I have 2 different Atari VCS models and want to know which to hack up. ^^ So which should I save? The four switch with all the stickers on the bottom, or the 6 switch with no stickers on the bottom?

hmm... hard, although the 4 switch is easier to reduce in size, I'd rather risk wrecking a 6 switch rather than a 4 switch.

Does that mean that the 4 switch is more collectible than the 6 switch, or is there a different reason?

4 switch is the most common, and it is much easier to portablize. If you have a heavy 6er (AKA Big Sexy) that is the most collectable, by far.

Could someone please post some photos or direct me to a link of a 4 switch and a 6 switch. I don't know the difference and I would like to know what to look for.
Yes I know one has 4 switches and the other has 6. but what do they look like.

They look exactly the same except for the difficulty switches in front are moved to the back. I'll get some pictures later for you.

Ok I know what you are talking about. The Atari I grew up with had the A,B or difficulty switches in the back. So does that mean that I had a 4 switch system?
