Last week I found a record that I’ve been looking for.
The item condition is as follows….

-----------------------------------------------------------
Cover looks good- back has some ringwear. Also the previous owner taped the corners to prevent splitting and wrote her name in pen on the back. Vinyl has a couple minor scuffs that should not interfere with play; looks clean.
-----------------------------------------------------------

That's all I had to go by...

I emailed the seller 3 days ago about the couple minor scuffs... the auction ended today. I asked if they had played through the scuffs to listen for skips... they said they will Friday and email me.. Friday was the last day of the auction. So they lost my bid.

Me being a total rookie would play a record all the way through... especially if the record was rare like this one. But like you have said... "Rare records can be trashed" & maybe they didn’t have the time?

Your first post will be very helpfull for me!
Thanks again for the time.
Tom-
