First of all, we don't believe in terms such as mint, perfectly peeled, etc. Why ? Because they don't exist. Anyone that collects trading cards will tell you that most cards are far from mint even when they are taken from a fresh factory pack. Record album jackets are no different, especially used ones. Even the outrageously gorgeous second state butcher in shrinkwrap we offered sevearal weeks back was only listed as "near mint". Why ? Because we don't believe in overgrading items.  As far as peeling butcher covers,we perform this work everyday and have for over 20 years so we can feel confident in our opinion that one should be careful about claims about "perfect peels". While yes, to most folks, this may be an acceptable term, the real fact is that these covers have been permanently altered by the recovering process at the Capitol factory in the stages of becoming 2nd state covers and therefore, it is our professional opinion that such claims of perfect peels are obvious exaggerations and nothing else. Even with trunk slicks that are removed in one whole piece without tearing. Sellers who send their items out to have them peeled don't actually know what has been done to the jacket because they haven't performed the work or observed it being done. Our butchers never leave out site and we can accurately vouch 100% for all work that has been performed. Regardless, there will always be slight glue residue or glue rings or faint lines present. Look closely at close up photographs of any real 3rd state butcher and you will almost always see glue haze, horizontal lines or circular rings running down the the right side near the mouth opening. Far from perfect friends. Caveat Emptor. We offer a meaningful Certificate Of Authenticity specifying the exact chain of custody.

The front cover on this butcher cover being offered for sale, as you can see from the photos, is fantastic. This is another great peel as you can see in the photos. Overall, a really nice and solid butcher and the best value out there for the money. Capitol factory glue residue and professional touch up ,as usual, is a non issue on this one.

We are one of the only in house professional butcher peelers on Ebay and would put this particular peel up against nearly anything out there. The only way you'd get a better peel is if you peeled a NM version and then the reserve would be quite a bit higher. We peel butcher covers for many other Ebay sellers and many of these sellers have receive record prices for these items,and this is no exception. We don't overgrade our items. Honesty is the best policy. If there is anything, even the most minor of problems, with a butcher jacket such as a wear spot or minor wear issue, it doesn't qualify for a NM grade in our opinion even if the peel is NM, so this jacket would probably come in at an overall VG++ grading even though the peel as just about as nice as any other peel we have offered. As far as the physical issues of the jacket are concerned, the top seam is tight and complete with only a tiny bit of missing paper on very left end of the top corner. There are two clip like compression marks near the mouth opening just above the word "Beatles". This was probably caused by some sort of clip used in displaying this piece. No big deal but it is there. Bottom seam is nice and complete with no splits.The spine is really nice with all printing legible. Back is clean with very little wear and one light nickle sized stain.We strictly advise against attempting to place an lp into the jacket as it is safer to avoid any pressure on the 42+ year old paper . This is the perfect Butcher for those who don't want to spend $1000 or more but want a Genuine 1966 3rd State Butcher Cover that looks just as nice in regard to the Butcher slick. Nothing else too out of the ordinary.

Auction includes mono record in at least VG+ condition with the original orange Capitol inner sleeve . The removed trunk slick is included but shows some wrinkling,corner stain and wear and tear but is decent enough to be framed. Also included is a personalized Certificate Of Authenticity, gorgeous reproduction Capitol recall letter and a whole pile of compiled information from 1966 about the butcher cover that nobody else offers.The winning bidder will receive this item fully insured professionally packed and double boxed with all items protected in an archival sleeve .

Our 2nd state pieces never leave our site and are never sent out to others for peeling or restoration work and therefore we can vouch 100% to what work has been performed and have complete forensic records of same to insure your confidence of authenticity. All of our butchers come with a meaningful COA certifying the history of the cover being purchased.
