In general, B&W issues get very little love. R312s are cool, but have that "mortician makeup" kind of thing going on....not for everyone.

I See It Now!!
They do have that look....creepy. But to the OP'S point the Rs were fun to collect and readily available 20-30 years ago. Dealers offered them up frequently in SCD....when it was relevant and fun to get in the mailbox.

I have several pastels, including Joe D, and I have the R314 DiMaggio-McCarthy. I like the pastels in particular.
But I believe the reason these don't get great respect is due to the photo-paper stock. While they are designated as cards, they're not cards as in cardboard. That's the reason that I don't value them as highly. |

From the last collection. The R312s (color) are a great value with respect to other issues...

Regardless of the character of the stock, I have always liked them for their generally high quality photographic images (thus capturing quite well a two-dimensional slice of a three-dimensional moment in the players' lives and careers). The lighter stock issues are prone to "flex bends" which causes them to be graded rather harshly by the TPG's IMHO.
