So if they meet all other performance requirements but they get a stamping on them that says "PRACTICE" and that makes them illegal for tournament play? Just because there is a cosmetic blemish?
What if the marking said "blemish" instead?

I think that all really depends on the organization running the tournament. At my club I'm not sure anyone cares what you play with.

According to Titleist - and BagMan's link above - they are legal for tournament play:

Q. What is the status of "X-out," "refurbished" and "practice" balls?
A. "X-out" is the common name used for a golf ball that a manufacturer considers to be imperfect (usually for aesthetic reasons only, e.g., paint or printing errors) and, therefore, has crossed out the brand name. A "refurbished" golf ball is a second-hand ball that has been cleaned and stamped as "refurbished."
In the absence of strong evidence to suggest that an "X-out" or "refurbished" ball does not conform to the Rules, it is permissible for such a ball to be used. However, in a competition where the Committee has adopted the condition that the ball the player plays must be named on the List of Conforming Golf Balls (see Note to Rule 5-1), such a ball may not be used, even if the ball in question (without the X's or without the "refurbished" stamp) does appear on the List.
In most cases, "practice" balls are simply listed, conforming golf balls that have been stamped "Practice," in the same way that golf balls often feature a club or company logo. Such balls may be used even where the Committee has adopted the condition that the ball the player plays must be named on the List of Conforming Golf Balls.
