[Mr. Zipper]

I believe I have shared this information in another thread, but just to bring some perspective...

It is the customer who decides to have a hologram added to an item.

I can tell you for a fact that some customers go as far as to include diagrams where they want stickers placed. The authenticators have called customers on the phone to double check. "Are you really sure you want the sticker here on the item? We can put it on the back or elsewhere..." and customers INSIST on specific placement. Sometimes that placement makes everyone cringe. It may be hard for some to believe, but the guys working at the TPA love the hobby and the material.

So as much as that contradicts the anti-TPA narrative of the thread, it is the truth. If you see obtrusive sticker placement, it may very well be the fault of the customer.
