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.

Bought a nice NM early pressing of Blind Faith at Goodwill many years back. I was cleaning it prior to play and it slipped out of my hand and the grading dropped to an F just that quick.

  • Artemus_5, that is pretty much what I did, but I was not cleaning it, I was just admiring how pristine this 1957 lp was, and then well....it slipped outta my hands...🙄🙄
  • Maybe I have early stages of arthritis lol....
