Wizard of Oz
Jersey Jack, 2013It's signed by Keith Johnson and Jersey Jack. I won it on the one ball TOPS tourney at SS Billiards 40th Anniversary Party. I want to hang it in the new gameroom and I really don't want to sell it, but the basement remodel to get the new gameroom is bleeding me dry. If it was worth some ridiculous amount of I might consider selling it to help fund the new gameroom. Just wanted to see what others thought the value was. Thanks.
I can't imagine it's worth more than $50 to $100 over the cost of a translite from JJP. The thing with signatures is they become worth money when the supply is no longer available. Whether that is due to a reclusive celebrity or a dead one. JJP and KJ are neither and they are also only known amongst a small circle of collectors/hobbiests. Keep it in remembrance of your time at SS Billiards...Honestly, I'd pay more for a signed LTG translite than JJP 
I'd say the cost of a new translite (I know they aren't publicly available yet) +/- $10 or so.
Sure, you have something that nobody else has right now. But unless it differs in some way from the final product, that will change soon and everybody who wants one will be able to get one with a phone call and a credit card #. The sigs add no value of significance (with all due respect to JJ and KJ - they aren't exactly famous public figures and I'm sure they will "autograph" anything you ask them to).
Your only hope for a windfall would be if JJP crashes and burns and the machine never gets released. Still cool to have. Hang it up on the wall and enjoy the memories.

Here is a picture of the translite for those who have e-mailed and asked to see one. The wrinkling at the top is where they pulled the protective plastic down to sign the actual translite and then put the protective plastic sheet back up over it again.
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:Man, build a light box behind that thing and hang it up.

That is what will most likely end up doing. It looks pretty slick and will look great in the new gameroom...when it is finished and paid for...

Is JJP going to offer a "Classic" version of WoZ at Costco without the LCD and instead that full translight?
if I won it, I would have gave it to my ex girlfriend who is a WOZ nut. She'd appreciate it more than I would being a pinball fan. 
It won't make you enough to help fund the game room remodel, unless you count pennies. Just keep it, frame it and light it up on the wall. Aka game room memorabilia.
Things like that is what makes it "your game room" you will forever have the story that goes with it. Keep it and display it proudly.

Well LTG signatures are more rare. Only two in existence and they are on a hat brim and rubber ring.
LTG

Looks like the official answer is $129.00, plus whatever someone values the signatures at.

I already decided to keep it. I have a spot picked out for it in the new gameroom.
Quoted from spfxted:Or if you really don't need it, I'll pay the $130
Oh boy looks like these are already going up in the secondary market.

Jack has already said he'll sign them if requested. Not sure if that means just him or what.
