Quoted from fattrain:And no, it will definitely NOT lower the value (that's just stupid). However removing the "goodie bag" is a no no in some higher end collectors eyes. (I always just leave mine stapled if its there)
Never even thought of leaving mine in. If it costs me a couple hundred to someone when I sell because I took the bag out, so be it. That's just silly to me and really I don't even want to deal with a buyer that would try and talk me down on a HUO game I bought NIB because of that.
On the original post, those stickers are horrible in that picture, take them off. I actually like and leave the new Made In the USA stickers on my Sterns. I swap around my playfield glasses a lot on all my games and I can always find my "newer/better" glass with those stickers on.
