I won’t get into specifics (why or how) but removing a CAC sticker without any residual evidence is quite easy.
I have to be really careful when I clean off dealer sticker goo with the alcohol based Purell that I have left over from COVID and takes sticky stuff off really well. Also nice it is viscous so it is not all over the place like alcohol.

If the coin had a permanent red CAC sticker on the holder, that kinda kills the coin. Meaning that the owner needs to crack and reholder the coin if they want to sell it for PQ money.
Again, how would that differ from detail-grade labels already being used? Both the labels and red stickers would reflect negatively on the coin, with many sellers being inclined to crack the coin out.
Mark, it would likely be welcomed by several large sellers on EBay who crack out details coins anyway and the scarlet letter would probably really kill the price for them to scoop up and crack away, they list with a little photoshopping and boom: raw BU beauties.

Maybe I’m dense, as I don’t see why such stickers would cause sellers to discount coins below what they’d already price them at as detail-grade pieces.

Got it - thank you. The thread was an attempt at humor, using a hypothetical that would never happen in the real world.😉

Now that CAC is slabbing coins, I'd love to see PCGS start stickering coins. If PCGS feels your NGC or CACG slabbed coin is solid for the grade, they would sticker it and it would then be eligible to be included in the PCGS registry. The start-up costs would be negligible, and it would provide PCGS with a new revenue stream and it would provide the collector with the added reassurance that their NGC or CACC slabbed coin is solid for the grade.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I like this but PCGS is already so backed up with submissions that it would take months to get stickered coins back.
If you dont mind that they sure go for it.

Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC) is a Far Hills, New Jersey third-party coin certification company started in 2007 by coin dealer John Albanese.

Wow this did get weird.

I've seen red stickers from JA, except they are round and have PVC written with a pen.
That is the most that he would consider in red.
If I might add to the madness.....................

There is a crossover revenue stream that would likely be negatively impacted if a sticker service is pursued.
