Front Back

It was a fun find and I don't even own Star Fox 64 yet, so win-win! Any advice?

After doing more research, that sticker on the back that is mostly peeled off was the Not For Resale sticker. It would have been nice to have that intact, but I think in this case gone completely will be better than the ugly condition that it is in.

Wiggy, will the Bestine remove the back stickers without removing the back label? Your Youtube videos went to 404 pages for me.

It sure will!  It's really amazing stuff.  Here are non-busted links. Don't know what the issue is with them on the blog.  I'll have to look into that.

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, but will it do anything on these stupid plastic labels? http://i.imgur.com/EMJlons.jpg

I didn't think anything of it...I have this game with the NFR on the sticker. Unfortunately, the sticker is pretty much 1 foot, 4 toes and a heel in the grave already.

Unfortunately not. Nothing is gonna be able to penetrate the label to soften the adhesive since its plastic :(

You can try a little heat with a hair dryer, but you're still really likely to tear the label underneath.

I use to work for Blockbuster (worse job ever) and those stickers were made specifically to not come off without tearing the label so it was obvious some tampering was going on. I put so many of those labels on carts myself and feel so bad about it now.
