It's pretty much the same for stamps, although it depends on the collection. FDR was a big collector, but had mostly cheap stuff. His collection was auctioned off almost as souvenirs. I have a couple Christmas seals he had that were just randomly in a collection I bought.
For expensive stuff that provenance is often a plus.
