I discussed a mono cover. A third website now says, "values for unsealed, opened copies of First State issues have sold for anywhere from $5,000.00-$25,000.00, depending on whether they are mono or stereo."
What about if you have one that's got that cover under the replacement cover?
What you refer to is the Second Stage Butcher cover (the "trunk cover" which is pasted over [nobabe]the butcher[/nobabe]) - the second website I visited said that on average they sell for between $250-$1,250. (as valued in 2000). A third website says "sealed mono Second State versions have sold for $5,000.00-$7,000.00 and stereo copies have sold of upwards of $10,000.00. Pricing for Second State issues can vary widely, though nice mono examples often sell for $500.00-$1,500.00 and stereo copies from $1,000.00-$3,000.00."
A Third Stage Butcher cover is the peeled album. Chemicals are used to peel the truck cover off to expose [nobabe]the butcher[/nobabe] cover. Anyway they will run between $300-$1,500 (as valued in 2000). The third website says "the widest price ranges come with Third State issues, as the condition for copies seen on the market is all over the map. We’ve seen badly peeled Third State copies sell for as little as $50, and the condition was so poor that we thought even that price was generous. Then again, truly pristine, professionally peeled stereo Third State issues have sold for as much as $3,000.00. It all depends on condition."
