Best way to get sticker residue off PSA slab?

Bought my second graded card in years and, sure enough, it gets sent in a manilla envelope with zero protection, other than Scotch Moving & Storage Tape, which was used to tape the card to the inside of the manilla envelope...I guess to keep it from moving around. Now there's tons of sticker residue and it's annoying me. What's also annoying is that this eBay seller sells graded cards, so they should have known better.

Thanks in advance!

    Orange oil or Goo Gone works just fine, Patrick.

    Stickers on PSA holders is a big no no for me! If it were me it would be getting reholdered for $5

    I've always used undu adhesive remover. It comes with a little plastic scraper for tough jobs and it smells good too image

    Will Goo Gone remove sticker residue on cello packs?

    Yep, sure will. Just make sure you don't get any of the liquid
    in through the wrapper. Best to wet a corner of a paper towel
    with Goo Gone and wipe the sticker residue off that way.

    Here's my slab maintenance kit. PlastX for light scratches,
    and Goo Gone for sticky stuff.

    Yes. Pure rubbing alcohol works well, too.
