I just checked the only full WaJo autograph I have, a 20th anniversary day letter from 1927 bought in the last REA auction, and the separation is almost as great. Not quite as much space, but very close. (For some reason, that auction is not included yet with their past auctions, so I can't attach a picture.) So who knows? But I would never buy or sell either your WaJo or Matty examples without getting Keating, Stinson, Simon, or one of the other guys I trust to pass on it first.
