Hey Guys,
I'm Looking To Polish Up Some Of My MIB Collection & Was Hoping To get Suggestions On Safe Removal Of Price Tags. Especially The Marshall's & Ross Stickers. Those Seem To Be Extremely Difficult To Remove Without Damaging The Box. Any Good Suggestions Or Proven Techniques? Yo Joe!!

Goo gone maybe? I haven't tried it on a box, but that what I use to get price tags off of coffee cups and dishes.

I've always heard of using a hair dryer, it heats up the glue and loosens the sticker from the package.

I thought about that for the plastic, but not sure how that would work on Cardboard.

I've used goo gone on trade paperbacks to remove price tag leavings. It worked pretty well, just use it sparingly. My books don't seem to have suffered any ill effects.

Goo gone always works fine on the boxes for me but when the Spirit and Quick Kick came out I was never able to take those off with out leaving a trace of a halo or tearing. I only tried a couple of figures because that's all I could find. Don't think I would try those again.

Hair dryer or I use my desk lamp which is one of those those with the long neck and half dome. I used Goo Gone on some cardbacks and stuff came off fine. Still, I'd prefer to use heat and patience.

Thanks guys,
I'm gonna try both methods & see what happens. Hopefully my wife will give up her hair dryer.
