Can someone confirm that the orientation of a record label in relation to the location of stamps and etchings on a 45 runout area are effectively random?
In other words, label position and stamps are likely to be different from one copy to another?
I sold a mint 45 on ebay the other week and the buyer is returning it for a refund because he says it is unplayable due to a nasty scratch... he sent a photo and there are subtle marks on the label that tell me it's not my copy, but I need something more obvious to prove he's a crook.
Looking at comments left by others, he is making a habit of this - upgrading his collection by deception and theft.
