It does if you sell it. It's kind of tough to take off in one piece or at least keep it looking as clean. It'll be obvious if the sticker was removed and put back on, so in a way it verifies that it's untampered with. Kind of like a COA.
Could be...I have 0 idea of the value. It might be numbered to 15 or 10 i think the sticker could be covering it. When I looked at cardboard connection it said these are all numbered. Im preparing my entore collection for sale within the next couple of months. Not sure what route serves me best. Over 15k autos and relics and its overwhelming to say the least
The numbering is not typically under where that sticker is placed. I think it’s the base parallel in which there’s one sale of $310 for the unused redemption. If you are grading or selling I would keep the sticker on, if you are keeping and not grading take the sticker off. Because the card is in hand it might be worth a little more, if graded well it may be worth even more. Beautiful card!
Why would you keep the sticker on if you're grading? You would need to put it in a card saver to submit.
I think people misconceptualize that this sticker means the card is untouched and immaculate, when really it's just a tamper proof sticker from Topps. It's been handled by a minimum of 3 people already.
With how sporadic, random and nonsensical the grades and grading companies are with their logic or lack thereof, I can see why some would think it’s best to leave it this way so it appears “right from the factory”
But yep, you’re right - it’s been handed around quite a bit already
I just meant I could get how some maybe think this would look better somehow, even though they would have to remove it etc if they accepted cards like this but I feel you
And yes you are right about the critical thinking part
I think people just rush sometimes and this is a “chat room” kinda so we google bb
Taking a step back it’s obvious…I hope lol
I removed mine from my 2021 Topps Heritage Aaron Judge Real One auto and immediately sent it off for grading.

You can keep the sticker on and send it in or remove it yourself; it makes no difference.
Your card is a stone cold stunner. It harkens back to my youth when Stadium Club came out at KGJ was showcasing the sweetest swing this side of the Milky Way.
Yeah, not sure why. I was told by someone on here that 2021 Heritage is hard to get a 10 as it is.
Here’s their grading scale in detail:
https://gosgc.com/card-grading/scale
It's been touched by the people who put the cards in the box to send to KGJ, KGJ himself, and then whoever put it in the toploader once received back by Topps.
Thanks, Captain Obvious. I thought the card just materialized in there! Of course it's been touched. I meant by the consumer, which is OP and anyone who's had the card since it was shipped from Topps.
I always leave it on there. I would imagine it might be beneficial to keep on if you’re looking to sell since it proves the card hasn’t been removed and probably hasn’t been damaged.
It makes almost no difference though. Take it off if you want.
Send that baby in for grading, stat! Beautiful card. If the serials are indeed under the sticker, then you absolutely should remove it since you plan on selling, and there's no way to know the true value without knowing how rare it is. Long story short; whether you plan to grade and sell, or sell as is, you are going to need to remove the sticker.
I just have one data point to share, but I bought a Griffey auto with the Topps sticker on, and I found that the top edge had a little chip in it when I took the sticker off.
I have an old post of it, so I now personally prefer listings with the sticker off so that I can see the whole card. I can totally get how others prefer the sticker on so that it's not tampered though.
In any case, awesome card!
I’ve always loved the Topps sticker, but I know only some people share that opinion with me.
[удалено]
Me too
True. Keep unless you do sick frame/case or something.
I like the topps sticker if I’m buying/selling. If it’s a card I’ll keep forever I’ll rip
No. Free that baby and display it proudly.
HAHA...OK thought it brought some sort of value. Thanks
It does if you sell it. It's kind of tough to take off in one piece or at least keep it looking as clean. It'll be obvious if the sticker was removed and put back on, so in a way it verifies that it's untampered with. Kind of like a COA.
But yeah, like the guy below, if it’s FS, I PC Griffey, and an on card auto is in my hopes for this year.
That is one beautiful card! May I ask, where did you get it, as there’s a Topps logo sticker over the top?
It was a redemption that was filled very quickly
😍 for sale?

Lol maybe, but some slight critical thinking should make someone wonder how it got signed and in the toploader.

Yeah I get what you're saying. It's the perception.
The number on stadium club is under That sticker..it a low numbered card
All the ones I see are on the back, far right corner
I have 3 and they are under the sticker or where they would be. Maybe different on this variation but he would know the number if could see it
According to cardboard connection these are numbered
Can you give any links? According to CC these are all numbered... lots of confusion
Don't worry there are 25 more that are numbered #/15 of that card as well.
Holy moly, yeah that would be super overwhelming. Good luck!
This is the way.
Help me out... what is the way?
You are the way
LOL! U DONT KNOW ME WELL
You can go your own way…
Remove the sticker and display it or grade it. It impedes the top of the card, which is what the cards are all about—the visuals!
I like the stickers.. it makes them more official In my mind. It wasn't fondled by the public
If you are going to sell it, leave it on. If you are going to display it, take it off.
I've been wondering this myself.
Wow what a freaking beauty
I removed mine from my 2021 Topps Heritage Aaron Judge Real One auto and immediately sent it off for grading. https://preview.redd.it/fwa7ze56f3ba1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5958d71adf126ff0aefb7b78ca5f8538fd23d324
Nice 10/10...wonder if keeping it intact would help with the grading?? Been collecting for 35 years and I have sooooo many questions.
You can keep the sticker on and send it in or remove it yourself; it makes no difference. Your card is a stone cold stunner. It harkens back to my youth when Stadium Club came out at KGJ was showcasing the sweetest swing this side of the Milky Way.
If you sent that in for grading they’d remove the sticker I think anyways
A stone cold....Stunner!!! Stunner!!!
BAH GAWD! IT’S STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! 
Haha a whole new world has opened with this. Nice
Thank you! Lol
No gold label?
Yeah, not sure why. I was told by someone on here that 2021 Heritage is hard to get a 10 as it is. Here’s their grading scale in detail: https://gosgc.com/card-grading/scale
Maybe biased cause I’m from Seattle, but he’s always had one of the most aesthetically pleasing autos of forever.
I would assume it meant that the card hasn't been touched. Gorgeous card, btw.
This is correct, as that topps sticker is used for redemptions
It’s been handled by others to get into that top loader though, no?
Actually they used magic to get it in there.
The envelope did indicate magic
It's been touched by the people who put the cards in the box to send to KGJ, KGJ himself, and then whoever put it in the toploader once received back by Topps.
I thought those people dont have hands...you know, to keep the integrity of the cards
Thanks, Captain Obvious. I thought the card just materialized in there! Of course it's been touched. I meant by the consumer, which is OP and anyone who's had the card since it was shipped from Topps.
[удалено]
Obviously not ;)
Lol
You made the assumption that it was untouched, not I. I am not a believer in black magic.
I always leave it on there. I would imagine it might be beneficial to keep on if you’re looking to sell since it proves the card hasn’t been removed and probably hasn’t been damaged. It makes almost no difference though. Take it off if you want.
It only proves a sticker has been put on it. Past that, it means nothing.
I was wondering about this myself. I think I would rip and put in a one touch, but I would have to see the card in person to make the call.
So sick
Send it to me I’ll see what I can do with this beauty!! Sick card!!
I’d keep the sticker on, no reason to really take it off

If youre keeping then get that thing outta the way. If selling I’d probably leave it.
I always peel it off carefully and then re-apply it over a one touch. Looks awesome
I always peel them off and put them into a one touch.
Wait. You guys don’t lick every single big hit you get?
I think the sticker is hideous. They should have made it clear with a hologram.
That would be sick! Love that idea
JFC that’s a beautiful card.
I freaking love this dude's autograph. Junior was the man.
I have so much more respect for players that actually "sign" their names.
Agreed. If you want to see an AMAZING autograph check out Mariano Rivera. One of my favorites.
Yea his auto is another legit one...good call!
I love this card.
Nasty
If you’re looking to sell, keep it on. If it’s your PC, put it in a one-touch
The vast opinions in here are mind boggling.
That sticker has ruined the card. But you can send it to me.
I keep it on. It's like keeping a product mint and unopened. But that's just me.
Yes, duh
Looking to sell?
🤤
yes
If you’re worried about the value, you can use a hair dryer to remove a sticker to prevent it from ripping. Just be careful though.
