British Newstand Price Stamp on FM Mags

I am an American collector with a high grade collection of FMs (##3-14) that were sold in the U.K. and have the obligatory British price stamped in a small circle on the cover of each issue.

I plan to eventually get these mags CGC slabbed and rated. How does CGC view the British newsstand price stamp when judging magazine condition? Based on what you know, are mags with this price stamp viewed positively (as rarities) or negatively by collectors? It would seem to me that these are much rarer than the FMs that were not sent to the U.K.

Thanks!
