Hello All,
Since joining the forum and wandering around, I have decided to put my wobblers back in their boxes and display them that way. I never noticed, but on most of my boxes my local comic shop put the price directly on the plastic window. How the heck do I get the goop off? I am sure there is some magic potion that I am unaware of. Could someone help a newbie out?
Thanks,
Zoomgirl aka Lisa

THERE IS A POTION
There is a product called "Goof Off" that will take those price tags off safely. It will also remove paint spots. But, be careful not to spray any on your wobblers-because, well, when I say it removes paint-I really mean it!!!
It's at Home Depot for $4 or $5 bucks.
Hope this helps you out. 8)

Removal Products
Goof Off removes the paint very well and comes in two versions water-based and a more powerful smelling chemical based product. I myself have not been able to find the water-based product and use the latter vary sparingly as it is very powerful both in removing paint and in the odor it leaves behind. A small dab on a ear swab should do the job and give you better control in applying it
For the removal of glue and price stickers I use a product called Goo Gone. It has a pleasant citrus smell and is less toxic than the Goof Off product and works better in removing the price sticker and residue and dries to a clear.
Hope this helps.

GOOF OFF STINKS BUT IT WORKS
I was wandering through a farmer's market in NoWheresville one day, when I came across a guy selling hot car stereos and fake Rolexes. He had a bunch of Wobblers in mint condition in mint boxes, except the idiot had written "$8" in black Sharpie on the front window of each one.
I was debating whether or not to buy them. Most were retired.
(Note to Riot: At this time, I kept mine in their boxes, and will be voting.)
Once I haggled him down to $6 each, I thought, who cares about the boxes? Someone told me about Goof Off and it took the ink right off. So I basically stole these from this guy.
End of story. -----I didn't mean this to be a testimonial, but maybe I should make an infomercial for the stuff.
It stinks, but it works!! :lol:
