Did I get a good deal on this Schoolboy Roe signed baseball?

Anyone?

The last confirmed sale of a ball like this is $384.00. That would be the current market value.

Seems high to me for a common player's signature with personalization on a rough conditioned ball even though Rowe died early and was on a lot of popular Tigers teams. You were also bidding against one other person in a correctly listed auction so the interest doesn't seem to be there from a resale perspective.

Rowe sells on album pages for around $50-$75.00, GPC's $75.00-$100. A signed 8x10 might fetch $150.00-$200.00. He was a popular player , died young I'd say you did well at what you paid. I've never seen him on a single signed ball

Thank you Jim for your expert opinion. Always appreciate your input.

I would also think that it being a gameused ball and a homerun ball would increase the value, would it not? Kind of makes it a historical artifact.
