Okay, Whart is 100% correct. Inna is wrong! Sorry, the vinyl record, if of good quality or near 100% virgin vinyl, is an elastic medium. Once played, it requires about 24 hour rest period prior to returning to it's original shape. Hence, I have LPs that I have played 100+ times which sound as good (or better with upgraded room and electronics) as long as I treat the record with care.
I have 28,500 LPs. The last three collections I purchased include120 LPs from a guy who only bought 25¢ to $1 LPs, often damaged, always used, 2500 LPs from a guy who took great care of his LPs but also often purchased used/abused LPs, and 800 LPs from a guy (major record/CD producer) who had 200,000+ LPs but didn't discern condition (sometimes perfect, sometimes dreadful, mostly used). So, buying collections or parts thereof are not so full proof. Oh yes 3 years ago I purchased an opera & classical LP collection of 1200 LPs which were in mint condition. The owner was fastidious and did not play them very often. That's the quality of a collection everyone wants.
Also, cleanliness of the stylus, condition of the stylus and turntable set up is paramount to maintaining one's collection.
