Record mishaps

Just dropped a pristine 1957 Faye Richmond Girlesque record I received from ebay on (of all places) the corner of my end table, while examining it under my table lamp. This resulted in a few what appear to be superficial scratches 🙄.....so what was pristine is now.... not so much...depressed....has anyone else ever done something stupid such as this in regards to record handling? This is a first for me. I'm hoping to play it at some point to see if the scratches are audible....its a mono record, so I think it may play ok.

I have many Martin Denny albums that make great listening room decor.

As far as music content, it's funky ambient, conversation fodder. 
Similar to Esquivel! albums.

I won the bids on 3 Pentangle records from Japan on E-bay 
and somewhere in the mail they got bent !
Yes bent , one actually had a fold looking like a stair step !!
I send my records out to be ultrsonically cleaned and luckly
he also offered a flattening service .
For $20 each 2 out of 3 were flattened and the other took 
2 turns in the flattener .
Great records of great Japanese quality but boy they became EXPENCIVE .
I guess anything for the love of the hobby .
