Technically it is an "altered" piece, and that could drive some "purists" away. But few would argue that the alteration represents a tremendous and beautiful enhancement to the original composite. It is far more attractive than the B&W version, and is as much a work of art as it is memorabilia.
So I think the price could land just about anywhere. Early Athletics collectors are passionate, and always tend to open their wallets. It currently sits at $1,900 (as I am writing this) but I am estimating it will end up in the high $3,000s (perhaps around $4K with the juice). That's just a guess though... if just two people really want it, you never know where it will land!
How about that 1916 Red Sox Pennant? The seller did well to take it off ebay, and squeeze it into REA. The tip is a bit ragged, but it's otherwise quite nice. Anyone rendering a guess as to the final price?

Mark---I am going to guess $7000 before the juice on the 1916 Pennant---I sold the 1915 Scarce Red Sox Pennant to David Hunt---it went $8000 in his auction---I would say this 1916 is more scarce, but the tip scares me ---time will tell---Don
