    Default Q for You Fellow "Sealed" Collectors

    The price-tag sticker: To peel or not to peel?

    Do you prefer seeing the tags left alone, or would you rather have them peeled, at the expense of leaving a sticky white remnant on a botched job?

    Just curious.

    On a sealed game I would leave the stickers. I wouldn't want to risk tearing the plastic, and taking it off is going to leave a goofy mess anyway.

    Plus I love seeing $.99 Woolworth stickers on 2600 games.

    My sealed Super Glove Ball for NES has a $69.99 sticker on it...I paid $3 for it, so I had to leave the sticker on.

    Depends if i'm trying to sell the game or not. I ripped off the sticker when I sold a sealed copy of Marvel vs Capcom 2 on ebay last month.

    Depends. Game = peel it. System box = probably leave it on, sometimes.

    Leave it, man..

    But if you are there when someone is about to price games, Ask them to not put the stickers on the labels.
