The decals have never been peeled off the backing BUT these decals are almost 30 years old and the adhesive will most likely not be as high a quality as it was 3 decades ago.  Please be aware additional adhesive may be needed if you intended to use these as stickers.  Please take a close look at all of the photos provided, as they depict the exact item you will receive. I do not use stock images.   The decal sheet has been stored for decades in a rolled position.  It will ship rolled and well protected.
