Would anyone have the results for the Santa Monica Museum of Flight Aircraft auctions of 1990 or 1991?

in 91, Frank Borman bought a Stinson Reliant, Vern Raburn had the Connie listed, but they had a brake fire in Blythe and was a no show, He kept the plane and it became the MATS Connie, Carl Schmieder had his P-64 listed, but Carl was on a Connie and did not make it to the auction until later. The 64 was sold to the Lone Star Flight Museum, then on to Thailand where it is in a museum there. Tom Riely bought the P-38 project/wreckage. Lone Star bought the Harvard IV that was there.
That is all I can remember, I did not get to wander around too much as I had to baby sit the P-64 because Carl was stuck in Blythe with the Connie.

The Lodestar went for $ 45,000 + 10% premium
The P-38 $ 32,500 + 10% premium

Does anyone have any other figures?
