A case in mind is the Big Six Boxed Game. All because it was owned by Mark means it should cost more?
Over the years I sold Mark a couple of games at shows in the Philly area and I don’t remember ever thinking, “Here comes Mark, I should charge more for this game”
Just a though but find it interesting that someone would do so because a certain collector once owned it

You're assumption of where the premium comes from is off.
Some "famous" (for lack of a better word) collectors are known to have high quality items with solid providence and are usually one or two owner pieces. You pay the premium for that.
