I actually find examples with unobtrusive caramel staining more desirable than unblemished copies. To me, it's sort of like a badge of honor for the card, in that you can imagine someone pulling it from that CJ box a century ago. Just adds a certain charm and character to a specimen. So perhaps I'm nuts, but I'd bid higher on one with some well-placed stains. Be interesting to see where others shake out on this.
