Johnson and the rest of the individual Horners (except Wagner) were in the middle of the first session on Saturday. Johnson sold for $3,450 vs an estimate of $1,000 to $1,500.
The Wagner was in the middle of the second day and sold for $23,000 - 10X the estimate of $2,000 to $3,000.
The #1 lot in the sale was the photo used for Mantle's 1951 Bowman card.
And yes, there were quite a few Horner cabinets included in lots where they were not even specifically listed.
