Definitely a premium, if you have a buyer who knows about Mr. Carter.
Some folks know not who he was, a few care not. But generally, his cards sell for a bit more. Some folks seek just one of his cards, so some potential buyers are gone once they have one of his cards.
I have one. I was more interested in getting a first one, than I would be a second one.
He and I corresponded a bit. I have a white border tobacco card he signed on the back. He was a very nice gentleman. An interesting fellow, who knew about more than old ballcards.
