Matt,
I very briefly discuss the H seal at the bottom of one of my web pages, and show a detail of it on another.
The valuation of prints with H seals probably suffers slightly in comparison to those with the standard cartouche seals, but most dealers I've talked to usually accept the H-seal prints as lifetime impressions and so they do fare reasonably well in the market place when compared to the numerous posthumous impressions. I have compared the H-seal example on my website with another impression bearing a standard cartouche and I could find no difference between the quality of printing or the papers.
