You know I really don't think all that much. A lot of people did that and its pretty easy to remove it without much damage. Just leaves a couple tiny holes that actually almost disappear if you push the paper in the holes. If the staple got wet and caused a rust stain that may effect it. Its more or less about eye appeal especially with older stubs. creases effect the price more than staple holes. Personally I pretty much overlook staple holes. Now modern tickets are in abundance so people may be more picky about condition because you can be. But old stubs from specific games are just not that easy to find. PSA hasn't really got a good foothold with them like cards. You rarely hear a collector ask "what grade is it" when discussing and old stub.
