Cool site. Not being an autograph expert, I found this statement rather interesting regarding the JSA authentication sticker:

"Number one rule of thumb in the collecting business: Never affix a foreign matter to an original item of historical importance. This includes historical documents, maps, original collectibles, coins, stamps, autographs, etc. A professional would never deface a historical piece by putting their official business logo on it. It defaces the piece and irrevocably alters its historical significance and value."

Is that true? And if it is, why would JSA do that?
