Question for Jodi re: PSA/DNA Stickers, etc

If you remove a sticker, there will be some customers who will wonder why there is no sticker as there normally would be on such an item. If you didn't want the sticker on the signed object, I recall PSA would instead put it on the LOA. They often did this with a group lot LOA. With a removed sticker, there would be no sticker on anything where there normally would be. Obviously, this would be more the situation with generic COAs than full LOAs that picture the signature.

It's fine and acceptable to remove a sticker, but realize that if you have a Willie Mays signed baseball with PSA/DNA COA, some collectors will say, "Isn't there usually a PSA/DNA sticker on the ball too?"

I don't know, but it's also possible the authenticating company will consider removing of tags as voiding the LOA or at lest being problematic. Presumably, tags are used for their own identification and cataloging purposes, and perhaps they would say the LOA would have to be redone and signed object reserial numbered (at charge of course) if the tag is gone and someone desires the LOA to still be officially recognized-- even if this is only a paperwork thing.
