Do PCGS sell hologram stickers to replace worn ones ?

Any way to buy replacement holograms for different generation PCGS holders ?
I'm bummed to see worn and scratched back hologram stickers.
Why do people scratch them like lottery tickets ?
Or is it possible to use cheap donor slabs so I could remove just hologram sticker and use it to fix my slab ?
Anyone done the hologram sticker swap fix ?
Is this possible or is hologram tamperproof ?

Send it in for a reslab seems the best option?

I’m not so sure that pcgs is gunna hand out stickers because of counterfeiting and such. Not to mention there’s a half dozen or so different designs. 😀
If they do I’ve got some stickers with what is certainly a mistake in the grading and would like a new one with a better grade 😂
By the way my kitties highly approve of your avatar 🙀😸😻

Isn't he whole purpose of the hologram to marry it to the slab as a seal of authenticity? If legit holograms were floating around, that would make it that much easier to create counterfeits. As @spyglassdesign suggests, if a worn hologram is stressing you out, it seems like a reholder is your only option.
Collectors and dealers don't "scratch them like lottery tickets". Other stickers were placed on top of the holograms and later removal caused damaged.
Auction houses were partly to blame, years ago. Today they use friendlier stickers that peel away nicely.
Replacement holograms don't exist, for good reason. Have the coins reholdered. Or learn to live with it.

Submit for reholder or sell the coin if you cannot tolerate the damage. Cheers, RickO
