I agree wholeheartedly with Ari.
A lot more than $25.
The stadium was in 75% of the books. Florida background is the rarer card.*
That should fetch a premium. I have no idea how much.
Also, a completist should own both.

There is, as one is more rare. I'll try and do some quick research.
Per Brian Freeman-
"Many collectors already know that Stephen King autographed his first-ever baseball cards as his way of signing these special editions, which I thought was very cool, but what no one outside a small group knew until now is that there were actually two different baseball cards created for King. Here’s how this unique and unusual collectible item came to be:
After running the baseball card idea by King, who loved it, we hired a local shop to custom-make a uniform and baseball cap for the fictional New Jersey Titans. These items were shipped down to King in Florida and we waited to see what happened. A few weeks later, the results of a photo shoot arrived.
We narrowed the photos down to one image and Kate Freeman Design went to work, creating two versions of the card. The first version used the original photo of King exactly as it was taken. The second version used the same photo of King, only he was photoshopped into a stock photo of Wrigley field. (We didn’t want to use a photo of Fenway because that seemed a little clichéd given King’s well-known affinity for the team, but we did want something that evoked an earlier era of baseball.)
Here are the two versions of the card before Kate finished aging them a bit":
This photo shows the card with the original Florida background:
This shows the altered photo with Wrigley Field in the background:
This card thing is one thing I could care less about. I have NO idea what one I have. Is anyone out there in possession of both... just to have both?

What's the general concensus rate for DT II S/N >500 in fine condition? Just wondering where I ended up.
I'm not in the market to hunt for matching numbers, but to slowly compliment my as-new 1st and artist editions with S/L's. I'll have to take out a second mortgage to get Gunslinger, though.
Current value of PSP Colorado Kid S/L matched set?
I presume you mean the 1/150 editions signed by King, Ardai, and the respective artist. Quite a bit. Hard to accurately estimate, so take my guestimate with a grain of salt, and see what others say. $1,900-$2,000
$450 added because of matching numbers.
Personally, I'd love to have the other signed card to display, without another book. That hearkens back to my days of non-sports card collecting, in which I still dabble a bit.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
