Does the sticker on that Asteroids marquee say "Seized by the Bank of Montreal"?

What's and good price for marquees? Or what are you willing to pay in general? I sold a beat and worn Zoo Keeper years ago and always wanted to find another. With repro translights selling on ebay for $20US it's hard to take offers at $5 a marquee for originals. We'd buy them all day long at $5 each but that's not a common reality now a days. I'm pushing my collection to about 150 original marquees and try to find new ones for $10-20 from time to time so sadly I lost out on this Zoo Keeper marquee last night at $140+US.

I don't think I could ever pay $140 for a marquee....
If you can find the vector file or scan file, you can almost always get them screened to plexi in Canada for less than $50.

Just picked up some vinyl prints today. The blue is the plex for mounting (front), the bottom print is my new cpo for the hs-5. Pleased with how they turned out.
