Bob, I would say that being on a FDC MIGHT reduce value a little but not much. While not a 'pure' case of being postally used, if it actually went thru the mail it would be about as close to being postally used as possible, IMHO.
It depends on the cancellation. The cancellations on most modern FDCs are clearly not the same as regular postal cancellations. Given a choice, I'd take the postally used stamps over those from an FDC. In fact, I probably wouldn't buy the ones from an FDC, which means they are indeed worth almost nothing to me. But I pay little attention to catalogue values, which are mostly meaningless.
By the same token ,a FDC could have gone through the mail system.I have a lot of FDC's sent from all corners of the globe to a gentleman in NSW all have been through the mail system some are even registered.
