Comiclink - lose the stickers PLEASE! (You Too METROPOLIS!) 0

[Meeklo]

They probably wish the stickers stuck stronger.

Aw...I see my new slab came in....but it's got a sticker on it!

 

I'll just take this off and....dammit....it won't come off!

 

Who would do this? Who did I get this from? The sticker says "Comiclink".

 

I guess I'll never buy from them again!

I've never had a comiclink sticker to try on, but I use lighter fluid to get stickers off record labels. If it doesn't damage an old 50's 45 label, it surely wouldn't hurt the plastic of a slab.

[Boba]

Lighter fluid and comics

 

They make high-quality stickers that hold firm and release cleanly when carefully removed.

I shouldn't have to subject a slab to cleaning with solvents if all Comiclink has to do is get better stickers or just stop doing it.

It's simple

[romanheart]

I wouldn't be putting any other chemical to the slab just to remove a sticker, even an unwanted one. I much prefer BACK COVER SCANS and a DESCRIPTION about date stamps/overspray instead

 

Even if they never listen that's my number one pet peeve about the site

[Garlanda]

The stickers don't bother me too much. It doesn't obscure any relevant information, after all. I don't like them, but they're pretty far down the list of things that annoy me.

[ThreeSeas]

I have used WD-40 in the past for removing old tape and stickers from various surfaces, although I have not yet tried it on a slab. I would figure this would be like other plastics with stickers and work the same.

Goo-Gone Gel. I've had books with all three stickers on one. Always fun.

Comic connect has gone to removable stickers.

 

Are New Force stickers removable?

easy peasy.

[budsbundy]

I just bought a comic on their exchange, I should have messaged them to not put a sticker on it when they receive it from the seller(or do they not do it to exchange books? I can't remember)

Not to mention that my list of Sales Pending has books that were sold years ago

They won't. Also they won't show the back covers. Much more, they won't update their website. They are simply stubborn.

I wonder how much of the scans shown is dependent on what the seller gives them to use?

In the case of the book I bought, it had huge front and back cover scans, and a nice pre cgc scan of the interior pages before grading.

 

But I agree about updating their website, that will never happen.

I like their stickers. There is a small price difference between cheap stickers that tear when you remove them and nice ones that peel back without any residue. I would imagine that CLink could cough up the extra 3¢ on a sticker label to keep their customers happy.

I asked them before. They said it is too much to work. That was three years ago. They may be dinosaurs for a long time.

Well in truth why should they, I mean we all complain and tell them what we would like from them (no stickers, updated website, being able to save something to a watchlist, etc.) but whats their insensitive do they have to actually do it? Even though we don't like some of the things they do we still buy from them,and use them to sell, knowing they'll put stickers on the comics we send to them. They seem to be doing quite well, getting good prices at auction, and such so if their business model is working for them do they really have to change it to make them us happy? We keep using them the way they are so there's really no pressure on them to get it done.

Because we would have more confidence to buy more often.

I talked the reps from GPA once. Clink is not partnered with GPA.

I know - that's what I'm saying, the sales don't get reported there.

It's a culture thing. There is nothing like just sitting there peeling off CLink stickers. You know you have to go real slow (like on a first date ), never be impatient and force it , let it take the time it needs

 

Over the years I've come to consider myself a Master Peeler (pun intended )

 

And they come in different flavors - some leave no residue , some deliver in spades

 

I guess it all goes back to Forrest Gump
