A Guide

t o g r a d i n g c o n d i t i o n & a b b r e v i at i o n s BY JOHN MIHOVETZ In order to properly grade a sign, I have assigned a numbered grading scale from 10 to 1. I created a scale that is easy to understand, and goes into depth on how pieces get their current grade. The 10 to 1 grading scale is currently the best way to grade Tin, Porcelain, Cardboard, & Paper Advertising. I also like to use the plus & minus system along side the numbered grading scale. The plus & minus system works well with the numbered grade because there are better looking grade 9.0 pieces when set side by side, so the plus & minus allows for a slightly better number grade. Although the grading scale is slightly subjective, I have described the process of assigning a piece a numbered grade, and gone into depth in areas on what makes the grading scale accurate. In the category of grading 10 to 9.0, I went into even more detail because this category is slightly overused in todays market, so I want to show what it takes to assign pieces into that particular grade category. Grading is also slightly less aggressive on a large piece, such as a six foot round sign.

10 – A grade that is rarely or never given. In order for a sign to obtain a “10.0” grade, the piece would have to have just rolled out of the original firing kiln with no age or wear whatsoever.

9.9 to 9.5 - A grade of near perfect condition. In order for pieces to grade in this category, they would most likely have to be found New Old Stock. These pieces may have only the slightest amount of edge wear, or small flaw or, “Flea Bite” style chip near a grommet or mounting hole. This piece should also have more than 95 percent of the original color & gloss intact. The piece in this category may have a factory filled flaw or light surface scratch that is not distracting to the appeal of the piece. 9.4 to 9.0 – A grade of just below perfect condition, with a slight amount of edge wear or light chipping along the outer edge, grommets, or mounting holes only. The field of the sign is free of any chips, but may allow for one “Flea Bite” chip in a non distracting area. This piece should also have more than 90 percent of original color and gloss is intact. The piece may also allow only the slightest amount of surface wear in the gloss coat, such as a light scratch or light amount of discoloration that is not distracting to the appeal of the piece. 8.9 to 8.5 – A grade below perfect condition, with minimal chipping or areas of wear around the outer edge or light chips around mounting holes or grommets that are not over distracting. The field on a piece in this grade should be very clean, but may also allow for one to three small, “Flea Bite” chips, or one non distracting dime size chip on the sign, but not in the field. At least 85 percent or more of the original color & gloss should also be intact, and allow for a minimal amount of scratching or discoloration in small areas.

This grading scale is very useful when it comes to understanding the demand of pieces in certain categories, how the grading scale dictates a sales price, or the desirability of a certain piece in certain grade category. When it comes to grading signs with color match or touch up, you have to look past the color match or touched up areas, and judge the sign as if the color match or touch up is not there, and assign a grade category accordingly. When it comes to signs that been restored, they must be placed in one category and one category only, which is restored. Unlike a sign that has been color matched or touched up in a few areas, a sign that has been professionally restored can never come back to a reasonable state of original condition. When it comes to the pricing a restored sign, an immaculately professional restoration on a sign, that piece should bring approximately 40 - 50 percent of an example in 9.0+ original condition or better, although there may be a few exemptions due to rarity or demand.

8.4 to 8.0 – A grade below perfect condition, that allows for more wear & chipping around the outer edge or near the grommet or mounting holes. This sign may also allow for one to two dime size chips on the piece, including the field but not overly distracting. A piece in this grade may also have quarter to half dollar size area of discoloration in the color & gloss, and allow for some light surface scratches in the gloss, as long as its not in the focal point of a piece. This piece should have 80 percent or more of the original color & gloss intact, and not have any distracting areas of the focal point. 7.9 to 7.5 – A grade that falls below near perfect condition. The pieces in this category will have wear & chipping in multiple areas of the sign. The piece will still have an eye appeal to it, but have areas of distracting wear. There will be two to four dime to quarter size chips present in the field as well as wear along the outer edge, mounting holes or grommets. This piece should have 75 percent or more of the original color & gloss intact, but will allow for more areas of discoloration, such as loss of gloss or surface scratches. 7.4 to 7.0 – A grade that falls below near perfect condition. The pieces in this category will have wear & chipping in multiple areas of the sign. This piece will still have appeal to it, but have heavier areas of distracting wear. There will be three to five dime to quarter size chips present in the field as well as distracting wear along the outer edge, and wear & chipping at the mounting holes or grommets. This piece should still retain 70 percent or more of the original color & gloss intact, but will allow for heavier areas of discoloration, such as heavier areas of gloss loss or surface scratches.

t o g r a d i n g c o n d i t i o n & a b b r e v i at i o n s

6.9 to 6.0 – A grade that falls below collector grade condition. These pieces will have large areas of wear & chipping throughout the sign. The sign may also have creased areas that have been flattened out. The sign will have larger areas of wear, but still a visible graphic or image. The piece should still retain 60 percent of color & gloss intact, but will allow for large areas of distracting wear and surface scratching. Although the sign has heavy areas of wear, it should still have a decorator type appeal, with a cool weathered look. 5.9 to 5.0 – A grade that falls below collector grade condition. This pieces will have heavy areas of wear, large chips, and may have missing pieces. These pieces should still retain 50 percent of the original image left, but will allow for large areas of distracting wear and surface scratches. Although signs in this category show significant wear, it should still have a decorator type appeal with a cool weathered look. 4.9 and Below – A grade that falls below collector or decorator type condition. These pieces will have large areas of wear, will have heavy damage, and may be missing pieces. These piece have little to nothing left that appeal to the eye of a collector or decorator, and have little to no value. Although they may be heavily damaged or worn, these are great candidates for restoration.

The cap is pushed in a little and could be straightened easily by a competent restorer. There is a light patent stamp on the lid reflector that includes 1867 and other dates not readable. The frame has been cleaned and is real nice. The three-tab plug-in fount is complete with a twin-tube whale oil burner.

The clear, No. 39 extended base globe is nicely embossed “WNY&PRR” in serif font and in average relief. There is a vertical crack from the top that runs down towards the “Y” in the embossed panel. (Good). 500 - 2,000 1526 - LARGE BRASS LANTERN. 8” x 8” x 14”. This is a large brass fixed globe lantern of unknown provenance or application. It may be a marine piece.

The unit stands 14-1/2” tall to the top of the finial and the clear globe has 5-3/4” of visibility between the fitters. The lantern appears to have never been fired and may be a patent model (?) Original plaster retaining the globe is intact at top and bottom. George Peugeot was thought to have exited the lantern business about 1865 when Ball and Bonnell arrived, but maybe not? (Excellent). 500 - 2,000 1527 - B&A RR RAILROAD LANTERN. 4” x 4” x 9 - 1/2”. A fixed globe, brass top, guarded model made by C T Ham.

The frame cage is wire-tied and fixes to an intermediate base via release buttons, allowing the globe to be removed. This fixes into a bayonet base with another set of release buttons. This model is usually not RR marked, however “V. C. RR” is embossed in the base. This might be a fantasy marking, because the letters do not conform to a standard die curvature. The base has a No. 1 “pick wick” lard screw affixed. Metal condition shows a dark patina. There is a “WM Westlake” patent stamp underneath. The split-color signal green/clear No. 39 extended base globe is not marked. There is a shallow chip in the top fitter. Color translucence is good. (Very Good). 400 - 1,200

The cage lifts off of the bottom frame by releasing two opposed compression springs. Likewise, the base detaches in the same manner exposing the oil fount with No. 1 “pick wick” lard tube affixed. The chimney also detaches in the same manner, allowing the lid to detach from the top globe cylinder. A couple of the vertical guard wires are loose at the top globe fitter. The frame cage is wire-tied and all joints are in good condition. The brass shows heavy tarnish and is otherwise in real good condition with no stress cracking noted. The clear globe appears to be original to this old frame and is engraved “SAMUEL PULLMAN” in serif font inside of a simple wreath. On the backside of the globe, there is an ornate bird engraved over a stars/stripes shield on a bed of flowers, very well done. (Very Good). 400 - 2,000

A C T Ham No. 39, double guard, bellbottom railroad lantern with correct bayonet base and No. 1 ratchet burner. “ERIE RR” is nicely embossed on the lid reflector. The lantern retains original patina. While ERIE bellbottom Ham lanterns do exist, this one shows a sloppy solder job in the hinge area and may be a lid swap. Patina is a decent match top to bottom. There is some minor denting on the base. The Corning-style, No. 39 globe is a beautiful medium AMBER and is nicely embossed “E R R Co,” showing little evidence of RR use. Color translucence is real nice. It’s a beautiful globe. (Good). 400 - 1,500 1535 - V C R R RAILROAD LANTERN. 7” x 7” x 10 - 3/4”.

The single-guard frame has both bail locking ears intact. The fount is a Dietz replacement and shows signs of having been burned, however the lantern itself appears to be unused. The lid latch spring is a replacement. The selenium red Corning NonEx globe is nicely embossed with “The D&H” logo. The color translucence is good. (Very Good). 200 - 400

1540 - CONDUCTOR’S RAILROAD LANTERN. 5 - 3/4” x 5 - 3/4” x 13”. A brass conductor’s frame made by D. D. Miller, but it’s not hallmarked.

2569 - MORTIER 80 KEY CAFE DANCE ORGAN. 110” x 54” x 112”. 1912, BELGIUM: Towards the end of Mortier’s production, these Art Deco organs were mechanically similar to the earlier style organs, but with the addition of an accordion, they were able to add a modern café style instrument to the collection. By that time Mortier’s dominance among Belgium dance organ makers was being challenged by Gebr. Decap, who also made superb dance orchestrions in the modern style. This instrument started its life in 1912 as a large size dance organ in Belgium. In 1990 it was acquired by Henri Krijnen, who enlisted Decap Herentals to downsize the organ to fit the original Mortier façade he had acquired. It was subsequently restored by Martin Conrads of Holland, where special attention was taken to give the instrument a modern sound. The addition of the accordion, some additional noted pipes and a MIDI system all have added to the wonderful sound. This Mortier will play on either tune cards or MIDI. As has been the movement for some time now with modern dance organ builders like Gebr. Decap working to a more modern sound and popular music, this instrument has achieved that sound and is worthy of a listen, so you can experience its contemporary qualities. Visit www.morphyauctions.com and click on the link to view, more importantly, listen to the video. CONSIDERATIONS: Restored, and playing beautifully on tune card and on MIDI. Comes with 46 tune cards. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made. (Excellent). 30,000 - 60,000

Terms & Conditions We advise all bidders to read the Terms and Conditions of the Sale before bidding with Dan Morphy Auctions LLC and/or Morphy Firearms LLC collectively referred to below as MORPHY’S. Those who bid are bound by those Terms and Conditions of the Sale, as amended by any oral announcement, published or posted notices, which together form the contract of the sale between the successful bidder (buyer), MORPHY’S and the seller (consignor) of the lot.

TERMS OF SALE

TIMING

LIMITED GUARANTEE

FIREARMS – These terms do NOT apply to our firearms auctions. To view the terms and conditions for our Firearms Auctions, please go to: www.morphyauctions.com/firearmterms

When bidding on any lot offered by MORPHY’S, the bidder indicates acceptance of the following Terms of Sale. Any participation in the auction binds you to agreement of these terms whether you read or understand said terms. The Terms in writing contained herein are subject to change without notice and bidder agrees that the most recently published Terms of Sale as published or amended on the website at the beginning of the auction shall apply. MORPHY’S makes every effort to accurately describe all items offered in its sales. The descriptions carry a limited guarantee. It is a guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee against anything less than a major discrepancy that would have less than a major effect upon value. This limited guarantee covers authenticity, major restoration or repair not described, counterfeits, reproductions or major fabrications not disclosed in the description. Examples of what we do not guarantee against, imperfections, slight damages, handling marks, natural imperfections, undisclosed blemishes, finish differences, wood-to-metal fit issues, surface cracks or chips in wood, dings and dents, bore condition and other similar differences that are inherent in the antiques and collectible industry. All items are sold for display purposes. If electrical, mechanical, or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, we are not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of these antiques and items. It is the bidder’s responsibility (present or absentee bidders) to determine by inspection by themselves or a hired professional the exact condition of each item prior to bidding on the item. Should MORPHY’S deny an authenticity issue dispute of the buyer, and the buyer is not satisfied, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the written opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed item. The final decision of those experts will determine any refund consideration. This limited guarantee is only available to the buyer of record. Please also refer to POST SALE RETURN POLICY at end of terms. Except as stated in the limited guarantee above, MORPHY’S will not be held responsible for typographical errors. Neither we nor the consignor, make any guarantees, warranties, or representation, expressed, or implied, in regard to the property or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to initiate contact with MORPHY’S in request for additional information regarding the items. Submit all questions regarding upcoming auction items at least 48 hours prior to the date of auction. We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner. We will do our best but cannot promise that questions submitted within 48 hours of the auction date will be answered prior to the auction. The consigner and we make no representation or warranty as to whether the buyer acquires any reproduction rights in the property. All items will be available for preview approximately one (1) month prior to the auction.

There will be no options for refunds of any type beyond 35 calendar days from the auction date. Paying late and thus receiving items late will not change the limitation on the dates above for refund consideration. Please also refer to POST SALE RETURN POLICY at end of terms.

TOYS - Toy sets are not returnable under any circumstances once the bidder obtains possession of the lot. GAMING DEVICES - MORPHY’S may hold these items for up to 5 business days to allow state agencies to verify the buyer’s information. All auction participants are urged to check the legality of possession in and/or shipment of gaming devices to their state of residence. Ownership of gaming devices is prohibited in these states: Alabama, Connecticut, Hawaii, Nebraska, South Carolina, and Tennessee. If you become a high bidder on a gaming item, and you are from one of the prohibited states as listed here: • You must pay for your item, • You will not be able to take possession of the item (MORPHY’S cannot ship it to you or allow pickup), • MORPHY’S will consign the item in your name to the next appropriate auction. If you do not pay for the item in full, MORPHY’S will block you from participating in future auctions. Any gaming device purchased at the auction shall be used for the purpose of display or social entertainment within the private home or residence of the buyer, and such devices shall not, in any event or manner, be exposed to the public for the purpose of gambling or be resold in the state of Nevada without a gaming distribution license. Proof of residence/ID is required for purchase of gaming devices. FIREWORKS – MORPHY’S can only ship Class 1 Division 1.4 and 1.6 Explosives (as described in the following website: http:// environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/hazmat/placards/class1.html) per the 49CFR 173.50 and can only ship these via UPS. All items not shippable must be picked up by the buyer. SPORTS COLLECTIBLES • Return Considerations o MORPHY’s is not responsible for a third party grading company agreeing or disagreeing with our assessment, and we cannot issue refunds or credits if cards do not receive a numerical grade or the exact grade that we describe. MORPHY’s strongly recommends that you personally evaluate any items that you are bidding on, and make your own determination about its grade. MORPHY’S offers no guarantee of grade for uncertified items sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. o Cards sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold “as is” without any express or implied warranty. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services, and the Bidder is referred to them for further details: Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), Sportscard Guaranty LLC (SGC), Global Authentics LLC, Beckett Grading Services (BGS), JO Sports, Inc. (continued...)


bidder

Terms & Conditions o MORPHY’S will not accept return of certified items due to possible differences of opinion with respect to the grade offered by any third-party organization, dealer, or service. Grading does not qualify for return evaluation, nor do such complaints constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of a lot. o MORPHY’s shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated collectible. In any such instance, buyer’s remedy, if any, shall be solely against the service certifying the collectible. o Under extremely limited circumstances related solely to authenticity, such as a highly significant cataloging error, a buyer, who did not bid from the floor, may request MORPHY’S to evaluate voiding a sale. o Lots returned must be completely intact in their original form and undamaged holder, or there will be no credit. Certifications are void and returns are not accepted for any cards removed from their third-party grading holder. o All elements of the MORPHY’S POST-SALE RETURN POLICY apply. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. • On any lot presented with a Letter of Authenticity (“LOA”) issued by MORPHY’S o The bidder shall solely rely upon the warranties of the authentication provider issuing the Letter or opinion, or on the warranties of the authentication provider of the bidder’s choice. o Warranty inures only to the original buyer. Buyer may not transfer the rights afforded under the LOA, and it is null and void when Buyer transfers or attempts to transfer the lot. o The LOA warranty is valid from date of the auction in which Buyer was awarded the lot to four (4) years after its purchase. o The LOA warranty is valid as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage, e.g. game worn. o Claim procedure: o Buyer must contact MORPHY’S within the warranty period, prior to submission of the lot as to his intent to make a claim, receive prior approval, and arrange secure shipment. o Buyer must present with the claim, authoritative written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the sports field. o If MORPHY’S concurs that the lot is not as represented, Buyer shall be refunded their purchase price. o If the MORPHY’s denies the claim, the Buyer agrees to the AGREEMENT REGARDING GOVERNING LAW, VENUE, AND LEGAL RIGHTS noted herein. o The LOA does not provide for incidental or consequential damages or other indirect damages. Any lot sold with a certificate of authenticity or other warranty from an entity other than Auctioneer or Morphy’s affiliates is subject to such issuing entity’s rules and such conditions are the sole remedy afforded to buyer. • In the event MORPHY’s cannot deliver the lot, or subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title, provenance, or authenticity, MORPHY’s liability shall be limited to voiding of the sale and refund of purchase price. In no case shall MORPHY’s liability exceed the winning bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed, MORPHY’S maximum liability shall be limited to any buyer’s premium earned on that lot. • Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, MORPHY’S reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the items. MORPHY’S also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction.

• There is a subjectivity to grading, especially the grading of cards. Every effort is made to verify the condition of each lot as it is described. MORPHY’S accepts items for auction after careful scrutiny by not only ourselves, but, when necessary, by other leading authenticators. We cannot guarantee that every card described by us will in all cases receive exactly the same grade, or even be accepted for grading, from any third-party grading service. Similarly, we cannot guarantee that every card graded by one third-party grading service will in all cases receive exactly the same grade by another third-party grading service. Occasionally a lot description will include the words “we have submitted,” which is intended to be taken literally and give bidders great confidence that MORPHY’S has not “done anything” to the cards to alter or otherwise improve their appearance and ultimate grade. No warranty, whether expressed or implied, is made with respect to any grade, condition, or other adjectival descriptions, which can and do vary, even among experts. • Large Autograph Group Disclaimer: When dealing with a single individual auction lot containing many items, these lots are offered with the explicit understanding that it is possible that there may be a small percentage which are not authentic. When authenticating large lots, such as a collection of 6,000+ signed 3 x 5 cards, or a set of 700+ signed baseball cards, great care has been taken in the authentication process, with all the greater attention focused on any items representing a concentration of value. It is always possible that on rare occasions a secretarial or stamped signature could be missed here or there. Without this disclaimer, as a practical matter, it would not be possible for MORPHY’S to offer such lots at all. All bidders bidding on such lots do so with this understanding. • Abbreviation/Definition/Condition Key: PR — Poor, GD — Good, VG — Very Good, EX — Excellent, NM — Near Mint, MT — Mint. NOTE: If an item has a multiple grade such as VG-EX, then that item falls somewhere in between those two conditions. GOODS MADE FROM OR CONTAINING MATERIALS FROM PROTECTED SPECIES - MORPHY’S does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omission in marking or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such material includes, but is not limited to, ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal, and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. Laws include, but are not limited to, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA). States currently restricting trade of protected species include, but are not limited to, California, New York and New Jersey. Prospective buyers are on notice that several countries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of protected materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the countries of exportation and importation as well. Potential buyers intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on goods containing material from protected species. Regulations may vary as the U.S. generally prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old, subject to certain exceptions.

(continued...)


bidder

Terms & Conditions It shall be the potential buyer’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All buyers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. MORPHY’S is not able to assist the buyer in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and there is no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said goods or the delay in payment of purchased items in accordance with these Bidder Terms and Conditions. JEWELRY AND WATCHES • Jewelry Descriptions and Condition Reports: Lots being offered are sold as-is on the day of sale. Condition reports, either written or verbal, are provided as a courtesy only, and are not to be taken as fact or guarantees of condition or quality of the lots. All information provided is the opinion of the specialist at MORPHY’S, including but not limited to weights, grades, color, and clarity. All gemstones and diamonds are measured and graded in their setting unless stated otherwise. All weights and grades are approximate. Buyers wishing to have a grading or gemological report from an independent, internationally recognized laboratory, such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the American Gemological Laboratories (AGL), may request one at their own expense or hire an independent adviser of their choosing. • Watch Descriptions and Condition Reports: The physical characteristics, timing accuracy or functionality of timepieces cannot be guaranteed, and all items are sold as-is. o Any condition statement reflects the condition of the watch on the date of the report. Condition can change from the time of the report to the day of sale. o Photographs are for identification purposes only. Buyers may not use them as precise indications of size or condition. o The origin or authenticity of all components cannot be guaranteed. o Watches with waterproof or water-resistant cases – MORPHY’S may open cases to develop descriptions, and cannot guarantee that any watch is waterproof or water-resistant at the time of purchase. MORPHY’S recommends that the buyer have a professional watchmaker evaluate the watch at buyer’s expense. o Buyers must be aware that watches may need general service, change of battery, or further repair work for which the buyer is solely responsible. o Dials - All watches have the possibility that after their original date of manufacture they received reconditioning or replacement of dials or elements of the dial such as but not limited to standard or luminescent hour markers, hands, script, date or measurement indices, lacquer, and finish. Buyer is solely responsible for determining and understanding such condition issues. • The lack of a condition report does not imply that the item or lot is free from imperfections, defects or wear and tear of the aging process. This includes but is not limited to: deficient stones, needed repair or defects.

• It is common and generally accepted in the jewelry industry that some diamonds and most gemstones have been enhanced with various treatments to improve their overall appearance. o These treatments include but are not limited to: heating, dying, oiling, laser drilling, HTHP, wax, bleaching, irradiation, resin or polymer impregnation and various other techniques. o Unless stated in the title, it is assumed that one or more treatments have been performed to the stones. While many treatments are considered permanent, this cannot be guaranteed. o Please note that many treatments cannot be determined without sophisticated laboratory testing. Due to the various laboratories and developing scientific methods for testing, not all reports or certificates will have the same results for treatment type, extent of treatment and stability of treatment. o MORPHY’S makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, as to whether natural stones have been treated or enhanced, whether specifically referenced or not. • Laboratory reports may accompany some lots o If a lot is accompanied by certificates or reports from internationally recognized and accepted gemological laboratories, it will be noted in the description. o Copies will be available upon request, with the original going to the successful bidder. o The reports cannot be guaranteed and are provided for informational purposes only. Results on reports may differ from laboratory to laboratory. o MORPHY’S accepts no responsibility for the accuracy, terms or information contained in such certificates or reports.

Due to our fast-paced auctions and bids coming from floor bidders, phone bidders, online bidders and absentee bids, the auctioneer has the final word on all item(s) sold. You (the bidder) assume the risk of winning an item online and not having the item sell to you. This is due to the final call of the auctioneer and the operator not being able to re-open that lot. Online bidders are fully responsible for accidental bidding as if they bid normally. • BID RESULTS – Please allow 24-48 hours post auction to receive your official invoice from MORPHY’S. MORPHY’S will only contact successful bidders. The invoice will include item, hammer price, premium, shipping, handling, insurance, taxes, and any other charges that apply. Invoices and any outstanding amount due may and will be auto charged to the credit card on file within 48 hours of the invoice being sent. If you wish to pay by another method, please contact us within 48 hours after the sale. • TELEPHONE BIDDING - Requests for phone lines must be received at least three (3) days prior to the auction date. MORPHY’S cannot guarantee phone lines but will make every attempt to accommodate those who wish to participate through that method. Phone lines are provided on a first come first served basis. Please visit www.morphyauctions.com or call 877-968-8880 to register for a telephone bid.

BID INCREMENTS

Bid increments listed are a general guideline. Actual increments are at the auctioneer’s discretion. If a lot does not receive a bid of 50% of the low estimate, the lot will be passed by the auctioneer. $0 - $500…................$25 $500 - $1,000….........$50 $1,000 - $2,000…......$100 $2,000 - $5,000…......$200 $5,000 - $10,000....…$500 $10,000 +…............... Auctioneer’s discretion

RESERVES

Most of our items are unreserved, but occasionally items may carry a moderate reserve. Please note that when a lot carries a reserve, the reserve is usually somewhere below our low estimate. In the case of a reserved item, the seller has authorized the auctioneer to bid on their behalf until the reserve price is reached.

BUYER’S PREMIUM

A 20% buyer’s premium will be added to all successful bids and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase cost. A 3% merchant fee is also automatically applied to all invoices but can be discounted upon payment by cash, check, money order or wire transfer that is received within 7 days from the receipt of the invoice. If the type of payment is split, invoice will reflect the 3% charge for

merchant fees on the entire invoice. In addition, a surcharge will be added for certain third-party online bidding platforms the bidder utilizes. Refer to your bidding platform of choice for the final buyer’s premium.

SALES TAX

MORPHY’S is required by law to collect sales tax where our company has nexus. Sales tax rate will be charged by law on behalf of the state and locality where the customer of record takes possession of their purchase. Lots are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless the required form and copy of permit are on file with MORPHY’S. It is the bidder’s responsibility to know the sales tax rate applicable. As a convenience and without any guarantee, you may use this website, https://www.taxjar.com/sales-tax-calculator, as a resource to calculate your applicable sales tax rate. Bidder agrees to pay MORPHY’S the actual amount of tax due if sales tax is not properly collected due to 1) an expired, inaccurate, or inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form and certificate must be on file at and verified by MORPHY’S five days prior to the auction, or the tax must be paid. If the required form and certificate is received by MORPHY’S within 4 days of the conclusion of the auction, you qualify for a refund for the tax paid. Lots from different auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes.

PAYMENT, INTEREST & STORAGE FEES

Any invoice totaling more than $100,000 must be paid within three (3) days. All other merchandise must be paid in full within seven (7) days of the date of the invoice. Payments can be made by going to your account online at www.morphyauctions.com, call 877-968-8880 or mail payment to: Dan Morphy Auctions LLC 2000 N Reading Rd, Denver, PA 17517. Invoices and any outstanding amount due may and will be auto charged to the credit card on file within 48 hours of the invoice being sent. If you wish to pay by another method, please contact us within 48 hours after the sale. Interest will be charged on all balances not paid at the rate of 1-1/2% monthly (18% APR) effective 30 days from the invoice date. All goods not retrieved by Buyer within 45 days after the invoice date, shall be subject to a monthly storage fee as follows: $50/month per regular sized item or $100/month per oversized item. Buyer authorizes MORPHY’s to sell, at their standard commission and consignment contract terms, any goods not retrieved after a 90-day period in any manner deemed appropriate by MORPHY’s and the proceeds will be applied to any outstanding balance due from the buyer. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, personal checks, certified checks, wire transfers, money orders, and cash. • Sneakers, Jewelry, Watches, Coin and Currency Items or any invoices Morphy’s deems at risk of credit card fraud – We accept cash, wire transfer, check, certified checks and money orders only. No credit cards will be accepted for invoices containing these items. • CREDIT CARD – We will not accept credit card payment for any jewelry, watch, coin or currency purchases or on any purchases that Morphy’s deems to be at risk for fraud. If a credit card is used as any form of total payment, invoice will reflect a 3% surcharge on the entire invoice. This charge is automatically added but will be discounted if payment is received by cash, check, money order or wire transfer. MORPHY’s reserves the right to refuse to ship to a different address than the billing address on the credit card being used. • CHECK - There will be a $30.00 service charge for returned checks. Make checks payable to: Dan Morphy Auctions LLC. MORPHY’S reserves the right to hold items paid for by personal or company check until said check clears (14 days). MORPHY’S has the right to (continued...)


bidder

Terms & Conditions hold all checks over $2,000. Customers who have an established successful buying history with MORPHY’S may be exempt from this requirement. We will accept a personal or company check >$2,000 from a first time buyer if you provide a Bank Letter of Credit, available on our website, www.morphyauctions.com. • WIRE TRANSFERS – There will be a $30 charge added to all wire transfers less than $2,000. Please add this amount to your invoice total before sending a wire transfer. In the few situations where a successful bidder does not remit payment when due, MORPHY’S will proceed with the legal steps necessary to protect its interests and will block the bidder from future auction participation.

PACKING/SHIPPING

• It is the bidder’s responsibility to take shipping, handling, and insurance costs into consideration when bidding on items. • BIDDERS PRESENT AND TAKING ITEMS AFTER AUCTION – Since item liability transfers upon a successful bid, items paid for must be packed, transported and/or removed by the buyer at his/her own risk after the close of the sale. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S packs or transports the merchandise, it is fully at the risk, responsibility, and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. • ITEMS NOT PICKED UP THE DAY OF THE SALE (Denver, PA) – Shipping, handling, insurance, and taxes will be added to all invoices that Morphy’s agrees to ship. We recommend you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. Shipping will be based on actual costs provided by UPS, USPS, or other carriers based upon the contents’ size and weight. Packaging and insurance will vary in cost depending on the contents and value of the shipment. Oversize and breakable items are not standard shippable items and will require shipment by a 3rd party shipper. MORPHY’s cannot combine standard item shipments with oversize and breakable item shipments. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S packs or transports the merchandise, it is fully at the risk, responsibility, and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. • SHIPPING TERMS (Denver, PA) - MORPHY’S will ship items to the buyer at the listed address via UPS or other carriers, FOB, Denver, Pennsylvania, or FOB other auction locations. Any risk of loss or damage to the item(s) during transit via UPS, or any other carrier is at the risk of the buyer. Any additional insurance coverage should be purchased by the buyer through the carrier. Buyer releases MORPHY’s from all claims for loss or damage to any item during transit and agrees to pay all costs of defense, including attorney’s fees, for any claims brought against MORPHY’S for loss or damage occurring during transit. MORPHY’s is not responsible for mis-delivery or theft of packages. • INSURANCE (Denver, PA) - Shipping insurance is automatically added to invoices for shipment to the United States and Canada locations. Insurance may be waived by providing MORPHY’s a signed insurance waiver. Insurance for all 3rd party shipments must be arranged through that carrier. Insurance purchased through MORPHY’s applies only to shipments to the United States and Canada. Buyers must purchase their own insurance for shipments to other countries. • INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS – MORPHY’S has the capability to ship to international bidders. By law, MORPHY’S cannot, and will not, declare lesser values for any international purchases and all

shipments will include the invoice with purchase totals including the buyer’s premium and shipping cost. All international bidders are responsible for knowing their country’s laws on importing items and for paying all customs and duties on the items. • 3RD PARTY SHIPPING OVERSIZE ITEMS – Buyers will need to either pick up the items personally or arrange a 3rd party shipping service for oversize items. As a general guideline, the following will indicate which packages apply, as they are of a certain weight, length, or dimensional size. • Dimensional size is length (the longest measurement) + (height x 2) + (width x 2). For example a 36” x 36” x 12” package = 36 + (36 x2) + (12 x 2) = 132” • USA home shipments must be <70 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size • USA business shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size • International shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <130” dimensional size • There may be certain shipments that meet these requirements that will still require 3rd party shipping, and we will communicate the reason in those cases. • 3RD PARTY SHIPPING OF BREAKABLE, DELICATE, FRAGILE ITEMS (Denver, PA) MORPHY’S reserves the right to decline shipment of items based on its fragility. If an item is unable to be shipped in-house, the item will require shipment by a 3rd party or pick up arrangements to be made. MORPHY’s will not ship any items that are neon or contain neon. Other examples of fragile items include glass display cases of any size; coin-operated, arcade and vending items with fragile parts and/or glass; signs with parts or protrusions beyond the main body of the sign, oversized vases, high value lamps and glass of all sizes, high value artwork including but not limited to paintings, statuary, sculpture, figurines, dioramas, and other intricate items; and items subject to impact by moisture and known handling issues in the supply chain. Under no circumstances will MORPHY’S be responsible for shipping damage to picture frames of any kind. • For any buyers who wish to arrange for their own shipping, MORPHY’S must be notified at least seven (7) days prior to arrival of the shipping company name, arrival date and time. Pickup must be scheduled to begin and end within our normal business hours (9am – 4pm weekdays). • STORAGE FEE – MORPHY’S will charge a monthly storage fee of $50/ month per regular sized item or $100/month per oversized item for any items on MORPHY’s location for more than 45 days. Buyer authorizes the MORPHY’s to sell, at their standard commission and consignment contract terms, any goods not retrieved after a 90-day period in any manner deemed appropriate by MORPHY’s and the proceeds will be applied to any outstanding balance due from the buyer. • FIREWORKS – MORPHY’S can only ship Class 1 Division 1.4 and 1.6 Explosives (as described in the following website: http://environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/hazmat/placards/class1. html) per the 49CFR 173.50 and can only ship these via UPS. All items not shippable must be picked up by the buyer. ALL LOTS PURCHASED IN AN AUCTION HELD IN LAS VEGAS WILL BE SHIPPED BY LAS VEGAS CRATING. BUYERS WILL RECEIVE A SEPARATE INVOICE FROM THE SHIPPER WHICH WILL INCLUDE ALL SHIPPING, HANDLING, AND INSURANCE CHARGES. IF YOU WISH TO ARRANGE YOUR OWN SHIPPING, PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE.

Buyers who have not made their payment within the due date of 7 days may not return any items under any circumstances. No lots purchased by floor bidders (including those bidders acting as agents for others) may be returned. Please refer to MORPHY’S limited guarantee herein.
