I found this post 10 years ago but no mention of PSA stickers. Ill keep looking.

I have an SNL vinyl signed by John Belushi and others. Had it authenticated by PSA in 2017. I was misinformed and a little stupid thinking the best placement would be on front of the item. I know better now of course. Its tempting to get that sticker removed but probably best I just leave it as is

Here are links for the sticker removal and for my SNL vinyl id love to get the sticker removed

Also found this.. theres a few forums out there. Search on Google. Some say to use a hairdryer but there's no way i would try that. It would damage a glossy photo. Could work on paper items. Maybe there are extremely cheap authenticated items out there we can experiment on? I wouldnt attempt it on a valuable item until im 100% certain it would work

Depends on what kinds of stickers there are. If it's one on the dust jacket of a book and you can't normally peel it off (Goodwill stickers are usually easy, other brands like Talize are a bit tougher and leave a lot of residue), a drop of Goo Gone on the sticker, followed by using a towel and some light rubbing, takes care of the residue in a few minutes.

I currently have a handwritten letter glued into a book that I'm planning to get removed by hitting it with a hairdryer on low to the page it's affixed on for a few minutes.

Nail polish remover contains all sorts of chemicals uneccesary and possibly unstable or damaging etc. You don't want a stain in 3 years. Use whatever the correct solvent is in its pure form. If this even works.

true, nail polish is proven to leave a residue on glossy photos. But i believe they were putting in on the sticker only, very carefully in light layers. Ive never tried so I have no clue but im thinking this "melts" some of the elements within the sticker...? I may take a random glossy photo and sticker and try just to see what happens.

This could become a sepatate thorough post to help out the community at some point.. but im not wasting money to do so. If the opportunity ever comes up where its cheap enough to try, ill give results. Maybe make a detailed video as well

I assume that it's the acetone that is the active ingredient so pure acetone would be the option.

But, I expect it to be extremely risky.

Personally, I hate those stickers and won't buy them as a general rule.

Just an update... I mailed the Ringo autograph for authentication for this book...

If you think these two companies' opinions are irrelevant, so be it... but just wanted to let everyone know.

PSA/DNA says "questionable authenticity" and Beckett said "Not Genuine"

They got it wrong on this one. Ringo wouldn't scam his fans like that. He used to sign through the mail for free for decades. I got a signed picture from him that way. These books are good!

Do you have the PSA rejection letter?

They didn't send a rejection letter... no explanation given. I took a screenshot from the PSA site.

No one scammed anyone.

An autograph not only has to be authentic, it has to be authenticatable.

Lots of autographs that were signed by the celebrity are not consistent enough with known authentic examples that a third party grader is willing/able to validate it.

The alternative is to mark everything as authentic and then where does that leave us.

As I see it, there are autographs that are definitely authentic, definitely not authentic, and then ones that are somewhere in the middle. That middle group contains good forgeries and bad authentic examples. To maintain the integrity of the authentication process those in the middle are (or should be) rejected.
