I've never cared too much about condition as long as it doesn't look like a chew toy; in fact, I've picked up hundreds of items that would have cost me 10x more than I paid merely because they weren't minty. However, I was always more concerned with seeing the content that the intrinsic value.

I have an aversion to anything that detracts from the original product, so this bothers me.

That being said, if it's something I need in my collection, and the price is right, I'd purchase it, just to have one.  I'd then keep my eye out for one in better condition.

BTW, those look like really nice copies.  Not sure if you could find them in much better condition.

Were they NM condition I would agree.
I am not convinced their value would be affected much by the ink, given their present condition.
