Removing a label

[brooklynbaseball]

Does anyone here have any experience, or can suggest how to remove the label pictured from this card. After taking it out of the slab of course. Thank you in advance.

Nobody? Hair dryer? Don't try it? It's an expensive card and I'd hate to ruin it.

There's no magic to it. When you split open the case, the label will pretty much just fall out... like the card itself. I like HOF plaques in SGC holders.

Oops, oh that label! ? Try Goo b gone

It looks like a label generated by one of those label hand-held machines; if so, the adhesive will be a bear to get off. Proceed with caution. Hair dryer would be the first thing I would try; it is very useful in removing price tags, such as on boxes and cardboard stock. As a former toy/action figure collector, using a hair dryer to remove old price tags tended to work very well…. Not sure I would try Goo Gone, as it may leave a staining residue on the surface of the card….

Thanks very much guys, I'm pretty nervous about trying it. Appreciate the input.

I would leave it alone.

I would also leave it alone. And if I was a buyer, I wouldn't pay more for it with the label gone and a discolored residue left behind. But, if it's just for your collection and you don't like the label, I would suggest Zach's idea.
