I am referring to the clear adhesive type that was put on some early CD based games by well meaning collectors and/or shops. I think they were outlawed as game system drives got faster and the extra weight made the discs unbalanced. I have always hated them and, of course, one of my valuable games has one. I played the game through when I purchased it, so it does not seem to be causing harm.
The sticker is now 18 years old and seems to still be okay. I have always wondered if it is going to ruin my disc as it ages and the adhesive dries up and shrinks. I know they are impossible to remove.
Time to look for another disc, or should I just leave well enough alone? Looks like a $50 question per auction sites.
