The collectible itself will carry significance indefinitely.
The sticker represents advertising for an authentication company that will inevitably be here today/gone tomorrow. A sticker should never be placed anywhere in view. That includes anywhere on a Ball, Bat, Glove, Cleats, Uniform or on the front side of a flat item (Photo, Litho or Artwork). I suppose the reverse side of a flat item is ok, but even then you are compromising the piece. Why can't their meaningless sticker or hologram simply appear on the LOA (which can contain a photo of the item in question?) Last edited by perezfan; 01-24-2012 at 12:06 PM.

Another thread on here exemplifies that balls can be replicated to look identical to the original. What would stop someone from having a replica made to be sold with the original LOA? They could keep the authentic autograph while selling a forgery with proper documentation. I am against putting a sticker on the item but if you put the sticker on the LOA this is always a possibility.

I voted no. What happens if the TPA goes out of business?? What happens if years down the road no one trusts this particular TPA anymore??
Can you imagine if say GAI (when they were somewhat reputable) put their sticker on almost everything you owned? Wouldn't that decrease the value largely in today's market??

I just thought of this also,, is the sticker acid free? If not, just wait, it will take a while, but in my opinion it will damage any item.

My favorite ruined photo with an advertisment sticker on it.
an iconic shot of archie moore-ali, in the heat of the battle, black and white photo. then your eye goes right to the gaudy, red, white and blue sticker on Ali's kidneys. just disgusting what they do to these photos. Last edited by travrosty; 01-25-2012 at 05:26 PM.

Disgusting what psa and jsa and others do to these wonderful pieces of memorabilia. cheapens them. crass commercialization for the purpose of cheap advertising.
would you rather own this piece with the sticker on it, or without? Last edited by travrosty; 01-25-2012 at 12:29 PM.

I am wondering if you can blow dry that sucker, er, sticker off.
I have successfully used a blow dryer to remove scotch tape.

The sticker is only an "option" for the first in line, most items are sold and some repeatedly. I think it is a terrible "choice."

exactly, the next owner in line won't have a choice unless it is to avoid the piece with the sticker on the front, hopefully will lead to unstickered certed photos worth more than the stickered, then the stickering will stop. otherwise removing the sticker without damaging the photo, (that's the trick),is the only other solution to the sticker problem. i think it can be done.

They should not put stickers on any item any more than they should write the grade of a card on the card itself.
I have never walked into a museum and saw stickers on the paintings, statues, or other misc pieces of history with a sticker on it telling me it is authentic. I certainly don't want there to be anything either.

Since the solution is so simple, I would think they use the sticker as an advertising device more than for anything else.
