Found a key comic book for cheap because it's got a sticker on the cover? I've tried all of the other methods to remove price tags and stickers from comic book covers, and have been disappointed. So i developed my own method that works great at safely removing stickers from comic book covers, which i share with you here!
Make sure you practice on some inexpensive comic books before trying this method on valuable comic books--it takes practice to master!
The materials and methods I use are archival. If done properly, they do not result in a purple or restored label from CGC.
