To peel or not to peel the 2012 Champ stickers - that is the question

[Mr Grasshopper]

may be different if your cards are placed in a penny sleeve and folder not a school bag,

It was on my school books, and cardborad like the one Select provide to be stuck on, It may last longer in a penny sleeve folder but I know that after 30 years this glue dried up, it may last up to 60 years in a penny sleeve folder but the glue won't last for ever.

I'll be 91 in 60 years time, the condition of the sticker cards from 2012 will be the least of my worries, if I'm still around!

Hay James in 60 years I will be 99 years old and have a mint set of 2012 unpeeled Peel and Reveal Stickers to pass on as the value would be about $1000 a set, that is the best thing I love about this hobbie, everybody collects in different ways and thinks about the future of their collection in diferent ways.

Lol, Not with all the fees they charge !

how do we know that in 20 years time these stickers won't start to peel back.

It's just as possible for the glue to dry up on the unpeeled stickers

True, Ok, I just went to my 1983 sticker collection doubles and peeled Chris Mortimer from the Dogs and stuck it on my reflex box, it's still sticky, will tell you if it peels back. I think if you don't peel them they should be ok, but once peeled that's it.

I prefer not to peel then its as if they came from packet to album in mint condition.

Ok test results, Chris Mortimer from the Dogs sticker just fell off the reflex box this morning, so these stickers once peeled after 30 years would not hold on a surface for long, but in saying that the glue
they use today maybe different from the one used 30 years ago.
I will post these results in 60 years time.
