The Beatles sign their names in the fields marked: “Brian Intros, Interviews the Beatles,” “The Beatles, ‘Ticket to Ride,’ ‘Yes it is,’” “Wind Up,” and “The Beatles Play Out, Super Roller.” The sheet is also signed by several other musicians who performed on the show that evening, including: Tom Jones, Peter Asher and Gordon Waller, Gene Pearson, Charlie Thomas, Johnny Moore, Johnny Terry, and Billy Davis of The Drifters, and the original Animals lineup of Hilton Valentine, Alan Price, Eric Burdon, Chas Chandler, and John Steel.

Rare Danish Beatles album signed by the group during a Harrods holiday shopping spree 9003. Beatles Signed Album. The Beatles’ Hottest Hits album signed and inscribed on the back cover in pencil, “To Carol, love from, George Harrison,” “Ringo Starr,” and “Paul McCartney, Thanks,” who draws a speech bubble leading to his mouth, and in red ballpoint, “John Lennon.” In very good to fine condition, with light soiling, slight warping, and several old touch-ups and repairs to tears and creases. Although the record is not included, this particular Beatles title remains very uncommon. The Beatles’ Hottest Hits was released in Denmark in April 1965, and was pulled from the market after a short time, with only a little over 3,000 albums pressed; the album is comprised of singles that weren’t featured in the band’s other albums. The first time we have ever offered this title. Accompanied by a letter of provenance, in part: “As Christmas 1965 loomed, Carol Hunter, No. 2 in Harrods PR department, unexpectedly received a telephone call from Brian Epstein. He asked if he could ‘bring ‘the boys’ in for some Christmas shopping.’ Carol went straight to Sir John Burbridge (then chairman and managing director of Harrods) to ask what should be done. Sir John said that the whole shop would have to be closed in view of the popularity of The Beatles and this was done… Once in the shop, Carol took them where they wanted to go—primarily to the food halls where they bought numerous hampers to give to their families and friends…Carol had the presence of mind to take a record sleeve and ask for it to be signed.” Starting Bid $2500

The following page features an interesting article about a Beatles Christmas Party concert, with an extract towards the end noting “Pete Best was also feeling bad, and Ringo Starr took over the skins at the Beatles Christmas Party.” Page seven contains an article by the Beatles headed “Parisian Rock,” which includes their take on the rock and roll music scene in Paris, as well as an article by Brian Epstein, headed “My Top Pops—1961,” which discusses his favorite singles of 1961. The back cover features an advertisement for forthcoming concerts at the Cavern Club, and lists the Beatles as performers on the 6th, 10th, 12th and 17th of January 1962.

Stage-used by the “Plastic Ono Band & Elephant’s Memory” during John Lennon’s 1972 Madison Square Garden charity shows 9006. John Lennon ‘Live in New York City’ Fender Dual Showman Amplifier Head. Amazing and exceedingly rare 1966
Fender Dual Showman amplifier head used on-stage by John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Elephant’s Memory Band during their famed ‘Live in New York City’ concerts at Madison Square Garden on August 30, 1972. Three of these identical Fender Dual Showman amps are seen in video footage of the Live in NYC/One-to-One benefit shows. Additionally, this amp head was also used in numerous rehearsals and recording sessions, as documented in photography by the legendary Bob Gruen. Serial no. A05389, the amp measures 24˝ x 8.5˝ x 9.25˝, and is stenciled on the top in white paint, “Plastic Ono Band & Elephant’s Memory.” The chassis of the amplifier—case, handle, corners, knobs, and so on—is entirely original; some of the electronic components—vacuum tubes, output capacitors, two potentiometers, and a few resistors—have been replaced, as it has seen continued use in a studio setting. It is worth noting that Fender gave the Beatles two Dual Showman amps in 1966, which Lennon used during the Revolver sessions; at this time, it is unknown whether or not this could be one of those amps. Includes a letter of provenance signed by Gary Van Scyoc, the bassist for Elephant’s Memory, in part: “After inspecting and evaluating the item listed, I, Gary Van Scyoc, certify that this 1966 Fender Dual Showman Amp chassis ser. no. 05389 is indeed the genuine amplifier used by John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band and Elephant’s Memory Band, of which I was a member of during the iconic August 30th, 1972 ‘John Lennon Live In New York City’ Madison Square Garden concert and subsequent live recording release of the said concert on February 10th, 1986, as well as numerous recording sessions for John Lennon, Yoko Ono and Elephant’s Memory during the period between 1972 and 1974.” Accompanied by a modern hardshell road case. Gear associated with the Plastic Ono Band and John Lennon’s post-Beatles career is virtually unheard of: Lennon never toured as a solo artist, and the One-to-One concerts at Madison Square Garden, benefitting the Willowbrook State School for intellectually disabled children, were his only full-length concert performances after leaving the Beatles. Given this lack of concerts, stage-used instruments and equipment are essentially nonexistent to begin with—and certainly few and far between in private hands. The consignor of this piece purchased it at Bronen’s Music in New York around 1981, and suspects that it had been traded in by Elephant’s Memory guitarist Wayne ‘Tex’ Gabriel, as he lived locally. As a tremendously rare stage-used amplifier from Lennon’s famous ‘Live In New York City’ show, this is an exceptional, museum-quality piece. Starting Bid $5000

In the hand of Lennon—an original poem, ‘Bernice’s Sheep,’ published in A Spaniard in the Works 9007. John Lennon Handwritten Poem. Marvelous original handwritten
poem by John Lennon entitled “Bernice’s Sheep,” published in his second book, A Spaniard in the Works, circa 1965, unsigned, penned in blue ballpoint on an off-white 7 x 10 sheet. The poem, in full (spelling retained): “1. This night I lable down to sleep / with hefty heart and much saddened / with all the bubbles of the world / Bratting my boulders / Oh dear sheep. / 2. I slapter counting one by one / Till I can cow no more this day / Till bethny hard aches leave we / Elbing my ethbreeds / Dear Griff’s son / 3. What keeps me alberts owl felloon / That is earl I ask from anybottle / That I grape me daily work / Cronching our batter / My own bassoon. / 4. Can I get a gribble of me / Should I heffer alway sickened / Should you nabbie my furbern / Wilfing their busbie / Oh dear me. / 5. No! I shall streze my eber-teap! / With lightly loaf and great larfter / With head held eye and all / Graffing my rhimber / Oh dear sheep.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. In ‘Bernice’s Sheep,’ Lennon merges his admiration for Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear with parody and satire, combining and inventing a language, rhythm, and orthography all his own. ‘All I’m trying to do is tell a story,’ said Lennon, ‘and what the words is spelt like is irrelevant really. But if they make you laugh because the word used to be spelt like that, that’s great. But the thing is the story. And the sound of the word.’ Even the title of the book, A Spaniard in the Works, is Lennon’s wordplay on the UK expression, ‘a spanner in the works.’ ‘A Spaniard in the Works’ was similar in style to the 1964 predecessor ‘In His Own Write,’ but, reflective of a maturing Lennon, was more ambitious in scope and had a particular bite to its subject matter. ‘A Spaniard in the Works gave me another personal boost,’ said Lennon, ‘The book is more complicated; there are some stories and bits in it that even I don’t understand, but once I’ve written something what’s the point of letting it hang around in a drawer when I know I can get it published? The plain unvarnished fact is that I like writing, and I’d go on writing even if there wasn’t any publisher daft enough to publish them.’ Starting Bid $500

The Beatles were very popular and I was caught up in the ‘Magic of the Beatles.’ They came to the Regal Cinema in Wakefield and that was where the record sleeve was signed. I did not realize for some time that Paul had not signed it, but John had signed it twice.” Starting Bid $300

He was Senior cabin steward on the flight taken by the Beatles when he obtained the autograph for me.” Starting Bid $300

‘Exchange of Rings’ between Lennon and Ono 9016. John Lennon Signed Lithograph. Limited edition 29.5 x 22.5 lithograph entitled ‘Exchange of Rings’ from Lennon’s infamous ‘Bag One’ portfolio, numbered 197/300, prominently signed in pencil, “John Lennon.” The oversized print depicts a touching moment between Lennon and Yoko Ono as a newly married couple. In fine condition, with a bit of very slight rippling. In 1969, as a wedding gift for Yoko, John drew the ‘Bag One Portfolio’—a chronicle of their wedding ceremony, honeymoon, and their plea for world peace in the Bed-In. The following year the artwork was produced in a series of three hundred portfolios of fifteen signed prints each. The majority depict John and Yoko’s most intimate, private moments—upon their first exhibition in London, more than half were deemed ‘indecent’ and confiscated by Scotland Yard. The non-erotic lithographs are scarcer than the erotics. The complete set of Bag One lithographs is on permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Starting Bid $300

The follow-up to Blood on the Tracks, Desire was one of Dylan’s most successful and popular records, reaching the top of the Billboard charts and attaining double platinum status on the strength of two controversial songs: ‘Joey,’ which is seen as glorifying the violent gangster ‘Crazy Joey’ Gallo, and ‘Hurricane,’ an impassioned account of the murder case against boxer Rubin Carter.

The consignor notes that the autograph was obtained when the recipient spotted Dylan in the audience at the Forest Hills Music Festival, which was held at the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Queens, New York from July 14–16, 1967. The Forest Hills Music Festival is perhaps best known as the event where Jimi Hendrix opened for the Monkees. Hoping to appeal to a more sophisticated musical palette, the Monkees asked Hendrix to be the opening act for their 1967 summer tour of the U.S. After joining the Monkees in Florida on July 8, Hendrix lasted only seven shows before abandoning the tour. Hendrix purportedly grew tired of the ‘We want the Monkees’ chant that greeted him every time he took the stage, and at the Forest Hills show on the 16th he flipped the bird at the less-than-enthusiastic crowd and stormed offstage, never to return.

In fine condition, with light edge toning, and some fading to Hendrix’s signature. Consignor notes that the signatures were obtained at England’s Brighton Dome on December 2, 1967, during the tail-end of their 16-date UK fall tour. Hendrix and the Experience headed back to Europe after a brief if not wildly successful series of stateside summer concerts that included their legendary appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967. Hendrix and company would cap off the year with further touring in both the UK and Scandinavia, riding high on the success of their two 1967 albums, Are You Experienced and Axis: Bold as Love. An ideal, uninscribed set of the full Experience lineup, a trio which is becoming increasingly more difficult to find.

Tensions had been growing between band members and management for several months, but these were put aside for these two concerts, which would be remembered as some of the band’s best and most successful late performances. Throwing out their usual set list, Hendrix and the band instead included several of his blues songs, including ‘Hear My Train a Comin’,’ ‘Red House,’ and ‘Bleeding Heart.’ These shows would be the final European performances by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and would go on to immortalize Jimi’s legacy.

Lower border features ticket and venue information, with bold text: “Purchase Tickets Early. No Tickets Will Be Sold At The Gate.” In fine condition, with dampstaining along the bottom edge. After the triumph of Woodstock the previous year, the three-day New York Pop Festival tried to re-create its success in New York City.

Rolling Stones The Stones make their Canadian debut 9074. Rolling Stones 1965 Montreal Concert Poster. Rare original color 27.5 x 22 poster for a concert by the Rolling Stones at the Maurice Richard Arena in Montreal, Canada, on April 23, 1965, which features a large image of the band posing with their instruments, with bold blue and red text above: “CKGM’s Club 980, Bob Gillies / Lord Timothy presents The Rolling Stones.” Blue information box to lower right reads: “Tickets on sale at the box office and CKGM.” The poster is affixed to a same-size cardstock mount. In very good condition, with trimmed top edge, light edge toning, and areas of white-out.
Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the son of the original owner, a disc jockey at Montreal’s CKGM radio station, in part: “[The poster] belonged to my father, Bob Gillies. In 1965 he was a Disc Jockey at CKGM in Montreal and hosted a Rock and Roll show. He co-produced the concert and his name appears on the poster. Legend has it he partied with the band after the show at a number of nightspots. This poster is one of only a handful created at the time that spelled his name correctly and I’m told was his prized possession.” A chapter from Ian Howarth’s 2017 book Rock ‘n’ Radio: When DJs and Rock Music Ruled the Airwaves, highlights Gillies’s history at CKGM and his time spent with the Stones following their Maurice Richard Arena show: ‘After the show, Gillies took a few of the Stones out to sample a taste of Montreal’s famous nightlife. With drummer Charlie Watts, bassist Bill Wyman and a few ‘arranged dates’ squeezed into the backseat of his car, Gillies suggested the Heidelberg, a German-style bar he frequented on Drummond Street. Wyman was apparently intrigued. This was not the usual post-concert decompression entertainment that Stones were used to. Nevertheless, Gillies, Watts, Wyman, and dates spent the rest of the night quaffing steins of German beer and listening to down-home oom-pah-pah classics. Wyman referenced that night at the Heidelberg in his 1997 autobiography, Stone Alone, where he pays tribute to Gillies’ esoteric taste in bars.’ The Stones’ debut tour of North America in late April 1965 included their first four concerts on Canadian soil. Supporting the recent release of their album, The Rolling Stones, Now!, the 22-show tour began with a sold-out performance at the Maurice Richard Arena in front of 5,000 screaming fans. In addition to playing originals ‘Off the Hook’ and ‘The Last Time,’ the Stones jammed a myriad of upbeat covers, such as ‘Time Is on My Side,’ ‘Little Red Rooster,’ and ‘Everybody Needs Somebody to Love.’ An elusive, sought-after piece of Canadian rock history.

It was billed Kinetic Circus and featured many big bands…I got there very early and bought a ticket at the door…and just wandered in. I had brought my Tommy album to get signed if I could. It was a big room with very few people about at that hour and no obvious event staff. I went upstairs heading to where I thought the band dressing rooms might be. I heard a guitar playing, knocked and went in and was surprised to see Pete Townshend warming up. I asked if he would sign my album and he said he was happy to do so. He was very approachable and generous with his time. I went back outside and decided to wait for the others. They all arrived one by one and all signed the album for me. I was most nervous with Keith Moon but he just laughed and seemed, well, normal. Their performance later was no disappointment. They were brilliant.” Starting Bid $1000

In addition to his work with Howlin’ Wolf, Sumlin collaborated with the likes of Muddy Waters, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Levon Helm, James Cotton, and Pinetop Perkins.

Boston: Sib Hashian Legendary drummer Sib Hashian made music history by joining Boston in 1975 to record their self-titled debut album, which became an overnight sensation—released by Epic in August 1976, Boston broke records to become the best-selling debut album in the US at the time. Hashian’s steady, energetic drumming anchored classic tracks like ‘Peace of Mind,’ ‘Foreplay/Long Time,’ and ‘More Than a Feeling,’ which Rolling Stone later praised as “a cathedral to young-adult male romantic yearning, with every second scientifically crafted for maximum impact—right down to Sib Hashian’s climactic drum fills in the final fade-out.” Hashian returned to the studio for the band’s second album, Don’t Look Back, released in 1978, again providing the consistent rhythms for hit songs like ‘Don’t Look Back,’ ‘A Man I’ll Never Be,’ and ‘Feelin’ Satisfied.’ With Boston, Hashian toured the country and the world, performing before sold-out crowds at legendary venues like NYC’s Madison Square Garden, London’s Rainbow Theatre at Finsbury Park, and Tokyo’s Budokan. Following his time with the group, Hashian played drums on Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau’s 1980 solo album, and occasionally gigged with Goudreau and fellow former bandmates Fran Sheehan and Brad Delp. He later recorded with Sammy Hagar as an unofficial member of The Waboritas, and alongside Goudreau in Ernie Boch, Jr.’s band Ernie and the Automatics. A civic-minded individual, Hashian served his country as a First Lieutenant in the Vietnam War, and remained involved with charities including My Brother’s Table and the Doug Flutie Foundation. The Sib Hashian Scholarship Fund will keep his legacy alive by funding music and arts programs in the public school systems.

“I go flying so high when I’m stoned”— Chapin finishes ‘Taxi’ in a working lyrical draft 9199. Harry Chapin Annotated Draft of Lyrics for ‘Taxi’. Hand-annotated typed working draft of the lyrics for ‘Taxi,’ one page, 7.5 x 9.25, with Chapin’s changes written in ballpoint and pencil throughout the manuscript, which begins: “It was raining hard in Frisco.” Chapin strikes through the typed second line (“I needed one more fare to make my night,” as sung on the record), writing a new line that ultimately went unused: “Sort of a nasty night.” However, many of the changes he makes throughout—adding “It took a while” before “but she glanced at the mirror,” changing “back in highschool” to “somewhere back in a fairytale,” and several other minor revisions—that do appear in the final song. Most significantly, he hand writes the final line—”I go flying so high when I’m stoned”—which appears to have been an initial afterthought, but is an impactful closer in the recording. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, and binder holes along the left edge. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Sandy Chapin, the widow of Harry Chapin. Known as Chapin’s early ‘signature’ song, ‘Taxi’ was the lead single from his 1972 debut album Heads & Tales. He debuted the tune on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, which prompted so many phone calls and telegrams that he returned for an encore performance the very next night—the first time in the show’s history that Carson brought back a musician on consecutive nights. As ‘Taxi’ helped to propel Chapin to fame, many materials from his career evoke the symbolism of a checkered cab, including the album covers for Heads & Tales and Sequel, his first and last records.

With his wiry frame, restless energy, and trademark shouts of ‘1-2-3-4,’ Dee Dee helped define the look and sound for countless generations of punk and hard rock musicians. Fender Precision basses personally–played and –owned by Dee Dee Ramone are extremely rare, with only three documented examples having ever been offered—an incredible, museum-quality keepsake used by a true punk pioneer.

Even tho the owner of the Atlantik is a friend we didn’t get the royal homecoming treatment.

Punk Rock Strummer’s Fender Strat used on Earthquake Weather, his first solo album
9256. The Clash: Joe Strummer’s Fender Squier Telecaster Guitar. Strummer’s personally-owned and -used black-
bodied Fender Squier Telecaster electric guitar. Made in Japan circa 1985-86, the guitar is serial numbered A001112 on the neck plate, and bears a Joe Strummer & the Latino Rockabilly War sticker affixed to the body, with remnants of two other stickers to the body and black pickguard. The guitar exhibits heavy overall wear from frequent use, and is known to have been used by Strummer during recording sessions for both the Grosse Pointe Blank soundtrack and on his solo album, Earthquake Weather, recorded during 1988-89. With The Clash having parted ways in the mid-1980s, this instrument dates to a particularly trying period in Strummer’s musical life. Having moved to Los Angeles to record and pursue a career in Hollywood, Strummer was tapped to compose the soundtrack for the 1997 black comedy Grosse Pointe Blank. He struggled and worked tirelessly with his band, as well as with close friend Gerry Harrington, to expose himself to other sounds as motivation. The album was ultimately well-received by critics, bridging nicely from Strummer’s time with the Clash and into his next project, the Mescaleros. Acquired directly from Harrington, this guitar represents the reemergence of Strummer after his time with The Clash. Starting Bid $1000

Prince The iconic Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, made famous by Prince on Purple Rain
9284. Prince’s Purple Rain Tour and Studio-Used Yamaha DX7 Synthesizer. Yamaha DX7 digital program-
mable algorithm synthesizer personally-owned and -used by Prince during the recording of the Purple Rain album and its subsequent 1984–1985 North American Tour, measuring 40 x 13 x 4, with upper panel featuring two strips of masking tape marked in various ink types by Prince as a means of distinguishing the featured set of 32 algorithms. Prince appears to have made codes for a total of 23 of the algorithms, which read as follows: “Struge / Lets Work / House Lp / Pony SMPLS / Bass Riff / The Shit Lp / Huh Lp / Dope Drum / Segway Lp / Tambo Lp / Yea Yea / Scream 1 / Bell / Kiss Lp / Another Lp1 / Another Lp2…Open Girl / Crowd / Girl Laugh 1 / 2 / 3 / 4.” The left side bears another strip marked “Primary,” and a strip to right side of back plate reads: “Fink Main.” Left side and backplate features strips of black tape, the upper left section features a swatch of black Velcro, and the back Yamaha parts label identifies the serial number as “79085.” The underside of synthesizer bears a tape strip marked “8/86, Rev. 1.8,” and the power cord labeled “DX-7.” In fine condition, with expected wear from use, which includes scuffs and adhesive remnants, and a missing knob to data entry control. Released in 1983, the Yamaha DX7 utilized FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesis and very-large-scale integration chips to create the first successful digital synthesizer and one of the bestselling synthesizers in history. Its keyboard spans five octaves, with sixteen-note polyphony, features 32 algorithms, each a different arrangement of its six sine wave operators, and the expression allows for velocity sensitivity and aftertouch. The DX7 was the first synthesizer with a liquid-crystal display and the first to allow users to name patches. Its preset sounds, routinely referred to as harsh, glassy, or metallic, offered a richer and brighter timbre that became a staple of 1980s pop music. Prince was an early adoptee of the DX7, and its funky and percussive tones can be heard prominently across Purple Rain, with his major hit single ‘When Doves Cry’ being an ideal example of its innovative sound. This amazing DX7, the hallmark of ‘The Minneapolis Sound,’ was the only one Prince owned and is covered in his handwriting—a magnificent museum-quality piece of equipment used on Purple Rain and other classic Prince records.

Other noteworthy pages include an incredible pencil sketch by Prince, showing a very unusual guitar–human mashup; a handwritten aphorism by Prince, “Words to fun by: ‘To tap or not to tap / That is the question / Whether ‘tis funkier on the three / than the one is to suffer the / slings and arrows of unsyncopated misfortune.’ Willyum Shakespere,” below, he writes out several of his pseudonyms: “Percy Bagonia,” “Dexter Cunningbowl,” “Alfred Horkelsby,” and “Seymou”; a page headed “Prince” with points on contracts (“If there are in fact two hit singles within the album, an additional $10,000 upon completion of the album will be paid,” and so on), signed at the bottom, “Thank you, Prince”; and a set list in pencil, most of the songs coming from his second studio album, released in 1979: “Let’s Rock, I Wanna Be Your Lover, Bambi, Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad, When We’re Dancing Close and Slow, With You, Still Waiting, It’s Gonna Be Lonely, Sexy Dancer, Darling Marie.” On the back cover, Prince signs his name in ballpoint, “Prince,” and also writes “Patrice” and “Last Waltz.” The notebook also includes several sketches in another hand in red ink, and a break-up note to Prince signed “Nadia” (“Sometimes goodbye does mean forever. I know all along our relationship has been soft & wet…but there have just been too many rumors”). In very good to fine condition, with expected handling wear, and dampstaining to the right edge of each page. Notebook originates from a girlfriend of Prince (who is different from Nadia, the girlfriend who left a breakup note to Prince in the notebook). Starting Bid $1000

The necklace measures 31˝ in length and features sections of black hair pipe beads, gold tone beads, a beautiful abalone disc to center, and black leather straps to ends. Includes a Dream Factory / Paisley Park digipak with CD and DVD containing live tracks and footage from ‘The Undertaker’ music video; the DVD clearly shows Prince wearing the offered necklace. In fine condition. Recorded live in a single take during a rehearsal session with Michael B. on drums and Sonny T. on bass, ‘The Undertaker’ album was intended to be released as a covermount CD included with a 1994 issue of Guitar World magazine. Warner Bros. caught wind of Prince’s plans and halted all production, with the manufactured copies coated with a plastic covering and rendered unplayable. The resulting footage from the rehearsal was given a vague storyline and turned into a home video that featured Prince’s then romantic interest, actress Vanessa Marcil, who also appeared in Prince music videos ‘Poorgoo’ and ‘The Most Beautiful Girl in the World.’ Lasting roughly 40 minutes, ‘The Undertaker’ rehearsal featured an introduction and seven songs, including a cover of ‘Honky Tonk-Woman’ by the Rolling Stones. A unique piece of Prince-worn jewelry in keeping with the artist’s influential and gender-fluid fashion sense. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from a former employee of Prince who obtained the necklace indirectly through Marcil. Starting Bid $1000

Prince’s hand-edited draft for the end of Graffiti Bridge, featuring nearly 150 words in his hand 9293. Prince’s Hand-Edited Graffiti Bridge Script. Original hand-edited partial draft script for
the 1990 film Graffiti Bridge, 58 pages, 8.5 x 11, no date December 2, 1987. This section of draft script edits, with approximately 24 pages dog-eared by Prince and forwarded to his assistant, contains about 145 words in Prince’s own hand, in addition to strikethroughs and scribbled out passages. Prince’s meticulous attention to detail is on full display: he adds stage directions, modifies dialogue, and makes various notes lending insight into the film’s characters. Among the more substantial notes by Prince are about Ruthie Washington (“Even in her tattered clothes her eyes dance. Even though she has no home, no money, she is proud”) and a conversation between Ruthie and Camille ( “She notices 2 scraggly hobos approaching the group— Gruff & Puff distraught and seeking forgiveness, watch the proceedings from nearby. Camille sees them. His tone changes”). In fine condition. From the collection of Prince’s former assistant and accompanied by a letter of provenance.
More images are available online at www.RRAuction.com
In mid-September of 1987, Prince finished his first script for a musical film project entitled Graffiti Bridge, which featured himself in the lead role as Camille, and costarred Madonna as his former flame, Ruthie Washington. In keeping with his vision of “a musical fantasy shot on theatrical sets,” Prince planned to cast several of his own band members in the film, with these notes mentioning several of their character names—Atlanta Bliss as Joshua, Eric Leeds as Sax, Cat Glover as Vienna, Greg Brooks as Gruff, and Wally Safford as Puff. In mid-October, a brief three-day script conference with Madonna proved disastrous, with the singer-actress publicly ridiculing the script and dismissing any potential collaboration. As a result, the original Graffiti Bridge script was abandoned and the project placed on hiatus until 1989. Graffiti Bridge continued to have script problems and underwent several revisions before a screenplay was finalized on February 7, 1990; the script alterations effectively made the film a quasi-sequel to Purple Rain. Although the film earned negative reviews and poor box-office totals, the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack was regarded highly and reached gold sales figures in both the UK and America.

Accompanied by a John Brennan Collection letter of provenance and a letter of authenticity from Floyd Authentic. John Brennan recalled of Pink Floyd: “The chase started in the 1980s, when I got Waters; then Gilmour on his solo tour; then more on the reunion tour (sans Water).” John noted, “Roger Waters lived in NYC on and off; he was very accessible. He was generally a friendly person anyway. My complete-signed Pink Floyd is a big deal because David Gilmour is the most rare signature, having been so reclusive and not really signing since the 90s (next rare would be the late Richard Wright).” In-band fights were always tough on the autograph seeker looking to complete band signatures. “One time when Gilmour and Waters were fighting, Waters ripped up an autograph that Gilmour had already signed for a buddy of mine.” Brennan noted wistfully, “It’s been almost my whole career getting Pink Floyd completed, because there was no real reunion with all of them. It was just hardcore collecting, one by one, in all different spots.” From The John Brennan In-person Autograph Collection. Starting Bid $1000

We’d be waiting outside.” In 1986, during the “Dirty Work” era; on 48th St., NYC, the Stones were recording in the studio and Mick Jagger came out. “We saw him frequently so he wasn’t uptight around us. He tried but couldn’t hail a cab, so we offered him a ride home in my white IROC Camaro. I drove; he sat in the front seat.” Brennan also revealed his diehard devotion, “I once waited outside Mick’s apartment for 18 hours in 1984.” The steadfast autograph seeker “met Keith at least 150 times,” and possesses dozens of candid pictures as mementos.

By bidding at the Auction, whether in person, through an agent or representative, by telephone, facsimile, online, absentee bid, or by any other form of bid or by any other means, Bidder acknowledges the thorough reading and understanding of all of these Conditions of Sale, all descriptions of items in the Catalog, and all matters incorporated herein by reference, and agrees to be fully bound thereby. Section 1 The Parties1.1 RR Auction and Auction This Auction is presented by RR Auction, a d/b/a/ of R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC, as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the Catalog or on the www.RRauction.com Internet site. The Auction is conducted under these Conditions of Sale. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog. 1.2 Bidder Bidder shall mean the original Bidder on the property offered for sale by RR Auction and not any subsequent owner or other person who may acquire or have acquired an interest therein. If Bidder is an agent, the agency must be disclosed in writing to RR Auction prior to the time of sale, otherwise the benefits of the warranty shall be limited to the agent and not transferable to the undisclosed principal. The rights granted to Bidder under these Conditions of Sale are personal and may not be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise without the express written assent of RR Auction. Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey these Conditions of Sale or any of the rights herein, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. No third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred on any Bidder by these Conditions of Sale, and no third party is intended as a beneficiary of these Conditions of Sale. Bids will not be accepted from minor persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent or legal guardian’s written consent containing an acknowledgment of the Conditions of Sale herein and indicating their agreement to be bound thereby on behalf of the Bidder. All Bidders must meet RR Auction’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of RR Auction may be disqualified at RR Auction’s sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by RR Auction in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. RR Auction reserves the right to exclude any person from the Auction. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid and agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale in addition to company for whom the Bidder is acting By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. 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 . Section 3 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. Buyer’s premium for our Sports Auctions is 20%. For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is 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 re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake. 4.3 All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing. RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder. 4.4 Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the 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 further 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 $2,500 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 at-
torney’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 $2,500 or under will have the option to pay by VISA, Mastercard, Discover or Paypal. All Paypal payments must be sent to FinanceDepartment@rrauction.com.
Section 7 Sales Tax RR Auction is a remote seller and we are now required to collect Sales/Use Tax from our bidders. The states that we have nexus in we will be required to collect and remit sales tax on your behalf. Each state has different requirements to meet nexus. When RR Auction has achieved a certain monetary and/or invoice threshold in each state we will apply sales tax to your total invoice. Please go to our terms on our website to see the states that are affected. If we have not achieved nexus in a particular state it is still your responsibility to pay sales tax on your purchases. The sales tax rate is determined by the State, Country, and City where purchases are shipped to. If you decide to pick up your purchases at our New Hampshire location you will not be required to pay sales tax. The State of New Hampshire does not have a general sales and use tax. All purchases picked up at our Massachusetts location will be taxed at the current rate of 6.25%. Pennsylvania sales or use tax may be due in connection with the purchase and delivery of tangible personal property to Pennsylvania individuals and businesses. The purchaser is required to file a use tax return if tax is due in connection with the purchase and delivery in the Commonwealth. This notice is required pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Reform Code of 1971. 72 P.S. ¤ 7213.2. If you have a resale number please email Sue@RRAuction.com or fax to (603) 732-4288 a copy of your state resale certificate and you will be exempt from paying sales tax. 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 sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any Bidder’s property in RR Auction’s possession or to which title has not yet passed to Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Section 13 Warranties 13.1 RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether 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). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the AC and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. Section 14 Firearms RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm. Section 15 Unauthorized Statements Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR Auction authorized by RR Auction to modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on a registration form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed 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 18 Headings Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret the substantive sections to which they refer. Section 19 Entire Agreement Except to the extent Bidder is also a consignor (in which case the terms of the consignment agreement shall also govern), these Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement between the Parties together with the terms and conditions contained in the auction Registration Form. They may not be amended, modified or superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties. No oral or written statement by anyone employed by RR Auction or acting as agent or representative of RR Auction may amend, modify, waive or supersede the terms herein unless such amendment, waiver or modification is contained in a writing signed by all parties. If any section of these Conditions of Sale or any term or provision of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, the remaining parts of the agreement and remainder of the sections or terms and provisions of the section and all sections shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way. Section 20 Governing Law and Enforcement 20.1 The Parties agree that all agreements between the Parties including but not limited to these Conditions of Sale are entered into in Boston, Massachusetts, no matter where Bidder is situated and no matter by what means or where Bidder was informed of the Auction and regardless of whether catalogs, materials, or other communications were received by Bidder in another location. 20.2 The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, any other related agreement(s), along with all claims between the Parties, including those arising out of or related to such are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles. The Parties agree that any dispute between the Parties, including but not limited to those related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale, or related to or arising out of any other related agreement(s) shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration (the ”Arbitration”) before a single Arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) The Parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the AAA in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the Consumer Arbitration Rules apply, in which case, such rules and venue will govern. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall also recover all of its related fees and costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, if RR Auction prevails, such recovery, in addition to all remedies available at agreement or law, shall include the Buyer’s

The arbitration and all related proceedings shall be held strictly confidential and all documents and discovery shall be held confidential and not used, published or disclosed publically or to anyone outside the Parties or expert consultants or counsel who shall agree to hold such confidential. 20.3 The Parties consent to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all claims between the Parties except as provided specifically herein and may seek confirmation of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in any Court of competent jurisdiction, including the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. To the extent such is necessary under the law, RR Auction may enforce the Arbitration award against Bidder and any related Party in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as RR Auction consenting to jurisdiction or venue in any location outside of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. THE PARTIES MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER AS A CLASS OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLAIMED CLASS, OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE ACTION UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED, THE CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OF THE OTHER CANNOT BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED WITH MORE THAN ONE ADDITIONAL PERSON OR ENTITIES’ CLAIMS. NO INJUNCTIVE OR DECLATORY RELIEF SOUGHT BY BIDDER IF ANY, CAN AFFECT OR BE ORDERED TO AFFECT ANY OTHER BIDDERS OR PERSONS. 20.4 Except as provided specifically in these Conditions of Sale in Bidder’s Remedies against RR Auction (along with its affiliates, directors, agents, officers, employees, and contractors) for any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other related agreement(s), brought by Bidder must be brought within the earlier of the Auction Date as it pertains to the item(s) at issue or no later than one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances occurred giving rise to the alleged claim, without exception. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute bar to and release of any claims by Bidder initiated after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-actions brought by Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale. 20.5 To the fullest extent under applicable law and except as specifically stated herein Bidder hereby holds harmless, releases and discharges RR Auction and its agents, officer’s directors, affiliates, successors, and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, damages, causes of action, suits, demands, losses, debts, and expenses of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected existing prior to these Conditions of Sale. Bidder agrees to the Conditions of Sale and upon each instance that Bidder participates in any auction, bids, or otherwise agrees to such terms and reaffirms this release as of the date of so participating or agreeing unless Bidder otherwise provides clear written notice to RR Auction prior to so bidding. 20.6 The Bidder hereby agrees that RR Auction shall be entitled to present these Conditions of Sale to a court in any jurisdiction other than set forth in this paragraph as conclusive evidence of the Parties agreement, and the Parties further agree that the court shall immediately dismiss any action filed in such jurisdiction. 20.7 Liquidated Damages for Specific Breaches In the event that Bidder provides false information in connection with registering for bidding, fails to correct or update information or breaches the Conditions of Sale by failing to pay the purchase price when due after becoming the winning bidder, as liquidated damages associated with such breaches, R&R may obtain from Bidder the greater of (1) 150% the reserve of the item (if any); (2) the amount bidder bid; or (3), the full amount that bidder would have otherwise paid. Bidder will also be liable for an additional 20% of such amount to account for additional administrative costs, shipping, additional advertising, and other damages and liabilities fees that are difficult to calculate on an item-by-item basis. 20.8 Indemnity. Bidder agrees to defend, indemnify, hold harmless RR Auction (along with its officers, directors, agents, contractors, and affiliates) from and against any and all claims, costs, fees, damages, and liabilities arising out of or related to these Conditions of Sale, view of items, or lots, bidding, or participation in any auction by RR Auction, and/or or in any way connected to any item you viewed, bid upon or purchased through RR Auction.
Section 21: State-by-State Law Issues This Auction is being conducted in and the sale shall take place in the State of Massachusetts. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, should these terms and conditions violate the law of any State should that state’s law be found to govern, or any provision herein determined to be invalid, the clause itself and the remainder of the Agreement shall be valid to the fullest extent allowed. Also, to the extent other states law apply to any transaction arising out of the Agreement (without admitting such), RR Auction states: For Residents of California: SALE OF AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLES: AS REQUIRED BY LAW, A DEALER WHO SELLS TO A CONSUMER ANY COLLECTIBLE DESCRIBED AS BEING AUTOGRAPHED MUST PROVIDE A WRITTEN EXPRESS WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF SALE. 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.
