LP "Cutouts"

Often I see used records with the corner clipped or a whole punched in the corner. What was/is the significance or history of this?

thanx

Why didn't he just reduce the cost?? I mean, I buy things on sale all the time. I don't remember having the shirt I bought having a piece cut out. If I have to return it, I have a receipt that shows how much I actually paid.
