If you care about your stylus, these records are virtually unplayable. The only reason you might consider purchasing a record in this condition, would be to acquire the cover. This assumes that the cover is a lot better than the record. To the record collector, the cover is just as important as the record. Remember, with so much being reissued, if one just wanted the music and could tolerate the sound of a CD reissue, they wouldn't need to buy the record.
Every attempt is made to describe any defect or unnecessary writing on the record jacket.
If the cover has been drilled, clipped or otherwise mutilated, it will be part of the description.
