Up for sale in this auction is a Used Copy of The Beatles Yesterday and Today!!! The Jacket is a worn, with split seems, little stain on upper left side & previous owners initial, which is a very common trait of most of the 2nd state butcher covers. The record is in very very good plus condition, and plays VG+ to Near Mint but plays perfectly!!!
Also it contains NO Sticker on the cover!!!  Making it the real deal!!!!
The following are ways to tell if it is a butcher cover when the "black triangle" is not very visible : this one has the number "3" (butchers will have 2,3,4,5,6 and i believe 12,13 but number 4 is apparently the rarest)on the back cover on the lower right corner to the right of the RIAA symbol.also the trunk cover is pasted onto the jacket.finally the last way to tell is if there IS a red "gold record award" symbol on the front cover, then it is def. NOT a butcher cover.mine does NOT have the symbol.it is very hard to see the Ringo black V neck sweater triangle bleeding through the cover, because of the type of glue from the factory the # 4 RIAA version used.the glue was very thick and sticky,making it very difficult to make out the V and also very hard to peel off.also the #4 factory in Illinois destroyed most of their copies and only a few managers were allowed to have them and the remainder that weren't destroyed were used and pasted over w/ the trunk cover,I have heard.sorry for such a long message...i hope this helps explain the other ways to tell if you have a butcher as stated.Message me w/any questions and offers and thank you!

• Near Mint (NM or M-)   A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect.
  
  The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
  
  An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.
  
  Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
  
  Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.



• Very Good Plus (VG+)   NOT Near Mint but comes close with just a few paper scuffs and very slight marks in vinyl that don't affect sound quality.
  
  A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
  
  Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".
  
  The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.
  
  Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
  
  In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.



• Very Good (VG)   Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
  
  Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
  
  Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price. This, not the Near Mint price, should be your guide when determining how much a record is worth, as that is the price a dealer will normally pay you for a Near Mint record.



• Good (G), Good Plus (G+)   I will probably not sell this condition record unless its rear and someone wants to have in their collection. Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).
  
  A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
