Donkey Kong "1981 Nintendo" Marquee on Ebay (not mine)

I am about to restore a DK and I have been looking around for parts. I did see that as well....but I think, and other could tell you better but I think that is on the high side.
 
Considering Mikesarcade.com has them for 45.00 and Arcadeshop.com is asking 40.00, I think it's not too bad. I bought mine from a seller on Ebay that had about 30 repro's for 19.99 each. Looks like he's either sold out or not listing them at the moment.
 
The reason I pointed it out is because of the copyright info under the Nintendo symbol. The early marqees had no copyright info whatsoever. There was, apparently, a small amount of time when they produced marqees that said "1981 Nintendo". After that they say "1981 Nintendo of America." The vast majority are the "1981 Nintendo of America" marqees. The repros say that too.

Anywho, I've heard a couple people looking for the "1981 Nintendo" marquee so I posted the link. I'm not sure on the price/value for something like this because of the rarity factor. It could be a steal, a robbery, or somewhere in between.
