Beatles Awesome 3rd State Butcher Cover Package w/Removed Trunk Slick
Please read entire description/auction terms prior to bidding on this item. Thank You 

If you've been looking for a genuine peeled Butcher Cover with decent seams/spine that comes complete with the removed Trunk Slick & Record and Inner Sleeve, then this might be for you.
 Please read the description below for specific details on condition. 

While the market is currently getting flooded with overhyped peels with large obvious large scars/damage, the good news for buyers is that this is one is a gorgeous peel without such major issues. This one is far better than what is usually seen out there in this price range. But don't just take our word for it, look around and compare photos what you are buying for what price. Take a close look at the photos and please see below for specific condition description. 
This item will be safely and securely double boxed and shipped to you via Priority Mail. 
Condition: 
Front of Jacket:

Front Peeled Butcher Slick presents nicely overall. An awesome example of this rare treasure. (Please see photos)
Please see photos to verify specific condition and feel free to contact with questions.

Seams: 
Top seam is mostly complete with just a slight 2" crack towards the right side of the top seam. This crack appears to be secure. Bottom seam is complete with no splits.To protect the future condition of the seams, a record should never be placed or stored in the jacket. 
Spine: 
Spine is complete with the minor exception being a chip of paper missing that removed the letters "A" and "N" of the word "And". Other than this, spine is solid.  (See Spine photos).
Back Of Jacket:  
The back of the jacket is decent and exhibits only light wear and a few light stains. Nothing out of the ordinary for a nearly 60 year old album jacket. (see photo of back of jacket). 
Trunk Slick: 
Removed Trunk Slick is included with minor wrinkling/minor repair from the peeling process. Still, this slick appears good enough to be framed. See last picture to see the 2nd state jacket prior to being peeled.
Record/Inner Sleeve: 
Comes complete with an East Coast Coast mono pressing in VG-/G- condition. Skip on the beginning of "And Your Bird Can Sing" on Side 2, but otherwise plays through with not too much noise with "Day Tripper" being an exception with some more pronounced background noise as it was likely enjoyed/played many more times by the original owner. Many folks would play their favorite individual songs over and over again in this manner. Comes with the original Orange 1966 Capitol East Coast inner sleeve with some typical bottom/side splits. Vinyl record will also be placed in a mobile fidelity original master sleeve.
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. This item has been through a laborious restoration 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/Capitol Factory glue residue/minor touch up is from either process. The photos speak for themselves and we do our best to accurately grade these historic artifacts. 
T-Shirt Seen in Background on first few photos is NOT INCLUDED.
Thank You !
