PEC 12 might do the job. Most large pro camera stores sell PEC 12 as a pump spray, sealed cloth wipes, or in 1 qt. cans. PEC 12 is made to clean prints (Paper or RC) and negatives. It will not harm the surface of RC paper.
I would place the print face down on a larger piece of parcel post wrapping paper and wipe the goo off the back of the print onto the surrounding parcel post paper. The goo should be absorbed and held in place by the wrapping paper and it shouldn't migrate to the face of the print. Change the parcel post paper often until all the goo is gone.

Now if the sticky stuff is actually just something like rubber cement applied unspeakably smoothly on the back of the print, how would one get that off?
