I'd assume there would be a premium placed on any one of our hobby founders cards, though this may be a difficult task in determining what it would be.

Perhaps you can find out what Carter's cards have sold for, make a list of say 10-20 cards, then compare them with what the same cards without his provenance (condition and everything) and come up with a percentage that way. Anyway, something like that.

I own one, dont think it would get a premium but its neat to own.

I bought a couple at auction, but they didn't go for a premium over regular priced T-206's.

I have three Lionel Carter cards. I love the E98 Chase because it's in such bad shape. I was happy to see Lionel had cards like this in his collection like me. I don't remember paying a huge premium for them either. Actually, one was a gift from an OBC buddy so no premium there at all!

Mr. Carter had a great eye for nice cards.

I love finding low grade cards that look like that! Great card Leon.

+1 Love low grade cards.
Not a Carter card but he would have immensely liked it. Fair is my new favorite grade. The most it could have ever been bumped numerically is a half a point!!

I seem to remember reading that most of the low condition cards like your E98 Chase were not part of Lionel's main collection, but were duplicates for trading.

Just tell your mind that you got the Chase card as part of a trade for a card he really needed for his collection, and all should be fine in your head space!
