Upon returning from the terrific Vegas convention and putting away over 100 new cards in my fast growing collection, I've discovered that many cards I picked up at trade sessions that had white labels affixed to the cards identifying them by catalog numbers, descriptions, dates, or prices, were not easily removeable labels. Please do not use any other label but the peelable type. Adhesive remnants remain on many cards when inferior labels are affixed and are subsequently removed. These sticky substances adhere to album pages and other cards when placed in storage files, holders, etc. The longer these permanent type labels are affixed to cards the more difficult it becomes to remove them. We are currently experiencing the ground floor of this relatively new popular casino collectible. It's a shame that some desireable cards are being damaged by otherwise good intentions. We must all take care to preserve cards aquired for the future by taking proper care of them today. Thanks for listening .....
