They attached the figural Trophy Top to the base, and created a one-of-a-kind piece. So the value indeed lies primarily within the autograph, and not so much with the figural portion.

Still a neat (and truly unique) display piece

Save for the number and the cap and shirt logos, which really are quite amateur, it really is a masterful paint job, very 60's Japanese'esque. Cool piece.

Thanks everyone for the help. I have placed it on the bay for sale. Now we'll see what he's worth! Thanks again.
