Okay, this is the shakedown for Horner photos in the 1996 auction.
Lot # 14 was a mounted cabinet of Vic Willis which sold below estimate @ $500.
Lots 241 and 242 thru 252 featured mounted cabinets of the Eddie Collins,
Charles Barnard, T.J. Lynch, Cy Young, Walter Johnson, Ed Walsh, Joss, Tinker,
Billy Hamilton, Griffith, Three-Finger Brown and Chance. They all went for around the house estimate of 8 hundred to 1200 dollars. Johnson was the most expensive at three grand. The civilians and Billy Hamilton went way below estimate.
There were four lots of cabinets, all but two being Horners, which sold on the second day.

#433 were described as damaged or altered cabinets (pin holes, painted up).
there were 20 non HOFers that went for $1100. That was way below the estimate.
#434 had five cabinets, with three being Horners. They were HOFers that were inked up of McGinnity, Waddell and Speaker. They sold for $1000, which was in the middle of the estimate.
#435 consisted of 18 unmounted Horners, all non-HOFers and sold for $1100, which was within the low end of the estimate.
One bidder picked up most of the Saturday Horner lots.
