well, call me crazy, but i thought it was a fair price, so i bought a "new" old single seat...will sit next to the original seat i got from Jay Wolt.

MVSNYC,
I thought that the seat and back were the only original parts on the single seats because the one side shows wear on the bottom.

Sarno I miss my old seat but know its in good hands, and I like the idea
of getting the newer version (1976-2008) to display next to it.
When we go to the new Stadium next week, bring some tools and grab the 3rd version

not sure, all i know is that the seat & back are definitely from the stadium, maybe some of the sides were salvaged as well?

Jim, I have seen that website before as I was trying to determine a
fair value for my seat. Though my cost was $35 in 1981.

Here's the incomprable Mike Sarno sitting in the seat at my office.
Seconds later it was loaded in his car. I was (and still am) sad to
see it go.

My cost basis is a little lower than yours. My sister bought it for me for my 18th birthday, in 1973. Cost her $7.50. Of course she didn't smoke, so she had to spring for some cigarettes she never used and drive to Korvette's to pick it up.

Jim - I remember the E.J. Korvettes promotion as well & pleaded w/ my old man
to switch to Winston's so we could grab a seat. He just didn't understand why I
would want one.
