That is a really nice one- I think it is actually J.G. Cooley. I feel like I remember a font going for more than $3k a few years ago, but eBay doesn’t archive listings back that far.

I wonder what that banner font the same seller has listed will go for.

I’m assuming at least $1,000. Too rich for my blood, as they say.
The Cooley font is gorgeous. I sure hope the buyer doesn’t now attempt to sell it off letter by letter…
