This is a pet free no smoking household office one man operation, prior owner had a small cat and was also a non-smoker, so when he took photos once in a while, a stray tiny hair got into a photo, as photos are taken behind a small camera so hard to see any imperfection when a photo is taken which is not a scratch, so if you see a mark on a record photo in listing that is not a scratch or mark. I personally play test all records and grade them as a certified record grader when I worked at Goldmine Magazine, the leading record grading magazine. I do not sell any records that are brand new pressed and made this current year we are in right now. These vibrations cause very faint vibrations in the air (in other words,'sound'), so the sound of the needle is not very loud. As experienced record buyers know the sound that you are hearing is the stylus in the groove vibrating back and forth when there is not a loud band or instruments playing between or during a song or for example during the run in of the record which has no grooves as well.
Issues with some older autographs is they can fade over time, mainly due to exposure to light, especially ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight, which breaks down the ink's chemical bonds and causes the signature to lose its vibrancy. Authenticators use microscopes that zoom in 10 times or more and can see any damage or issues.
