It would be nice to see the rest of the sentence and to know the context.
Usually, self-sticking labels/envelope flaps/decals/etc. are called "des auto-collants" (...AND instead of "age").
Logically, a "xxxxage" is the action or act of doing something. Therefore, a sentence with something "appliquer du talc pour éviter un auto-collage" means "apply talc to avoid the product sticking to...".
If its a thing (a label, a decal, an envelope flap) that is self-adhesive, then it would be an "auto-collant".
So whatever it is, translate accordingly...

plaque with a 4 X 10 deluxe engraved player stat plate. ...

self- adhesion, self-sticking,
"à éviter", so it would be an unwanted thing which would go against previous answers

Context is logistics, packing etc.
For the purposes of translation, though, I may have to change it.
Thanks for your help.
