That is a rather subjective and relative question. It depends on what the stamp looks like and where it is. How distracting is it?

As for provenance and paying for it, as mentioned I would pay a little more for some items, not all.

That said, and I like it, but the premium is sometimes overshadowed by the card.

I guess maybe the better (at least from an objective standpoint) question would be how it would grade? Let's take, for example, the typical purple name backstamp on an otherwise T206 that would grade a 5. Does it differ per grading company?

Great card Leon. Here's another Lionel Carter card. I'm sure he had plenty of T206's to choose from and picked this one. I'm honestly not sure why it's only an SGC40.

Nice Marquard. I think it didn't get a higher grade because Rube didn't want to smile while they were making your card.

Brian (smiles get instant grade bumps from me)

I believe that there should be a premium. Knowing the pedigree of a card and that it hasn’t been altered should add value.

I've had quite a few Lionel Carter's that were altered like this E90 Demmitt.
He was an avid collector & would get a "filler" for his set & try to upgrade it later

OK, I admit I added the personalization on the flip, but it really was from Leon's collection! And now it's mine!!!
