elcome to our October 2014 Space & Collectibles Public Auction. This sale will be held live on the internet beginning at 11am (Central Time) on Wednesday, October 15th. We’re proud of the high-quality material we’ve been able to assemble. And, while we do have some incredibly rare items, we also feature many affordable ones with great appeal. During the next few years, we will mark anniversaries of multiple major space events leading up to the 1969 Moon Landing. These anniversaries can do nothing but continue to spur interest and drive the prices of space related collectibles higher. In fact, many significant items are extremely difficult to find right now. In 1959 (55 years ago), NASA awarded the important and lucrative space contract to St. Louis’ own McDonnell Corp to manufacture the Mercury Spacecraft. The rest, as they say, is history. By 1964 (50 years ago), Gemini I was launched, we were able to see the first satellite visual telecast (the Ali-Liston fight) and, in October, the Soviet Union launched Voskhod I. You’ll find a crew-signed Voskhod I cover in the Soviet section (Lot 267), a surprisingly affordable piece of space history! There are many other great items of note in this sale as well. The fascination with lighter-than-airships seems eternal. We have a number of both balloon and zeppelin-related items, of particular note is Lot 20, a vintage 1936 unplayed game, ‘On the Hindenburg & Graf Zeppelin to the Americas.’ In the satellite section, we offer a Vernier Surveyor engine body prototype (Lot 50). In the U.S. Space section, we feature close to 200 lots of covers, autographed photos, hardware and many other items related to the U.S. missions. An additional 100 lots of autographs and artifacts represent the Soviet end of the Space Race. We also are offering more than 60 unusual lots of space-related covers and stamp collections from all over the World. We have two Soviet space models that are amazing in their detail, condition and rarity. These include a model of the 1971 Soviet Mars-3 Space Probe (Lot 416) and a model of the 2008 Russian Angara 5P Rocket (Lot 418). You should take a moment to look at these beauties! In collectibles, you’ll find everything from a Salvador Dali ‘doodle’ (Lot 425) and Pablo Picasso book with signed sketch (Lot 431); to an Ian Fleming letter written the year of his death (Lot 435) and a Marilyn Monroe signed record cover (Lot 457). There are even hair samples of celebrities and politicians including Abraham Lincoln, Babe Ruth and Secretariat (yes, the horse). Other highlights include Declaration signers Philip Livingston and Josiah Bartlett (Lots 482 and 483) and even a series of six handwritten letters by Henry Clay (Lots 484-489). Our Coins & Currency section has more than 100 lots of quality items. These include an 1873 Seated Liberty dollar with motto (graded MS64, Lot 799), 1922 Peace Dollar with ‘moustache’ die break (graded MS 64, Lot 829) and a number of gold pieces, such as a $3 1861 Indian Head (graded MS62, Lot 858) and 1888 O Liberty Head $10 (graded MS63, Lot 871). Viewing and live bidding are available 24/7 at www.RegencySuperior.com or in person at our St. Louis gallery Monday through Saturday (10am to 5pm) until the day of sale.

Bidding Guidelines for Coins, Sports & Autographs coin CatALOGs

Estimates

In addition to the catalog value, 'estimates' are listed for each lot. You will find the estimates more reflective of the current market, and what you can reasonably expect to pay for a lot. You may, of course, bid higher or lower than the estimates. You may also speak with a lot describer for a more detailed description of a particular lot. Please call at least 72 hours prior to the sale (the earlier, the better). Remember, a Public Auction is not an approval service, lots are not returnable unless misdescribed.

Limits

You may limit your total purchases by simply indicating the amount on your bidding form. This way, for example, you can bid on $5,000 worth of lots, but limit your purchases to $1,000. Remember that all lots are sold in lot number order. Bids on specially desired lots over and beyond your limit may be added to your purchase if you indicate they are to be excluded from your limit.

'OR' Bids

You may bid on several similar lots with the assurance that you will purchase only one of them. Simply place an 'OR' between the bids submitted on the lots involved, and we will buy the first 'OR' lot for you, and void the rest. Remember that all lots are sold in lot number order, so you may not indicate a preference for one lot over another.

1971 SOVIET MARS-3 SPACE PROBE MODEL (1:10 SCALE) ........................................................... PH $25,000-35,000

Highly detailed large-scale, heavy handmade metal model, with some elements of plastic and resin. Details and accuracy of model are of the highest museum quality. Size without stand 14"x11"x7". Mars 3 was an unmanned space probe of the Soviet Mars program that spanned the years between 1960-73. On Dec 2, 1971, the USSR’s Mars 3 Lander made the first successful landing on the planet’s surface. It transmitted data for 20 seconds before failing. Mars 3 was launched nine days after its twin spacecraft, Mars 2. The probes were identical, each consisting of an Orbiter and an attached Lander. After Mars 2 crash-landed on Mars, Mars 3 became the first spacecraft to attain a soft landing. By coincidence, a particularly large dust storm on Mars adversely affected the mission. When Mariner 9 arrived and successfully orbited Mars on Nov 14, 1971, just two weeks prior to Mars 2 and Mars 3, planetary scientists were surprised to find the atmosphere was thick with ‘a planet-wide robe of dust, the largest storm ever observed.’ The surface was totally obscured. Unable to reprogram the mission computers, both Mars 2 and Mars 3 dispatched their Landers immediately, and the Orbiters used up a significant portion of their available data resources in snapping images of the featureless dust clouds below, rather than the surface mapping intended. The Mars 3 orbiter sent back data covering the period from December 1971 to March 1972, although transmissions continued through August. It was announced that Mars 3 had completed its mission by Aug 22, 1972, after 20 orbits. The images and data enabled creation of surface relief maps and gave information on the Martian gravity and magnetic fields. Model includes stand and in excellent condition.

2008 RUSSIAN ROCKET ANGARA-5P SCALE MODEL (1:50) .................................................................................................... PH $15,000-20,000

Large scale (1:50) model of Russian space rocket Angara-5P, produced by GKNPTs Khrunichev. Model is very high quality, highly detailed, handmade, mostly metal model with plastic and resin elements, displaying amazing craftsmanship. This is presentational museum quality, ONE OF TWO models made for MAKS 2008 exhibition, International Aviation and Space Show near Moscow. Model stands 45" tall (39" without stand) and mounted on wooden base. Angara-5P is two-stage rocket, 712-ton booster designated Angara-5P, where ‘P’ stood for ‘piloted’ or ‘manned.’ Since any deep-space exploration missions may not occur until the 2030s, Angara-5P could be the main carrier of Russian manned spacecraft during most of the 2020s. Moreover, GKNPTs Khrunichev proposed deep-space mission scenarios, where the manned vehicles would still be launched on Angara-5P and dock in the low Earth orbit with large space tugs delivered by super-heavy rockets. On July 9, 2014, Russia launched the ecologically clean Angara rocket from the Plesetsk military cosmodrome. It is the first space booster designed in Russia from scratch since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Model is pristine. Here’s an opportunity to own an historically significant item early in the game.

Two anti-Semitic soft-cover books published in early 1940s, ‘Die Juden in USA,’ and ‘De Juden in Nederland.’ USA Book (7"x10") contains more than 100 photographs of American public figures whom the book suggests are Jewish, based on unflattering photographs (Frances Perkins!). Politicians, financiers and Hollywood folks all get the treatment. Nederland book (6"x8¾”) is 63 pages with extensive text in Dutch and numerous unflattering photos. Similar to USA book, this work was intended to convince Dutch about ‘evils of Jews.’ USA book has been nibbled by something at upper right (affects some of content); Nederland volume has aging and wear, but overall good condition. 570

Most of the illustrations, by noted cartoonist Philipp Rupprecht (pen name ‘Fips’) were subsequently used in ‘Der Stuermer.’ Caricatures of each of the 25 men feature stereotypical large noses, hirsute arms and gigantic lips that cast Jews in worst light possible. Includes slovenly artist, screaming politician, idiotic-looking rabbi, fat grubbing banker and unattractive nude, dubbed ‘the naked truth.’ Forward begins with commitment to ‘battle against the Jews.’ Cover faults, including small tear and staining along spine. All 25 images pristine other than some edge dings. Rare. 567

Card (4½”x2¾”) signed at bottom by Arnold and bears rubber-stamped markings of RCMP Commissioner S.T. Wood and security officer Herbert H. Smellie (reverse). Although card is signed by Arnold, its significance outweighs his autograph.

The conference was attended by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Differences between U.S. and British strategists about coordination of Italian campaign with Operation Overlord (planned Normandy Invasion) were not resolved and had to be settled at meetings in Moscow, Tehran and Cairo later that year. Light toning and soiling. Fine.
