When you open a new box of cards to you pick off the small sticky seal or just cut it and leave it on there?

Cards - What do you do with the seal?

I do what they tell you on Xtreme Beginners. You use your nail to tear the seal along the moon cut and just leave it on. Cuz the stickyness can get annoying if you peel off the seal.
Although I cut the seal and leave it on, for those wondering how you can get rid of the stickiness from removing the seal completely: use the sticky part of the seal and rapidly dab the sticky area. The sticky seal will actually remove the stickiness on the box, leaving a nice, clean box for you. 
Bingo. Always the way I do it.
Either that, or you can just soak the entire case in Goo Gone - although I'm 99.8% sure the box will be in absolutely no usable shape afterward.

I can think of 5 hilarious jokes just from this one sentence. But it was not meant to be.

Never had XB, but I've always torn along the 'moon' shape also. I think my dad showed me how, or maybe it was my grandpa.

I usually don't even bother messing with the deck seal by shredding the box open with various knives to get to the cards and then I burn the remains of the box into ash which I use as a type of fear paint on the streets.

ahaha thats awesome. i usually draw on my box with weird sayings and quotes. after i open it.
I also do that.
But for like an invisible deck. I tear it off because it's a really simple way to tell the boxes apart and the spectator's never notice.
Just an idea.
i always just tear it with my thumb nail and leave it. if however, it is a deck i have never used before i peel it off carefully and re-stick it on the inside of my wallet. i have a kind of wallpaper going on!
I just rip the deck open. I've heard a lot of people talking about all the work they go through just to open the deck of cards. Like spending 10-15 minutes removing the seal and getting the adhesive off. Crazy stuff like that. I just rip it open and go. They're cards, and the box is cardboard- plus they're fairly cheap.
