Using old sticker sheets

Post by Optimus Maximus »

So I been noticing all the sticker sheets being posted lately and I am considering buying a few of them. The problem I'm having is are they still gonna be good to use? Are they better off being used to just complete a complete boxed figure or can I still use them considering the condition of them or should I just go ahead and get repros?

Looking for packaging for 20th Anni. Masterpiece Optimus Prime and his axe and Megatron gun. PM me if you have any of these at a reasonable price.

In my experience, if you have a vintage sheet, its probably not a good idea to use the stickers. Some may be fragile, but ruining a mint sheet is not a wise choice as far as re-sale value goes. If you just want stickers, I would go with repros. They are not as much as a vintage sheet, but they look just as good, and that way you still have originals if you do decide to one day sell.

I would also get the repros instead. The glue is prone to perish.
