...of LibertyForAll, et al, take a look at this Yahoo Auctions thread.

http://search.auctions.shopping.yahoo.com/search/auc?p=mathewson&st=auct&alocale=0us&acc=us>

Take a alook at Yahoo auction # 68797177. It is the piece of shaat 1930 Whitman #5 Christy Mathewson Graded NASA 9 that's been on eBay. It has a Buy It Now price of $500. (CRIMINY!!!)

Look at the name of the seller on this one, folks. It is Roy Huff. Our infamous yak-yak from Hawaii, living right next door to AAA Grading in Honolulu, HI. Now he's just using his name to sell.

Then, get a load of this. Look at item # 69085794 listed right below it. It's title is 1919 Cristy Mathewson SPALDING Graded AAA NM-MT 8. (Learn to spell Christy correctly Roy, you yak...) This seller's new Yahoo selling name is: pacificvintagesports (unrated). Location...Honolulu. What a shock. But, the BIN price for this hunk o' shaat is much more reasonable at $99.99 (gag).
