As a person with a similar dilemma (lasting nine years with a long hiatus in the meantime), I have been working on a 1953 Topps set in which there are a number of signed cards in the collection.

I would not add the signatures to the set as it will add nothing in the long run, $$$$ wise. You would be better off taking that $150 and upgrading those singles or use it to complete the set.

My take is that it's my set and my joy and I don't look down the road to sell. I have been shocked at what I could pick up on eBay as far as signed cards and when I have even been able to pick up a couple of signed 1953 cards for around $2-3. My last purchase to the set was in January...$8 for a signed Monte Irvin 1953 (VG-...blue sharpie).

Good luck and enjoy!
