<p>Exactly, Joe W. If we treat our hobby the way that it should be treated, there would be no need to consider selling anything. What we need is a database for collectors to post images of all of the autographs that they achieved in person.</p>

<p>I do not mind the stickers on photos, but I prefer not to see them on other items. Thanks for the comment, Dan.</p>

<p>Everybody has their own comfort level. I have come to realize that experienced collectors are the most accurate. I also believe that quick opinions should be taken with a grain of salt. Now when it comes to Epperson, Zarelli, or Phil Sears their quick opinions carry a higher consideration.</p>
<p>The bottom line is each collector is accountable for their own decisions. That's the one that carries the most weight. A sticker may help you sell your autograph down the road more easily. That is,…</p>

<p>I prefer TPA stickers affixed to the reverse of the item. On the LOA means you could be getting a great copy. I’m extreme on certification. For instance, if it’s JSA sticker, I’ll still send quick opinions to Epperson, PSA/DNA, BAS, if ANY of the three comeback with a question, I won’t purchase the piece. So anything I get in music is “quad” certified. As a result, many pieces I would like, I don’t get because it can’t pass the universal test. I also prefer this method because anyone can…</p>
