Does one prong missing hurt the value of a game?

I've got to settle this once and for all, all my opened red label games are missing a prong, but they all work. Does this hurt the value of them? I don't plan on selling them, just interested, and "Xenophobe" is still my absolute favorite game.

Only at the very top-end of the collecting "food chain." At this point, any little bit of damage ultimately hurts the final "value" of a cart.

 

In my opinion, hell, they work -- if the labels aren't totally shredded, a mid-range collector most likely won't have any reservations unless you're asking the high end of a price range for a game.

That's the way I figure it, but wanted to get an opinion from someone who knows better than me. Thanks for the info, Twit.
