The removal of sticker labels from the tags of collectible toys.

To:  Greeting Card and Toy shops where stickers are used on tags.

A petition to protect the collectibility and value of collectible items particularly:

Beanie babies (by Ty Inc),
Tatty Teddy products (by Carte Blanche Greetings),
Teddy Big Foot (Carte Blanche Greetings),
Bobble the Little Blue Owl (by Carte Blanche Greetings),
Elliot and Buttons products (Xpressions gift company)

along with many other collectible ranges.

As well as being aimed at children, there is also a huge market for the above products as collectibles. The collectibility and value of these products are being ruined by shops displaying prices on stickers, which leave a glue residue on the card tags, which is impossible to remove without damage. Products cannot be classed as perfectly MINT if in a condition where a price gun has been used. Many of the products mentioned above include 'tear off tabs' where the manufacturers have specifically added the price themselves (eg Carte Blanche Greetings). This should be left for the customer to remove if they wish as many people buy as collectibles and the products are not MINT if removed. Many alternatives such as card signs, or simply leaving on the manufacturer's own prices, would resove this issue.

This petition is to stop the use of sticker labels on products which also have a collectible appeal and to stop the removal of manufacturers own labels where concerned.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
