ROBERT SHELTON’S
Old Tucson Studios Collection
R
obert “Bob” Shelton was a cinematic industry icon and all-around Tucson, Arizona legend best known for literally bringing Hollywood to the desert. When Bob purchased Old Tucson in 1958, his original intentions were for a Western theme park, but to the benefit of us all, the story took an unexpected, albeit befitting turn. The intricately authentic set, originally built for 1940’s film Arizona, starring Jean Arthur and William Holden, ended up becoming the filming home to over 300 motion pictures, all under the masterful helm of Shelton. Born in Columbus, Ohio on March 21, 1915, Shelton was—first and foremost—an incredible person. His friends will passionately tell you no one ever had a bad word to say about him. Regardless of his personal well-being, even towards the end of his rich 95-year-long life, Bob’s concern was always others above all else: “how are you and your family,” he would inquire. The many employees of Old Tucson over the course of his career there (1958–1985) felt the exact same way, especially after Bob retired and the studio was turned over to new management. Originally a country club developer, Shelton first investigated Old Tucson as a site for a theme park. Having gone unused for two decades, it had seen better days, but Bob had a special feeling for its potential and once said, “As I walked around in the rubble, I felt a spirit that said ‘do it.’” The movie magic at Old Tucson really all started for Bob when he befriended Western legend John Wayne in the early 1960s, as ‘The Duke’ searched for a place to film McClintock. Wayne and Shelton were fast friends and the larger-than-life star became a studio investor, integral to its success. Among the numerous films filmed at Old Tucson are: Gunfight at the OK Corral (1956), Cimarron (1959), four John Wayne flicks Rio Bravo (1959) McClintock (1963), El Dorado (1966), and Rio Lobo (1970), and Tombstone (1993). Cult classic Old West sixties and seventies TV shows Little House on the Prairie, Gunsmoke, and High Chaparral also called Old Tucson home. Fondly referred to as “Tucson’s Movie Man,” Bob was as well-known in Hollywood as he was in the desert, and counted icons John Wayne, Elizabeth Taylor, Lee Marvin,
Bob Shelton (left) with good friend & Hollywood legend John Wayne at Old Tucson Michael Landon, Maureen O’Hara, Robert Wagner, and Paul Newman among his many friends. On April 25, 1995, a devastating fire rocked Old Tucson destroying much of the studio, including countless costumes and props lost to the destruction. That unfortunate event renders these remarkably intact Old Tucson relics direct from the studio’s founder extremely rare and highly sought-after by Hollywood collectors. Bob’s beloved widow, Carolyn Olson Shelton, is partnering with RR to bring this remarkable collection to light in the hopes of placing these rare relics in the hands of people who will treasure them. Bob always intended to create a museum for fans to enjoy, and although the painstaking work required for that endeavour did not come to pass, Carolyn and we hope you will take up his mantle and curate these Western artifacts as your own. Join us in commemorating the history of this wonderful man, his beloved “Old Tucson,” and this once-in-alifetime sampling of film artifacts integral to Hollywood magic over several decades.

traordinary Winchester Centennial ‘66 Model 1894 carbine, serial #61475, presented by John Wayne to Old Tucson Studios founder Bob Shelton during the filming of Rio Lobo, engraved on the gold-plated receiver, “To Robert Shelton, From John Wayne, 1970.” The lever-action carbine features a 20˝ long heavy octagon barrel, caliber .30-30 Winchester. Designed to be reminiscent of their first product, the brass-framed Winchester 1866 ‘Yellow Boy,’ this handsome firearm has a gold-plated receiver and forend cap, curved brass buttplate, saddle ring, and straight hand stock crafted from select walnut. Accompanied by a color print of Wayne presenting this exact rifle to Shelton; a custom-made rustic wooden display stand; three framed photographs of Shelton with Wayne (including one showing Shelton presenting Wayne with a rifle, which prompted the later gift of this one to Shelton); and the dark green thick corduroy vest that Shelton is seen wearing in the latter image, which has an MGM Studio tag sewn into the back and was most likely part of the Old Tucson Studios wardrobe. These wonderful images of Wayne and Shelton together on the Old Tucson sets demonstrate their lasting friendship, as does the impressive engraved Winchester presented to Shelton as a token of gratitude by the icon of Western cinema.This transfers as a modern firearm Starting Bid $500

Young in New York, in full: “As this is the first time I’ve ever had a price on my head, it is also the first time that I ever promised the public something I couldn’t deliver. When, after placing a price of $5,000,000 in war bonds on Veronica Lake’s famous forelock, I asked if anyone in the Lux Radio Theatre audience would care to buy a ten cent war stamp for a lock of my own hair, I didn’t accept such an avalanche of ‘takers.’ The mail orders are heaped high on my desk. And it takes no more than a glance in the mirror to convince me that I have been caught, as it were, with my hair down. But I am willing to do the best I can. How many hairs make a lock is, of course, a moot question anyway, so I enclose a single hair to assure you of my good intentions. Even at this rate, I doubt if I shall have enough single hairs to go around, and may have to resort to the installment plan—i.e., give my sparse locks time to renew themselves after the first shearing in order to accumulate enough hair to pay off the balance of my creditors. I only regret that I have so few hairs to give for my country.” Affixed to the upper left corner are a ten-cent war stamp, patriotic ribbon, and single strand of deMille’s hair. Mounted along with the original mailing envelope and framed to an overall size of 12 x 16.5. In fine condition. Starting Bid $200

Beautiful Paramount-created Ten Commandments tablets 7070. Pair of Presentation Tablets from The Ten Commandments.
Beautiful pair of two presentation tablets created by Paramount to precisely replicate those used in Cecil B. DeMille’s epic 1956 religious film The Ten Commandments, cast in a composite resin material which has been hand-painted with a reddish speckle finish to resemble granite quarried from Mount Sinai. Each tablet measures 12˝ x 23˝ x 1.25˝, and they are deeply engraved with early Canaanite script transcribing the Ten Commandments as written by ‘the finger of God.’ They are displayed side-by-side in a wooden 32.25˝ x 26.5˝ x 4˝ shadowbox case with a recessed green felt backing, featuring two engraved plaques in the center. The first plaque describes the tablets: “These tablets are replicas of those used in the Cecil B. DeMille production ‘The Ten Commandments.’ The granite tablets used in the production were hewn from the rare red granite brought from Mt. Sinai near the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea; from the hallowed ground where Moses stood when God revealed himself in the burning bush and where the Ten Commandments were written with the finger of God. Mr. DeMille consulted with scholars of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, and Dr. Ralph Marcus wrote for him a version of the Ten Commandments in early Canaanite lettering. This manner of writing was practiced in the late Bronze Age, (circa 13th Century, B.C.), which is the era of Moses.” The second plaque translates the early Canaanite script: “The Ten Commandments. / I am Yhwh thy God. There shall not be to thee other Gods. / Thou shalt not make for thyself a graven image. / Thou shalt not take the name of thy God in vain. / Remember the Sabbath Day to sanctify it. / Honor thy father and thy mother. / Thou shalt not murder. / Thou shalt not commit adultery. / Thou shalt not steal. / Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy fellow. / Thou shalt not covet the household of thy fellow.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a provenance statement from Old Tucson Studios founder Robert Shelton, dated July 2010, describing when Shelton came into possession of these tablets: “Old Tucson Studio provided location services and facilities to the major studios for over 35 years. It purchased sections of Paramount Studios’ western street when they dismantled it. Over the years, Old Tucson accumulated large amounts of movie equipment, pro[p]s, wardrobe and artifacts. In the early 1970’s I was at Paramount, purchasing and loading a semi-trailer of equipment, when the studio through Jerry Cook, a studio executive, offered me the opportunity to personally acquire a rare set of their Ten Commandments.” Also includes an original color one sheet movie poster for the 1972 US re-release of the film, 27 x 40, stapled along the edges to a foamcore board. The poster’s artwork portrays Charlton Heston as Moses, triumphantly holding the Ten Commandments tablets above his head as the Red Sea parts in the background. A beautiful presentation associated with one of the most identifiable, iconic props in cinema history—the tablets from The Ten Commandments. Starting Bid $500

Born in Austria-Hungary in 1876, Zukor arrived in New York City as an immigrant in 1891. He became involved in the motion picture industry in 1903, when he loaned money to his cousin to invest in a chain of theaters. He established the Famous Players Film Company in 1912 to distribute French films in America, and merged with Jesse L. Lasky to form Famous Players-Lasky in 1916. He then organized a merger into Paramount Pictures Corporation, and continued to grow the company into an empire by acquiring smaller studios and distributors. A big believer in the power of stardom, Zukor signed and developed many of the leading heroes of the silent screen, such as Mary Pickford, Marguerite Clark, Pauline Frederick, Douglas Fairbanks, Gloria Swanson, Rudolph Valentino, and Wallace Reid. In 1949, Zukor received an Honorary Academy Award, recognizing the ‘man who has been called the father of the feature film in America, for his services to the industry over a period of forty years.’ This archive from Zukor’s estate was part of the collection of Old Tucson Studios founder Bob Shelton, who was once married to Zukor’s granddaughter, Jane Loew.

ential Spanish-born filmmaker (1900–1983) remembered for making surrealism irresistible by mixing it with deft filmmaking techniques and suave direction of action.

As for me, there is very little: I am still waiting for a call from the USSR. The day before yesterday I gave my script to Braumberger who seems very disposed to produce it and delighted…except that he needs to find money, which is an extremely easy thing to do these days. In any case, there will be no music, Georges, no Wagner, rest assured. No news from friends, except from Marie-Laure and Charles.” In fine condition. Starting Bid $200

It was painted exclusively for Jack Webb by James Cagney, as a birthday gift.” Cagney earned his fame as one of Hollywood’s most distinctive tough guys, playing gangsters in classics like The Public Enemy (1931), Taxi! (1932), Angels with Dirty Faces (1938), and White Heat (1949). Webb, on the other hand, is remembered for his role as the straight-laced detective Sgt. Joe Friday in the the Dragnet franchise.

Deluxe-bound Gone With the Wind shooting script presented to Leslie Howard by David O. Selznick—“with the fond (but probably futile) hope that he’ll finally read it!” 7128. Leslie Howard’s Gone With the Wind Final Shooting Script Inscribed by David O. Selznick. Final shooting
script for the classic 1939 Selznick International film Gone With the Wind, richly custom-bound in full maroon morocco by producer David O. Selznick and presented to actor Leslie Howard as a Christmas gift following the release of the movie. The front cover and spine are beautifully gilt-stamped, “Gone With the Wind, Screen Play,” with the recipient’s name stamped at the bottom right of the front cover, “Leslie Howard.” Perfectly signed and inscribed on the first free end page in fountain pen, “For Leslie—with the fond (but probably futile) hope that he’ll finally read it! David S., Xmas, 1939.” The volume totals 273 pages with gilt top edges, comprising the 256-page script, original yellow Selznick International wrappers, actor and staff credit pages, endpapers, and eight pages with affixed glossy stills from the film bound in. In fine condition, with light cover wear. Accompanied by a custom-made clamshell case, as well as a photocopy of an article that appeared in the Winter 2014 issue of Fine Books & Collections, which depicts this script and discusses Selznick’s Gone With the Wind presentation scripts in great detail. When Gone With the Wind finished filming, and indeed as each person finished their respective employment as production progressed, David O. Selznick collected and destroyed the shooting scripts for reasons of secrecy. Following the film’s Atlanta premiere on December 15, 1939—just in time for Christmas—Selznick personally inscribed and signed specially bound copies of the final GWTW shooting script and presented them to a certain number of cast, crew, and associates. His pithy and perfectly in-context inscriptions in these prized scripts add an exceptional dimension—in this instance he refers to the fact that Leslie Howard apparently never read Margaret Mitchell’s book or the full script, learning only the lines necessary for his portrayal of the weak-willed Ashley Wilkes. Howard did not want the role, but was persuaded by Selznick to take it when he was also offered the Associate Producer position on Intermezzo in which he starred with Ingrid Bergman, shooting some of that film at the same time as GWTW. Howard also received the highest rate of any of the GWTW stars at $7,500 per week. It was Howard’s last American film, and he was the only actor not to attend the Atlanta premiere (director Victor Fleming did not either, due to a falling out with Selznick). Howard instead returned to Britain to help with the effort in World War II, and he was killed when his plane was shot down during a diplomatic mission in 1943. While most of these scripts were specially bound in maroon cloth and leather, a select handful of recipients—including stars Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard, and Olivia de Havilland—received deluxe full leather bindings. The script presented to Olivia de Havilland appeared at auction in 1997, where it achieved a $40,250 result; a year earlier, Clark Gable’s deluxe script achieved the remarkable price of $244,500. An exceptional, one-of-a-kind star script from one of Hollywood’s iconic films, which celebrates its 80th anniversary this year. Starting Bid $5000

Desperate letter from Monroe to Lee Stasberg— “As you know, for years I have been struggling to find some emotional security with little success, for many different reasons” 7289. Marilyn Monroe Typed Letter Signed. TLS signed
“Marilyn,” two pages, 8.5 x 11, December 19, 1961. Letter to mentor and acting instructor Lee Strasberg, in full: “This is an important personal letter and please don’t start to read it until you have the time to give it your careful thought. This letter concerns my future plans and therefore concerns yours as well since my future development as an artist is based on our working together. All this is an introduction; let me outline the recent events, my ideas and my suggestions. As you know, for years I have been struggling to find some emotional security with little success, for many different reasons. Only in the last several months, as you detected, do I seem to have made a modest beginning. It is true that my treatment with Dr. Greenson has had its ups and downs, as you know. However, my overall progress is such that I have hopes of finally establishing a piece of ground for myself to stand on, instead of the quicksand I have always been in. But Dr. Greenson agrees with you, that for me to live decently and productively, I must work! And work means not merely performing professionally, but to study and truly devote myself. My work is the only trustworthy hope I have. And here, Lee, is where you come in. To me, work and Lee Strasberg are synonymous. I do not want to be presumptuous in expecting you to come out here for me alone. I have contacted Marlon on this subject and he seems to be quite interested, despite the fact that he is in the process of finishing a movie. I shall talk with him more thoroughly in a day or two. Furthermore, and this must be kept confidential for the time being, my attorneys and I are planning to set up and [sic] independent production unit, in which we have envisaged an important position for you. This is still in the formative phase, but I am thinking of you in some consultative position or in whatever way you might see fit. I know you will want enough freedom to pursue your teaching and any other private interests you might want to follow. Though I am committed to my analysis, as painful as it is, I cannot definitively decide, until I hear from you, because without working with you only half of me is functioning. Therefore, I must know under what condition you might consider coming out here and even settling here. I know this might sound quite fantastic, but if you add up
all the possible advantages it should be quite a rewarding venture. I mean not only for Marlon and me—but for others. This independent production unit will also be making pictures without me—this is even required for legal reasons. This will offer an opportunity for Susan if she should be interested and perhaps even for Johnny. And Paula would have a great many opportunities for coaching. As for you, Lee, I still have the dream of you some day directing me in a film! I know this is a big step to take, but I have the wish that you might realize out here some of the incomplete hopes that were perhaps not fulfilled for you, like Lincoln Center, etc. So I don’t know how else to persuade you. I need you to study with and I am not alone in this. I want to do everything in my power to get you to come out—within reason—as long as it is to your advantage as well as mine. So, Lee, please think this over carefully; this is an awfully important time of my life and since you mentioned on the phone that you too felt things were unsettled, I have dared to hope. I have meetings set up with Marlon and also with my attorneys and will phone you if there are any important new developments. Otherwise, please get in touch with me.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Strasberg was an Austrian-born actor, director, and theatre practitioner who cofounded the Group Theatre in 1931 and, twenty years later, became the director of the prestigious Actor’s Studio in New York City. While living in Manhattan, Monroe became Strasberg’s most popular student, bringing great attention to the acting studio while esteeming Strasberg as a sort of father figure. Starting with the divorce of husband Arthur Miller, 1961 was a difficult year for Monroe, who was beset by a host of ailments and canceled her lone acting project when NBC refused to hire Strasberg as the director. Monroe moved back to California in the spring and, in her attempt to “live decently and productively,” sought to create a new production company with the aid of Marlon Brando and Strasberg, to who she admits: “without working with you only half of me is functioning.” The extent of Monroe’s adoration for Strasberg is represented in her final will, in which she bequeathed all of her personal belongings and seventy-five percent of her estate to the acting coach. Redolent of the desperation that consumed the final months of her life, this is a rare and intimate letter from the legendary starlet. Starting Bid $2500

Monroe is seen wearing this exact belt in photographs taken at Ciro’s Nightclub circa September 1951 and at the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Luncheon, held on October 25th, 1951 (see lots 7267 and 7277), and it very closely resembles the one she wears on-screen in the 1951 comedy As Young As You Feel—it is quite possibly this same belt, as Marilyn often supplied her own accessories for wear in her earlier movie roles. She is also seen wearing this belt with a black cape-and-gown outfit on February 14, 1953, in photographs taken at the wedding reception of Hollywood gossip columnist Sheilah Graham and in a photograph taken by Andre de Dienes at a bookstore.

Lines in a poem about life and death on pages 195–196 have been lightly underlined in pencil, presumably done by Monroe to underscore text that appealed to her. This book can be seen in multiple photographs taken in her various apartments between 1951 and 1953. Marilyn counted her personal library as one of her prized possessions, and though she lived quite a transient lifestyle and apparently wasn’t that fussed about material things, she packed up her books and took them with her wherever she moved. The opportunity to acquire such a volume, so frequently captured with Marilyn in her varied photo shoots, rarely comes about. In fine condition, with light age toning to the interior pages.

Burt Reynolds wins ‘Favorite Motion Picture Actor’ at the 1984 People’s Choice Awards 7331. Burt Reynolds People’s Choice Award.

This gorgeously rendered crystal award in the shape of a flame was made by Orrefors and is etched with the image of hands clapping, with lower base section neatly engraved: “The People’s Choice Award, 1984, Burt Reynolds, Favorite Motion Picture Actor.” Lower edge of base marked: “Orrefors Olle Alberius 1985 No. 7 R. P.” In very good to fine condition, with some missing glass to an area of cracking to bottom left of flame, and a handful of chips and dings, notably to top edge and back left edge of base, and a tiny chip to flame tip; despite its flaws, the award remains impressive and entirely displayable. Accompanied by a color transparency of Reynolds holding this very award. One of the biggest stars of the 1970s, Reynolds received this People’s Choice Award in 1984 during the beginning of his career downturn.

CONTEMPORARY COSTUMES & PROPS Gemini 8 instrument panels from the Oscarwinning film First Man 7558. First Man Screen-used Gemini Capsule Panels. Outstanding group
of screen-used set decorations from the Oscar-winning 2018 film First Man, consisting of four true-to-life replica sections of the interior of the Gemini 8 capsule, instrument panels that were prominently featured in the film’s harrowing ‘Agena spin’ sequence with Ryan Gosling and Christopher Abbott acting as Command Pilot Neil Armstrong and Pilot Dave Scott. The panels range in size from approximately 9.75˝ x 11.75˝ x 3˝ to 20˝ x 22˝ x 14˝, and include: the Command Pilot’s main instrument panel, which received the most screen time and is featured repeatedly in quick close-up shots as Gosling attempts to halt the tumbling Gemini capsule, with replicated instruments including a roll rate gauge (viewed full-screen several times) and a flight director/attitude indicator (not the one used in the film, but a closely matching example); a circuit breaker panel located to the immediate left of Gosling during the scene, featuring 41 switches; a circuit breaker panel located to the immediate right of Abbott, featuring 41 switches; and an overhead panel located between Gosling and Abbott, featuring 64 switches. In overall fine condition, with expected wear from use; the propulsion quantity indicator is detached from panel, but is entirely capable of being reattached to main panel. Accompanied by several images of the panels as they were seen in the film. Among the most impressive modern screen-used film props we’ve ever offered, these four panels were painstakingly designed and assembled to accurately duplicate the pilot console of the Gemini 8 spacecraft. The incredible attention to detail put into First Man, a biopic on the life of Apollo 11 moonwalker Neil Armstrong, was recognized with four Academy Award nominations—Best Production Design, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects—with the film winning the latter due to its many dramatic launch and space-related sequences. While screen-used props remain uncommon, large set decorations such as these, created with such immense skill and care, are rarely seen offered at auction—incredible Gemini 8 replica instrument panels that are, in and of themselves, intricate works of art ideal for collectors of space or cinema.

ANIMATION Harry Kleiman, Animation Expert Like most children who grew up in the Sixties, I watched Saturday morning cartoons and Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color. Beyond simply enjoying them, I was curious as to how they were made and eagerly reached out to Hanna-Barbera Studios and Walt Disney Productions—within weeks I received packages from each including informational booklets and publicity materials. Being an impressionable eleven-year-old boy, I was ecstatic! I wrote to every Studio and animator in Hollywood I was able to find an address for. They all told me about animation and gave me free hand-painted cels and drawings. I was fascinated with the beauty of animation and wanted to learn and collect as much as I could. In the summer of 1968, when our family moved to Los Angeles, I was able to actually visit the studios to see how animation was made. Nearly everyday after school for the next six years, I visited the animation studios and related companies in the LA area. Everyone was extremely nice to me, and not only did my love for animation grow, my love for the generation of people that made these very special cartoons perhaps surpassed it. I think I had more fun visiting with the people, hearing their stories, and learning from them—even more than getting the free cels and drawings. My dream was to meet Walt Disney, so I asked every Disney-related person I met, “what was it like to work with him.” I like to think I got to know him pretty well even though I never truly got to meet him. Despite that, I was privileged enough to meet and converse with, just to name a few: Walter Lantz, Bob Clampett, Bill Hanna, Joe Barbera, Bob Singer, Tiger West, Harry Love, Alex Lovy, Norm Prescott, Chuck Jones, Robert McKimson Sr., and Jr., Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston, Frank Thomas, Les Clark, John Lounsbery, Ward Kimball, Don Foster, June Foray, Ducky Nash, Jay Ward, Andy Engman, Grim Natwick, Tex Avery, Friz Freleng, Eyvind Earle, Toby Bluth, Don Bluth, Gary Goldman, several Bill Melendez Studio animators, John Pomeroy and many, many, more—including hundreds of ‘ink and paint’ ladies, story people, camera operators, and film editors.

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.

Buyer’s Premium: 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. Buyer’s premium for our Sports Auctions is 20%. 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. Pennsylvania sales or use tax may be due in connection with the purchase and delivery of tangible personal property to Pennsylvania individuals and businesses. The purchaser is required to file a use tax return if tax is due in connection with the purchase and delivery in the Commonwealth.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 behalf 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 pre-register 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
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.
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.
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.
Sales Tax: RR Auction is a remote seller and we are now required to collect Sales/ Use Tax from our bidders.

When RR Auction has achieved a certain monetary and/or invoice threshold in each state we will apply sales tax to your total invoice. Please go to our terms on our website to see the states that are affected.
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.

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.

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