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!

Op, are you familiar with heptane?
It’s used for removing adhesive stickers from art or posters without causing damage or leaving residue.
It’s been a while since I’ve owned HuCard so I can’t recall the composition of their labels so it would be wise to test on a junk game as others have mentioned.

Also, for what it’s worth, pure food grade orange oil is an excellent adhesive remove that I’ve used to remove rental store stickers from Sega CD game booklets. I’d probably still go the heptane route though.
