I see scratches from sleeves and my carbon brush all the time. They are easy to see under white LED light and even ordinary yellow light. If people don't see them it does not mean they are not there.

That said, I have seen some disks are resistant to the scratching and others are easily scratched. There does not seem to be any hard and fast rule here either, though it seems the softer formulations used by Pallas have a greater tendancy to scratch than harder formulations used by Optimal and RTI, for example

In the end, I don't care about the scratches. My collection is worth ten cents to anyone else and I am never going to sell my records anyway. They are there to listen to - not to be admired in mint condition.

I am a music lover, not a record collector. Whilst I take exceptionally good care of my records and they are all visually flawed, this does not effect the sound in any way.
