I was led to believe they were pulled before the auction, however I may be wrong?

Any particular reason why?

Michael hasn't confirmed they were sold or not. I had told him the QSA & KSA were to the same man, and suspect the CGHGSM was too, but he let me bid on them as separate lots. I pulled my bids in those circumstances.
