<p>[QUOTE="Tamaracian, post: 7937995, member: 23122"]To show "provenance" to the HA Auction, you can take a photo of the slab with the sticker showing, and also with the cert #, but I would suggest that you remove the sticker as I've found from experience that the longer a sticker has been on the slab the more difficult it is to remove in the future, especially those stickers that have been placed on the reverse that cover the Foil Hologram where removing it frequently damages the foil. <i>If you do have one that has adhesive residue on it, you can remove the residue by using a Q-tip saturated with Orange Oil (D-Limonene) Cleaner and apply the liquid to the adhesive area and <b>gently agitate</b> the Q-tip until the residue softens to the point that you can remove it with another wet Q-tip; after removing the residue use another dry Q-tip to absorb the diluted residue until only a slight film remains, then use a Q-tip or soft cotton cloth wet with warm water to remove the film, and again follow up with a dry cotton cloth. If you follow this procedure you will remove the adhesive residue without leaving scratches on the slab.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
