JM is a great pin.
As for $3k HUO. It all depends on the current condition. HUO doesn't mean anything but that the pin was never on route. HUO could mean the pin has had 20 owners and is thrashed. I've seen HUO pins with 9000 total plays and one's with 50 total plays. Get detailed pictures of the entire pin and try to get more history on the pin's past. If it's high use, not taken care of HUO, then no, it's not worth $3k. If it's mint, low play HUO, then it is worth it if you like the pin.
Good luck in your search.
