I don't know that answer, probably a few but not a lot. I have always felt when there is provenance to our collectibles, even cards, it makes them more desirable.
I was the 2nd "family" to have owned this Arrelanes and Melchoir, sold them in my first collection, then got them back in the BST section
. No value add, but still kind of cool to know where they originated...
Same exact thing with the Weaver, but I soaked him because when I got him the first time (Trucker Boy find) he had a big blob of scrapbook paper stuck to the back.
