I met Mr. (Stan) Surman at (I believe) the 1989 CAAS Convention, and was very impressed with his knowledge of Gretsch guitars, and Chet memoribilia in general, so I have no doubt regarding the authenticity of these items, but as has been pointed out, documenting previous ownership is of great importance.
A beautiful example of one of Stan's guitars is indeed on page 130 of 'The Guitars of the Fred Gretsch Company', by Jay Scott, ©1992.
While far beyond my capability of affordability, I also don't think it is up to any of us to say that 'nobody' could afford to buy these guitars as a whole, because there are people out there with LOTS of money, who are not the least affected by this recession!
