JSA sticker affixed to loa instead of autographed item?

Well yeah but I meant if an item doesn't have a sticker and the LOA doesn't have a sticker, it is a bogus LOA. The poster asked about items with stickers on the LOA but not the item.

That's not always true either. Some people end up taking the sticker off the item for whatever reason (aesthetic or otherwise), and thus they'll have a letter with no sticker and an item with no sticker.

Not meaning to "bust your balls" over a technicality, just didn't want "newbies" to believe a blanket rule that is not accurate.

Fear not, my balls are fine. I can't account for every situation but all things being equal an item without a sticker with an LOA without a sticker would raise a major red flag for me.

Aren't the stickers designed to be self-destructive if there's an attempt to remove them?

Yes. They can be removed, but they break apart. So in all likelihood, you will be removing a number of fragments with tweezers.
