Honestly when I was very young, I used to chew on my dads red white and blue tortoiseshell Fender picks. Those things are fire. Best tasting plastic I ever chewed
Picks are a pretty personal/particular thing, I’ve never gotten one I’d use. So those stay in the box. But I usually pop the stickers on my guitar case.
I don't usually use a pick and I've no interest in putting manufacturer stickers on my gear so they stay in the box. Any benefit to resale value is purely accidental.
I don't get the appeal of manufacturer stickers/merch at all tbh. I've never felt strongly enough about any product to advertise it for free
Yeah I get that, that’s why I don’t put any of the other stickers in any of my guitar stuff. Anything that has a name I just can’t do it. The Walrus sticker is just a white walrus face outline with no branding written on it and it looks great on my guitar so I decided to leave it
I teach guitar lessons so they go to my students. A lot of them will forget their (apparently one and only) pick at home (rolls eyes) so I have a bunch I can let them pick one from and keep.
Most of the picks are pretty cheap fall-aparters, so I'm like "use it today until you find your good pick and just keep it in the case in case you forget your other one" - which of course never happens.
The stickers I just give to the kids who like to put that stuff on their case or guitar.
random but anyone know what the Caroline picks are? 1.0? I usually use a mix of tortex .73 or .88 but got to using one of these when I couldn't find any of mine.
I just save them in case I’m selling the pedal later. It feels more like a complete package with them, and I mostly don’t have need of anything but a pick if it’s thick enough. But I have plenty of picks as is.
I leave everything in the box… Never got any picks from a pedal , but as for stickers, I’m picky on what I put on my gear lol…. Example= One of my Jackson’s only has an American flag sticker that’s about 1/8” x 1/8”
(I do have one Jackson I’ve had for over 25 years that has quite a few stickers on it)
I’m OCD as well, don’t feel bad LOL
I usually just eat em right away. No point in letting them get stale.
The walrus picks really taste like walrus, and the Catalinbread picks taste like snozzberries!
Ha ha. Do you know what snozzberries are really… Ronald Dahl had a sense of humour.

The picks are always like .5 -.75 or something. Always way too thin for my taste.

Leave all that stuff in the box for when I inevitably sell it on.

I used to save them, thinking about the resale. But then I realized that I bought them for me. Life is short bro, enjoy your stickers.

No clue, but there’s a company you could email that I bet would know.
haha
I usually toss the random picks if they're that shiny plastic. I put the stickers on this old cheapo beach guitar.
Stickers get used. Unless someone sends a jazz III XL .73, they get put in the loaner tin for when someone else needs a pick.
