What the heck is it with those HUGE Heritage auction lot stickers that they put on the back of the PCGS and NGC slabs?????????

They are so big they cover the entire top half of the slab and if I am not extremely careful removing the sticker, they can remove the hologram from the back of the slab!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't Heritage make their stickers smaller?

    Anyone know how HA identifies their other collectibles, like fine art, gemstones, etc? Maybe there is an easy "in house" alternative if they look for it.

    Put a little Goo Gone on the sticker and let it soak for a few minutes to soften the glue. Should come off without removing the hologram.

    I have never had a problem with them. I just make sure to remove them the day I get them.
  • On the ones I've received, they came right off and didn't affect the hologram at all.

    can't you buy replacement hologram stickers off of ebay yet?

    I have never had a problem removing one and I haven't lost a hologram yet.

    Some of the full width holograms on the early NGC slabs came off really easy but most holograms on other slabs are well attached.
