    Congrats on an awesome find. I love when Criterion does things like this. They used to issue postcards of releases too back in the day. They would put them in random DVD releases. I am really happy for you. Enjoy and keep reading, designing and collecting.

    Use WD-40 to get the sticker off. It wipes away easily after the glue is gone. Just use Simple Green or 409 to clean up remaining solution. You can buff out with a microfiber cloth after that.
