I know I'm not supposed to. Gamers at tournaments have scolded me when they see how I store my cards. I am weak. Thanks for the great advice. I'll try to incorporate some of these ideas - particularly for the games I care most about and/or seldom get to the table. My name is Paul, and I am a rubber-bander.

Thanks for the great advice. I’ll try to incorporate some of these ideas – particularly for the games I care most about and/or seldom get to the table.

All too often, they have a permanent adhesive made to hold into the item for years to come, and they don't want to come off without taking a layer of paper with them. Goo Gone will remove them, but will probably interact with the paper or ink. I consider this to be worse than the yard saler writing the price on the box. Someone in a store should know better. I've used masking tape on items I hope to move or relabel quickly. In general, if I can't put a string tag on it, I just don't label the price.
