Stupid sticker on nice item JSA

[pooh528]

I thought the issue was defacing a historical one of a kind item or a piece of history? I can at least understand the thought with respect to those items. However, there are hundreds of thousands of authentically signed Mantles, Williams and Joe D's. It is not like someone is defacing a one of a kind historical item by putting a psa or jsa sticker on the front. And if these photos lose value because of the sticker, that's what the person who chose to do it has to deal with. Honestly, it's two seperate issues

Think about this: How many times have you heard someone say something to the effect of, "Aww man, you mean the sticker is on the back? I really wish they would have put it on the front, then I would be interested."

Even if a collector prefers to have the sticker on the front, I've never heard of anyone turning down a piece because it was on the back instead. I can't say the same for the converse.

So true!

I don't know why anyone pays a TPA to do it. I have purchased many autos in slabs. I have left them there for now but will crack them out when these companies go under. I won't purchase a stickered item, and there are many who agree with me. That's the authenticator/seller's loss.
