$2 mil. is not that much money, Rich, especially for the amount of posters they had for sale. Their estimates on most posters were way higher. So my question remains, was it or was it not a good sale, especially compared to previous ones.

Not sure on which posters their estimates were "way higher", that might just be perception based on one or two high-visibility pieces (Like the '47 Dracula 3-sheet, which was estimated at double the price of the '38 Frankenstein 3-sheet's last sale).
I went to the auction results page and just clicked on page 4 and checked through a dozen or so results and everything was within or over the estimate except for the Sunset Boulevard insert (which was within $130 of low estimate). So it seems pretty solid.
There are barely over a handful of players who do $1 million+ in sales
per year, let alone double that number in a weekend. It takes Heritage's next closest competitor about 5 months of all sales combined to reach that 2 million number.
