About Us:

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 several 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 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 chain of custody.

The front cover on this butcher cover being offered for sale, as you can see from the photos, is totally gorgeous. No damage to the butcher slick. This 3rd state has a 1st state look. Capitol factory glue lines and residue is practically non existent. The only minor issue with this butcher is some overall aging to the back and borders. This is just a bit of overall browning, but make no mistake, there are no tears, writings or any other detractions. The back has almost NO ring-wear. This is a very nice jacket overall. The minor foxing made this an ideal candidate for framing. The top, bottom seams and spine are complete and tight and all lettering is legible. The only thing (barely worth mentioning) is a tiny beginning crack at the left corner of the bottom seam not even 1/4" in size.

We have framed this in a custom frame that uses the finest ph correct rag mat and uv safe plexi which blocks out harmful rays. The items are not permanently mounted and can be easily removed at any time.

We are one of the only in house professional butcher peelers on Ebay and would put this particular peel up against 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 because of the aging even though the peel as just as nice as any other peel we have offered. 

If you were to take this to a framer it would cost well over $200 for the same framing system without even considering the high cost of shipping a package of this size and weight. This system does not permanently mount the butcher or slick and both can be easily removed or adjusted at any time. Both pieces are doubly protected inside the frame.

Although the seams and spine are in good shape on this one, we strictly advise against attempting to place the record in this jacket to avoid any pressure on the 42+ year old paper and seam repairs. This package will blow you away but the price wont.  Please feel to contact us for more information on this. 

Sorry, but there is no record or inner sleeve included in this auction as the one that came in with this piece was not in great condition.. The removed trunk slick is included and mounted in framable condition with some wrinkling and wear and tear.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.

This is the last Framed Archival Butcher Cover in stock and the first and only time this particluar Butcher and Frame will be offered.

We've added a few extreme close ups to further illustrate the quality of this peel. If you look carefully, you will see virtually no obvious foggy glue residue that appears on even the "Best" Ebay butchers. Please check this out and compare. The quality is unmatched on this piece and we can vouch for this because we are the restoration artists and don't ever sent our pieces out to be peeled.
