Default Anyone else keep stickers on slipcovers?

I was wondering if anyone else keeps stickers or any other promotional material coverings or anything else left on the cover. I take off the price stickers, but I keep the UV/ First time on BD/ Movie Cash/Oscar ones on. I'm starting to think I'm the only one. Stupid question, I know. Just being curious.

I usually leave them on there and sometimes the store stickers, too, if I come across a blu that looks like the sticker has been on there for a few years.

The only ones I keep on are the ones that say what makes it an exclusive.

Never bothered to remove them until about 6 months ago when I removed all of them. Thankfully It did not cause any damage. The only slip I had issues with was hellboy 2 lenticular where the sticker just won't lift so I have left it on rather than damage the sip. Otherwise I remove them completely now as I fear the adhesive will eventually discolour or damage the slip.

I keep the stickers on that the manufacturer puts on but I take off the stickers the store puts on. I do however take off all stickers if it is lenticular, it looks better.

I use to keep them on until one day I got bored and started to reorganize my collection so I started to take them off as I went along.

I take them off if they aren't going to mess up the cover, otherwise they stay on.

Only on the Scream Factory titles as those are specific to the movie and are usually nods to the film, like the They Live BUY sticker or the Halloween III Silver Shamrock sticker.

I'm not big on slips but if I keep one I always take the stickers off. And I've yet to encounter a sticker which I can't take off damage-free. I use a mini scalpel to delicately lift an edge and then carefully peel (years of dissection practice finally paid off). Then I use a piece of Scotch tape to "lift" off any leftover residue.

Some stickers complement the slipcovers. Examples would be store exclusive stickers like Futureshop or even film exclusive stickers like the Super 8 film roll. But know matter I always try to remove those white price stickers from slipcovers.

I take them off the front cover and stick them on the inside of the slip.

I keep them on, and then throw the slip into the garbage can.

Only thing I remove is the price tag. I leave everything else on it.

Surprised this thread lasted 15 posts before someone mentioned they throw away their slip covers.

I always take the stickers off of mine. The only one I've had trouble with is the cabin in the woods slip. I used the residue remover from target but it's still not completely off.

Unless there's a sticker that says "exclusive bonus disc" or something like that, I take it off.

I usually take them off, why cover up the artwork with stickers lol Unless if it's a sticker the indicates it's an exclusive release. For the stubborn stickers, I use a hair dryer to heat up the glue on the sticker and it comes right off
