Quick DiMaggio pricing help needed

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

I would price it at around $300-$400

Thanks Stephen. Anyone else think that sounds about right?

Not worth more than 150 you can not see all of the signature.

Shelly,

I have a question.... Why do you value this so low?

an unsigned Berk Ross goes for more than 150 usually.

Just trying to learn here.

I won't put words in Shelly's mouth, but I believe he is referring to the poor contrast on the dark background. A significant portion of the autograph has poor contrast.

From a card purist perspective, the card is ruined. From an autograph perspective, it is subpar quality due to contrast issues.

What Steve said, and I'll also add that the only way (in my mind) that you'd get more is from a segment of the hobby that collects this set signed.
With that said, I think it's a poor set to collect signed due to the contrast of the card vs the autograph so I'm guessing not many would be collecting them signed. Just my .02

Thank you Steve. You put the right words in my mouth.

Thanks to everyone for the very helpful feedback. I ended up buying the card at a price between Shelly's estimate and Stephen's estimate. I do understand the downsides of the card and the limitations on resale, but I still thought the card was neat and unusual. Your feedback did help me negotiate the price down pretty substantially, so thanks again!
