It defaces the piece and irrevocably alters its historical significance and value."
Is that true? And if it is, why would JSA do that?

I don't care who does it but putting a sticker on an antiquity is a dispicable and indefensible practice, imo. I have some stickers on items and every time I see them I just think how dumb whoever did that was. It's idiotic!!
