I have a handful of these cards but never took the protective coating off.  I took it off one, and it came off easy and left no residue, no impact on the cards.  What is the recommendation as to whether I leave the coating on the rest, or remove it.

Input much appreciated!

Thanks, .David

I would keep them on- I would think most collectors want cards as they were issued in packs or sets, even if the "protective coating" obscures the picture a bit.

For my personal collection I prefer it off. For the cards I trade, I usually leave it on, so their next owner can make the choice.

 I leave them on even though I put my cards in binder pages.  I just like to keep the front safe and that is another layer to help do that.
