I'm not sure that even a major scandal would have an effect, because there is too much money at stake. Plus, in our post-truth world, if a label says it's NR MT, and I say it's NR MT, then we all will accept the fact that it's NR MT. People with millions of dollars invested in cards will call a scandal fake news and simply ignore it.

I recognize I might be old school, but it still blows my mind to see blatantly altered high grade condition rarities sell for crazy prices.

Is it possible that this new generation of collectors/investors might care if they really understood what is going on?
People seem far more interested in excess shipping charges than card alteration.

With regard to the OP, there are some collectors who think it is more fun to own a card that a famous person or a hobby pioneer once owned. Whether it translates into a premium remains to be seen. I know that I would definitely ask a premium for my Burdick-stamped E80 Jack Johnson card.

It also might be fun to create my own 'brand' for my cards. If the TPGs allowed that I might go for it. Sure as hell would be one way to show whose collection they are from.

With respect to the original topic I certainly place no additional value on provenance on the label. I would pay, and have paid, a premium for a nice example of a card but would not pay a premium because it happened to be owned by someone.
