So i have boxes and boxes of older car magazines that im selling, but many of them have the sub scription info on it either with a sticker or printed on the page it self. How do i go about covering this up without wrecking the magazine.

If you want to remove them, the stickers might come off with heat, like from a hair dryer. The printed ones, you might have to cut them out, or possibly use white-out on the street address.
Honestly, though - your dad's address is probably available right in the phone book, on all his checks . . . unless it's an issue with him, or he's famous or something - I would just leave them as is.
How old are these magazines? Car magazines aren't collected with the same passion as comic books. And I see many dealers dismantling them and selling the advertising pages separately.
I see old magazines all of the time at thrift shops with their original mailing labels on them and no one cares. It's not as if his SSN# is on the labels. And he's not a celebrity or someone with a known rare car collection.

I agree that the labels are no big deal. My mother-in-law removes all the labels before she passes on a magazine. Is she afraid that someone might know she subscribes to Southern Living? Seriously, in one minute, people can find out your dad's name, address, his wife's name, possibly where he's worked, anything he's published or written on an internet site using his full name, etc. Information is not sacred anymore. Selling magazines with his name and address on the label will not lead to him being a victim of a crime.
Shipping will hurt the sale. Where are you located? Shipping labels are that big of a deal. It's not like they are going to go bother your dad and demand he give them more magazines.
