while the copy editor was a little too aggressive, bonhams sale is
nonetheless historically important.
the first auction of a collection of meteorites occurred in 1996 at
what was the first natural history auction of the latter 20th Century
which occurred at phillips in new york city. i assembled the
meteorite section for that sale and for the several subsequent
natural history auctions prior to the first auctions in tucson.
what the article should have said was that the upcoming sale is the
first auction ever devoted to meteorites by a traditional auction
house -- which is a very significant deal in and of itself. (please
note that steve arnold's brenham is the featured consignment of this
sale.)

think about the " first-ever " part of that statement.
