thebigtrain, unless I'm misunderstanding this entire thread, the Clean Sweep auction did not include the typewritten contract. The auctioned item was the handwritten contract, and the typewritten one was shown for comparison purposes.

The typewritten contract was sold several years ago in a different auction, and it apparently still resides in the collection of the country's preeminent documents & manuscripts collector David Karpeles. I don't think JSA was involved (and maybe wasn't even yet in business) the last time this contract sold. Hopefully, Karpeles (who has 10 manuscript museums and owns an original draft of the Bill of Rights) did his due diligence and wasn't fooled by a forger using a 1950s typewriter, but I'll be interested to see if you can prove otherwise.
