| I've learned a lot and have enjoy the heck out pf these forums. Here's one I'm sure has been discussed before but can't find a thread for it. As I'm sorting and making good progress towards selling comic books on ebay I've run into a handful of comics with price labels affixed to the comic. Obviously the example below is an easy answer. I paid $2 out of a bargain bin and that's pretty much what it ever will be worth. I could leave it be, peel it off, or toss it to the neighbors dog and all would be good. But what if it was one of those rare finds where the comic was worth more in value? $300 comic? $2000 comic?? $5000 or higher? Leave it be? Try to peel it off? Send it in to a pro (if one exists) to remove it?   |

| BTW I've developed a method over the years that is highly successful (tho very tedious) of peeling off labels including the residue beneath very cleanly and clearly. | ||

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

I do this for a living on my Ninja Turtle toys that have walmart or kmart price tags on them...especially forgiving if it's on the new glossy paper on comics.... use Goo Gone. This bottle. No other version of it works as well. Use a q-tip and a VERY small amount and lightly rub in a circular motion until the substance is removed. I feel like this is for SURE going in the "out of context member quote" thread. |

Use this stuff. It doesn't leave a residue. |

Dear God! Why would someone put a price label on a comic cover like that? It's 2017 for god sake.  |

They also have in one corner 4 to 5 long boxes of used comic books. The vast majority of their labels are on the outside of the bag but you do get the occasional direct to comic sticker as well. I've pointed it out to them and it's much more rare now. You still get a stray once in awhile. You can see some discoloration where the label was but no residue left.  |
