Peter, any idea what year it was auctioned?

Yes, it was. Presumably whoever bought it then still owns it.

How many 9s have we seen for sale? Rumor had it that one collector owned several of the 5 (or is it 6).

And the person that last bought it, Rob G, is a very enthusiastic collector and forum member. He lives out of country, last we spoke. (which has only been a handful of times)

There was an SGC 9.5 that a Jersey fella sold for #12.1 million fairly recently. Bought it for $50 k in 1991. Then the brothers from San Diego formerly of MA who had 5 of them had an 8.5 also. Not sure if that one was sold...
