Years ago I would go so far as to painstakingly remove them from all my Mego boxes and cards but since I have had a change of heart. I started to appreciate just what precious glimpses in to the past price stickers really are, providing us to see not only what they originally sold for but even where they were sold! Unless the price sticker is one of those huge orange ones or in a place where it takes away from the card or box art, I now leave them on.
Where do you guys come down on this issue? Would price stickers on your toy packagings bother you enough that you would remove them or do you appreciate their history?

Rare to find price tags on figures now a days except kb of course but i nine times out of ten remove them. If I consider it a collectible I want it in as good of condition as possible. I do see your point though. Leaving them on is a bit of a history leason.

I would take them off something new I bought. If it was vintage I would leave it. Its funny to see how much prices have changed. I bet those Megos would be like $12.99 if the were sold in todays market.

Crazy isn't it? What I wouldn't give for 15 minutes in a ChildWorld toy store in 1975.

Take a look at an old Mego Corporation order form that I dug up. Now we're talking!
