damage has been done, probably dont want to do further damage. in the future there are thousands upon thousands of signed photos, etc that have these stickers and people wont want them on there anymore, and then what will they do? i dont know.
some people cover dirt, an inscription or other signatures on a ball by having a painted portrait put over the offending spot.
maybe something similar can cover the sticker, something not permanent but makes the magazine look nicer. i am not a fan of stickers either.
professional art and paper restorers could probably take the sticker off without any damage, but they charge 100 minimum and up from there depending on what type of work it is, the difficulty and how long it takes. I had a badly dried out, warped and wrinkled vintage muhammad ali cut on a piece of paper from 1966 totally flattened and creases taken out, with a good result, by a paper restoration outfit, it did cost me about 100 bucks though. it's a tradeoff taking money spent versus results versus worth of the item.
