The Lifespan of an LP?


How many times can one play a new vinyl lp before the sound noticeably degrades? For the purpose of the exercise, assume one takes decent care of the record and has a properly set up and maintained, good quality deck and stylus. My system has been taking quantum leaps in quality over the last three years and I find myself buying more mint and near-mint vintage  records on Discogs and audiophile remastered records from MoFi etc. Thanks!

 I'm 69 years old.
I bought the "Best of the Animals in 1965".
It still sounds good now when I play it on my LP12.
We had a Magnavox console stereo growing up. Luckily, it wasn't trashed with that old heavy tonearm, and cartridge.
