Apple Computer check “No. 2,” signed by

Jobs and Woz—a 1976 payment to a printed circuit board company as the Apple-1 came into existence

5001. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak Signed 1976 Apple Computer Check No. 2 to PCB Maker. Historic Wells Fargo bank check, 7.5 x 3, filled out and signed by Steve Jobs, “steven jobs,” and countersigned by Steve Wozniak, “Steve Wozniak,” payable to Ramlor, Inc. for $116.97, March 19, 1976. This temporary check, issued upon opening Apple’s first bank account, bears the same routing and account numbers as other early Apple Computer Company checks we have offered—those, however, date to July 1976 and are imprinted with Apple’s first official address at ‘770 Welch Rd., Ste. 154, Palo Alto’—the location of an answering service and mail drop that they used while still operating out of the famous Jobs family garage. In very fine condition.

Marked as check “No. 2,” this ultra-early check pre-dates the official founding of Apple Computer, Inc.—some thirteen days later, on April 1, 1976, co-founders Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne would sign the partnership agreement that officially brought Apple Computer into existence. The agreement assigned 45% of the company to each of the Steves, and 10% to Wayne. It also required any expenditure over $100 to be approved by two of the partners—perhaps the reason that both Jobs and Woz signed this check.

Based on the early date, this check for $116.97 to Ramlor, Inc.—a Palo Alto–area printed circuit board maker—likely represents payment for boards affiliated with the first Apple-1 Computers. The product was originally conceived as a PCB kit to be soldered together by the end user, a standard practice for hobbyist computer kits of the period. However, the scope of the project broadened when they approached Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world.

Terrell offered to buy 50 of the computers-at a wholesale price of $500 a piece, to retail at $666.66—but only if they came fully assembled. With this request, Terrell aimed to elevate the computer from the domain of the enthusiast to the realm of the mainstream consumer. Wozniak later placed Terrell’s purchase order in perspective: ‘That was the biggest single episode in all of the company’s history. Nothing in subsequent years was so great and so unexpected.’

Between the exceptionally early date of this check, the payee as a PCB maker, and the fact that it is signed by the two figures that drove Apple’s initial success, this is an extraordinary, museum-quality piece of tech history. Starting Bid $5000

Historic early advertising draft for the “Apple

1975 or 1976

5002. Steve Jobs Handwritten Advertisement for the Apple-1 Computer. Original handwritten advertisement for the Apple-1 Computer penned entirely in the hand of Steve Jobs, who incorporates his full signature in lowercase print, “steven jobs,” into contact information at the bottom of the sheet, which also lists his parents’ home address and phone number, “11161 Crist dr., Los Altos, Ca 94022, (415) 968-3596,” the original headquarters of the Apple Computer Company. Penned neatly in black ink on an off-white 8.5 x 11 binder sheet, the advertisement, which essentially serves as a rough draft specification sheet for the Apple-1, was given to the consignor during a visit to Jobs’ garage in 1976. Jobs heads the sheet “Apple Computer-1” and states that it uses either a 6800, 6501, or 6502 microprocessor, noting in parentheses that the 6501 or 6502 are “recommended because we have basic.” He continues with an “on board” breakdown: “All Power Supplies, 8K bytes of RAM (16 pin 4K dynamic), full crt terminal—input: ASC11 Keybd, output: composite vidio, fully expandable to 65K via edge connector, 58 ic’s which includes 16 for 8K ram!! Monitor software (for 2 proms on board (256 bytes)) included.” Curiously, Jobs affirms “basic on the way (ROM),” which never materialized for the Apple-1, but did the

following year for the Apple II. He then concludes by quoting a $75 price for “board only + manual, a real deal.” According to Apple historian Corey Cohen, the technical specifications of this handwritten advertising draft match neatly with the original two-page promotional flyer for the Apple-1, a copy of which is included.

Includes two original color glossy 3.5 x 4.25 Polaroid photos taken at The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, which depicts an Apple-1 computer board fully assembled with an accompanying keyboard and monitor, and an Apple-1 computer screen displaying an Apple Basic program, counting incrementally from line 1 to line 7, which states at the bottom: “This is the Apple System from Apple Computer Co., 11161 Crist Dr. Los Altos, CA 940, (415 \ 968-3596, Steven.” The lower border of the latter photo is annotated in pencil by Jobs, who writes: “fuzzy because camera wiggled.” In very good to fine condition, with slightly irregular toning, partial separation along one of the intersecting folds, and small areas of paper loss, not affecting any readability. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient. Starting Bid $5000

Computer-1,” written entirely by “steven jobs” in

Remarkable 1975 Atari “Astrochart”

archive, copiously annotated by 20-year-old developer/designer Steve Jobs

5003. Steve Jobs Hand-Annotated Atari Horoscope Program Archive. Historic archive pertaining to the development of “Astrochart,” an astrology/horoscope application that Steve Jobs was working on for Atari in the summer of 1975, one year prior to founding Apple Computer. The archive comprises a handwritten/hand-sketched design by Jobs for a user interface; an eight-page manuscript in another hand that provides a conceptual flow chart for the program, with a few handwritten notations by Jobs throughout; two typed reports prepared by Jobs for Stephen Bristow pertaining to the derivation/computation of planetary coordinates and astrological times; a horoscope printout for Steve Jobs; and several pages of code and program printouts.

The highlight of the archive is ostensibly Jobs’s hand-sketched design for Astrochart’s user interface, accomplished in red ballpoint on a 6 x 4 sheet. Evidently conceived in the vein of an arcade cabinet, the user would input date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth using physical buttons or switches— above the time display, Jobs ponders, “thumbwheel from 1–12?”—and would then receive their horoscope by pushing a “Ready” button. He also envisions a “Famous People” button, which might bring up a list to choose from—a playful addition meant to capitalize on society’s fascination with celebrities. Most significantly, this piece demonstrates Steve Jobs’s natural talent for creating simplified, user-friendly interfaces between humans and computers.

Further, this archive reveals Jobs’s technical skill as he works through the complicated derivation of planetary coordinates and the challenges of developing an efficient software program. In the flow chart for the application, a programmer has described in detail the steps and methods for calculating the user’s zodiac symbol. Jobs makes several small notes and corrections throughout. For example, in a section about data input, Jobs writes: “Since only integer desired: sub 15 and increment register. No divide needed.” For calculating midheaven, Jobs notes: “Convert radians to minutes X(244080/71).” On the last page, he sketches a table of calendar and zodiac sign values necessary for such computations.

The papers prepared by Jobs for Stephen Bristow, his supervisor at Atari, include a ten-page report entitled “Where are the stars?” and an eight-page report entitled “Because it is.” In the first, Jobs defines Astrochart’s final equations for calculating

planetary coordinates. He makes a few handwritten notations throughout. On a page of equations, Jobs writes: “If planetary parameters are given in degrees—use conversion 71/4068.” He makes several additional notes on the last page, modifying the “Final Moon Correction Terms” and “Subroutine Arc Tangent.” The second paper concerns “the calculation of GMT, Sidereal Time, Ascendant, Midheaven and Absolute Day,” and has no handwritten notations. Both are marked “All-One Farm Design” on the cover sheets, a name Jobs appropriated from the commune he frequented at the time.

Also noteworthy is the eight-page dot-matrix printout of Jobs’s horoscope from Call Computer in Mountain View, California, dated August 23, 1975, headed: “This horoscope has been prepared for Steven Jobs.” Using his birth date of February 24, 1955, the 20-year-old Steve Jobs receives his horoscope with interpretations of his natal planetary positions and aspects. Several of these interpretations—making note of “creativity in routine matters,” “desire for growth,” and “eccentricity or unorthodox response”—offer fascinating insight when considered within the context of Steve Jobs’s life and career. The document notes that it was “Computed on a BASIC Time-Sharing 3000 Computer.” The archive also includes about 25 pages of computer program and code printouts, one annotated by Jobs with definitions for parameters “r1” through “r6.” In overall fine condition.

In 1974, Jobs was perusing the tech industry’s help-wanted classifieds in the San Jose Mercury when an Atari headline caught his eye: ‘Have fun, make money.’ When the unkempt teen showed up in Atari’s office—and refused to leave until they gave him a job—the personnel manager didn’t know whether to let him in or call the cops. Knowing that the dropout youngster would be cheap to hire, Atari’s chief engineer—Pong creator Allan Alcorn—said: ‘Send him in!’ Since Jobs knew how to solder and wire wrap, he was hired on as a technician. In this archive, Jobs provides some “Astrochart” equations and concepts to his supervisor, Stephen Bristow—the video game pioneer who helped develop the design concept of Breakout, and assigned Jobs to that project. In an interview with retrogamer.net, Bristow recalled: ‘Steve Jobs always had an appreciation of his own ability. He wasn’t allowed onto the production floor because he wouldn’t wear shoes, only sandals. There was a special-ness to him.’ Starting Bid $1000

Steve Jobs sets the stage for the desktop publishing revolution— remarkable

1982 software development contract for the “MacIntosh Word Processor”

5004. Steve Jobs Signed 1982 Apple Contract for Macintosh Word Processor. DS, signed “steven jobs, chairman,” twelve pages, 8.5 x 11, July 12, 1982. Significant “Computer Software Development Agreement” between Apple Computer, Inc., and Randy Wigginton, as a semi-independent developer for a “MacIntosh Word Processor” and core editing routines. The contract provides the terms of the deal, including equipment to be loaned to Wigginton by Apple (“2 MacIntosh computer, 1 Lisa computer, 1 ProFile Disk Drive”), milestones to be met, and compensation/royalties to be paid. Signed at the conclusion in blue ballpoint by Steve Jobs as chairman of Apple Computer (“steven jobs, chairman”), and countersigned in black felt tip by Wigginton as the developer (“K. R. Wigginton, Member, Technical Staff”). In fine condition.

This significant document set the stage for the desktop publishing revolution—led by the Macintosh computer and MacWrite software—introduced two years later in 1984. Randy Wigginton was originally hired in 1976 as Apple Computer employee #6, making several key contributions to the company’s early, cutting-edge work in hardware and software: he collaborated Steve Wozniak on the circuit design and ROM software for the Apple II in 1977, contributed to the RWTS (read/write tracksector) routines for the Disk II floppy system, developed an early spreadsheet program, and was a member of the original Apple Macintosh design team. Wigginton left Apple in September 1981 to work independently, but was soon contracted by Apple to help work on MacWrite on a semi-formal basis—the project outlined in the present document.

During this period, Apple was developing the Macintosh—an accessible personal computer which offered a radically new approach, featuring a graphical user interface (GUI), built-in

screen, and mouse. All of these revolutionized the user’s experience, marking the transition from command-line computing to a point-and-click model. In order for the Macintosh to be a success, it had to ship with ‘killer applications’ that demonstrated the new interface to the fullest extent. These would become MacWrite and MacPaint—a WYSIWYG word processor and a raster graphics editor, both of which introduced consumers to the possibilities of the GUI and propelled the broad adoption of the Macintosh.

In its preamble, this document acknowledges the importance of MacWrite in the Macintosh rollout: “Wigginton is in the business of developing computer products and has developed a computer software program described below that Apple recognizes is of value to its product marketing plans.” Per the agreement, Wigginton shall own “the Product (including source code and object code)” while granting Apple “the exclusive license to market the Product for the MacIntosh family of computers only.” However, Wigginton agrees that “as of the time that Apple first distributes copies of the core editing routines as part of a system sold to the public, then the license of the core editing routines hereunder is hereby converted to a transfer of ownership to Apple of all rights, title and interest in the core editing routines for use on any computer.” The core editing routines—representing the ability to manipulate elements like font styles, fractional character width, leading, and full justification—were critical to the WYSIWYG process and were necessary to deliver a professional layout on a personal computer.

A remarkable, early Macintosh document signed by Steve Jobs as Apple’s chairman, representing a pioneering product in the field of personal computing. Starting Bid $5000

Charming Steve

5005. Steve Jobs Typed Letter Signed to Student on Starting in Electronics (1983). TLS signed “steve jobs,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, Apple Computer letterhead, November 30, 1983. Letter to Scott Rossignol, a young student who wrote to Jobs as part of a school project. In full: “Thanks for your letter; it’s really great to hear from people who are as excited about our products as we are. It sounds like you’ve got some great ideas already… a lot of us didn’t get started on electronics until we were much older than you are now, so you’re off to quite a good start. I’m afraid I don’t have any pictures to autograph; I hope this letter is sufficient.” In very fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.

A notoriously difficult signer, Steve Jobs routinely declined most requests—whether in person or through the mail, he very rarely satisfied the appeals of autograph seekers. In this letter, he takes the time to encourage a young electronics enthusiast who had written with compliments on his Apple products and a request for a signed photograph. While Jobs declines to send a picture, he closes the letter with a fine, bold example of his distinctive lowercase signature.

The consignor recalls: ‘Back in 1983, while attending Wisdom Junior/Senior High School in the very small town of St. Agatha, Maine, our 7th grade teacher Mr. Morin had a special project for the class: Write to someone famous and see if we could get them to send us an autographed picture.

Some of my classmates choose actors. Some chose athletes. I chose Steve Jobs. My letter expressed my interest in the Apple computers that we had in our computer lab as well as my excitement for the newer models Apple was releasing. I told him of my interest in computers and electronics and was likely to go into that field as I had a few ideas of my own.

I was surprised to receive a response from him, but more surprised at the personal tone of the letter. I have managed to hold on to that letter for close to 40 years. It has been with me after many, many moves and I’ve never lost track of it. I recently reached to out to my fellow classmates to see if they remembered this project and to see if any of them had received anything from any of the people they had written to. Most remembered the project, but as far as I know, none had received anything back.’ Starting Bid $1000

Rare oversized NeXT launch poster, signed by founder Steve Jobs

5007. Steve Jobs Signed 1988 NeXT Computer Launch Poster. Rare original color 37 x 16.75 NeXT Inc. launch poster for the upcoming release of the NeXT Computer, which depicts a NeXT Computer workstation with screen, keyboard, mouse, and laser printer, signed neatly in the lower border in thin black felt tip, “steve jobs.” The lower border also features black caption text, “October 12, 1988, Computing Advances To The NeXT Level,” and NeXT’s iconic logo designed by Paul Rand. Affixed to a same-size foamcore mount and in fine condition, with scattered light scuffing and some wear to edges. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services.

The ‘NeXT Introduction’ was held at the Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, California, on October 12, 1988. More than 3000 invitations were sent out to educators, software developers, and media members, the majority of whom were excited to witness the comeback of the event’s speaker, Steve Jobs, who had all but shunned public appearances since leaving Apple three years prior. Upon taking the stage, Jobs informed the attendees that ‘it’s great to be back.’ Jobs’ prized signature, the NeXT association, and the launch poster’s size and attractive imagery combine to make this a display piece of tremendous interest. Starting Bid $1000

5008. Steve Jobs (2) NeXT Business Cards. Rare set of two NeXT, Inc. business cards of Steve Jobs, containing an uncommon early example (presumably a test or proof version) and the final iteration of the card. The cards are nearly identical, with both identifying the card as belonging to “Steven P. Jobs, President,” and the right sides featuring NeXT’s iconic logo designed by Paul Rand above the address, “3475 Deer Creek Road,” and phone and fax numbers of the company’s headquarters. The card differences include size—the earlier version is 3.25˝ x 2˝ and the final version is 3.5˝ x 2˝—the location of Jobs’ name and position, the full spelling of “California” on the final version, the placement of “Fax” in parentheses on the early card, and the color of the ‘e’ in the NeXT logos (the final is yellow and the early card is orange). Moreover, the final version of the card is of standard cardstock material, whereas the earlier example was produced on lighter paper. In overall very good to fine condition, with marks and wear to the edges of the earlier card, which bears light creases to upper corners and a ding to bottom edge; the final version has trivial toning to the upper corner tips, the left of which bears a very slight crease. Accompanied by a sealed copy of the software utility SPAMM (System Program for Accelerated Macintosh

Mathematics) by Bravo Technologies; the consignor worked as a developer at Bravo and was presented with these cards by Apple Macintosh marketing executive Joanna Hoffman.

Having been ousted from Apple in the fall of 1985, Jobs founded the innovative NeXT project, a computer and software company aimed at business and higher education markets. The first NeXT Computer was introduced in 1988 with great fanfare thanks to Jobs’s marketing strategy. At NeXT, Jobs helped develop a pioneering ‘fingerless’ automated manufacturing line in Silicon Valley. He believed that keeping the design, development, and manufacturing in close proximity—all in a single plant, rather than outsourced overseas—would help NeXT out-innovate its competitors by allowing continuous improvement of their products.

NeXT occupied the 3475 Deer Creek Road address from 1986 to 1989, where the staff was spoiled by fancy perks such as hi-fi systems and an unlimited supply of fresh juice. The luxurious common area featured large Ansel Adams prints, hardwood floors, a kitchen with granite countertops, and 12seat U-shape sofas. Starting Bid $300

Accompanied by two 5 x 8 pads of Pixar stationery and a Pixar booklet containing the “1996 Report to Shareholders.” Starting Bid $200

Sought-after fully operational Apple-1 computer signed by Steve Wozniak, in its handmade period case with built-in keyboard

5011. Apple-I Computer. A sought-after fully operational Apple-1 computer (also commonly known as the Apple I, or Apple Computer 1), complete with its period custom-built case, keyboard, and power supply. This Apple-1 is easily identifiable by two small holes which have been used to secure the keyboard cable when mounted in the case, and by Steve Wozniak’s signature, “Woz,” in the prototype area, signed during a 2017 event at Bryant University.

This Apple-1 was acquired by the current owner in 1980 at the Computer Hobbyist Show in Framingham, Massachusetts, and the computer was in use throughout the 1980s. It was brought to an operational state by Corey Cohen at the myapplecomputer labs in May/June 2023, and a video of it running and functioning is available upon request. A comprehensive, technical condition report prepared by Cohen is available to qualified bidders.

The set includes:

• original Apple-1 ‘NTI’ board

• original Apple Cassette Interface (ACI)

• period aluminum and laminate paneling case featuring a built-in keyboard, with Triad and Stancor transformers

• modern replicas of the Apple-1 Operation Manual and Apple Basic User Manual

• period Xerox copy of the Apple-1 Operation Manual

• compatible RCA video monitor (circa 1987) with Apple-1 video cable

• photograph of Steve Wozniak signing the board in 2017

Continued on to the next page.

This Apple-1 has the original rare white MOS MCS6502 microprocessor dated the 15th week of 1976 in good condition, and a replacement Motorola MC6820P dated the 24th week of 1977. The Apple-1 memory and IO jumpers have been wired to support executing Apple Basic on an 8K memory system. The wiring and pads are consistent with systems sold with 8k of system memory at purchase time with the Apple Cassette Interface (ACI) and Apple-1 Basic (Integer Basic). There is an additional IO Jumper to enable an unknown accessory at memory bank A000. All memory configuration solder pads are intact and un-damaged. This Apple-1 board has had some repairs, including the replacement of two power regulators and the MC6820P, and a few corrected circuit traces.

The Apple-1 was originally conceived by Steve Jobs and Steve ‘Woz’ Wozniak as a bare circuit board to be sold as a kit and completed by electronics hobbyists, their initial market being Palo Alto’s Homebrew Computer Club. Seeking a larger audience, Jobs approached Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world. Aiming to elevate the computer beyond the realm of the hobbyist, Terrell agreed to purchase

50 Apple-1 computers, but only if they were fully assembled. The Apple-1 thus became one of the first ‘personal’ computers which did not require soldering by the end user—however, they did not come with a power supply, case, keyboard, or monitor, leaving these up to the end user. Thus, homemade hobbyist cases like this are both individually unique and integral to the story of the Apple-1. This case is designed to have the Apple-1 board mounted beneath the keyboard area, with the power supply housed in the rear; the rear of the case has provisions for connection to the Apple Cassette Interface in/out. Although the keyboard has three broken key stems, it remains fully functional.

All together, over a span of about ten months from 1976–77, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers, selling 175 of them. Building on that success, they introduced the Apple II in June 1977, which became one of the world’s first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products. The Apple-1 is not only a marvel of early computing ingenuity, but the product that launched what is today one of the most valuable and successful companies in the world.

Functional Apple Lisa 2/10—the feature-rich predecessor of the Macintosh

The Apple Lisa 2/10, released in 1984, boasted advanced features that were revolutionary for its time. Its 12-inch monochrome display with a resolution of 720x364 pixels offered crisp and clear graphics, setting new standards for graphical user interfaces. The Lisa 2/10 was equipped with an impressive 5-megahertz Motorola 68000 processor, delivering

its era.

This computer holds a special place in computing history not only for its technological advancements but also due to its limited production run. Apple produced a relatively small number of Lisa 2/10 units, estimated to be around 10,000. This exclusivity contributes to its desirability among collectors and technology enthusiasts. The Lisa 2/10 was primarily intended for business and professional use, offering powerful capabilities for tasks such as document creation, spreadsheet analysis, and graphical presentations. It was often utilized in corporate environments and educational institutions, where its advanced graphical user interface and productivity software made it an attractive choice for those seeking a more intuitive computing experience.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the consignor: “I worked for Apple Computer from approximately 1982 until 1985 in an assembly plant it owned in Garden Grove, California; the plant was sold to Alps Electric in 1985, I believe. I was a material planner for the Apple Mouse product, among other products, and I began working there after the Lisa came out and just before the Mac was introduced. The engineers in charge of overseeing mold-making made 20 or so clear plastic mice; I assume to get a better view of the functioning of the internal parts of the mice (though it may be that they did it just for the heck of it!). Some of us involved in the Mac mouse project were each given one of the mice. Mine has never been used.” Starting Bid $300

5017. Apple Computer Prototype Mouse (1984).

The mouse likewise features a see-through cable with internal rainbow wiring that ends with a clear DE-9 connector. In fine, never-before-used condition.

5018. Apple II Plus Bare Logic Board (1979). Early Apple II Plus bare logic board (green/copper), 8.5˝ x 14.25˝, featuring the “Apple Computer, Inc.” logo with a copyright date of 1979, and marked with part number “820-0001-07.” The board is cracked/bent at the lower left corner. Released in June 1979, the Apple II Plus was the second model in the Apple II series. Starting Bid $100

5019. Apple IIe Prototype Logic Board (1981). Rare Apple IIe prototype logic board #64 (of approximately 100 known to be made), known as the ‘Super II,’ marked on the edge with a 1981 copyright date and part/serial numbers, “SK4501-10, 620-XXXX-.” This unreleased prototype predates the release of the retail Apple IIe by two years, developed primarily to stop clone makers from copying Apple’s design. The board is marked with the names of designers Walt Broedner and John MacPhee below the Apple Computer, Inc. logo. Several of the chip sockets are unpopulated. Starting Bid $200

5020. Apple IIe P.A.L. Prototype Bare Logic Board (1982). European-spec Apple IIe P.A.L. prototype/development bare logic board (transparent), 9.25˝ x 11.75˝, featuring the “Apple Computer” logo at the top with a copyright date of 1982, as well as part/serial numbers, “820-0073-B, 607-0664-.” Developed for the European market, the Apple IIe was designed to support the 50 Hz PAL video standard instead of the 60 Hz NTSC video standard used in America. Starting Bid $200

Bare Logic Board (1982). Early Apple IIe (Rev. A) bare logic board (green), 9.75˝ x 12˝, featuring the “Apple Computer, Inc. / Made in Singapore” logo at the bottom, and “Apple IIe, (c) 1982” at the top, marked with part number/serial numbers, “820-0064-A, 607-0164-.” Released as the third model in the Apple II series in January 1983, the Apple IIe was manufactured and sold for nearly 11 years with relatively few changes, giving it the distinction of being the longest-lived computer in Apple’s history. Starting Bid $200

5021.

Very early Apple II bare logic board (green), 14.25˝ x 8.5˝, featuring the “Apple Computer, Inc.” logo with a copyright date of 1978. The part number, “8200001-04,” corresponds with the Apple II revision 4.

The early success of the Apple-1 in 1976 paved the way for the introduction of the Apple II in the spring of 1977. In Apple’s 1980 IPO prospectus, the company described its progress: ‘In April 1977 the Company introduced the Apple II computer mainframe which was similar to the Apple I but incorporated additional circuitry and a keyboard, and was packaged in a plastic housing.’ In other words, the Apple II built upon the Apple-1 to become an even more capable, more consumer-ready machine. Between 1977 and 1980, on the sales of the Apple II and its peripherals, accessories, and software, Apple Computer’s yearly revenue grew from $774,000 to $118 million, making it one of the great growth stories of Silicon Valley. Starting Bid $200

The Apple IIc, released in April 1984, was Apple Computer’s first endeavor to produce a portable computer—it was essentially a complete Apple II squeezed into a smaller housing, and the ‘c’ stood for ‘compact.’ As the fourth model in the Apple II series of personal computers, it achieved lackluster success—outsold by the Apple IIe due to its greater expandability at the cost of a slightly larger size.

Starting Bid $200

The fifth and most powerful of the Apple II family, the Apple IIGS was released on September 15, 1986.

Starting Bid $200

5026. NeXT Sound Box Addressed to Steve Jobs. NeXT N4004 Sound Box in its original packaging, 13˝ x 6.25˝ x 11.25˝, with “Ship to” label addressed to the company’s famous founder: “Steve Jobs/NeXT CEO, 900 Chesapeake Drive, Building 1, Second Floor, Redwood City, CA 94063.” Complete with its power cable and serial Y-cable. The Sound Box is an integral piece in the NeXTstation system, used to connect the monitor, keyboard, and speakers. Interestingly, this example was found amidst the computer collection of former Apple executive Del Yocam, who was the executive vice president and general manager of the Apple II group (1983–1985), Apple’s first chief operating officer (COO) (1986–1988), and president of Apple Pacific (1989).

Having been ousted from Apple in the fall of 1985, Jobs founded the innovative NeXT project, a computer and software company aimed at the markets of business and higher education. The

first NeXT Computer was introduced in 1988 with great fanfare thanks to Jobs’s marketing strategy. At NeXT, Jobs helped to develop a pioneering ‘fingerless’ automated manufacturing line right in Silicon Valley. He believed that keeping the design, development, and manufacturing in close proximity—all in a single plant, rather than outsourced overseas—would help NeXT out-innovate its competitors by allowing continuous improvement of their products.

The 900 Chesapeake Drive address represents NeXT Computer’s second official office space, having moved there in 1989. The expensive office space featured an open floor plan with a ‘floating’ wood-and-steel staircase designed by famous architect I. M. Pei, and luxurious amenities such as $5,000 chairs, $10,000 sofas, and Ansel Adams prints on the walls. Starting Bid $200

Del Yocam’s NeXTstation Color workstation set, with box addressed to “Steve Jobs/NeXT CEO”

5027. Del Yocam’s NeXTstation Color Computer (Addressed to Steve Jobs) and Peripherals. Remarkable NeXTstation Color computer set, personally-owned by Apple executive Del Yocam, who was the executive vice president and general manager of the Apple II group (1983–1985), Apple’s first chief operating officer (COO) (1986–1988), and president of Apple Pacific (1989). Includes the NeXTstation Color workstation computer, NeXT MegaPixel 21-inch Color Display, NeXT Sound Box, NeXT CD-ROM Drive, and NeXT Color Printer, all in their original shipping boxes. Interestingly, the NeXTstation Color box is addressed to the company’s famous founder: “Steve Jobs/NeXT CEO, 900 Chesapeake Drive, Building 1, 2nd Floor, Redwood City, CA 94063.” The others are addressed to Del Yocam in Lake Oswego, Oregon. The printer and sound box both appear to be brand new, sealed in their original packaging. Additionally includes two NeXT keyboards and a modem with software for NeXT terminal emulation; no mouse is included.

This example of the NeXTstation Color, model no. N1200-0AE-16, features 16MB of DRAM, a 2.88MB floppy drive, and 400MB hard disk drive (the largest of the three available options). The NeXTstation Color was billed as a high-end workstation computer, combining ‘near-photographic quality color and an object-oriented operating and development environment in an easy-to-use, professional color workstation.’ The ability to display true color images made these systems ideal for publishing, presentations, graphic design, computer-aided design, data analysis, and virtually all other applications where color display capabilities were required. Its ‘pizza box’ form factor led to the computer being nicknamed ‘the slab,’ in contrast to the cube form of the original NeXT Computer.

After resigning from Apple in the fall of 1985, Steve Jobs founded the innovative NeXT project, a computer and software company aimed at the markets of business and higher education. The first NeXT Computer was introduced in 1988, and the smaller NeXTstation came two years later. While these computers encountered subpar sales, the object-oriented NeXTSTEP operating system and development environment proved highly influential. The OS offered an intuitive GUI with features like an application dock, true multitasking, drag-and-drop tools, large full-color icons, real-time scrolling, and other elements that are considered ubiquitous today. Unix derivatives incorporating NeXTSTEP would eventually power all of Apple’s platforms, including the iPhone. Apple purchased NeXT in 1997 for $429 million and 1.5 million shares of Apple stock, with Steve Jobs, as part of the agreement, returning to the company he had co-founded in 1976. Starting Bid $300

5028. Del Yocam’s ‘Bondi Blue’ iMac G3 Computer. Classic Apple iMac G3 computer in the original ‘Bondi Blue’ color, personally-owned by Apple executive Del Yocam, who was the executive vice president and general manager of the Apple II group (1983–1985), Apple’s first chief operating officer (COO) (1986–1988), and president of Apple Pacific (1989). The iMac is complete in its original packaging and box, which bears affixed shipping labels addressed to Del Yocam in Lake Oswego, Oregon, and the Apple UPC label identifying the unit as “Part #M6709LL/B, Serial #XB8411HTEUL.” It also lists the computer’s specifications:

“233MHZ/32MB SDRAM/4G IDE HD, 24X CD/56K Modem, 512K L2 Cache/10-100Base-T, OS 8.5.” Includes the accessory kit box, containing the original matching Apple keyboard and round mouse, OEM power cord, and some software. Starting Bid $200

5029. Apple Newton MessagePad 2100. A Newton MessagePad 2100 by Apple Computer with built-in 8MB of RAM (4MB of DRAM and 4MB of flash memory), 160-MHz StrongARM SA-110 RISC processor, built-in speaker and microphone for voice recording and playback, and more. The MessagePad comes with the original box and numerous featured accessories, including: a 9W power adapter, a stylus, its software disc and license booklet, two rechargeable battery packs, a serial cable, a Newton fax modem card, and a Newton keyboard with carrying pouch. In fine condition, with some wear to the box. The Newton MessagePad was one of the first series of handheld systems, or PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), to attempt to recognize natural handwriting and use a basic form of artificial intelligence to ‘tie’ relevant information together.

On November 7, 1997, Apple released the Newton MessagePad 2100, the last and best iteration of the company’s early line of handheld devices. Among its improvements over previous generations, the MessagePad 2100 packed expanded memory, enhanced speed, and upgraded communications software. Nevertheless, the Newton’s fate was sealed. Steve Jobs, freshly returned to Apple, scrapped the product line only months later. Starting Bid $200

Rare, complete example of the Bendix G-15 mini-computer—the third built in 1956

5051. Bendix G-15, the First Mini-Computer. Rare and historic example of the Bendix G-15 computer—considered by some to be the first ‘personal computer’ since it required just one person to operate. Though smaller than a room-sized mainframe, the Bendix G-15 is still quite large, weighing in at nearly 1,000 pounds and measuring about 3’ x 5’ x 3’. This is the third G-15 that was manufactured and sold by the Bendix Corporation, Computer Division, in 1956. It was originally serial number 3, but was later upgraded by Control Data Corporation, after they purchased the Bendix Computer Division, and rebadged on the front of the machine. The serial number was revised to add a “D” (as was the part number), reflecting the series it was upgraded to. Included with the G-15, also known as their General Purpose Computer, is (1) MTA-2 Magnetic Tape Unit (serial number 120), (1) ANC-2 Terminal Interface Box (serial number 124), (2) Master Writer typewriter terminals (one with a built-in G-15 interface, the other needing the ANC-2), and (1) Bendix tube tester. Cables needed to connect all devices are also included, as is a selection of G-15 literature with operating manuals, programming books, and sales brochures. All items are in fair to good cosmetic condition, but the machines have not been operated since the late 1960s or early 1970s: to make the system operational again would probably require extensive restoration. Note: Winning bidder is responsible for cost of shipping of the system from origin (New Jersey) to destination. Starting Bid $1000

5052. MITS Altair 8800 Computer. MITS Altair 8800 computer, serial no. 222719K, complete with the iconic Rev. 1 front panel (with “MITS Altair 8800 Computer” along the bottom) and sought-after Rev. 0 processor board with its original white ceramic and gold Intel 8080 CPU (marked “C8080A / N7285”). Among the other boards and upgrades are: the desirable MITS 2K PROM memory card (88-PMC), loaded with seven white ceramic 1702A EPROMS; the MITS 88-ACR/SIO board set (the desirable MITS cassette interface); PTCO 4KRA RAM board; video interface board; MITS 4-port parallel I/O interface board (88-4PIO); and upgraded power supply. Several of the original internal circuit card support brackets are cracked but present. The case’s rear panel bears the affixed MITS, Inc. ‘Creative Electronics’ serial number label.

Included are over 400 pages of documentation—including an

revolution

original “The Age of Altair” illustrated 22-page sales brochure, the Altair 8800 Assembly and Operator’s Manual, multiple BASIC and CPM manuals in an Altair binder, assembly and applications manuals for the included circuit boards—as well as twenty Altair BASIC, CPM 85, and Zenith CPM and BASIC 8˝ and 5.25˝ floppy disks once used with the system.

Often credited with igniting the ‘microcomputer revolution,’ the Altair 8800 was the first commercially successful personal computer. Interest in it grew after it was featured on the cover of the 1975 issue of Popular Electronics, and it was sold by mail order as both a hobbyist kit and as a fully assembled unit. When Bill Gates and Paul Allen read about the Altair in Popular Electronics, they saw the opportunity to start their own computer software company and developed Altair BASIC—the very first product created by ‘Micro-Soft.’ Starting Bid $1000

5056. Nixie Tubes (5) with Rare National Electronics Misprint. Rare set of five misprinted numeral Nixie tubes (cold cathode display) manufactured by National Electronics, each 1˝ x 1˝ x .75˝ and marked on an end: “1970 0009, National Elecsronics [sic] Inc.” In overall fine condition, with some fading to stamps.

A Nixie tube is a cold cathode tube that uses a glow discharge to display information. Unlike its warmer cousin—the vacuum tube—the cold cathode tech of Nixie tubes works like a neon lamp, generating less heat because of the gas that fills the tube and illuminates the number-shaped cathodes. In pop culture, the Nixie tube was featured prominently in the Pixar film Monsters, Inc. as the go-to digital display in Monstropolis, and, in the early 2000s, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak equipped himself with a tube-display Nixie digital watch made by David Forbes.

Demo-used prototypes for Engelbart’s eyes-free typing glove, The HandWriter

5059. Douglas Engelbart Personally-Used ‘The HandWriter’ Typing Glove Prototype. Amazing pair of early prototypes of The HandWriter typing glove that was co-developed by Douglas Engelbart and a team headed by Valerie Landau in early 2007. The HandWriter, a glove-based mobile keyboard designed for eyes-free, on-the-move usability, was conceptualized as an evolutionary upgrade to the five-key coding keyset, a device Engelbart introduced in tandem with the first computer mouse at his iconic 1968 ‘Mother of All Demos.’ The prototypes consist of a black left-handed gardening glove with gray grip, size medium, which Engelbart personally wore during a demonstration with Landau and noted tech blogger Robert Scoble in January 2008, and a black leather right-handed driving glove, size 7.5, which Landau wore during a HandWriter demo at the NextNow Collaboratory in Berkeley, California, in December 2008. Both gloves feature swatches of silver Laird shielding tape to the lower palm and fingertips that run the length of the back of the hand and terminate at the wrist, with Landau’s glove retaining its taped cluster of seven wires. Included with Landau’s glove is its original 8.75˝ x 4.75˝ fabric input pad, which was also used during the NextNow event. In overall fine condition.

In the early 1960s, Engelbart’s innovative mouse and chorded keyset combo enabled users to ‘fly’ through digital information, granting people the ability to enter commands and type with one hand, while moving around the screen and selecting with the other. While the keyset was meant to supplement—not replace—a traditional keyboard, the idea for the HandWriter, would, in essence, make the keyboard a nonnecessity. An intrepid idea even now, but Professor Landau and Engelbart were convinced: to create a modern version of mobile computing, traditional concepts needed tinkering.

In the spring of 2007, Landau received $12,500 in funding to research and develop a typing glove based on Engelbart’s ideas of binary typing. They called it the HandWriter. A visionary hand device developed for eyes-free and on-the-go situations, the HandWriter went through several working prototypes, two of which are presented here. The typing glove experimented with writing systems like Devanagari, Cyrillic, and Braille, and was tested by dozens of practical users, including college students, the vision impaired, and high-performance knowledge workers who would walk and take notes.Starting Bid $300

Early test gloves from Douglas Engelbart’s eyes-free mobile typing glove, The HandWriter

5060. Douglas Engelbart: ‘The HandWriter’ (6) Typing Glove Prototypes. Impressive grouping of six early prototypes of The HandWriter typing glove that was co-developed by Douglas Engelbart and a team headed by Valerie Landau in early 2007. The HandWriter, a glove-based mobile keyboard designed for eyes-free, on-the-move usability, was conceptualized as an evolutionary upgrade to the five-key coding keyset, a device Engelbart introduced in tandem with the first computer mouse at his iconic 1968 ‘Mother of All Demos.’ The prototypes consist of six gardening gloves, including two black left-handed gloves, blue right and left-handed gloves, and two green left-handed gloves, with sizes ranging from small to extra-large. All but one of the gloves feature swatches of silver Laird shielding tape that run the length of the back of the hand and terminate at the wrist, with four of the gloves retaining taped sections of wire; a large green glove with a white grip also includes its original control circuit card, with a label marked “PE020500, 01, 2006.46.”

Rare coding keyset developed

5061. Douglas Engelbart Coding Keyset. Desirable chorded keyset input device created by computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart, like that used in his iconic 1968 ‘Mother of All Demos.’ The rare keyset, measuring 5″ x 5.5″ x 1.25″, features five keys (permitting 31 key-press combinations), for typing and entering commands. The bottom is labeled “Demo” and “Owned by Doug Engelbart,” and has an affixed maintenance notice written and initialed by Engelbart: “Bad ‘b’ switch; spring too weak, or key binding. Oct 94, DCE.” The device retains its braided cord, terminating in a serial connector.

The five-button coding keyset was first publicly demonstrated in the ‘Mother of All Demos,’ where Engelbart presented many of the technological ideas that are now commonplace—including the computer mouse, hypertext, multiple windows, video conferencing, and shared editing of online documents. The keyset was meant to supplement—not replace—a traditional keyboard. Where a keyboard required a user to lift their hand from the mouse and look away from the screen, the keyset allowed them to continue using the mouse while typing by pressing down multiple switches simultaneously to make ‘chords,’ like a piano player. Using binary code, each ‘chord’ would input a specific character.

The keyset and Engelbart’s three-button mouse also worked together—the keyset’s 31 combinations permitted input of all 26 letters of the alphabet, plus standard punctuation marks (comma, period, semicolon, question mark, and space). Used in conjunction with the keyset, the mouse buttons functioned as shift and command keys: with the middle button pressed, letters shifted to uppercase and other punctuation marks were accessible; pressing the left mouse button allowed entry of numbers and a further selection of punctuation and symbols.

The ‘Mother of All Demos’ would prove to be massively influential, though it took well over a decade for Engelbart’s ideas to become mainstream. In the early 1970s, much of Engelbart’s original team ended up at Xerox PARC, where they continued their research in human-computer interaction and kept improving upon the mouse. While touring Xerox PARC in

1979, Steve Jobs witnessed the concepts of the mouse and the graphical user interface (GUI) in action. Impressed by their user-friendliness, he aimed to simplify and incorporate these intuitive features into Apple’s computers.

This is one of two chording keysets gifted by Engelbart to Valerie Landau during their collaboration on the development of new mobile input devices in 2010. They formed a company, Mobile Input Devices and Systems, that created a mobile text entry keypad and a typing glove as well as apps for the iPhone and iPad using Engelbart’s binary alpha-numeric code, Devanagari, Braille, and Russian.

Valerie Landau first met Douglas Engelbart in 1984 while in the Stanford University library looking for archival footage for a PBS documentary series called, ‘Silicon Valley.’ The curator asked her to transfer the film of ‘The Mother of All Demos’ onto video tape. While viewing the footage during the transfer process, Landau’s life was changed. The film crew interviewed Engelbart and after the TV show aired Engelbart asked her and the show’s producer to work with him to articulate his ideas. The two collaborated on a variety of projects for the following 28 years. They collaborated on creating an Educational Networked Improvement community and on the book The Engelbart Hypothesis: Dialogs with Douglas Engelbart as well as the Engelbart Historical Mural with Eileen Clegg.

For the 50th anniversary of the Mother of All Demos, Smithsonian Magazine commissioned Landau to write the article ‘How Douglas Engelbart Invented the Future: Two decades before the personal computer, a shy engineer unveiled the tools that would drive the tech revolution.’

Over the decades of friendship Valerie Landau also co-organized countless events with various groups to discuss and celebrate Engelbart’s work including two Program for the Future conferences as well as many birthday celebrations including one at Stanford University for his 81st birthday and The Tech Museum celebration for his 85th birthday.

5062. Douglas Engelbart Coding Keyset, iPad, and Signed Book. Fantastic chorded keyset input device created by computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart, like that used in his iconic 1968 ‘Mother of All Demos,’ and, later, circa 2010, in the invention of new mobile input devices as part of TipTap.mobi. The rare keyset, measuring 5″ x 5.5″ x 1.25″, features five keys (permitting 31 key-press combinations), for typing and entering commands. The device retains its braided cord, terminating in a serial connector. Additionally includes a first generation 16GB iPad and interface adapters used in the development of TipTap.mobi. The interface for using the keyset with the iPad was developed by Valerie Landau, Rob Stephenson, Evan Schaffer, and Eric Matsuno. In addition to an app, TipTap was created allowing users to input directly onto the iPad using chorded combinations in Braille, Engelbart’s binary input system, Devanagari, and Russian.

5063. Douglas Engelbart Signed and Hand-Drawn Mural: A Timeline for ‘The Co-Evolution of Human and Tool Systems’ - 24 Feet Long. Massive original hand-drawn history mural co-created and signed by computer pioneer Dr. Douglas Engelbart, entitled “The Co-Evolution of Human and Tool Systems,” which captures his seminal theories of ‘raising collective IQ’ and the ‘co-evolution of human and tool systems,’ ideas that inspired the invention of the computer mouse and his other world-changing technology innovations. Created in 2008 for display at the 40th-anniversary celebration of Engelbart’s iconic 1968 ‘Mother of All Demos,’ the mural measures 24´ x 4´ and features a sweeping illustrated timeline that depicts key events in technology and culture from 1925, the date of Dr. Engelbart’s birth, to 2010.

The mural was created on paper with markers and pastels by Engelbart, visual journalist Eileen Clegg, and Dr. Engelbart’s longtime collaborator, Valerie Landau. For Engelbart, the murals intended to capture his ideas in an open-ended way and to encourage fruitful discussion. He participated in many events with the mural, allowing people to approach and study it, share their thoughts and concerns, and add post-it notes with their ideas. Because of Engelbart’s theory that technology needed to co-evolve with culture, the mural’s artists included many diverse topics, from world events and psychological theories to even popular music of the time. By looking at the connections between cultural and technological shifts, mural viewers could identify patterns that helped them understand more deeply the problems of, and possibilities for, humanity. Accompanying the murals are photos showing Engelbart at various events with the mural and his fellow artists. Starting Bid $500

Enormous original expressionist painting of Nikola Tesla by

Giovanni

DeCunto

Nikola Tesla once said: ‘If you only knew the magnificence of 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.’ Giovanni DeCunto was inspired to create this piece to combine Tesla and the philosophy he deeply lived by. You will notice everything is connected in this piece between Tesla, 3,6, 9, Aristotle, and allowing the diversity of light reflection between natural light and UV light symbolizing the energy together in the universe.

DeCunto’s artist statement: ‘My paintings are my palette for chaos and order to collide. I take the high art and the low art, which is commonplace, and let them battle it out on the canvas. The contemporary issues confronted in the work provoke a response, both emotional and intellectual, and symbolize the struggle towards birth that our society now faces. We are at the beginning. Painting, to me, is the great equalizer. I paint for humanity. I call to arms; the eternal spirit of man, the builder, the organizer and the evolutionary spirit that creates civilizations. I am speaking of that common, human thread that the great thinkers of the past continue to teach to us; the common link which triumphs over adversity, poverty and injustice.’ Starting Bid $5000

It was an exciting time for video games, and the appreciation for innovative titles like Super Mario Bros. and Tetris has only grown with time.” At seven years old, Nicholas Membrez-Weiler was the youngest finalist to reach the world championship. The tournament was divided into three separate age groups—11 and under, 12 to 17, and 18 and over—and each of the tour’s 29 cities had one champion from each age group, except for Los Angeles, which hosted the tournament twice and produced two sets of finalists. These 90 finalists were invited to the world championships at Universal Studios, where Nicholas competed after winning the Seattle championship. The NWC finals were divided into three rounds, with all 30 finalists from each age group competing in an initial heat. From there, the top seven scorers advanced to the semifinal round, and then the top two scorers from the semifinal round faced off head-to-head. Despite waking up with a fever and flu-like symptoms, Nicholas logged the second-best score in his age group and advanced to the semifinal round. Ultimately, he finished the semifinal in fourth place and had to watch from the audience as Jeff Hansen bested Adam Misosky for the world championship title. Although he did not win the Nintendo World Championships, Nicholas Membrez-Weiler was a trailblazer for the early Esports community. Starting Bid $200

The Super Mario Bros. game pak and the NES are both encapsulated in a CAS authentication box, which scores the NES with a master grade of “80” and a real grade of “80.1.”

The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) debuted in North

America in late 1985 when interest in the video game industry had reached its nadir, the result of oversaturation, low-quality games, and the progression of personal computers. To turn the tide, Nintendo placed an emphasis on the production of superior games, a decision that led to the company’s courting of third-party developers and the establishment of strict licensing requirements. This approach attracted many talented developers and ensured the quality of NES games, resulting in a robust library of iconic games like The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Mega Man, and, most prominently, Super Mario Bros, which, as a pack-in game, became the system’s flagship title. Due to its popularity, Super Mario Bros. witnessed numerous revisions throughout its lengthy production run, with some changes obvious, and others minor. This version features a Round-SOQ with the Rev-A designation, which indicates that this early copy was manufactured before the switch to the Oval-SOQ was made in March 1989. Starting Bid $5000

Section 2

Bidding Privileges

2.1 In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established an account 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. Privileges will be granted at the sole 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 a cash deposit prior to RR Auction’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: RRAuction.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the Auction venue.

2.2 Bidder providing any false or misleading information provided in connection with the registration shall be a material breach of the Conditions of Sale and in addition to any other remedies at law shall excuse RR Auction from performance under these Conditions of Sale, including the right to any refund.

2.2 Bidding privileges may be revoked without notice, for any reason, at the sole discretion of RR Auction .

Buyer’s Premium

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 damages 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 interest 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 elsewhere. 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 reoffering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

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 Consignor, 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 fur-

Section 3

ther grants RR Auction a lien consisting of a senior security interest (or purchase money security interest to the extent applicable) 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than 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 presentment of an invoice. RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot.

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 requirements.

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 corporate 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 addition 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 Bidder’s property in their possession.

6.9 All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable 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. Authorize.net, a third-party service provider contracted by RR Auction for processing on-line payments, charges a nonrefundable service fee of 3%, which will be added to your final invoice should you pay by credit/debit card.

Section 8

Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges

Bidder is liable for shipping and handling and providing accurate information as to shipping or delivery locations and arranging for such. RR Auction is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that

service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction.

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

Section 9

Title

Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices of Bidder (including those pertaining to the item(s) at issue) and amounts owed to RR Auction are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.

Section 10

Rights Reserved

RR Auction reserves the right, at any time before, during or after an auction has ended to: withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction, cancel any bid, and/or to postpone the Auction of all or any lots or parts thereof, for any reason. RR Auction shall not be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal, cancellation, or postponement under any circumstances. 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 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 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. 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.

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 public 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 participating 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 (successively or otherwise) 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. 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 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.

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 conformity with ”donot-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 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.

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 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 subpart (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 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, 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 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.

13.3 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.

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 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 “AC”), to the exclusion 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).

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 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 remedy 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, employees 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 essence 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 respect 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 Conditions of Sale or such transaction operating as a complete waiver and general 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 determined by a known expert in the field (and one recognized by RR Auction 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 attribution 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 Conditions 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 Process, 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 incorrect (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 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 with explanation in writing.. If there is any discrepancy between the description 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 concurrently 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 CONSIDERED OR PROVIDED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BIDDERS OR AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. FAILURE 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 17 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.

Section 21: State-by-State Law Issues

This Auction is being conducted in and the sale shall take place in the State of Massachusetts.

THIS DEALER MAY BE SURETY BONDED OR OTHERWISE INSURED TO ENSURE THE AUTHENTICITY OF ANY AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLE SOLD BY THIS DEALER.

A written express warranty is provided with each autographed collectible, as required by law. This dealer may be surety bonded or otherwise insured to ensure the authenticity of any autographed collectible sold by this dealer.

Section 22 Glossary of Condition terms

Information provided to prospective Bidders with respect of any lot, including 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 condition, and is used sparingly for items of exceptionally attractive appearance.

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 majority of collectors.

VERY GOOD describes an item that we believe exhibits more moderate flaws (such as toning, light staining, professional reinforcements or repairs, 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 advertising, 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.
