Liberal use of the word "similar". A pair of 50's Grand Sports did sell for over $2000..... 4 months ago: http://www.classicrendezvous.com/Highmarks_03.htm near the bottom of the page

They certainly do LOOK similar, but clearly an apples n' oranges situation from a collectability standpoint. At $34, his price is not too bad .... but not a super-duper-ebay-deal. The pair I bought 5 years ago from Euro-Asia cost near that......
