    Default Sticky Stickers

    As a collector I'm wondering what's the proper etiquette for dealing with these darned rental and or pricing stickers on my games. First - will a sticker lower the value of a game? Should I leave the stickers on or attempt to remove them, and if so, what's the best way to get them off? (Gamestop looves to put price stickers on their Genesis games so they just manage to cover a portion of the label - If you're not careful---bam -you rip the label.) Thamks for any input.

    You need a bottle of Goo Gone there, brother!

    I swear by that sweet, toxic, citrus nectar of the gods (tm). It'll help with Gamestop stickers, EB stickers, and even those pesky silver rental stickers that scar your game with "VOID" upon removal. Awesome stuff. Just don't drink it.

    And for the record, I remove *every* sticker on my games. The time spent to carefully pull one of a Genesis label is well worth it.
