BEATLES Outstanding, uninscribed first pressing of Please Please Me

7001. Beatles Signed ‘Please Please Me’ Album. Incredibly desirable 1963 Parlophone mono first pressing Please

Please Me album boldly signed on the reverse in blue and black ballpoint, “Best wishes from the Beatles, John Lennon,” “Paul McCartney,” “George Harrison,” and “Ringo Starr.” In very good condition, with heavy creases to edges, scattered stains and soiling, a few edge tears, and a removed unidentified ink signature to the lower left; the Beatles’s signatures are essentially unaffected by any of the cover’s flaws. The record is not included. Seeking to capitalize on the success of their ‘Please Please Me’ and ‘Love Me Do’ singles, the Beatles recorded the majority of this album in a single day and Parlophone rush-released it on March 22, 1963. Before long the Beatles topped the UK charts and took off as an international sensation. A spectacular, uninscribed and fully signed example of their first album. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $2500

Highly-coveted A Hard Day’s Night album cover

7002. Beatles Signed ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ Album Cover. Fantastic and ex-

tremely rare unlaminated front cover to the band’s A Hard Day’s Night album presented to a stewardess on The Beatles’ flight from London to Liverpool on July 10, 1964, signed in black ballpoint by John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr, with each band member signing on the line of his image.

Scattered edge and corner creases, otherwise fine condition.

Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, which reads, in part: “This flat…was actually a factory pressed cardboard printed front cover of the ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ LP, before being fully constructed into an LP cover (after which a thick, heavy laminate was applied to the front cover). All four have autographed the item beautifully in black ballpoint pen…The fact that it had not yet had the heavy laminate applied in the LP construction process allowed for signing, thus making it an extremely rare front signed Beatles album cover. This item is similar in every way to others which have surfaced which were signed on July 10, 1964, for stewardesses who worked for British Eagle Airlines who were working on the Beatles’ flight from London to their hometown of Liverpool to attend the Northern Premiere of their first feature film…

The Beatles gifted the stewardesses working the round-trip same-day flight with a signed album flat as a ‘thank you’ for the good service they provided on that day…One of the photos taken on that day depicts some of the stewardesses holding other album flats, while Paul McCartney is getting ready to board the plane.” Also included are five second-generation photos from July 10, 1964, including the photo mentioned in Caiazzo’s letter.

En route to Liverpool Town Hall for a civic reception held in their honor, The Beatles encountered a throng of over 200,000 people packed between Speke airport and the motorcade course heading to the event; the outpouring was so overwhelming that the band have been cited as saying that it was the greatest reception of their career. Following this unprecedented celebration, the Beatles managed to skirt their way to Liverpool’s Odeon Cinema for the northern premiere of their first full-length film. Additionally, the movie’s soundtrack was also released on this date, and it spared precious little time skyrocketing to number one on the charts. Only a very limited number of these covers were signed by the band on the flight—likely less than five—elevating this cover to the pinnacle of Fab Four-signed memorabilia. Pre-certified REAL.

Exceptionally vivid Sgt. Pepper’s album signed

by John, Paul, and Ringo 7003. Beatles ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ Signed Album. Rare and outstanding UK mono

pressing of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album signed on the inner gatefold in black ballpoint by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and John Lennon, who signs his first name only and adds “X.” In fine condition, with trivial wear to upper left corner tip, and the Starr and McCartney signatures a shade light. The record is included. Accompanied by three contemporary reprints of photos taken at time of signing; two identical images of McCartney, and one of Starr. Also accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a letter of provenance from the original recipient, Carole Wilson.

The signatures were obtained outside of E.M.I.’s Abbey Road Studios on June 23, 1967, following rehearsals for the Beatles’ scheduled appearance on Our World, the world’s first live satellite–television broadcast and a production that would reach an estimated international audience of 400 million. Featuring other creative artists like Maria Callas and Pablo Picasso, the show culminated with the Beatles’ orchestra-supported performance of ‘All You Need Is Love.’ Composed exclusively for the recordbreaking showcase, the song was created as an opportunity to spread a message of love during the height of the Vietnam War. Despite the absence of George Harrison’s signature, this gorgeously maintained and visually appealing Sgt. Pepper’s album is enhanced by its great associative content and rock solid provenance, and marks the first time we’ve offered this landmark record with a set of three Beatles signatures.

Rare fully signed photo from their Best days

7004. Beatles Signed Photograph. Very early vintage semiglossy 5.5 x 3.5 photo of the Beatles with Pete Best, signed

and inscribed on the reverse in blue ballpoint, “Love to Doreen, from John Lennon, xxx,” “To Doreen, love, Paul McCartney, xxx,” “To Doreen—love from George (Harrison), xxxxxx,” and “Lots of love—to Doreen, Pete Best, xxx.” Crazing to the emulsion on the front, and soiling and typed notations to the reverse, otherwise fine condition. Best only played with the Beatles from August 1960 through August 1962, before being replaced by Ringo Starr. This is the first time we have encountered this wonderful youthful pose which is a truly exceptional example of the Beatles in one of their earliest incarnations. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $1000

Superior Hoffmann signed while in NYC for Ed Sullivan

7005. Beatles Signed Photograph. Magnificent vintage glossy 10 x 8 photo of the band in their iconic gray collarless

suits, signed in February 1964 in blue ballpoint by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Reverse bears the photographer’s stamp of Dezo Hoffmann. In very good condition, with scattered creases, a few short tears and staple holes to edges, and the first half of McCartney’s signature quite light due to poor ink flow. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, in part: “This photograph was signed in February of 1964, during The Beatles’ first historic visit to New York. The signatures were obtained by Marty Ostrow, the editor of Cashbox magazine, who met The Beatles at the Plaza Hotel—where they were staying during their time in New York—which adds tremendously to desirability, being a scarce and highly coveted ‘first visit’ set of autographs.” In order to compete with larger music magazines like Billboard, Cashbox covered more of the international music scene and had picked up on the Beatles before most other American publications. When the Beatles came to New York, Ostrow was invited to meet the band and George Martin to show appreciation for his magazine’s generous early coverage. As an iconic original Dezo Hoffman photograph with solid provenance and most desirable size, this is an absolutely outstanding piece. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $1000

Exceedingly rare 1969 Beatles documents as they record Abbey Road

7006. Beatles Set of Four Signed Documents.

Remarkable collection of four stock transfer documents, signed individually in black ballpoint, “John Lennon,” “Paul McCartney,” “George Harrison,” and “R. Starkey,” each one page, 8 x 13, all stamp-dated July 30, 1969. The documents are related to the acquisition of the late Brian Epstein’s famous NEMS management company (then renamed Nemperor Holdings) by Triumph Investment, with each member of the Beatles transferring 2,450 of their own shares in Nemperor to the brokerage house Whyte, Brecher & Gasc Limited. All of the documents are filled out in type with each band member’s home address, bear Triumph Investment ink stamps in the lower right, as well as embossed tax seals in the margins.

Additionally includes two similar stock transfer documents, one signed by Brian Epstein’s younger brother Clive Epstein, stamp-dated April 1, 1969, and one signed by their mother Queenie Epstein, stamp-dated February 19, 1969. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by three letters of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, in part: “Beatles signatures on anything from the year 1969 are extremely rare

8 BEATLES

and desirable. These relate directly to complicated business affairs that were happening just as the band was about to break up.”

After Brian Epstein passed away in 1967, his family inherited NEMS and rolled it into a larger company called Nemperor Holdings. As the business manager, Clive Epstein refused a purchase offer from Triumph Investments, believing the Beatles had the true right to the company. Arranging the finances for a such a buyout became a seemingly endless ordeal—the Beatles hoped to get a loan from EMI against their royalties—and Clive finally sold out to Triumph. Related to this complicated acquisition process, the present stock transfer documents were signed while the Beatles were in EMI Studios putting the finishing touches on their final album, Abbey Road.

On the very same day, July 30, 1969, John recorded lead guitar overdubs on ‘Come Together’ and the band completed their first full mix-down on the famous Abbey Road medley. A superior, rarely seen full set of significant Beatles documents from this late period. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $1000

Signed while en route to Miami for their second Ed Sullivan appearance

7007. Beatles Signed Menu. American Airlines beverage menu from 1964, measuring 7 x 7 open, signed and inscribed

on the left side in blue ballpoint, “To Andy Fyall and the children, from John Lennon,” “Paul McCartney,” “George Harrison,” and “and best wishes to Debbie, Ringo Starr, xx.” Light creases, some tape remnants to edges (toned tape to one corner affecting the first letter in Lennon’s inscription), and a couple small edge tears affecting nothing, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks, as well as a January 25, 2004 article from the The Mail on Sunday revealing that the mystery child who sat atop Lennon’s shoulders on a late winter afternoon in New York’s Central Park was Debbie Waugh, the recipient’s then five-year-old daughter. Fyall, a New York–based British correspondent for the Daily Express, covered The Beatles’ first visit to the USA in February 1964 and obtained these autographs on February 13, 1964, when the Beatles were traveling by airplane from New York to Miami for their second appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Rare 1965 letter from the boys to their US tour biographer 7008. Beatles Typed Letter Signed. TLS signed by all four, one

onionskin page, 8 x 10, NEMS Enterprises letterhead, September 6, 1965.

Letter to WFUN Miami disc jockey Larry Kane. In full: “We just thought that we would write to you all and say thanks very much for your help on the tour. We enjoyed it and appreciated your patience and co-operation. Hope to see you next year.” Signed at the conclusion in blue ballpoint by John Lennon, “John 36-2436,” Paul McCartney, “Paul McKane,” George Harrison, “George (say hello to Buddy for us),” and Ringo Starr, “Ringo.”

In fine condition, with light mailing folds passing through Harrison and Starr, and a soft diagonal vertical crease passing though the text but not affecting the signatures. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks, as well as a letter of provenance from Kane, in part: “I was 21 and a friendship based on journalistic fairness from the beginning, forged a genuine bond...

Prior to 1965, through their appearance at Shea Stadium, and with Ed Sullivan Productions, they invited me to do all the pre-and post audio interviews used on the movie ‘The Beatles At Shea Stadium,’ a documentary...I received the letter 5 days after the end of the of the 65 tour. With the exception of Ringo, there are all personalized references.”

Kane got to know the band quite well as the only broadcast journalist to travel to every stop on the Beatles’ 1964 and 1965 tours, and has since authored several books on the band. This friendship is evident in the present letter—they are on a first name basis, and McCartney playfully adopts Kane’s surname when signing. Harrison’s parenthetical refers to Sgt. Buddy Dresner of the Miami Police Department who was assigned to guard the Beatles when they visited Miami in February 1964. It was here that they made their second television appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, with a February 16, 1964, performance broadcast live from the Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach. A superlative fully signed letter to the foremost witness of Beatlemania.

Central horizontal fold and show-through from adhesive to reverse (not affecting the bold signatures), otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a 2013 letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, who states that “autograph sets from 1967 are extremely desirable, and also quite scarce, as The Beatles were rarely ever out in public together after they ceased touring in August of 1966.”

Caiazzo notes that the signatures were obtained on September 21, 1967, at the West Malling airfield in Kent, England when The Beatles were filming outdoor sequences for their Magical Mystery Tour film. A scarce combination of Beatles signatures from their distant post touring years. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $500

Paul and John original sketches 7022. Paul McCartney and John Lennon Signed Sketches. Two

original sketches, both done by an admirer who has signed both of the works as well as adding the names of each subject, on individual off-white 9 x 12 sheets of sketch paper.

One, a pencil sketch of Lennon sporting long hair and his trademark round glasses, signed in person vertically in blue ballpoint, “John Lennon,” adding a quick self-caricature under his signature. A pencil notation on the reverse, presumably by the artist, states that Lennon’s signature was obtained at the “Carlyle Hotel, Sgt. Pepper Premiere Night, 11-17-74.”

Interestingly, the collector noted that Lennon said “you sketched me, I’ll sketch for you.”; the other, a pencil and ink sketch of a bearded McCartney, signed in person in black ballpoint. The McCartney signature was obtained on November 23, 1974, at the Stanhope Hotel in New York City. In fine condition.

Notoriously scarce complete set of original signed Bag One lithographs

7032. John Lennon Complete Set of Signed ‘Bag One’ Lithographs. Complete set of 15 original ‘Bag One’ lithographs, each of which has been hand-signed in pencil by Lennon and measures approximately 23 x 30; also included is the same-sized, unsigned limitation sheet, numbered 224/300. Set is presented in its original 23.25 x 30.25 hardcover portfolio, housed in the famous white, heavy-duty vinyl 32 x 35 Bag One folio carrying case (which has been tastefully cleaned; the embossed ‘Bag One’ and Lennon’s facsimile signature remain untouched). In fine condition, with some trivial corner creasing to the near-pristine lithographs. Limited to 300 sets, this set being No. 224, each lithograph was individually numbered and signed in pencil by Lennon. The exhibition of the photographs in New York and London caused quite a controversy due to the erotic nature of eight of the lithographs. In London, the lithographs on exhibition were confiscated by Scotland Yard on the charge that they were pornography rather than art. Lennon was later exonerated by the British courts, but many of the prints were mishandled and never returned. Art galleries have been known to list these lithographs individually for $18–20 thousand.

Lennon signs for lucky ‘Across the Universe’ Apple scruff 7034. John Lennon Signature. Ballpoint signature,

“To Lizi, John Lennon,” on an off-white 4.25 x 6.25 lightlylined notebook page, with Lennon having made an earlier attempt to sign his last name above, and a collector’s date notation below; two underlying pages removed from the notebook are included beneath. Double-matted, and framed with a photo of Lennon, a patch and small image of the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover, and an engraved plate with collector’s information to an overall size of 19.25 x 16.25. Some soiling to edges and corners, and bits of paper loss to frayed left edge, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a handwritten letter of provenance from former Apple Scruff Lizzie Bravo, as well as two typed copies, reading, in part: “Denise asked John to sign for me outside of EMI Studios on February 2nd, 1967, at 1:30 am.

She mailed me the autograph to Rio. Since the pen didn’t work well, she also sent the next two pages from her notebook, where you can still see the autograph—he had to write really hard to make it work!” Also accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo. Nicknamed by George Harrison for their dedicated gatherings outside of the Apple Corps building and at the gates of Abbey Road Studios, the Apple Scruffs were devoted fans who sought interaction with the band members throughout latter-day Beatlemania. Along with Gayleen Pease, Bravo was one of two fortunate Apple Scruffs to have been handpicked by Paul McCartney to lend backing vocals to the 1968 song ‘Across the Universe.’ Pre-certified REAL.

John and Yoko’s benefit concert “Audience must not be ‘loaded’ with ‘officials’—(Mayors and Kennedys)”

7035. John Lennon Handwritten Note. Handwritten notes by both John Lennon and Yoko Ono, one page, 8 x 12.75,

no date but circa 1969. Notes to Derek Taylor, the press officer for the Beatles who remained close to Lennon long after the band’s breakup. Lennon pens the first three lines in black felt tip, in full: “Audience must not be ‘loaded’ with ‘officials’—(Mayors and Kennedys) it must be mainly kids and critics. Any charity bits (the gate) only to be known after the event.” Yoko continues with the next three lines: “Don’t explain us—John & Yoko. None of Yoko is a good artist bit they ought to know by know.” Lennon then concludes with the final three lines: “Tickets shouldn’t be too expensive and none of that all Bernsteins and such likes kids getting the ‘best’ seats at the zoo.” Pencil and ballpoint notes are written below in another hand. Intersecting folds, scattered creases, and a few small tears and holes (not affecting the Lennon/Ono portion of the page), otherwise fine condition.

Though unclear which show these notes refer to, many of Lennon’s post-Beatles concerts were for the benefit of causes he supported—a Christmas concert in aid of UNICEF, a rally for the imprisoned John Sinclair, a benefit for families of the victims of the Attica State Prison riot, and a fundraiser for Willowbrook State School were among these. A fabulous piece that combines Lennon’s quick wit with his political inclinations. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $300

A great piece with prominent signatures and a large sketch by the musical legend. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $300

Ringo’s stylish suit jacket from Help!

7038. Ringo Starr’s HELP Screen-worn Jacket.

Ringo Starr’s screen-worn jacket from the 1965 film Help! The predominantly black wool double-breasted suit jacket bears soft gray vertical line patterns, a keystone layout of six black buttons, and four more on the end of each cuff. A D.A. Millings & Sons label sewn inside the inner right pocket, “Ringo,” and a costume notation in an unknown hand on the upper lining of the right sleeve reads, “Ringo No. 1.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a letter of provenance from the original recipient, reading, in part: “Since the late 1950’s I have been a friend of the Starkey–Graves family. Ringo or Ritchie as he was known to us and his girlfriend was one of a group of friends socializing together…During the sixties while visiting Ringo’s parents Elsie and Harry I was given a suit which I was informed had been worn by Ringo in the film Help.” Also accompanied by an unsigned glossy 7.25 x 9.5 photo Ringo wearing the jacket in the film, and a pair of screenshots of Starr from the film.

This dapper suit jacket is clearly visible during a pivotal sequence in Help! in which Ringo frets over a ring secretly entrusted to him by Ahme, a mysterious high priestess. Once confronted and told of the danger the sacrificial ring carries, Ringo desperately tries to remove it, but is unable. Only with the help of his fellow Beatles and the beautiful Ahme does Ringo find the means and courage to unfasten the accursed red jewel. Making a brief yet seminal appearance in the Fab Four’s second film, this immaculately kempt and tailored suit jacket is a modish and highly desirable piece of rock–cinema history.

Elvis’s riot shotgun, emblazoned with his initials and TCB

7085. Elvis Presley Personally-owned Shotgun. Elvis Presley’s personally-owned Flite King

Riot Model K-10, 12 ga., no serial number (manufactured before 1968), 20˝ barrel, fine bore. Pump-action shotgun features a pistol grip and front bead sight. Gun has been customized by Presley with his initials and lightning bolts on both sides of the receiver, and his TCB—Taking Care of Business—monogram and lightning bolts on both sides of the stock. In fine condition, with some light surface scratches to the stock and some light wear and chipping to portions of the gold appliques. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Jimmy Velvet of the Elvis Presley Museum, which reads, in full: “Elvis Presley personalized TCB shotgun. Flite King riot model K-10 high standard shotgun, with initials ‘EP’ on either side of the shotgun. This was the personal property of Elvis Presley.”

An avid gun collector, Presley amassed many firearms by the time of his death in 1977. He shared this affinity with his friends, gifting a Walther PPK to Hawaii Five-O’s Jack Lord, and famously presenting President Richard Nixon a nickel-plated Colt .45 in exchange for a badge from the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Although an enthusiast, the ‘King’s’ careless handling of firearms is also widely known, including an instance of shooting a television when Robert Goulet appeared on screen. This shotgun is particularly attractive, as it incorporates the name of Presley’s band and motto ‘Taking Care of Business,’ with the same logo used on Presley’s jewelry and touring plane. Presley’s firearms are seldom offered for sale at auction, and when they are, they routinely outsell almost all other Presley-owned or -used memorabilia. This transfers as a modern firearm.

Reverse bears a Sven Oredson photographer’s stamp. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance, and full letters of authenticity from PSA/DNA and Tracks. After five tiring months spent recording Are You Experienced at London’s De Lane Lea and Olympic Studios, the Jimi Hendrix Experience set off on a legendary tour of Europe to promote their debut album. Two weeks after its release, the band made their first stop in Stockholm, Sweden, performing at the Grona Lund Amusement Park on May 24, 1967, the concert at which this photo was taken. Hendrix and company returned to the amusement park months later on September 4, which is when a park employee, Rosita, was able to obtain this autograph. The consignor notes that Hendrix’s notation of “Rosetta,” was a playful attempt to anglify her name. Poised on the brink of legendary status, Hendrix’s soulful essence is vividly captured in this photo, with its large and bold signature adding to the item’s already immense appeal.

Fantastic 1968 uninscribed magazine cover 7092. Jimi Hendrix Experience Signed Magazine Cover.

Cover from the May 27, 1968, issue of the German magazine Pop with an image of Hendrix smoking, 7.25 x 10.75, signed at the top in black felt tip by Jimi Hendrix, blue felt tip by Mitch Mitchell, and blue ballpoint by Noel Redding. In very good condition, with trimmed edges and moderate overall creasing.

Also met with critical acclaim, Hendrix was declared the Artist of the Year by Billboard and Rolling Stone named him Performer of the Year. Although he did not perform in Germany in 1968, he played six shows there in January 1969 and would unfortunately make his final concert appearance there at the Isle of Fehmarn Festival on September 6, 1970. An appealing and highly desirable fully signed piece from the group that changed rock forever. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $500

Edge of spine peeled from front cover (covers remain firmly attached), otherwise fine condition; signed pages remain crisp and clean. Accompanied by an unsigned program for a concert headlined by the Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Who at London’s Saville Theater on January 29, 1967, and a photo of Hendrix and The Who posing backstage at the concert. Produced by Beatles manager Brian Epstein, this legendary show featured two of the world’s leading musical acts, with two members of each presumedly signing this autograph book on that late January night, an evening which marked the first and last time Jimi Hendrix and his newly formed band would open for The Who. Months later at the Monterey Pop Festival, the two groups would share the stage for the second and final time, with Hendrix losing a coin toss to perform as the follow-up act. Unfortunately for The Who, Hendrix would go on to play one of the best and most controversial shows of his short career, dousing his guitar in lighter fuel and setting it aflame before hurling it into the audience. An uncommon union of members from two of the most influential groups in rock history. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $300

Hendrix was eventually acquitted of the charges on December 8, 1969, as it was believed that a fan may have planted the drugs in his travel bag. Oversized. Starting Bid $300 44 JIMI HENDRIX

In full: “Sorry not to have written sooner. It doesn’t seem like I’ve been here this long. We’ve been travelling—in Spain, (Granada was best) Morocco, Southern France & Corsica—where I lost my jacket, money etc. & had to fly back to Paris to wait for more.

Say hello to everyone & try to get over here.” Includes the original mailing envelope addressed in Morrison’s hand. In fine condition.

After the Doors finished recording LA Woman in March 1971 to complete their Elektra contract, Morrison left the band for Paris to begin a new phase of his life. Recalling the romance of the city from a visit in 1970, Morrison deemed it an ideal environment to break from the rock-and-roll lifestyle and concentrate on writing poetry. His longtime girlfriend Pamela Courson had gone ahead to Paris in mid-February to sort out their living arrangements, with Morrison to arrive a month later. The recipients of this letter, Frank and Katherine Lisciandro, were close to Morrison and accompanied him to the airport on March 10, 1971 for his intended flight, with the understanding that they would would meet up with him

Original mailing envelope addressed in Morrison’s hand in Paris in a few months and possibly travel through Europe together; Jim’s actual departure was delayed a day when he missed the March 10th boarding call. Katherine, who worked as the Door’s secretary, recalls that Morrison called the band’s office from Paris in April or May and asked when she and Frank were coming to visit, hoping it would be soon. He also mentioned he was not feeling great and was seeing a doctor.

Unfortunately, Morrison passed away in Paris shortly before the Lisciandros were to visit, leaving the present letter as his last direct contact with two of his closest friends. It is one of just two known Morrison letters written from Paris, the other to Doors accountant Bob Greene concerning business matters.

As a supremely rare letter by one of the most iconic frontmen in the history of rock music, this is a truly impressive piece.

crisply signed on the front cover in blue ballpoint by Jimmy Page, and on the back cover in blue ballpoint

by Robert Plant, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones. In fine condition. The record is not included. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a letter of provenance from the original recipient, reading, in part: “After the concert ended the band left the stage followed by the bouncer. The bouncer then came back across the stage over to us and said Led Zeppelin had invited us backstage to meet…I remember Robert Plant seemed to take a fancy to me (I was 17 years old at the time) and we ‘snogged’ and he chatted for a while. He said he’d like to take me home—I didn’t know if he was serious or not but I had a boyfriend…so I just laughed it off.

However he signed my LP cover and kindly passed it to the rest of the band.” Obtained backstage at the Liverpool Stadium on November 29, 1971, this remarkable album is perhaps the most pristine fully signed example we’ve ever offered, and made rarer still by the generational attitude, a period in which autograph-seeking had grown passe within musical and counterculture fandom. A true piece of rock history signed by all four original band members while the band were on tour promoting their newest material, the landmark Led Zeppelin IV album. Pre-certified REAL.

larry rafferty collection With a penchant for autographs of jazz and blues greats from throughout music history, Larry Rafferty has spent a lifetime assembling one of the most diverse and impressive collections around.

He was first inspired to collect in the 1970s when he uncovered a 1920s Okeh Records promo still signed by Louis Armstrong, and has continued the hunt for such treasures to today. After emerging as one of the hobby’s most prolific collectors, he became one of its most respected dealers—now known by his customers around the globe as ‘Mr. Bebop.’ Two decades ago, Rafferty started selling out of necessity, making space for new finds as his collection grew, in a venture that has evolved into one of today’s prime sources for art and music material. With his impending retirement and retreat from the business, several of the gems of Rafferty’s collection were offered in our Spring and Fall 2014 Marvels of Modern Music Auctions, shattering previous sales records for rare jazz and blues autographs. Now available in our July 2015 Marvels of Modern Music Auction is a continuation of select offerings from this highly sought-after collection.

The Who By Numbers signed during Moon’s final tour 7248. The Who Signed Album. Scarce The Who

By Numbers album signed on the back cover in blue ballpoint by Pete Townshend, and in black ballpoint by Keith Moon, Roger Daltrey, and John Entwistle. In fine condition, with light toning to left edge and red spot of discoloration to front (in no way affecting the signatures).

The record is included.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, reading, in part: “I was in the music business at the time, as a managing partner in four music stores in Colorado and Wyoming. I was invited backstage at the Who’s concert to meet them as part of MCA’s ongoing effort to maintain good relationships with regional stores selling their product…I succeeded in my effort to get every member to sign the album. Keith Moon was fairly ‘altered’ by that time, but signed anyway. The rest of the guys were cordial and cooperative. Obviously, I was a little starstruck, because I got the back signed instead of the front.” Obtained following a concert at the McNichols Sports Arena in Denver on March 30, 1976, fully signed The Who albums from this period remain exceptionally rare, with this example serving as one of the most appealing we have encountered. HIghlighted by the elusive Keith Moon, who would pass away two years later from a drug overdose, this record is further enhanced by its wonderfully fresh appearance and brilliant signatures.

the punk rock collection of chris lamy W

hile stadium ballads and synth-heavy dance tracks dominated much of the 1980s, the pulse of punk rock thrived around the Boston area underground—and Chris Lamy was at its center. A participant in New England’s counterculture music scene, the Granite State guitarist toured and caroused with the Jabbers and their volatile frontman GG Allin throughout the early eighties, playing countless shows and meeting a wealth of eclectic artists, the most notable of which being Ramones guitarist, John Cummings, better known as Johnny Ramone.

Chris and Johnny befriended in the winter of 1980, and bonded over music, movies, and baseball. They hung out at the Zig Zag Lounge and at Cummings’s 22nd Street apartment in New York, and then, of course, at shows. By his own account, Lamy has seen the Ramones perform approximately 200 times. He was personally acquainted with several of the band’s crew members and art director Arturo Vega; they fondly referred to Lamy as ‘Lamby’ or ‘Lamb Eyes.’ Chris and Johnny remained close throughout the Ramones’ eventual breakup and Johnny’s retirement in California—their friendship is mentioned in Monte Melnick’s book ‘On the Road With The Ramones.’

The expansive Chris Lamy collection and its peerless archive of punk rock history takes center stage in our July Marvels of Modern Music Auction. In addition to names like The Sex Pistols, Black Flag, The Clash, and the notorious punk act GG Allin and the Jabbers—a band for which Lamy played guitar in the 80s and its later incarnation, The Jabbers, from 1999 to present day—this compendium contains what is assuredly one of the most inclusive ensembles of Ramones ephemera to hit the auction block. Featuring Johnny Ramone’s customdesigned, stage and video–used 1980 Hamer guitar, a plethora of signed vinyl, a stage-used Ramones concert set-list, and vivid, never-before-displayed posters, there is no shortage of colorful and uncommon pieces in this neverbefore-offered assemblage.

personally-owned and -used white Hamer electric guitar custom-made in May 1980 by Hamer founder Jol Dantzig, based on the company’s ‘Special’ model with modifications per Ramone’s requests and specifications. The guitar is stamped on the reverse of the headstock with its special serial number, “X X0#¢,” and is accompanied by a copy of the Hamer manufacturer’s log book entry stamped with the identical serial number, noting that it is a custom piece for Johnny Ramone to be white with beveled edges, a thin neck, and thin body. The primary modifications from a stock version of the guitar were made to reduce weight and offer more comfort, including a thinner sculpted body, thinner neck, and aluminum bridge. It was finished in a bright white lacquer which has slightly yellowed over time. Includes the original hardshell case. In fine condition, with aforementioned mild toning to finish, as well as some crazing and cracks to the lacquer.

I approached Johnny Ramone about constructing custom instruments for him beginning in 1978…After working out some details with Johnny, the first instrument was delivered later that year, but Johnny wanted a few changes on the next one so I agreed to meet with him at a concert venue near Chicago to develop a second version. The resulting instrument Hamer serial No. X X0#¢ was completed in May of 1980…Johnny was sufficiently pleased as to allow Hamer to feature his endorsement and photo with the guitar for print magazine advertisements.” Also includes a copy of Trouser Press magazine from June 1982, featuring an image of Ramone playing this guitar in a Hamer advertisement inside, as well as a photo of him playing it on stage. Johnny Ramone can also be seen playing this white Hamer in their video for Psychotherapy.

Hampshire, handwritten in black felt tip on the reverse of a brown 7.25 x 10.5 memo sheet from the Sheraton Inn. The set includes twenty-five songs and two encores, with the band playing an extra six songs in total; a single notation on the front, achieved in thicker felt tip, notes the song “R & Radio,” although spelled differently, for a second time. Also included is a separate Sheraton Inn memo sheet, with handwritten notations on the reverse, inaccurately citing the location as “Hampton Bays,” with mentions of “Pleasent [sic] Dreams,” the album the band was promoting, and “Drug Addicts” and “First McDonalds,” unknown themes that may have coincided with burgeoning commercial pressures and Dee Dee’s ongoing substance abuse. In overall very good condition, with wear and scattered creasing from use, and a tear to upper edge of the “Hampton Bays” sheet. Consignor notes that the set list was taped to Joey Ramone’s stage monitor and that the scattered dampstaining was caused by the vocalist’s excessive sweating; both sheets were obtained following the concert. Accompanied by three unsigned photos from the concert—two of Johnny Ramone rocking out, and another of Joey standing behind the aforementioned stage monitor. Comprised of a number of hit singles and crowd favorites, this incredibly rare handwritten Ramones set list—ordered by Johnny Ramone and written out by a crew member—carves out its own small space in the annals of New England punk rock history.

punk rock Strummer’s Fender Strat used on Earthquake Weather, his first solo album 7505. The Clash: Joe Strummer’s Guitar. Strummer’s

personally-owned and -used black-bodied Fender Squier Telecaster electric guitar. Made in Japan circa 1985–86, the guitar is serial numbered A001112 on the neck plate, and bears a Joe Strummer & the Latino Rockabilly War sticker affixed to the body, with remnants of two other stickers to the body and black pickguard. It exhibits heavy overall wear from frequent use, and known to have been utilized by Strummer during recording sessions for both the Gross Pointe Blank soundtrack and his solo album, Earthquake Weather, recorded during 1988-89. With the Clash having disintegrated in the mid-1980s, this instrument represents a trying period in Strummer’s musical life. Now, having moved to Los Angeles to record and pursue a career in Hollywood. While working on the Grosse Pointe Blank soundtrack, Strummer struggled and worked tirelessly with his band, as well as close friend Gerry Harrington, to expose himself to other sounds as motivation to complete the recording. The album was well-received by critics, bridging nicely from Strummer’s time with the Clash and into his next project, the Mescaleros. Acquired directly from Harrington, this guitar represents the re-emergence of Strummer after his time with the Clash. Oversized. Starting Bid $1000

1980s Original Sunset Sound work order form for Prince’s landmark Purple Rain album 7511. Prince Signed Document.

Amazing DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, September 14, 1983. An original work order for the recording of “’Purple Rain’” at Hollywood’s Sunset Sound, listing Prince as the artist, producer, and engineer. The work description details studio time, outboard equipment, materials used, and Sunset personnel, and totals to “1,938.90.” Signed at the conclusion in pencil, “Prince.” In fine condition, with a single set of staple holes and minor crease to upper left corner.

Accompanied by a copy of a certificate of authenticity from Sunset Sound and Sound Factory. Intent on making the title song to the Purple Rain soundtrack as personal and dramatic as he possibly could, Prince recorded the original track at a live concert on August 3, 1983, at Minneapolis’ First Avenue Club. Following the show the tapes were sent to Studio 3 at the LA-based Sunset Sound to be looked over by engineers David Z and David Leonard, two men who would assist in final edits and the recording of the song’s included string arrangement.

But it was Prince, who, in the words of Leonard, was ultimately ‘driving the bus,’ and would definitively shape both song and album. Purple Rain, the eponymously titled soundtrack for Prince’s 1984 movie debut, was also the first album to feature the Revolution as an officially credited back-up group, a distinction that added a denser, more dynamic scope to Prince’s eclectic brand of R&B and pop rock. The album’s innovative charms resulted in widespread acclaim and numerous awards for Prince, who became the first singer to simultaneously hold the No. 1 album, single, and film in the US. An impeccably maintained order form displaying the various production efforts involved in creating an album that is consistently ranked as one of music’s greatest. Pre-certified REAL.

The following terms and conditions (“Conditions of Sale”) constitute the sole terms and conditions under which RR Auction will offer for sale and sell the property described in the catalog of items for auction (the “Catalog”). These Conditions of Sale constitute a binding agreement between the Parties with respect to the auction in which Bidder participates (the “Auction”). By bidding at the Auction, whether in person, through an agent or representative, by telephone, facsimile, online, absentee bid, or by any other form of bid or by any other means, Bidder acknowledges the thorough reading and understanding of all of these Conditions of Sale, all descriptions of items in the Catalog, and all matters incorporated herein by reference, and agrees to be fully bound thereby. This acknowledgement is a material term of these Conditions of Sale and of the consideration under which RR Auction agrees to these terms.

RR Auction and Auction: This Auction is presented by RR Auction, a d/b/a/ of R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC, as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the Catalog or on the www.RRauction.com Internet site (“RRauction.com”). The Auction is conducted under these Conditions of Sale. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog.

Bidder: Bidder shall mean the original Bidder on the property offered for sale by RR Auction and not any subsequent owner or other person who may acquire or have acquired an interest therein. If Bidder is an agent, the agency must be disclosed in writing to RR Auction prior to the time of sale, otherwise the benefits of the warranty shall be limited to the agent and not transferable to the undisclosed principal.

The rights granted to Bidder under these Conditions of Sale are personal and may not be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise without the express written assent of RR Auction. Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey these Conditions of Sale or any of the rights herein, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. No third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred on any Bidder by these Conditions of Sale, and no third party is intended as a beneficiary of these Conditions of Sale.

Bids will not be accepted from minor persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent’s written consent containing an acknowledgment of the Conditions of Sale herein and indicating their agreement to be bound thereby on behalf of the Bidder.

All Bidders must meet RR Auction’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of RR Auction may be disqualified at RR Auction’s sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by RR Auction in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. RR Auction reserves the right to exclude any person from the Auction.

If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on be-

half of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid.

By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment.

Credit: In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with RR Auction must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply additional information if requested, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders who are not members of RRAuction.com should preregister before the close of the Auction to allow adequate time to contact references. Credit will be granted at the discretion of RR Auction. Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social security number, or the last four digits thereof, so a credit check may be performed prior to RR Auction’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by preapproval of credit based on a combination of criteria: RRAuction. com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the Auction venue.

Buyer’s Premium: The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 22.5% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed Auctions (the “Buyer’s Timed Premium”), and a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on live Auctions (the “Buyer’s Live Premium,” together with the Buyer’s Timed Premium, the “Buyer’s Premium”). For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received

by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later.

All purchases delivered to Massachusetts are subject to applicable Massachusetts sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number.

Bidding: Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s), rather than the strict reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF VALUATION CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES. RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a reoffering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing. RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder.

Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Consignor, or assignee of Consignor, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by Bidder. RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder.

It is the Bidder’s responsibility and obligation to have the lots fully insured while in their possession. Bidder assumes any and all RISK OF LOSS once the lot(s) is in Bidder’s possession.

Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction a purchase money security interest in such sums or items to the extent applicable, and agrees to execute such documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest. Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. The authorized representative of any corporate Bidder who is present at the sale shall provide RR Auction or its agent, prior to the commencement of the bidding (or at the time of registration), with a statement signed by a principal, director or officer that they he or she personally and unconditionally guarantees any payment due RR Auction.

RR Auction may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors and/or prospective Bidders.

In the event of a successful challenge to the title to any goods purchased pursuant to these Conditions of Sale and the exclusive remedies provided herein, RR Auction agrees to reimburse any Bidder in an amount equal to the successful bid price actually paid

by Bidder at auction plus any Buyer’s Premium actually paid, in full and complete satisfaction of all claims, which once tendered by RR Auction, relieves and releases RR Auction from any responsibility whatsoever to the Bidder, even if the instrument is not cashed or is returned.

Bidding Options: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to in-person, facsimile, phone and mail bids) are treated similarly to floor bids in that they must be on-increment. Any in-person, facsimile, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full increment and this revised amount will be considered Bidder’s high bid.

When identical mail or facsimile bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at RR Auction’s place of business at least twenty-four (24) hours before the Auction start. RR Auction is not responsible for executing mail bids or facsimile bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is RR Auction responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins.

In all Auctions, bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10%, or as specified on a per-Auction basis. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted. In a live sale, bids on an item can change at the discretion of RR Auction.

RR Auction reserves the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale.

All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced. Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless RR Auction directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s).

For live auctions, RR Auction will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. RR Auction will

determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale, or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

Payment: Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than thirty (30) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder.

Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot.

All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders), and are subject to all reporting requirements.

All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in RR Auction’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. RR Auction reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten (10) calendar day hold, and ten (10) business days when drawn on an international bank.

Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via e-Check, personal or corporate checks.

In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If Bidder attempts to pay via check and the financial institution denies the transfer from Bidder’s bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, Bidder agrees to complete payment.

If RR Auction refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys.

RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder to secure payment of the Auction invoice. RR Auction is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the Bidder then held by RR Auction or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due RR Auction or affiliates from the Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, RR Auction shall have all the rights of a secured creditor, including but not limited to the right of sale.

In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the Bidder waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against RR Auction and the consignor of the merchandise included

on the invoice (the “Consignor”). If a Bidder owes RR Auction or its affiliates on any account, RR Auction and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in their possession.

All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges: Bidder is liable for shipping and handling. RR Auction is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction.

Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified Customs declarations, to RR Auction for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price and RR Auction shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Bidders on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs.

Title: Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.

Rights Reserved: RR Auction reserves the right to withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction, and/or to postpone the Auction of all or any lots or parts thereof, for any reason. RR Auction shall not be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone.

Conducting the Auction: RR Auction reserves the right to postpone the Auction or any session thereof for a reasonable period of time for any reason whatsoever, and no Bidder or prospective Bidder shall have any claim as a result thereof, including consequential damages.

RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments.

RR Auction has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auction has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful Bidder in the event of a dispute between Bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auction’s record of final sale shall be conclusive. RR Auction also may reject any bid if RR Auction decides either that any bid is below the reserve of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced by RR Auction at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale.

Reserves: Lots may be subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. Consignors may not bid on their own lots or property. RR Auction may, from time to time, bid on items that it does not own.

Off-Site Bidding: Bidding by telephone, facsimile, online, or absentee bidding (advance written bids submitted by mail) are offered solely as a convenience and permitted subject to advance arrangements, avail-

ability, and RR Auction’s approval which shall be exercised at RR Auction’s sole discretion. Neither RR Auction nor its agents or employees shall be held liable for the failure to execute bids or for errors relating to any transmission or execution thereof. In order to be considered for off-site bidding in any manner, Bidders must comply with all of these Conditions of Sale and the terms contained on the Registration Form.

RR Auction’s Remedies: Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of default. In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any property in RR Auction’s possession owned by such Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Warranties: RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold “as is” and “where is”. By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Terminology), authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in the Catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a

good faith effort made by RR Auction to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein; they are statements of opinion only.

They are not representations or warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the Auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices.

Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each lot prior to bidding, and RR Auction urges Bidders to avail themselves accordingly.

All lots sold by RR Auction are accompanied by an Auction Certificate (“AC”). On any lot presented with an AC issued by RR Auction, the certification is only as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage and only as explicitly stated therein (the “Certification of Authenticity”), to the exclusion of any other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to those pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The Certification of Authenticity inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the Certification of Authenticity, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. The Certification of Authenticity is valid from date of the Auction in which Bidder was awarded the lot (the “Auction Date”) until five (5) years after the Auction Date, without exception.

FIREARMS. RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm.

Limitation of Damages: In the event that RR Auction is prevented for any reason from delivering any property to Bidder, or Bidder is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of RR Auction, the liability, if any, of RR Auction, shall be limited to, and shall not exceed, the amount actually paid for the property by Bidder. In no event shall RR Auction be liable for incidental, special, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of profits, value of investment or opportunity cost.

Unauthorized Statements: Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR Auction authorized by RR Auction to modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on a registration form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied upon by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction.

Bidder’s Remedies: Under no circumstance will RR Auction incur liability to a Bidder in excess of the purchase price actually paid.

This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder in conformity with the Warranties and Limitation of Damages provisions of these Conditions of Sale, and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law.

The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, in the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction shall make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other amounts paid or due to RR Auction).

Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand, RR Auction shall disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and assign to Bidder all of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and assignment, all responsibility and liability, if any, of RR Auction with respect to said lot or property shall automatically terminate. RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction - this remedy is as to the Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances.

If Bidder wishes to challenge the AC within the period of the Certification of Authenticity, Bidder must present written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field. If RR Auction agrees that the lot is not as represented, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be a refund of their purchase price, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable.

If RR Auction does not agree with the claim by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale.

Any such challenge concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Bidder’s notice to RR Auction of Bidder’s contention that the lot was not authentic, or six (6) years from the Auction Date, whichever is sooner.

If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), the lot is returnable if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and the AC, then the description in the AC shall control. This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received by RR Auction.

NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE. RR Auction’s Additional Services: For Bidders who do not remove purchased property from RR Auction’s premises, RR Auction, in its sole discretion and solely as a service and accommodation to Bidders, may arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded at the sole request, expense, and risk of Bidder. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for damage to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice, RR Auction will include an administration charge.

Headings: Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret the substantive sections to which they refer.

Entire Agreement: These Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement between the parties together with the terms and conditions contained in the Registration Form. They may not be amended, modified or superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties. No oral or written statement by anyone employed by RR Auction or acting as agent or representative of RR Auction may amend, modify, waive or supersede the terms herein unless such amendment, waiver or modification is contained in a writing signed by all parties.

If any section of these Conditions of Sale or any term or provision of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining sections or terms and provisions of a section shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

Governing Law and Enforcement The Parties agree that any agreements between the Parties including but not limited to these Conditions of Sale are entered into in Boston, Massachusetts, no matter where Bidder is situated and no matter by what means or where Bidder was informed of the Auction and regardless of whether catalogs, materials, or other communications were received by Bidder in another location.

The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, and any other related agreement(s) are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles. The Parties agree that any dispute related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale, or related to or arising out of any other related agreement(s) shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before a single Arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The Parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the AAA. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. The Parties agree that Bidder shall have no right to recover consequential or indirect damages, or lost profits damages.

The Parties consent to the enforcement of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in either the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.

Except as provided in Bidder’s Remedies with regard to the Certification of Authenticity, any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other agreement(s) between the Parties must be brought within one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances giving rise to the alleged claim, without exceptions. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute release of any claims after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding on all parties in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-actions brought by either RR Auction or Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale.

The Bidder hereby agrees that RR Auction shall be entitled to present these Conditions of Sale to a court in any jurisdiction other than set forth in this paragraph as conclusive evidence of the Parties’ agreement, and the Parties further agree that the court shall immediately dismiss any action filed in such jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration related to or arising out of any Auction of an item sold for less than $10,000. This right shall relate to the individual item price, such that RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration for items that in the aggregate exceed $10,000. The prevailing Party in such a proceeding shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the proceeding, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. This right of enforcement is unique to RR Auction, and these Conditions of Sale are a waiver by the Bidder of any right to enforcement or adjudication outside of an Arbitration.

CONDUCT OF AUCTION Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 732-4280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision.

Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading).

Owned or Guaranteed Property: RR Auction generally offers property consigned by others for sale at public auction; in very limited occasion, lots are offered that are the property of RR Auction.

Before the Auction: Bidder may attend pre-sale viewing for all of RR Auction’s auctions at no charge. All property to be auctioned is usually on view for several days prior to the sale. Bidder is encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. Bidder may also request condition reports (see below). RR Auction’s staff are available at viewings and by appointment.

Maximum Bids – All Auctions: To maximize Bidder’s chance of winning, RR Auction strongly encourages the use of maximum bids. RR Auction will then bid for Bidder until the lot reaches Bidder’s specified maximum. Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, non-incremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the under Bidder’s bid.

Successful Bids: The fall of RR Auction’s hammer indicates the final bid. RR Auction will record the paddle number of the Bidder. If Bidder’s salesroom or absentee bid is successful, Bidder will be notified after the sale by mailed or emailed invoice.

Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. RR Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction.

Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.

Bidding—Timed Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm EST/ EDT, that lot is awarded to Bidder. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm EST/ EDT will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm EST/EDT or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm EST/EDT, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm EST/EDT, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot (the “30 Minute Rule”). The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the Auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm EST/EDT. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the high Bidder, raising Bidder’s maximum bid will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the Auction at any time at its sole discretion.

Bidding - Internet – Live Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.

To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

Property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the con-

signor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

During live Auctions, internet bids can be placed in real time through one or more of the following Third Party services: www. liveauctioneers.com, www.invaluable.com and www.icollector. com. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. RR Auction treats any third-party site bids as floor or telephone bids. Floor bids and telephone bids are always considered first over third party sites bids, and floor bids are considered earlier than telephone bids. All RR Auction lots purchased through the third party sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium.

Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a nonsale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement.

Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with “do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available.

Rules of Construction: RR Auction presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions. Nothing herein shall be construed to waive the general Conditions of Sale by these additional rules and shall be construed to give force and effect to the rules in their entirety.
