Agreed. The only stamp that I find concerning in terms of potential fraud due to opportunity for increased value is the stamp that purportedly belonged to F. Scott Fitzgerald. And of course, the "Old Put" stamp...
That said, I do find the random stamps (i.e. carriage, castle, names, etc..) pretty cool. It would be quite a downer to find out that they were put on long after the cards were issued as that is the main allure of them to me (and granted, I'm not a high end condition collector).

Desiderata
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
