[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 4585206, member: 13307"]Honestly, I feel like it would only be sketchy if they had printed a new label to cover the entire original obverse label (EDIT: or tried to change information like the grade or serial number.) If they're just adding an unattributed variety (say, one that PCGS does not attribute at this time) then as a seller you'd want your buyers to see that it's there to justify a potential bump in price or find your potential buyer (plus, you'd want to remember it's there or risk forgetting.) If they're trying to pass the slab off as already attributed, that's an issue. But if they're just adding their own notes (in whatever form, either a sticker or an extra label that doesn't cover the original) I don't see it being at all dishonest. Example: I believe the Ike Group applies "DIVa" little red stickers for Designated Ike Variety Attribution, especially for coins where either the variety isn't attributed already or it's not currently recognized by the major TPG.
