I'm just curious if anybody knows what a signed copy of Blackjack Attack is worth.

Actually, I have no idea, but you have to distinguish two varieties. When the third edition was published, we first came out with a hard cover, before issuing the soft cover. I signed 500 numbered copies for RGE. To me, if they have any value, those would be worth more other non-numbered, signed copies of either the hard cover or the soft cover. I'm no expert in these matters, but I'm told that the lower numbers should be worth more than the higher numbers.
I signed several dozen soft covers for two different parties that were held, one in Las Vegas and one in A.C. And, more recently, I signed copies at the Museum of Mathematics after the two talks I gave there and for several friends and colleagues of Max Rubin, at the Barona Casino in San Diego. All told, my guess is that I've signed about 650-675 copies, give or take a few.
