That would be me. Now we're talkin' my language. Got a motherlode of those!

I didn't find a protective sticker, but came upon a krylon spray if you have a large amount of tags to protect. It was $7 a can at art supply.

One change I'm using from this thread is that I will begin using an ordinary pencil on starts so I don't waste a tag on a permanent marker with a non-germinating variety. Now the pressure is off to pick up a permanent marker this week. When I ultimately buy one or more of the suggestions above, I will write on the other side and compare pencil to marker. I am so tired of a mix up in mapping and the tag fading. Double whammy.
