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.
