Part of the appeal of the auction is the claim that everything was owned by Max:
Max Steiner Personally Owned Collection Of Recordings. With over 300 film scores and 24 Oscar nominations (including three wins) to his credit, Max Steiner is counted among the ranks of film's greatest composers and conductors. Offered here is an impressive collection of Max Steiner's personal recordings of his work in film, including over 50 cassette tapes, and five soundtrack LPs. Recordings cover films like Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, The Searchers, Lost Horizon, Sergeant York, King Kong, and many others. Condition of items varies, with differing degrees of wear throughout.
And despite all the naysayers here, LeRoy Holmes' KING KONG album is proudly displayed (yeah, I know it's mainly for the artwork, but still  ).

Yeah, "a tape of his" is one thing, while a tape of his tape is something else. But I'm willing to believe they are selling off his personal copies.
Weren't Steiner's personal copies mostly acetates discs
At some point, I'll bet Steiner would have made tapes of his acetates.

I would take anything Heritage Auctions says in their descriptions with an extra large container of salt. I have had to correct so much misinformation over the years - they're good about adding my corrections when I find them, but they are the WORST in terms of just believing what they're told, no matter how untrue it may be.
