Any sales of 1914 CJ Mathewsons which occurred in the past 12 months canot possibly have been reflected in the 2004 book. Those prices "closed" almost exactly a year ago. We are in the process of assigning final pricing to the vintage section for the 2005 edition as we speak. It will be finished May 1 and while we might be able to sneak in a six-figure change in the weeks up to press date, virtually every price in the book is cast in stone as of May 1. The Lipset, Mastro and Lifson auctions will be reflected in the new book, but anything which happens in the market after May 1 will have to age a year before it's reflected in our pages.
