how much for this pearl kit?

From infiniteninjas

Presidents were not strictly standardized. I owned a pink lemonade sparkle President stencil kit, phenolic with coffin lugs (Pearl called these "President Lugs" in their catalogs), with 6 lugs on all three toms and no badges ever. I currently own a red oyster pearl kit that is luan but matches the configuration of the President kit exactly from the catalog of the year they released the President kit. I call it a proto-President. I've seen other anomalies as well on President kits too.Those lugs on the kick drum here aren't Slingerland copies, btw. They have a thin ridge on top, Slingerland lugs and copies have a much wider ridge.Here are photos of three President kits I've owned. The blue one is the only one that matched Pearl's official description of the kit.

That pink lemonade sparkle President stencil kit w\ phenolic shells made my GAS freak out!!!

1964 Ludwig Champagne Super Classic
1970 Ludwig Blue Oyster Super Classic
1977 Rogers Big R Londoner 5 ebony
1972/1978 Rogers Powertone/Big R mix ebony
60's Ludwig Supersensitive
Pearl B4514 COB snare ( the SC snare)
Pearl Firecracker
PJL WMP maple snare

Thse tom and bass lugs look like modern Pearl to me, like the Rhythm Traveler lug, but the mounting screws are period so I guess they are just a new sighting to me.

My set actually has different badges, saying simply "PEARL" in a mod font with "JAPAN" beneath in small block letters. Pearl authorities have no record or explanation of this badge. I have seen a handful of other drums online with this badge and my set is actually comprised of two different, separately acquired 22/13/16/5.5x14 sets.
