I agree with Mr. Zipper here. I will quote Leon from the National photo opportunity thread, but with a couple of small changes (his original words in parentheses).

Just to play the other side for a minute. With respect certain items, especially items that someone wants to frame and also show it has been authenticated by one of the TPAs, it would make sense to put the sticker on the front. That being said, on a historical item like this I think it I think it is silly to put it on the front.

Once I saw a regular 8 x 10 photo signed in sharpie that was matted and framed side by side with a full LOA that was the same size. it looked ridiculous.

So if the owner specifies a sticker on their piece do they also specify it to be crooked? I've seen countless JSA and PSA/DNA endorsed items with the sticker placed like it was done by a 16 year-old Shop Rite stockboy with a price gun. I have no sympathy for someone who chooses to ruin (in my opinion) their own piece, but for God's sake if you're going to do it why not make sure it's on straight!

its the tpa's fault, they dont have to deface the document. they can use common sense, (which they usually lack) and not put the sticker on the piece. just because someone wants it there, doesnt mean it has to be an option.
if you go to a rolls royce dealership and ask them to pop all 4 tires for you before you drive off the lot, they wont do it. They have a brand to protect. the tpa's not only dont think putting the sticker there hurts their brand, they think it helps i.e. free advertising. It's crazy.

In the future, the collecting hobby will see the folly of these stickers on the front of the photos and it is my opinion that the photos with stickers on the front will bring less money at sale and auction than those with the sticker on the cert or on the back.
nobody who gets a babe ruth photo or lou gehrig photo certed has the sticker placed on the front, but people who get williams, dimaggio and mantle DO put the sticker on the front. Well, in the future the mantlees, dimaggio and williams signed photos are going to be the equivalent of the ruth's and gehrig's moneywise anyway, and the gehrig and ruth signed photos will be out of reach for the average collector and the williams, mantle and dimaggio signed photos will be the ones that collectors can afford, even if they are a few thousand apiece, and most of these photos will have these stupid stickers on the front of the photos, and collectors will think, "what the heck"??????????

I thought the issue was defacing a historical one of a kind item or a piece of history? I can at least understand the thought with respect to those items. However, there are hundreds of thousands of authentically signed Mantles, Williams and Joe D's. It is not like someone is defacing a one of a kind historical item by putting a psa or jsa sticker on the front. And if these photos lose value because of the sticker, that's what the person who chose to do it has to deal with. Honestly, it's two seperate issues
