Visually the most prominent thing on that is, unfortunately, a sticker :(

Yes, I would have thought Steve Grad who is a huge Star Wars fan and collector himself would have lobbied for something less obtrusive.

That is promoting his company. All TPAs do that unless the customer requests in placed on the back.

It shows too. I wouldn't have it even if they paid rent for the advert space.

"...unless the customer requests in placed on the back...." I just read in here where the items were stickered on the front anyway, despite the request (I don't recall the specific service, but I bet the owner does!).

Also, one can just refuse to buy items vandalized on the Obverse. Other than that, most folks wants the darn things.

I really get a kick when a seller uses the certificate as the main photo on a listing. How ridiculous is it when the COA becomes ranked more important than the autograph itself?

Far too many are just to lazy to learn about this hobby and it's just becoming collecting by the numbers.

I've seen some certs framed with the item as equals. Collecting autographs w/o knowledge might be fun, but the additional understanding regarding the celebrity, his habits/life, the many qualities of...quality...and authenticity-related issues (and I hope we are all always learning) truly makes this a thrilling venture.

Ian, I am fascinated! Yes, the little mic is cool and must be something he adds frequently. I notice the photo that started this discussion has one as well. And so my curiosity lead me to check my signed album. Indeed, it has the microphone as well. I never noticed this before.
