I agree with Jmustang, removing stickers is top priority for me. I've also learned how to remove those horrible rental stickers, and marker.

Why do people do that!!!??

On topic, you have a good cache of stuff, guy.

Nice collection, bit of advice though: These guys are right about the labels, some even corrode and damage cases/plastic over time. On those DVD style cases, take the liner out before you work on it. Cannot stress that enough, worst case is you end up replacing a case, the liner is much harder to replace. Goo-Gone, patience and tenderness will get them off about 98 per cent of the time!

Question: I've heard ammonia works to get the stickers off. Is that true?

Not sure, but I use a blow dryer to remove stickers from N64 labels and it works beautifully. I've even removed a sticker from Gamecube cover art without messing it up. So I'm sure that would work well on your cases. Just apply a good bit of heat and start peeling. If it gets hot enough, you should be able pull the whole sticker up in one go, but you might need a little bit of goo gone or what have you to remove any residue.

Thanks, I'll try that. I was just about to try and take off the sticker for Kirby, and realized I didn't know what I was doing, or if what I was doing it well
