Pretty much, the last pair I saw go on US gayBay went for nearly $500 :shocked: and that was a couple of years ago although to be fair I don;t bother searching for them too much, only when I'm bored ;) .

It has the early blue gold and green Tioga label on it just like this one on a pair of yellow ones...
