She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe. Thought you’d never say hello she said you look like the silent type. Then she opened up a book of poems and handed it to me.

Edie Sedgwick

Art served as both escape and respite for Edith Minturn ‘Edie’ Sedgwick, the tragic ac tress, fashion model, and Andy Warhol superstar whose electric charm and beauty em bodied the mercurial youth movement of 1960s Manhattan. Her rise and fall have become a part of pop lore, documented through page, screen, and song, casting Edie in a dual role as icon and victim of the underground art scene.

Edie’s reliance on her own art, however, was only truly revealed after her death. Jean Stein and George Plimpton’s biography Edie: An American Biography (from which we have borrowed several quotes) offers fascinating snippets into how Edie’s personal art remained a constant, ever poised to pull her back from the brink, if only for a short while. Our collection of Edie Sedgwick artwork dates from 1960 to 1970, an improbable decade of equal parts love and madness that tells Edie’s tale in a way never before seen.

“An evening with Edie would only end when Edie had go to the point of exhaustion, which would be at the end of two or three days. There’s that old Yogi axiom: the higher you go, the further you fall. We all know that. She liked walking very close to extinction, always.” John Anthony Walker

The seventh of eight children to Francis ‘Duke/Fuzzy’ Sedgwick and Alice Delano de Forest, Edie, who was nicknamed Weedles or sometimes Weasel, grew up on sprawling cattle ranches about 50 miles inland from Santa Barbara. With the exception of doctor and dental visits, Edie and her siblings never left the ranch.

‘The Sedgwicks lived in their own world. We went over sometimes, but they were hard to know. They even had their own schoolhouse. I don’t think Edie had a good friend—horses maybe.’ Wendy Wilder

The Sedgwick children did their chores on the farm, rode horses on their thousands of acres, and busied themselves with their arts and crafts. This isolation denied them a normal childhood, but it consequently nurtured their imaginations, especially so for young Edie. She made puppets by hand and became adept at drawing the array of animals living on the ranch, with horses, unequivocally, being her favorite.

‘I always thought Edie wanted to escape on her horse, but she couldn’t get off the ranch. She was penned in…So she could only run away on the ranch. She would just disappear into the mountains with her horse, Chub, and you never knew where she was. Then she’d come back mellowed out.’

Jonathan Sedgwick

Edie was fastidious and fussed over minute details. Her meticulousness, coupled with a strict body image insisted upon by her imperious father, Fuzzy, developed into an eating disorder. As a teenager, she was removed from boarding school due to her anorexia and bulimia and sent to the east coast to attend St. Timothy’s in Maryland before transferring to psychiatric hospitals in Connecticut and New York. Her focus on artwork during occupational therapy sessions guided her to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she studied art with her cousin Lily Swann Saarinen—wife of architect and industrial designer Eero Saarinen—in the fall of 1963.

‘She was the most talented young person I’ve taught art to…Pretty soon my life was Edie because I couldn’t do anything else. She worked frantically. She wanted to do a horse. She said she’d ridden them all her life and knew every inch of them…So she worked on this one horse. It looked like a T’ang horse. It took her all winter.’

Lily Swann Saarinen

‘I saw that horse a hundred million billion times! It seemed to me that it never changed form. It was always just perfect. Edie’d say ‘Look! Look what I’ve done to the leg!’...But I could never see what she’d done. The horse went through the whole year. It just wouldn’t end, that horse.’ Ed Hennessy

Edie frequented Adams House at Harvard and became a regular at hotspots like the Casablanca where she fell into the crowd

of intellectuals and eccentrics that frequented the Square’s artistic community.

‘I’ll give you a scene of Edie. One day I was in the Widener Library Reading Room at Harvard. It was just essential that I study my notes for an hour exam. Edie was with me. I don’t know why. To get out of the rain. She started to draw in my notebook. It was almost as if you’d given a child a crayon and a piece of paper to keep her quiet because she had no one to play with. She did this perspective of the Reading Room which was phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. She did the whole length of Wid ener with its ceilings and vaultings, a special rendering of that sort of cavernous place it is.’ John Anthony Walker

Edie outgrew Cambridge and the 21-year-old left for New York City in the summer of 1964, living with her grandmother before moving into an apartment between Fifth and Madison. At some point, she drew a huge horse above her bed. A little later, in early 1965, she met Andy Warhol.

“I think Edie was something Andy would like to have been; he was transposing himself into her a la Pygmalion…Andy Warhol would have liked to have been Edie Sedgwick.” Truman Capote

The Factory, and Andy, soon found their ‘superstar’ in Edie. Her energy was contagious and her charm and beauty mesmer ized even the most snobbish of poets, artists, and fashionistas. With Andy’s influence, Edie’s modeling career ignited and she broke into the mainstream, appearing in top magazines like Vogue and Life. The pair made numerous films together in 1965, including Vinyl, Horse, Kitchen, and Poor Little Rich Girl, among others.

“I used to hang around her apartment with her. Agonizing…even to me. Chaos! Piles of clothes on every piece of furniture. Easels. Canvases–she was painting at the time. There was a portfolio of very small scrunched-up rodent drawings with funny little monster men. A top hat on one of them. Bleak little pictures. Art was her ostensible thing, her reason for being in New York, according to what she told her parents.” Sandy Kirkland

And then it ended. Edie was hurting from drug abuse and New York and its enablers and hanger-ons had little to offer in the way of healing. She returned to California in 1969 and was soon admitted to the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital where she met fellow patient and future husband Michael Post. They married in the summer of 1971 and, for several months, Edie was sober. She relapsed on prescription pain medication and overdosed from a concoction of booze and pills on November 16, 1971, passing away in her bed at the age of 28.

“Anyone who gets involved with the world of fashion has her own self-destruct built into it. The constant beat, beat, beat, and this girl wandering through it, the total victim, believing it all and destroyed by it through no fault of her own.”

Truman Capote

Given Edie’s short life and restless, unpredictable nature, holographic material from her remains nearly unobtainable. As such, this unprecedented collection of her own personal artwork, created during her most influential and turbulent period, represents a unique and singular event never again to be repeated.

8031. Edie Sedgwick Original Female Study Artwork (1962).

Original artwork by Edie Sedgwick of a female figure, accomplished in mixed media on an off-white 12 x 16 canvas sheet, signed in the lower right in black ink, “ES–62.” In fine condition.

Sedgwick left the St. Timothy’s School boarding school in 1959 and returned to her family’s La Laguna ranch in California, where she re mained until the fall of 1962 when her family forced her to confront her eating disorder. At the age of 19, she was sent to the private Silver Hill psychiatric hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut, before eventually being moved to Bloomingdale, the Westchester Division of New York Hospital, residencies that allowed her to focus on artwork during occupational therapy sessions. Given her history of anorexia and body dysmorphia, this artwork of a nude female figure offers insight into what Sedgwick may or may not have considered to be a healthy female body. She left Bloomingdale soon thereafter and, at the age of 20, she moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to study art with her cousin Lily Saarinen in the fall of 1963. From the Michael Post Collection.

Towards the end of her stay at the latter, Sedgwick had an abortion. While it’s unknown if she created this work before or after, its timing and subject matter infer that Sedgwick was indeed grappling with the idea of motherhood. She left Bloomingdale soon thereafter and, at the age of 20, she moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to study art with her cousin Lily Saarinen in the fall of 1963. From the Michael Post Collection.

Sedgwick arrived in NYC in the summer of 1964 and, a year later, she was a star. She lived lavishly, feverishly, befriended Bob Dylan, and joined forces with Andy Warhol. She had become one of NYC’s most sought-after faces, appearing as ‘The Girl with the Black Tights’ in the November issue of Life magazine and being named as a ‘Youthquaker’ in the August issue of Vogue.

8038. Edie Sedgwick’s Original Sketch Pad (1970). Spiral-bound 15 x 20 sketch pad belonging to Edie Sedgwick, dating to 1970, which contains a total of 13 original drawings in graphite, with Sedgwick adding her artist signature to four in different variations: “EMS-70,” “ES-70,” and “ES-1970.” The pad’s detached front cover also bears her last name across the top: “Sedgwick.” While the majority of the subjects are of horses, Sedgwick also includes drawings of an infant suckling its thumb, an angel figurine, a monkey and goat, several nude figure studies, a double light switch with the inscription, “For Bobby,” and a portrait of novelist Truman Capote.

Also included is one handwritten letter from Saarinen to Edie, dated January 18, 1969. Alice’s letters offer a unique glimpse into the perspective of one of Edie’s greatest supporters, alternating between pride, hope, and worry, questioning her move to New York City to model when her daughter was so naturally talented as an artist and horsewoman. The letters are dated sans year, however, two accompany ing mailing envelopes are postmarked to 1964; given this and the subject matter, we suspect that these letters date between 1963 and 1965.

In very good condition, with scattered stains and creases, remnants of adhered paper, and instances of emulsion irregularity.

Horses, as much of her artwork reveals, served as a cre ative anchoring point for Sedgwick throughout her life, a go-to subject from a childhood spent on California ranches. When she went to study art with Saarinen in the fall of 1963, Sedgwick spent much of her time working on a clay horse, pictured here. According to Saarinen: ‘She was the most talented young person I’ve taught art to…Pretty soon my life was Edie because I couldn’t do anything else. She worked frantically. She wanted to do a horse. She said she’d ridden them all her life and knew every inch of them…So she worked on this one horse. It looked like a T’ang horse. It took her all winter.’ Starting Bid $200

Although the record is not included, this particular Beatles title remains very uncommon. The Beatles’ Hottest Hits was released in Denmark in April 1965, and was pulled from the market after a short time, with only a little over 3,000 albums pressed; the album is comprised of singles that weren’t featured in the band’s other albums.

Though he snapped about 30 photos at his Wallesy studio in December 1961, records indicate that only 17 still exist, with the here-offered example being one of the most appealing.

George Harrison was quiet and Pete Best didn’t speak almost at all.’ Marrion remembered it was actually Lennon and McCartney’s ‘acting up’ that spoiled many of the discarded negatives. An uncom monly early photograph with a great image that’s matched by its cast of bold red autographs. Starting Bid $1000

This ‘first state’ version features the notorious ‘butcher’ cover in which the Beatles are seen in butcher smocks draped with meat and plastic doll parts; ‘first state’ signifies that this is an original example that never had the ‘trunk cover’ pasteover applied.

Harrison’s personal test pressing of ‘My Sweet Lord,’ gifted to the mechanic that fixed his ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ Mini Cooper S

8065. George Harrison Personally-Owned and Signed Test Pressing of ‘My Sweet Lord’. Exceedingly rare EMI/Apple Records 7-inch ‘white label’ test pressing of the 1971 single ‘My Sweet Lord / What is Life’ by George Harrison, who has signed the ‘A side’ label in black felt tip, “Best wishes from, George Harrison,” and annotated the song titles on either side, “My Sweet Lord” and “What is Life.” The consignor notes that this test pressing was Harrison’s personally owned copy and was given by Harrison to a mechanic at his Friar Park estate, Henley-on-Thames, in March 1971, as a ‘thank you’ gift for repairing his famous psychedelic Mini, an Austin Cooper ‘S,’ LGF 695D, which was featured in the 1967 film Magical Mystery Tour. The ‘A Side’ label bears an ownership notation.

In fine condition, with a trivial smudge to the first letter of the sentiment. Test pressings formerly belonging to any member of the Beatles are exceedingly scarce. Few examples have ever surfaced, and signed examples, such as this, are virtually nonexistent. This early and important example of, arguably, Harrison’s most iconic song as a solo artist, signed and gifted by Harrison under such personal circumstances, makes this truly unique. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, John Glazbrook; this, as well as further information relative to the history and scarcity of the recording, can be found and read in our online description.

8139. The Who: Zak Starkey’s Stage-Used London 2012 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony Cymbals. Stunning set of custom-made Olympic Zildjian cymbals used on stage by drummer Zak Starkey during The Who’s performance at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Summer Olympics. The five cymbals, each 24˝ in diameter, were painted to rep resent the Olympic colors; therefore, the cymbals have a muted sound and do not sound like a traditional cymbal that is made to resonate. Although Starkey, the son of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, did, in fact, use these cymbals on stage, the actual songs they performed at the ceremony were pre-recorded, so the sound heard at the show was not that of the cymbals, which were painted to be visual aids and not heard on stage. These gorgeous cymbals were made exclusively by Zildjian for this closing ceremony and, as such, they are one of a kind. In overall fine condition, with expected wear from use. Starting Bid $200

8144. The Doors Signed Album.

The record is included. Accompanied by full letters of authenticity from REAL and Beckett Authentication Services.

Fully signed albums by the Doors are amongst rock music’s most coveted and elusive treasures. This particular example, which was amazingly discovered in a moving sale, is made all the more desirable and significant for the placement of its autographs, which are neatly penned over the printed lyrics to the epic performance piece ‘The Celebration of the Lizard.’ The entire composition was originally intended to be recorded and released as one full side of the band’s third studio album, Waiting for the Sun, but record producer Paul A. Rothchild, as well as band members, thought that the extended poetic sections and its overall length made a complete recording impossible, not to mention its inherent lack of commercial

appeal. The connection between the song and Morrison’s own alter ego nickname of ‘the Lizard King,’ a monicker born from his purported ability to talk to and control reptiles, makes this a most dynamic and sought-after Doors display piece.

Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance from Ronay, noting that the piece was signed in Tijuana in 1968. In part: “We ran into two young American soldiers on the infamous

Avenida Revolucion who recognized Jim and who wanted to buy him a beer. They took us to their favorite dive bar, The Blue Note. The GIs were so proud of themselves for having nabbed a true rock star that they insisted Jim go sing with the local Mexican band playing onstage—which he did—but the kicker was none of them even knew who had just joined them!… One of these soldiers was angry that he had been recruited under pressure when Lyndon Johnson won his election against Barry Goldwater in 1964. Jim pulled out a notepad (he always carried one around with him) and on the spurt of the moment wrote ‘Goldwater & Johnson eat shit.’ He initialed it and then I did, too, in agreement.” Also includes an additional letter of authenticity signed by Ronay.

Ultra-rare first edition of The New Creatures, presented by Jim Morrison to his lover Eve Babitz

8146. Jim Morrison Signed Book: ‘The New Creatures’ to Eve Babitz. Extremely rare signed book: The New Creatures. First edition, printed as a limited issue of 100 copies. Self-published and privately printed by Western Lithographers, Los Angeles, 1969. Hardcover with gilt lettering, “The New Creatures / James Douglas Morrison,” 5.5 x 8.75, 88 pages.

Book condition: VG/None, with edgewear and with trivial dampstaining to the lower left corner of most pages. A phenomenal association copy of Morrison’s second self-published volume of poetry, inscribed to a popular chronicler of the age.

Eve Babitz once recalled her first encounter with Morrison: ‘I met Jim, and propositioned him in three minutes…Being in bed with Jim was like being in bed with Michelangelo’s David, only with blue eyes.’ She was reportedly the inspiration for The

Doors’ song ‘L.A. Woman,’ a title which she would borrow for a 1982 novel. The consignor notes that she lived in the same building as Babitz, and was allowed to take this book when she went into assisted living; Babitz passed away in 2021.

Babitz, a visual artist and author, first became famous as the model in Julian Wasser’s iconic photograph of the nude, 20-year-old Babitz playing chess with the fully-clothed Marcel Duchamp. Romantically connected with the likes of Jim Mor rison, Ed Ruscha, Harrison Ford, Steve Martin, and Annie Leibovitz, she would become one of the foremost chroniclers of Hollywood hedonism in books such as Eve’s Hollywood (1974), Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, The Flesh, and L.A.: Tales (1977), and Sex and Rage: Advice to Young Ladies Eager for a Good Time (1979). Characterized by styl ish prose and authentic observation, Babitz’s writings have earned renewed interest in recent years. Starting Bid $1000

Sought-after ‘WMET’ radio promo of Led Zeppelin’s Physical Graffiti

Extremely rare previously undocumented promotional pressing of Physical Graffiti, the sixth studio album by Led Zeppelin, which was spe cially customized by Atlantic Records / Swan Song Records for the now-defunct Chicago radio station WMET.

In very fine condition. The records are included.

Includes a letter of authenticity from Recordmecca’s Jeff Gold, who states that the album was discovered in the collection of Ken Barnes, the former editor of Radio & Records. A handwritten letter of provenance from Barnes is also included.

This particular ‘Frank’ is characterized by its red basket, eyes, and lips, and the large “Queen” sticker on its chest; other models bear stickers that read ‘Queen: News of the World.’ In fine condition, with expected wear from use and storage, such as scattered marks and scuffs.

The promotional department at Paramount Pictures released this publicity photograph in two sizes (8 x 10 and 11 x 14), and although both are extremely rare—with many fans not even aware of their existence—the larger version is the rarer of the two. In addition to its size, the photo’s imagery is also quite significant—Paramount’s promotional department pulled this version of the photo shortly after its distribution because it was decided that the portrait was not the best shot of Elvis, who is pictured looking down with a forlorn expression. When it was pulled, the department did not bother producing another, hence the further rarity of this item. Starting Bid $1000

Hope your well & not overcome with some fuckin Pommie disease… We’re still waiting on word to pack our bags & head over but it won’t be for a few months as we’re still in the middle of the 2nd album. We’ve put down 2 tracks: ‘She’s Got The Jack’—a new single: ‘High Voltage Rock & Roll.’ I think they might replace a couple of the weaker songs on the High Voltage LP & be released overseas but we still have to finish the 2nd album so it can be on standby just in case we take the world by storm…

Things have been really good lately. The album is number 7 & the single about 10 but I think that’s as far as they’ll go…

But things are slowly getting better all round & I think we’ll be heading our own Festival Hall show soon. The trouble is getting a good support band. The best support band in the country is us or I should say was us. We supported Sky Hooks the other week at Festival Hall & a couple of newspapers gave us full marks & not them, they’re a pain in the arse.” Bon adds on the reverse: “The lads say hello!!!” In fine condition, with some light creasing.

Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Scott’s own hand, a certificate of authenticity from Tracks, and a letter of provenance from the recipient, which can be read in our online description. Starting Bid $1000

8267. Billy Joel’s Stage-Used C. Bechstein Model M Grand Piano. Billy Joel’s personally-owned and -used 1908 C. Bechstein Model M Grand Piano, serial number 88837, which he toured with and recorded on during the mid-1970s to mid-1980s. Most notably, he played this piano during a BBC concert and is said to have used it to record the song ‘New York State of Mind.’ The piano was professionally restored by Larkfield Pianos in 1992. Originally purchased from Frank Weber, Joel’s brother-in-law and manager during this period, and accompanied by documentation of ownership. While this model was not officially offered until 1920, the manufacturer has confirmed that earlier variations are not uncommon, due to experimentation in design during the early part of the cen tury. Note: Winning bidder is responsible for cost of shipping piano from origin to destination. Please call RR Auction for more details.

Rock stars of Joel’s caliber often choose to play Bechsteins not only because their sound compliments the human voice, but because of the piano’s rich history—analogous to a guitarist’s

preference for Fender or Gibson. Bechstein is one of the most renowned piano makers in the world, and has been since it was established in 1853—Franz Liszt was one of its earliest customers, and others fond of the manufacturer included the likes of Queen Victoria and Wilhelm Furtwangler. The great modern composer Claude Debussy once proclaimed: ‘Piano music should only be written for the Bechstein.’ In more recent times, the piano has crafted a niche in rock music—the Beatles used a Bechstein on ‘Hey Jude,’ Queen used one on A Night at the Opera, and it has been known as one of Bob Dylan’s preferred pianos since the 1960s. Continuing the Bechstein legacy, Joel utilized this piano as a main tool while revolution izing and popularizing the ‘piano rock’ genre. In addition to the direct provenance from his one-time manager, Joel can be seen playing this exact piano during his Live at the BBC concert of March 14, 1978, during a set that consisted of some of his most famous songs—including ‘Movin’ Out,’ ‘She’s Always A Woman,’ and ‘Only the Good Die Young.’ A truly unique and one-of-a-kind piece of music history.

When the concert ended, I approached one of the stage guys and said that I saw Prince drop his glove on top of the higher right-hand stage. I asked him if I could have the glove that Prince dropped.

Section 3

3.1 The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed and live Auctions. . 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 earlier. Bidder’s failure to pay any payment in full when due required shall constitute a material breach, and in addition to other dam ages available under contract or law, at RR Auction’s election, RR Auction may cancel the sale and require full premium still be due along with inter est at 1.5% per month from the date of breach, or at the maximum legally allowable rate.

Section 4 Bidding

4.1 Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s) and independent investigation, rather than the any reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or else where. Bidder affirms that it regards any statements made by RR Auction concerning the item as solely opinion and that Bidder is making its own inspection and independent evaluation of the goods, and is not relying upon any description or statements by RR Auction (including as to quality, authenticity, provenance, ownership, liens existing, on goods legality, or value) in making its determination to bid on or purchase an item. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

4.2 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 re-offering 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.

4.3 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.

4.4 Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Con signor, or assignee of Consignor, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by Bidder and Bidder has fully satisfied any outstanding financial obligations to RR Auction (including as it concerns aby other lots). RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder.

4.5 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 upon the earlier of shipment to Bidder or in Bidder’s possession.

4.6 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 lien consisting of a senior security interest (or purchase money security interest to the extent ap plicable) in such sums or items to the fullest extent applicable, authorizes RR Auction to file documents concerning the interest, and Bidder agrees to execute any further 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 fees and expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

4.7 By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guar antees 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.

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

Section 5

Bidding Options

5.1 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.

5.2 When identical bids are submitted, preference is given to the first re ceived. 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 Auc tion 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 execu tion of bids submitted by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins.

5.3 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.

5.4 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 Bid ders. 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 auc tions. If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

Section 6 Payment

6.1 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 Bid der, 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 Auc tion’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than sixty (60) 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.

6.2 Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon present ment 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 cas es 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.

6.3 All sales for total invoices greater than $1,000 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 re quirements.

6.4 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 cor porate checks.

6.5 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.

6.7 If RR Auction refers any unpaid invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay and shall be liable for RR Auction’s attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction in ad dition to the invoice amount and interest the greater of 1.5% per month or at the maximum legally allowable rate from date of invoice to collection. 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.

6.8 RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder (as well as to the extent it is a consignor any other monies owed or due to 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 Bid

der’s property in their possession.

6.9 All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are pay able to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. RR Auction clients with an invoice totaling $1,000 or under will have the option to pay by VISA, Mastercard, Discover or Paypal. All Paypal payments must be sent to FinanceDepartment@rrauction.com.

Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the mer chandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs.

RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone at any time.

Section 11

Conducting the Auction

11.1 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.

11.2 RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments. RR Auction has the right in its absolute discre tion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auc tion 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 Auctions 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.

11.3 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. RR Auction may execute bids consecutively or otherwise up to one bid increment below the reserve.

11.4 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, availability, and RR Auction’s approval which shall be exercised at RR Auction’s sole discretion. Nei ther 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 execu tion 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.

11.5 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).

11.6 Owned or Guaranteed Property:

RR Auction generally offers property consigned by others for sale at pub lic auction; in very limited occasion, lots are offered that are the property of RR Auction.

11.7 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.

11.8 Maximum Bids In 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 confiden tial. 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.

11.9 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.

11.10 Unsold Lots:

If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it re mains 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.

11.11 Bidding in 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 ser vice the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a cor rect 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 con tacted 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 Inter net 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 gener ally 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 Min ute 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.

11.12 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 ser vice the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a cor rect 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 con tacted 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 Inter net 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 gener ally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

During live internet or live auction, 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 participat ing by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute a bid or bids (succes sively or otherwise) on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, ei ther 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. All auctions for lots are with reserve unless specifically stated otherwise.

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 respon sible 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 Auc tion 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.

11.13 Miscellaneous:

Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a non-sale 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 con formity 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.

11.14 Rules of Construction: RR Auction presents properties in a num ber 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.

Section 12

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 material breach or default. In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available rem edies 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 Bid der 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 Bidder’s property in RR Auction’s possession or to which title has not yet passed to 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.

Section 13

Warranties

13.1 RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether ex pressed 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 illus tration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchant ability 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 Bid der acquires rights in copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) related to the item, or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

13.2 All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology includ ing 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, impor tance, 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 deter mining 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.

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

13.4 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 certifi cation 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 “AC”), to the exclu sion of any other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to those pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The AC inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the AC and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void.

Section 14 Firearms

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

Section 15

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 regis tration 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 un less 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 rep resentative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed Bidder and by an authorized officer of RR Auction 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.

Section 16 Bidder’s Remedies

16.1 Except as stated expressly herein, Bidder’s sole and exclusive rem edy related to or pertaining to items it bids upon, views, or purchases from RR Auction, and any claims by Bidder related to authenticity, ownership, condition, title or value, shall be against Consignor only.

16.2 This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, officers, managers, employ ees or agents), or in any way arising out of, related to, or in connection with these Conditions of Sale, , and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law. Time is of the es sence with respect to these procedures.

16.3 Title to Items

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, satisfactory to 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 may 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 (if any made), RR Auction may disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and may assign to Bidder all or some of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with re spect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and/or assignment, all responsibility and liability of RR Auction, if any, with respect to said lot or item shall automatically terminate related to or arising from these Condi tions of Sale or such transaction operating as a complete waiver and gen eral release by Bidder as to RR Auction and its agents, contractors, and affiliates, as to any and all claims concerning or related to the item, if any . RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction by 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.

16.4 Authenticity Challenge Process

(1) If Bidder wishes to dispute or challenge the Authenticity of the lot or item (including asserting that it is incorrect), Bidder must adhere to the following procedure: Within 30 days of the Auction Date, Bidder must present written evidence to RR Auction, that the lot is not authentic as de termined by a known expert in the field (and one recognized by RR Auc tion within its discretion) and send the physical item or lot at issue to RR Auction along with all evidence relied upon by Bidder for contesting the Authenticity. (“Authenticity Challenge Process”) “Authenticity” shall mean a gross discrepancy in the between the description, genuiness, or attribu tion of the item as represented by RR Auction in the Catalog or at the auction, and the item. If RR Auction concurs that the lot is not Authentic as was represented (it is sole discretion), Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, agents, employees, and contractors) shall be a refund of the purchase price of the subject item paid by Bidder, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable by Bidder. If RR Auction does not agree with the assertion by Bidder, then

the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Condi tions of Sale. Strict adherence to the Authenticity Challenge Process is a condition of standing for Bidder to initiate suit or claim.

(2) So long as Bidder has complied with the Authenticity Challenge Pro cess, any claim, suit or action, by Bidder concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity, or related to the authenticity of the item must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Auction Date and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

16.5 Other Issues. Any dispute or claim by Bidder against RR Auction (or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors)) other than Authenticity, concerning any item or lot bid upon, or purchased, including value, title, condition, bidding process, or description must be asserted (if at all) in the following manner:

(1) If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially or grossly in correct (e.g., gross cataloging error), or there is any other gross material issue pertaining to the item or lot, the item or lot may be returned if re turned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date with explanation in writing.. If there is any discrepancy between the descrip tion in the Catalog and a certificate of auction, then the description in the certificate of auction (“Lot Challenge Process”). 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 within the period of time stated herein or not materially or grossly in deviation from the description. Such a refund is subject to RR Auction’s sole discretionary review, and any request for refund must be made con currently with returning the physical item or lot to RR Auction. Any item not returned within said frame will constitute acceptance of the item and a waiver and release of any and all claims by Bidder pertaining to the item other than with respect to authenticity; and

(2) Provided that the Bidder has engaged in the Lot Challenge Process, any claim concerning such must be brought no later than one (1) year of the Auction Date for the item or lot at issue and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSID ERED OR PROVIDED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BIDDERS OR AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. FAIL URE TO COMPLY WITH SUCH SHALL BE A COMPLETE DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIMS BY BIDDER RELATED TO THE CONDITIONS OF SALE, ANY AUCTION OR BID.

16.6 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. For any and all claims by Bidder arising out of or related to this Agreement, Bidder’s viewing, bid, or purchase of items, or any agreement between the Parties, or otherwise, Bidder agrees that to the fullest extent such can be limited under the law, Bidder shall have no right to recover and hereby waives any and all rights to recover from against RR Auction or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors, consequential or indirect damages, lost profits damages, punitive, exemplary, statutory (or multiplier damages), physical or emotional distress damages, general or special damages of any kind (beyond amounts actually paid by Bidder for item(s) at issue), and in the event of recovery of any damages whatsoever, such shall be limited by the amounts actually paid by Bidder to RR Auction for the item(s) at issue in such claim, or if no money was paid to RR Auction by Bidder for items at issue, or there items are at issue, the amount of $150.00.

Section 22 Glossary of Condition terms

Information provided to prospective Bidders with respect of any lot, in cluding any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by RR Auction.

Use of the following terms constitutes an opinion as follows:

VERY FINE describes an item believed to be in virtually flawless condi tion, and is used sparingly for items of exceptionally attractive appear ance.

FINE is the most common statement of condition, and applies to most items that we offer. It describes items that we believe to show expected handling wear, generally acceptable random flaws (such as light creases, small bends, etc.), and an overall appearance that is pleasing to the ma jority of collectors.

VERY GOOD describes an item that we believe exhibits more moderate flaws (such as toning, light staining, professional reinforcements or re pairs, etc.). Most collectors would be comfortable with items in very good condition, and this would be the expected condition for many formats (early presidential documents, for example).

GOOD describes an item which we believe to have obvious visible flaws, including heavy wear, missing portions, or repairs that affect appearance; generally items in this condition are offered only if an item is otherwise believed to be exceedingly rare or important.

Bidder may call and request further details and information about RR Auction’s opinions concerning any item via phone or email which shall provided in RR Auction’s discretion.

Certificate of Auction, Certificate of Authenticity and Goods Acquired:

Bidder warrants that Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall not purposely deface, destroy, dismember, cut-up into parts the item or Lot purchased at auction from RR Auction and in the event such shall occur whether purposefully or accidently, Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall refrain from advertis ing, promoting, or marketing the item as having been purchased from RR Auction and shall in no event display, expressly claim, or imply that the item was certified or auctioned in such state by RR Auction. As liquidated damages for such breach, Bidder agrees to be liable to RR Auction for the greater of the amount of three (3) times the hammer price of the item along with all other fees and costs as otherwise provided in this Terms of Sale.
