the text in the letter shows that the artists chosen to receive these commemorative Walkmen were from differing record labels.
Me saying this doesn't mean it isn't all lies of course. It might be true. Costing over $4K to find out is standard issue eBay insanity, IMHO...

Check the 3rd paragraph, about nominations.
Each winning nominee got one, it seems...

If the supporting letter is to be believed (which I've finally uploaded properly now in my previous post), then Sony invited nominations from any music label & chose The Who as one of the winners of this Silver Tiffany Walkman award.
When a band wins a Grammy they don't get one each, do they?
Anyroadup, this could all be total hogwash, & even if it isn't, the price is full-time loony-tunes.

Like it, deliverance
Although I've been at pains to point out the apparent plausibility of this auction, I personally think it stinks to high heaven & wouldn't touch it if it was a BIN for £20.
