THERE IS ONLY ONE OTHER OPEN COPY THAT I KNOW OF THAT IS IN NM CONDITION! THAT COPY IS SOMEWHAT CLOSE TO THIS ONE AND WAS SOLD FOR WELL OVER $3,300 TWO YEARS AGO. AT AROUND THE SAME TIME I GOT AN OFFER OF $3,600 FOR THIS COPY! AFTER I GOT THE $3,600 OFFER THE GUY WANTED TO KEEP ON BUMPING HIS OFFERS UP UNTIL I SOLD IT TO HIM!! I FINALLY TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS NOT FOR SALE..HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD SEEN IT ON MY WEBSITE AND THAT HE KNEW IT WAS THE FINEST CONDITION COPY THAT EXISTED FOR THIS TITLE!

I WISH THEM LOTS OF LUCK FINDING ONE!! A NOTE ABOUT GRADING. GRADING IS SUBJECTIVE. I AM KNOWN AS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST GRADERS. I HAVE BOUGHT RECORDS FROM SO MANY COLLECTORS AND DEALERS AS WELL AS HAVE EXAMINED MANY RECORDS TOO FROM COLLECTORS WHO CLAIM THAT THEY WERE IN MINT CONDITION OR PERHAPS NEAR MINT CONDITION. WHEN I EXAMINED THE RECORDS MOST OF THE TIME THEY WERE NOT IN THE CONDITION THAT I WOULD SAY WAS NEAR MINT OR MINT. AT A BEATLEFEST IN 2014, MANY WELL KNOWN COLLECTORS AND DEALERS WERE DISCUSSING MY BEATLES PRICE GUIDE AND MY GRADING. IT WAS SAID THAT WHEN IT COMES TO RECORD GRADING STAN IS LIKE GOD, IF HE SAYS THAT THE RECORD IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION THEN THAT RECORD IS IN TRULY NEAR MINT CONDITION! IN 2001, THIS EXAMPLE WAS APPRAISED AT $5,000 BY A VERY WELL KNOWN BEATLES RECORD DEALER! HE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS THE BEST CONDITION COPY THAT HE HAS EVER SEEN! THERE IS NOT AN OPEN COPY EQUAL TO THIS ONE THAT EXISTS! IT IS SOOO CLOSE TO PERFECT! IT IS VERY RARE TO FIND A VERSION TWO MONO DISC IN NM CONDITION! ESTIMATED VALUE = GO FIND A BETTER COPY! DID YOU SAY THAT YOU HAD NINE LIVES?? YOU WOULD NEED THEM AND MORE! I WOULD BE VERY CONSERVATIVE BASED UPON THE ABOVE INFORMATION TO STATE THAT THE ALBUM IS EASILY
WORTH WELL OVER $4,000! IT WOULD BE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A COPY THAT IS EQUAL OR BETTER THAN THIS COPY! NOTE: A PREMIUM IS ALWAYS ADDED TO THE PRICE FOR THE BEST KNOWN CONDITION COPY! EQUAL THEN IF YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN FIND A COPY THAT IS OR IN BETTER CONDITION THAN THIS EXAMPLE BE MY GUEST! NOBODY ELSE HAS YET! A WORLD CLASS ITEM IN MUSEUM QUALITY CONDITION! THIS PARTICULAR COPY WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN VALUE. THIS ALBUM IN NM CONDITION IS ON EVERYONE S WANT LIST!! MEGA MEGA HIGH DEMAND IN TRUE NM CONDITION!!
