cracking and foxing throughout. (See Spine photos).
Back Of Jacket:  
The back of the jacket displays light to average wear. (see photo of back)
Trunk Slick: 
Sorry but no trunk slick included on this one.
Record: 
Comes with West Coast mono pressing in VG++ (just a few light scratches). Plays through well (more like EX) and is an enjoyable listen without major trouble or any disturbance.Sorry but 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. What you see is what you get. 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/restoration 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 not that T- Shirt seen in background is NOT INCLUDED in this auction and is for display purposes only.
Thank You !
