I think it depends. Things purportedly owned by F Scott Fitzgerald bring a premium. Cards with Jefferson Burdick stamps also bring premiums, but he was arguably the most important collector and cards from his collection are difficult to find because he donated his collection to the Met so only stuff that he traded/sold (and stamped before the transaction) during his lifetime is out there. I think Charlie Sheen's cards might also bring a little bit of a premium. I don't know that I have seen cards from any other collector's collection go for anything more than they would as a regular old card.
