A note about
the "Orange subscription sticker" on
the front covers of a few
issues in the early 1990's :
I have downgraded the condition rating of these issues
only because the sticker is bright,
not because it is large or worse than an address label.
It can be removed with a hair dryer.
It works best if one person holds hair dryer and the
other person eases the hot sticker off slowly.
