 If you're saying that any scratch on the label
side means that the disc is a goner you are
mistaken. It depends upon where and how large
the scratch(es) are.

 For example, if you scratch a ring around the
outer edge of the disc, and if the disc was not
recorded clear out to the edge, the scratch will
never even be seen by the pickup, let alone
affected by it.
