Posted By: <b>Andrew S.</b><p>Is the orange sticker actually on the front of this slab? Would hate to try and get the sticky residue off if it is really stuck on there.<br><br><br> <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-E90-1-Amer-Car-Bender-PSA-5-5_W0QQitemZ350136258202QQihZ022QQcategoryZ31718QQs sPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-E90-1-Amer-Car-Bender-PSA-5-5_W0QQitemZ350136258202QQihZ022QQcategoryZ31718QQs sPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a>

Posted By: <b>Doug</b><p>I would imagine that it is on there. All you have to do is peel what you can off and use goo gone to take off the residue. Edited to add: Just make sure to use goo gone and not goof off. I don't know what is in goof off, but it will eat through the plastic.

Posted By: <b>Jim VB</b><p>Goo Gone is citrus based. Goof Off is petroleum based. If the smell doesn't knock you out, be sure not to use Goof Off near any open flames!

Posted By: <b>Rick McQuillan</b><p>I don't understand why dealers still put labels on graded cards. If they spend a nickel on a graded card sleeve the label can go on the sleeve and the card will be protected from scratches.<br><br>Rick

Posted By: <b>Tony Andrea</b><p>Goo gone, Goo off, why should a buyer have to even deal with it. <br>Stickers on slabs are a royal pain in the ass. Any dealer who uses <br>them and is reading this post, please stop using them, immediately.<br><br>Thank you, Tony Andrea<br>

Posted By: <b>Andrew S.</b><p>As Scott mentioned, the sticker would become dated very fast and would be misleading as the pop reports change. I tried to remove a price sticker covering the hologram of a PSA slab once and the hologram got rubbed completely off, leaving fine scratches behind. Slabs like this cause me to adjust my bids down accordingly.

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>Surprisingly.... WD-40 works very well on this typr of residue. Just apply a few drops to the sticky area, rub gently with a cloth, and it will all come off. No scratching or tell-tale signs of removal, either.<br><br>Give it a try if need be!

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>I received a slabbed card in the mail last week and the seller used a great deal of clear packing tape on the slab and surrounding cardboard and it was a horrible mess! Luckily Goo Gone to the rescue and although the slab smells a tad lemony every bit of stickiness is gone <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif">
