To Jim: I'm most certainly not bragging, but guilty as charged with some mild complaining! I was only trying to elicit some advice from this pool of knowledge so I can maximize the potential for future listings. This is my first foray into the world of selling vintage material, so I'm learning as I go.
A seal of approval from you all is most appreciated, though. If the consensus is that it was a solid price, then that helps. I obviously had too high an expectation for the program, but only because I thought I was the only one who appreciated the significance of the theme and the rarity of some of those sigs (whether separate or all together).

My initial impression was that the item was not attractive due to the Young singature being splashed across the woman's head. Had I been looking for a Cy Young I'd not have considered this one at the price realized, so I think you did well on the sale.

I think you did fine with the price you got. Remember that EBay is not a place to maximize value, it is to sell quickly. You probably could have gotten more if you consigned it in a live auction.

I was never an autograph collector but I can appreciate that Cy Young signed in a bad place, and made this difficult to display. As such, the price seems decent enough.

Power in Bulk
My experience on eBay ( I have been a seller since 1997) is that you get your best sales average when you list multiple items that are related. These items can be loosely related (i.e. all baseball related or all ticket stubs, etc.) or very specifically related (all Dodgers items). The ability to cross promote from your existing auctions and the ability to change up titles usually gets better views. BUT, the thing about eBay is that some items will still not perform to your expectation, some will exceed your expectations by a very large amount and some will hit the exact mark. When all is said and done, if you average the total, most times you will be in the ball park that you expected.
