    Default Getting stickers off a sticker?

    Usually I get stickers off with olive oil (as effective as goo gone), but have came across some SNES games that have the price stickers from the thrift store and a blockbuster sticker stuck on top of the labels. How do I get these off without damaging the label stickers underneath?

    Blockbuster stickers, I know people will suggest stuff, but let's be realistic, basically unless they're the earlier laminate style labels the NES had its entire life and 1/2 of the SNES very very slow and painful rubbing and picking with a finger nail will do it, but anythin post-laminate you're screwed. Anything better than water will lift the ink right off the label, alcohol which would do wonders lifts it fast and it looks like a wet swirling pool of water colors.

    Your standard label either type of sticker unless they're the hard glue/computer security grid stickers can be picked away at slowly and removed, then the excess glue rubbed away but it's slow. I've done it, it sucks, but if the game is valuable enough I'd go for it, otherwise sell it to someone less picky for as much as possible and buy another.

    You can try some hair dryer for some heat, and work real slow. It's been awhile since I've done anything like that but it's time consuming if you want to avoid any damage.
