In terms of degrading a stamp, I know of no studies which outline a virus ability to degrade paper. Molds and bacteria certainly can degrade paper, but I have never seen anything about a virus impacting paper.
Now if you collect primates as a topic, will not say the same about monkeypox as weeping blisters could affect stamp quality, especially the no hinged ones.
