There were many Horner cabinets in the 1996 Chrisite's sale of the Photographic Archives of the Baseball Magazine. Some were sold as individual lots and many others were included in larger lots. Walter Johnson was sold individually, but it was lot 243. Wager was also, but was part of the Sports Memorabilia sale the following day. The Famous T206 Wagner was lot 717 and the Horner of Wagner was lot 718. Other lots featuring individual Horner cabinets included Collins, Young in a unique pitching pose, Walsh, Joss, Tinker, Chance, Griffith, Brown and Chance.
Most sold in the $1,000 to $2,000 range. Johnson was $3,450 and Wagner $23,000.
