no, looks like buckeye rot, which i've not
seen before ever. the information i've read
says it happens via contact with the soil but
many of the tomatoes are off the ground and
still affected...

will probably go out and pick any of the
rest that seem to be affected and dispose of
them.

i tried this morning to see if any of them
were useable for putting up, but disliked the
slightly off smell of them and decided to just
dispose of them. so that's 25lbs of tomatoes
to bury...
