Hi Guys! I just picked up seven very nice DD's in playable condition. However I have hit a snag. The dealer put price tags on the paper labels. When the sales lady at the antique mall tried to remove the price tag, it also removed part of the paper label. (OUCH!  ) Anyone know how to remove these type of sticker labels, while keeping the paper labels intact? |

Thats a tough one Paul. You can remove them with different chemicals like acetate, but that might damage the label anyway. It's probably best just to leave them I think. In a couple years they will probably dry out and fall off. I hate it when dealers do stupid things like that. It could be worse though, I've got a couple with the price written in black felt pen. You'd think they'd have more sense wouldn't you...

Don't sellers understand that they're damaging a record when they paste on labels or write on it?
The labels that I do like are the store labels that some dealers stuck on the records when they were first released.

Well, a couple of the price tags have been on there for a while, and the lable is starting to show though. So I just left the other price tags on. Once the glue dries out, the tag will just fall off.

Maybe if we all offered them 25% of the marked price for their damaged records, they might learn not to do it. It even annoys me when they write on the cover. If they must do it, they could at least use pencil. I suppose we are talking about dealers who often send good machines off to be stripped and resprayed with a coat of plastic. I don't know why half of these people become dealers. They obviously have no respect for the history of an object. All they see is $$$$. |

I'm sure that there are sellers out there who have actually written the price on the shellac or condensite surface of their records!
;D

The seller was not a dealer, in phonograph records, or machines, but a regular antique dealer.
