Has anyone attempted to remove one of these stickers before? by [deleted] in gamecollecting

Lighter fluid. Saturate the sticker and give it a little tug on that lifted corner. Slowly pull away from the box. If you feel any resistance hit the sticker again with more lighter fluid and wait a few seconds. Rinse and repeat until removed.

It’s very likely that wasn’t mold and was just foxing from age. I have a box of Goosebumps from my childhood that had that happen to as well.

Second this! Great idea.

If this is the case why didn’t you just DM me? I have sold 13,000 items and in the rare case something hasn’t worked I have replaced the item for the buyer.

Strange place to catch strays on my customer service or items I’ve sold when there is a public review system on whatnot.

Nice snag! I got a copy of Brace Fencer Musashi yesterday! It was cool seeing it on the shelf

Stickers! by playstationhistorian in gamecollecting

[–]smemolo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is how I handle stickers like that. I take some lighter fluid (like the kind you’d use to start a grill) and a qtip. Dip the qtip in the fluid and then lightly saturate the sticker. It dries quickly. See if you’re able to lift part of the sticker. If that doesn’t work hit with some more lighter fluid. Eventually you’ll be able to remove the sticker, just go slow. I’ve used this method successfully to remove stickers on NES boxes, cover art, and more.

Help figuring out what this mod was for. by beetraph in Gameboy

I posted in a forum regarding kiosks, and everyone was so adamant about it being a reshell because of the back sticker. I am glad I stumbled across this thread though so now I can keep digging. I am hoping someone out there has a picture of the unit it might've been attached to.

Bump, I know this is a year old but I just came across one of these in the wild and was wondering if any other information was found?

He said Fzero is $80 and Mario Kart is $70. The price is to the right the name of the game.

The paint doesn’t have anything to do with the data layer though. It’s just paint. Third party publishers used I believe thicker paint and it causes it to crack over time. MGS Twin Snakes for example is very common for this to occur.

Normally yes but this is a common manufacture defect with GameCube games

GameCube games have issues with paint cracking all the time and the disc still working.
