$175,000?!
Ten years ago the whole of ATF (constituting way way more than
this collection) went for $78,000 total (it was auctoned piecemeal).

Yeah, and Mouldtype (UK) was purchased, a couple of years ago, for probably less than half of the ATF receipts. The ATF auction was a disaster, and well documented. None of the institutions (the curators leave work at 5:30, everyday) that should have come to its rescue, bothered with it, though they were among the first to publish about its loss.

This, however, does not devalue the pricing of this particular foundry.
