I'll second that verification. At this year's All-Star Fanfest, a MLB authenticator was sitting next to the players at the signing table, and you could have your item authenticated for free. I presume you could ask the authenticator to place the hologram sticker in a specific location.

Here's a photo I took at the Fanfest showing Mets star Howard Johnson signing a baseball for a fan, while a MLB authenticator applies an official MLB Authentication Hologram sticker to another ball Johnson just signed and a second individual enters the information into a computer.
