Removing Authentication Stickers?
Posted By: Jon Canfield
Just curious if anyone has ever tried removing authentication stickers from paper, and if so, what process was successful? I have a few photos and letters that I would like to remove the tamper proof sticker from. All can be matted out but I would rather remove than matte over. |

I don't have any great advice on this, as some come right off and others are tricky. For the tricky ones, the residue left behind can be worse than the ugly sticker itself. |

Don't waste your time calling PSA or JSA. The stickers were designed to stay on the piece and hurt it if removed. |

PSA, JSA, or anyone else who puts these stickers on an autographed item, should be strung up by their boots, shot, run out of town, or receive some other suitable punishment. |

Tom, I couldn't agree with you more if I wrote your piece myself. |

Of course! And let it be known that I was never a fan of applying those stickers on vintage material. It was my job, and I did make suggestions to revamp the process which never panned out. |

The PSA/DNA stickers are designed to not pull off in once piece. This is what makes them tamper evident. I'd leave it on. |

To remove it, I used a hair dryer on a low heat and a scalpel blade. Some very mild residue remained but it was salvaged. |

I would not buy something that has a sticker on it especially if it was in a location that was not wanted/desirable.
But if I have a sticker on something especially like a photo I would have the matting used to cover it. I would not attempt to take the sticker off because of the potential it could do to the photo, ticket stub, etc. I think the potential damage and/or glue residue would look worse than the sticker on it.
