Hey guys - thanks for sharing! I'm sure there were a ton of items that were sold that all of us would love to have had a shot at!
It's interesting that I also see proofs that are attributed to the 89 auction, but from what I can tell looking at the catalog, most of these were sold as proof sheets that I am guessing must have been cut up. The break up value of some of these I am sure is/was much higher than the full sheet, as the individuals appeal to team and player collectors. I have seen the same thing with some of the original line art sheets. Any production items I have I have kept intact, but I certainly understand the motivation to cut up for selling, or ease of storage or display.
Here is the beginning section of the progressive/proof section, so you can get a feel for how they were listed in the auction.
