A friend just told me she saw a copy of The Beatles’ “butcher cover” album selling for 300 dollars. Is that a good price? I’m not sure about the quality but let’s say it’s an A. Should she buy it?

At a quick glance, it looks like they’re selling for anywhere from $40 to $700 on eBay; you (or she) should search “completed listings” for _beatles butcher_ and see what comparable stuff is selling for.

It depends- is it peeled off? If so, is it peeled off well? Also make sure it is not a fake.
