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 
Genuine and Authentic 1966 Peeled Stereo Butcher Cover Package complete with the Removed Trunk Slick, Record and Inner Sleeve. Very reasonable opening bid price for a Stereo peel of this quality peeled by TheButcherCover peelers. Especially compared to what is usually and currently offered in this price range for a much rarer Stereo peel. Please see photos of the 2nd state (unpeeled) jacket prior to peel and please see our feedback for customer satisfaction specifically relating to genuine Butcher Covers. 
While there are some condition issues with the jacket, this could be yours for a fraction of what a top condition example would cost. A mono (not stereo) top quality peel just sold recently for over $7000 ! 
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 (at least 5 times more according to factory production records) 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. Don't just take our word for it, look around. While this scarce Scranton PA Stereo cover has some seam condition issues that were repaired, etc, this won't set you back $2000 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. Compare this to what is offered on the web in a similar price range and we're sure you'll agree that this is pretty nice and better than most as far as Stereo peels are concerned. No large tears or other evidence of serious damage to the butcher slick. Glue residue/Capitol factory brush lines from application of that adhesive (at the original Capitol pressing plant) used to adhere the trunk cover isn't too bad on this one but please take your time and look at the photos before making your mind up. Please see photos and text below for further more specific details about the actual physical condition of the jacket .
Seams: 
Top seam has a cleanly repaired 5" crack from the middle of the top seam to the mouth edge. Bottom seam appears to have been mostly split and also neatly glued. Please see photos. Given the age/repair/frailty of the seams, a vinyl record/inner sleeve should never be attempted to be placed in the album jacket. (See seam Photos)
Spine:
Spine is not too bad and all writing is legible with just a few small chips of missing paper (one in the very middle and one at the bottom tip) and some light checking in a few spots. (See Spine Photo)
Back Of Jacket: 
The back of the jacket shows light to average wear/tanning with a light stain in the bottom right hand corner next to the RIAA logo. (See Back of Jacket photo)
Trunk Slick: 
Removed Trunk Slick is included with some wrinkling and minor repair. (See Trunk Slick photo)
Record/Inner Sleeve: 
A Scranton Stereo Record is included which plays through without any major problems but does exhibit some minor sleeve scuffs and scratches. 1966 Goldenrod Capitol Records Inner Sleeve is also included. 

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 seam/light wear 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 !
