The other situation you might run into is one where one corner of the
album is cut off. This also indicates the record is from a cut out
(remaindered) bin.
Cd's can have a hole drilled or melted into the corner of the case. What
the fumes from the melted plastic can do to the CD can't possibly be
good.
Not a stupid question at all.

I think it means the records have been remaindered.

Hi,
I have a question about a peculiar thing I observed on many records I
own.
Many outer sleeve have a little round hole, hand-made not original, on
the
high left corner.
I noted all the records with this hole are record I bought from USA
(as
you
know I live in Italy).
The inner sleeve doesn't have any hole so, it was taken out of the
other
sleeve, the hole was made, and then the record was put in again.
The records are in good condition so I don't believe is a strange way
to
indicate bad or worn records.
I suposed it may be a way to store the records on a wall but in this
case
the inner sleeve has to have a hole too.
Maybe the answer is obvious or stupid but I cant mind about hole
reason.
Bye
