LP, The Beatles, Yesterday and Today, SECOND STATE BUTCHER BLOCK FAIR CONDITION

$

325

CAUTION:  I am not an expert in identifying the BUTCHER BLOCK SECOND STATE.  I believe I have identified the triangle of Ringo's turtleneck shirt - see second listing photo.  I have also used discogs information to help identify this as the MONO version, T2553, of the ULTRA RARE AND COLLECTIBLE BEATLES LP.  
NOTE:   Though this is likely the butcher album, please realize that I would characterize both the jacket and LP in FAIR CONDITION ONLY.  The jacket is extensively split, looks to be fully split on the spine and mostly split on the top edge.  The previous owner affixed clear tape all over, with some tape residue still remaining.  The jacket has rings front and back.  There is no previous owner ink markings on the jacket.  The LP was found without the inner sleeve, a plain white sleeve is used for this listing.  It has a sheen of light scratches, some moderate scratches, and playability is questioned.  I have seen worse for Beatles LPs, but I would grade this as FAIR only, with Poor being reserved for LPs best repurposed as ash trays.
Here is the evidence as I have see it:
1.  It was not until there was bright blue clear sky and the sun was overhead that I could identify the black triangle and take a photo for this listing.  It is the second photo.  I have circled the area where this triangle is.  It is located about 2 1/4" below the "oda" in Today. 
2.  The discogs listings of both a second and a third state butcher jacket state a "6" should be adjacent to the RIAA on back jacket - that 6 is present on this jacket.
3.  The record code is written as T-2553 on the label and T 2553 on the jacket.  The "T 2553" can be seen on back jacket; a T 2553 is also on front jacket at the very top edge right hand side, but that can't be seen here as it is impacted by the previous owner tape.
4.  The label is otherwise identical to those seen on discogs, including lack of "subsidiary" on rim text.
5.  The matrices seen on this LP are close but not identical to those provided in discogs for the 2nd or 3rd State:
Matrix / Runout (runout A): T-1-2553-G-18'  ? Matrix / Runout (runout B): T-2-2553-F-17'  ?
NOTE 1:  Some of the variants noted in both discogs listing suggest a number "1" or  "2" after the 18 & 17, before the star.  I could not see any number after the 18 or 17.  I do see single apostrophe, ', after the 18 and 17, and this 18' or 17' is on some of the matrices provided in discogs.  The  ?  is seen on both sides; a listing photo shows the one for Side B.  The discogs listing for the 2nd State Butcher also indicate a "Triangle w/ IANM inside"; the listing for the 3rd State does not note this triangle.  This copy does not have the triangle.
NOTE 2:  In a careful review of 1966 Mono versions of Yesterday and Today, ONLY BUTCHER BLOCK 2ND OR 3RD STATES HAD G-18' and/or F-17',  AND IN THESE LISTINGS WITH G-18' and/or F-17', THEY HAD THE PRESSING PLANT IDENTIFIER "6".  So there's consistency with the LP in this listing and these unique (i.e., no other 1966 mono Yesterday and Today) discogs Butcher Block listings.  
So there you have it.  I welcome any thoughts or questions from interested buyers.
