Yes, the stamp exists. It is a small mark which uses a very small amount of ink and does not take any more time to produce than a normal card.
Yes, the stamp's existence distinguishes the card from unlimited cards. That's the point.
Yes, the stamp's inclusion increases the aftermarket value of the card. But this is because people agree that that stamp holds value.
I am telling you that the stamp only holds value because it is different, and different in a way so small and unimportant that it is silly that FEs get as much more as they do than an unlimited card, because -
No. A card printed in a first run has no intrinsic value over a card printed in a second run or a 100th run, as long as all runs are identical.
No one would care about first run cards if the stamp was not there. You agree with this. Therefore you acknowledge that the FE stamp does not commemorate any meaningful difference between cards. It exists solely to increase the value attributed to the card - not inherent to the card - so that it will drive up sales for an infinitesimally negligible change in manufacturing cost.
