Records not stored vertically for decades


I’m looking to eventually get my vinyl rig back up n running and went to get my albums and found they’ve been lying flat probably for decades in two stacks of about 75 albums in each stack.  Any chance they’re still in good shape, or what damage may have been done versus being stored vertically?  They’ve been in a dry, temperature-controlled basement the whole time.  No way to play them right now so just hoping they might still be ok.  Thanks for thoughts.

"Who cares what other gentlemans could think about when you have you are the LP owner and you can watch directly to see if are ok or not?"

- What does this even mean?

You're making this way more complicated than need be.  Simply turn them over and let them sit for another few decades.

Sanest advice I've read in this forum in years.

Stacking causes ring wear on the jacket. The record(s) should probably be okay.
