I would like to remove a sticker auto from the 2021-22 Panini NBA G League Box Set card.
Who here has attempted that before? Is there any wisdom the group would be willing to share so I am successful?
Thank you!

Why do you want to remove. I haven't tried.

Trying to acquire one card for every for every set, insert, parralle, minor, euro, team issue, oddball etc sets produced for Hockey. Been an interesting project.

Nor have I, but I'd rather have a sticker AU than a damaged card. And a removed sticker AU can lead to fraud if utilized elsewhere. Just saying...

The hope and dream is to remove the player sticker auto, leaving a nicely designed blank spot to get the referee featured in the background to sign the card.

I haven't tried doing that, but I have removed stickers from things very carefully over the years. Using different methods some have succeeded and others, well others haven't.
One of the best ways to remove a sticker is to heat up the glue using a hair dryer on high (or if you have one a heat gun). Hold the dryer over the sticker for a few seconds be careful not to get the dryer too close (if using a heat gun definitely keep it a good distance away they can melt and burn stuff before you know it) but close enough to heat the glue enough so the sticker can slide off and/or be pulled off carefully. There is a tool called a "Scotty Peeler" that is a plastic scraper tool that some people swear by. I haven't gotten around to getting one yet, but have thought of trying it out. Hmm I sense a hop onto Amazon soon.

If going the heat route I would definitely start with a hair dryer - heat guns can be powerful and nuke/burn very quickly if you are not familiar with them.
Whether you go heat or scraping I would start by experimenting on a card(s) you don't mind losing as there is obviously the potential for damage.
Best of luck!

I found that Ryobi makes a small handheld heat pen that has two heat settings (450/750) which are not as hot as the high temp on bigger heat guns. I bought it to use on former library books to get the various tags removed with minimal damage. So far, I'm pretty happy. I also got a stubborn price tag removed from an action figure package card with good results. Still needed to do a light wipedown of a bit of residual glue, but the sticker came off pretty well.
The spot where the heat comes out is about the size of a dime so precision is more easily attained. Ryobi 18V ONE+ HEAT PEN

Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized.
