you'd probably get more hits on this thread if it wasnt in the B/S/T, as it's off topic.

Having said that, yes, it will decrease value if you remove the peel. I dont know these cards, but everything is worth more in its original state.

Econ 101 (in relative terms):
Every card is able to be peeled, therefore there is an 'unlimited' amount of peeled cards.
Once the card is peeled, it cannot not be reversed, therefore there is a limited (and never increasing) amount of unpeeled cards.
Supply and Demand.
(assuming) Demand will 'stay the same'
If the supply of the unpeeled cards decreases and then the price will increase.
You are going against this...

... Simply put, don't peel them

I have never noticed any price difference in peeled vs peeled. They sure look a lot prettier peeled.

This thread confuses and frightens me. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury.... I'm just a caveman.
