Not sure. This is a very very cool item, and I would have bid had I focused on it, but there is autographed Beatles stuff in every auction. Not like anyone threw away an autographed Beatles album. And it's not like they were only together a year.

I'd love an authentic copy of the butchered baby album, and not one that's been peeled off. Now that's an item.

My best friend is a huge Beatles fan, and has been our whole lives. I found that album at a yard sale, just like you said, not peeled off, for $1, bought it, and gave it to him for his birthday when we were 12. He was tripping hard, telling me he couldn't keep it, it was worth too much money. I told him it was only worth the dollar I paid for it. He still has it.

Looked at it at one point. There is the type 1, which is what you found. There is type 2 which has had the replacement covered peeled off, and type 3 which is the replacement cover/sticker still on. Some auction house has (or recently had) a type 1 signed by the fab 4. Recently saw one.

The people that had the yard sale had told their daughter she couldn't have it when it first came out, she bought it anyway, so they took it from her. It was never opened. It's got to be worth a fortune today, but not worth the fun of having given my best friend the coolest item he owns (in his eyes).

If it's the one I am thinking of I believe it was John Lennon's personal copy.

Great stuff guys. Aaron, quite the steal on the T206 Hartsel proof- I was the underbidder, and on an airplane all day (literally) to Hong Kong last Sunday, so I missed the auction close...Why do we think this Hartsel went so low? the two type 1's (without name) went strong as expected, and so did the other type 2 (with name)...but why did Hartsel remain so low? I'd like to hear some opinions on this, as last auction there were some type 2's that went for around $8400. Either way, congrats.

These two bids held up for me...

Thanks, I absolutely love it. I have no idea why it went for so much less than the others and was planning on calling Brian (Dwyer) in a couple weeks to ask, once their post auction frenzy quiets a little.
