Thanks everyone for chiming in. It sounds like I'm stuck with it. I wouldn't mind paying a restorer a hundred bucks if they could definitely remove it. If anyone tries to remove a sticker from an inexpenseive item I'd love to hear about the results.

By the way, does anyone know a good restorer in the Bay Area?

Have you contacted the knuckleheads to ask if their stickers are easy to remove? It could be simpler and less risky than you think.

I believe that is not the case and that they are very difficult or near impossible to remove.

What really gets me is when they do this to rare photos, and baseballs.

one "authenticator" graded a ball that already had the sticker of another company on it, and did not take anything off of the grade even though the ball had a foregin object on it (sticker). Now if that sticker would have been a chiquita banana sticker, the grade of the ball would have dropped substantially, but because it was an ABC sticker, they didnt take anything off of the grade.

My question is why?

both ABC and a chiquita banana sticker are foreign objects attached the ball, detracting from it. but one is okay and the other is not.

its a crazy world, who can understand the craziness anymore?
