Rev Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Seen this frog bog. You can follow the discounts, interesting. From 21 to 4.50. Do you remove them?

Intymike Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Many of the price tags tell real history. How much the games have costed. From what store they are. Pretty interesting sometimes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I forgot to say, I concur with the rest: keep the stickers -- I do on mine as well. Like @Intymike said, and as you noted, those price tags tell a history. -dZ. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krslam Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I've got one like that, with the stickers documenting the price falling from $29.99 to $2.99. No store ID, though. These amuse me, so I've never removed them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep the price stickers on also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMBerzerk Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Keep them... they're ugly, they intrude on the graphic, and they don't look right... but they're RETRO!! I kept them on mine. I have one from Caldor and Toys R' Us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik's Arcade Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 totally keep them, especially since they are on top of shrink wrap. Gamestop, take notice!!! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Psycho Stormtrooper- Rog Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I have tackled this same issue over the years. I used to try to remove them if i thought i could without damaging the game box. I was successful half of the time when using heat (hairdryer) & flat tweezers. Problem is that the other half of the time, the antique print on the box would come off with the price tag. In the end i dont think it was worth the effort and damaged game boxes. Better to have a vintage tag on it than a rip. Best bet is to leave them. And never try to remove from shrinkwrapped games. Besides, its fun seeing how the price came down further and further until they were trying to give them away...lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saldo Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Just wondering if a grading company would down grade it due to the stickers. Any thoughts or experiences with grading companies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts or experiences with grading companies? Grading companies are a 100% scam in the retro gaming community. NEVER buy a graded game. Ever. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
