I've always felt like we don't have enough stickers on our slabs around here. Because a good sticker tells a lot more of the story than the slab ever will.

Allow me to remove my tongue from my cheek now.

But I do agree with Peter that the market has paid a premium for them. I've seen bestickered pieces with 50-100% premium. Even when it doesn't get that ludicrous, the premium is often easily 10-20%.

I suppose we can debate whether this result occurs because the item is truly superior even without the sticker, or whether the sticker itself is just worth that much.

I will say that the PWCC sticker seems to mostly be about centering. And I think the market over the last few years has seen a more pronounced focus on centering, with well-centered pieces commanding a serious premium over the rest. So the sticker premium could be more about the centering premium more than anything.
