Not me, but I have an OCD friend that does that in addition to keeping every friggin' catalog they used to include. Hello! They're all the same except new ones every few months buddy!

I think the only one that I ever kept was the first one that featured the Bergman Devil signature. I believe it was on Scenes from a Marriage. I threw away all of the others, including the subsequent Bergman stickers.

I'll save the stickers of Criterion DVDs, but I save the stickers of any and all DVDs, both the security sticker, the one with the title, and any other stickers (not price stickers though). Although I don't worry about them if I can't get them to come off the plastic in one piece, then I just throw them away.

If they got 'em, I'll do it.
Still P.O'd that some damn clerk taped the price tag of my Blood For Dracula over my "Director Approved" sticker.

I first put on a pair of latex surgical gloves so I don't get any more fingerprints on the outside shrinkwrap. I then carefully wipe it down with a lint-free cloth to eliminate all signs of human handling. After this, I sssssllllllllllooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwly peel off all stickers (including price-tags and sale stickers), placing them carefully onto individual acid-free archival-quality 3x5 cardstock. On the back of each of these cards I apply pre-printed lables I've created bearing the DVD title from which the sticker was removed, the date and exact time the disc was purchased, the name of the store where the purchase was made, the exact amount paid for the DVD, the weather conditions at the time of purchase and a detailed description of the clerk who sold it to me. These cards are then individually bagged and numbered, then the numbers and contents of each bag are cataloged in a Microsoft Access database. If the DVD was bagged at the time of purchase I also save the shopping bag, carefully folding, dating, numbering and cataloging it in the same fashion.
