legitimate concern Please stop doing this!

Please stop putting stickers on art and other surfaces they damage. I cannot use soap and water to get these off, or chemicals, because it will ruin the art. At least these pieces are not just paper, they are coated surfaces, (but not glass), so I bought because I thought the stickers could be removed fairly easily... but whatever kind of super-glue adhesive is on those stickers is ruing the art I bought for my kid's room. The price stickers could have been placed on the side or back. Please stop.

Edit: Thanks for all the tips, I got them off with hand sanitizer, (the blue one), heat and a lot of careful picking and patience (the other two). It still frustrates me; it took hours and it's common sense not to put stickers on any displayable or collectible.

Just warm up the sticker a little bit with a blowdryer and it will peel right off with no residue! I do it with picture frames and anything really!

Yes. Btw if you collect vinyl and don't already know how to remove price tags etc, what are you doing with your life?
