Goodwill stores in Buffalo, when I started making regular trips there, always 
used a grease pencil to mark the price on the shellac. No damage done and you 
can always tell where you bought that particular disc. Same thing on LP 
jackets. Then there's the Bop Shop in Rochester, one of my favourite haunts, 
but the stickers they put on the $1 LP labels to prevent tag switching always 
manage to cover title info (why never the label name, Tom?) and rip off the 
surface of the label unless you are VERY very patient in peeling them off slowly.
