I recently purchased a record, Joni Mitchell Mingus, on eBay from a record dealer. When received it had a hole-punch in the corner. I looked back at the ad, and the front pic had a price sticker on the outer sleeve covering the hole. The sleeve it came with, no sticker. The other pic showed the gatefold open with the front and back corners (with holes) conviently out of the pic. I messaged the seller and he explained that pic was an old pic of an other (same) record he sold previously. 🙄
Why cuts into vinyl covers?
Sorry if this has been asked before. In my search to purchase vinyl I come across albums that have holes drilled or half inch cuts into the corners of the albums. I've come across this on CD cases as well. Does anybody know, who does this and why? And do you think it devalues the album?
Thanks in advance.
