Interesting... didn't think these go for that much ($1K?!)... but also, while I am not a Noveske expert, the one in the EE looks a bit unusual. The font on the lower doesn't look like anything I've seen Noveske use.

Here's a close-up of mine:

And the temples of his Gods."

Well yes, that's the case with ANYTHING.

But I'm asking what they "go for"... meaning, in the current market, what people generally pay for them. Not what sellers list them for, but what people are paying for them.

I'm happy with it.

Interesting. I've never seen that font on a Noveske.
