I think the set is still somewhat unique looking (even if it were actually a b&w set). Seeing it in person might be different than seeing it in a photo. I believe a collector would see it, and then say, "Hmmm... there's something peculiar about this set," and then likely investigate a little closer... and once they realized what it actually is, they'd do that Fred G. Sanford routine of having "the big one"!
