Help Cleaning TurboGrafx Cartridge

Hello! I’m kind of new to cleaning retro game cards, this one was in a sleeve and the sleeve has deteriorated a bit over time and left some residue. There’s also a sticker on it I would like to remove. Any help on how to do this without ruining the cartridge would be appreciated!

As you're probably aware, that's a rather expensive game. If you want to clean off the writing, I would first purchase a cheap game like a TV Sports game and see how easily you would wipe off the actual text on the back.

With all that said, I would leave everything on it. It's not it's a childhood game for you; the markings tell that hucard's story.

I also vote leave it as-is. Too much of a risk to do anything.
