I may be mistaken, but it looks like everything that
did sell sold for less than the estimates. I chalk this up to Bonham's generally poor marketing of the sale. The only thing that got mentioned in any press was Christopher Eccleston's TARDIS from Doctor Who, which sold for a bit over $16,000.00 (which also seems low to me).
Wish I'd been at the auction and had a bit more disposable cash; several items would have come home with me!
