Different tags use different adhesives, and the type of paper to which the tags are affixed makes a difference
in the difficulty of removal as well. Two popular removal methods that usually meet with some success are
heating the tag with a hair-dryer until the adhesive dries to the point of "non-stickiness,"
and a sparing application of acetone (e.g., nail-polish remover).
Try either method on the box of the least valuable collectible with the tag in the most unobtrusive position,
to minimize damage if either method proves less than ideal.
