David Bowie signed ISOLAR cards. Good example of his signature?

This is a pretty general question. Over the past year I have seen a ton of these ISOLAR signed David Bowie "thank you" cards. Are these good examples of Bowies signature? They mostly are sold at $250 with Record Mecca selling most of them all with Epperson loa.

My question really is, is $250 a good value with the example of the signature on these cards? Also it obviously isn't as rare as a 1:1 piece...However are you better off findimg a different example or is this a good deal at $250?

Well, they have sold about 70 by now?

One one hand about 1/3 I have seen are "complete" as this is - having both apostrophes for date and "i" dot. On the other hand a good number of these are rushed and/or uncomfortable. Not all have great placement - some go off into the "Compliments". Some are just odd. I recall about 4 or 5 I really liked. The ISOLAR card is rare/scarce. $250...that includes Epperson papers that are perhaps $50 alone. It is a good value cost wise - great value. Bowie is tough to get as you now. This is a decent typical example and full - not unattractive as some.  With patience you can do better - if you do the authentication.

You answered my question exactly Eric. I however should say I meant better off buying a 1:1 other item that Bowie signed (I didn't mean it to sound as I were talking about the cards) more like would it be better off buying another item that Bowie signed (long term value wise) as even as you said $250 is a great buying price for an authentic Bowie that comes with a Roger LOA, there has to be over a hundred of these cards signed and on and off the market constantly.

You basically already answered ny question, I am not buying a Bowie anytime soon as there is something completely different I am purchasing, but just wanted to hear what the opinion was on these cards in case I do decide to buy one in the future . Thank you.

Of course we all don't know Bowie as good as Eric to be confident enough to make that great steal! I think the card matted with a great pic is a good value. Ive been thinking about picking one up myself. I'm really curious now about what Adam is after!

All in good time Ian! I already made the purchase and it is the most expensive purchase I have personally made (which still isn't a whole lot in the grand scheme), but I am anxious about it! Haha, when I get it I will make a blog post on it however! I am excited!:)

Very good! Gotta see it!

Perhaps unpopular, but this was one of my favorites - complete, all flourishes, good placement and not light ink as many, esp those rapidly signed. Click for full image:
