Robert S. Eaton Sr. 1940–2001

Superb fully signed 1961 Marrion portrait from the original Fab Four’s first professional shoot

3001. Beatles Signed Photograph. Vintage glossy 8.5 x 6.5 group photo taken by Albert Marrion in December 1961 during the Beatles’ first professional photo session, depicting the band in their leather outfits and holding their instruments, signed and inscribed on the reverse in red ballpoint, “To Meron, Love from John Lennon xx,” “Love to Meron from George Harrison xxxx,” “To Meron love from Paul McCartney xxx,” and “Lots of love to Meron from Pete Best xxx.” The reverse also bears Marrion’s photography stamp. In very good to fine condition, with light creasing, more noticeable on the image side, and surface impressions to the image from the signatures on the back. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/ DNA and a certificate of authenticity from Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, who states that the signatures date to early 1962.

Albert Marrion, a local wedding photographer, was brought on by influential Beatles manager Brian Epstein to capture a professional shot of the future international sensations. Though he snapped about 30 photos at his Wallesy studio in December 1961, records indicate that only 17 still exist, with the here-offered example being one of the most appealing. The photographer later recalled, ‘John and Paul joked and laughed throughout most of the session. George Harrison was quiet and Pete Best didn’t speak almost at all.’ Marrion remembered it was actually Lennon and McCartney’s ‘acting up’ that spoiled many of the discarded negatives. An uncommonly early photograph with a great image that’s matched by its cast of bold red autographs. Starting Bid $1000

Magnificent fully signed ‘Star Pics’ photograph of the Beatles in 1963

Fantastic vintage glossy 7.75 x 10 promo photo of the Beatles published by ‘Star Pics’ in 1963, boldly signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. The classic image features John with his acoustic-electric guitar, Paul with his iconic Hofner violin bass, and George with his beloved Gretsch—their early ‘tools of the trade.’ In very good to fine condition, with some minor soiling, and a short tear to the top edge; the signatures are bright, clean, and bold.

Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, in part: “John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have all added ‘XXX’ after signing. The signatures are stunning in person, as they are large and lay out wonderfully on the back of the photo - which is 4 times the area of an average autograph album page, resulting in larger than average signatures that ‘have plenty of room to breathe.’ The autographs date from mid-1963, and this is an extraordinary Beatles signed photograph that would present beautifully if framed for display.” A large and superb image of the Beatles, boasting four equally large and superb autographs. Starting Bid $1000

3002. Beatles Signed Photograph: ‘Star Pics’ (1963).

Airline booklet signed by the Beatles after their historic Parisian debut

3003. Beatles Signed BEA

In-Flight

Booklet (February

1964). Vintage British European Airlines (BEA) in-flight booklet, 9 x 6.5, signed on the front cover by the Beatles in black ballpoint: John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr. The consignor notes that the signatures date to early February 1964, and were likely signed on February 5th, when the band was returning to London via a BEA flight after their historic three-day concert showcase in Paris, France. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks, a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, who also dates the autographs to “early 1964,” and two modern glossy photos of the Beatles disembarking the airplane at London Airport.

The Beatles’ concerts in Paris in January 1964 were a significant milestone in the band’s career, as they marked their first performances in France and helped to launch them to international stardom. The Beatles played a total of 18 shows over three days at the Olympia Theater in Paris, from January 16th to 18th, 1964. The band’s arrival in Paris was met with a frenzy of excitement from French fans, who crowded the airport to greet them and followed them everywhere they went. The Beatles’ concerts at the Olympia were sold out, and the crowds outside the theater were so large that the police had to be called in to control them. During their shows, The Beatles performed many of their early hits, including ‘She Loves You,’ ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand,’ and ‘Twist and Shout.’ Starting Bid $1000

Remarkable 1963 color Beatles centerfold signed backstage at the Gaumont Cinema

Rare color 20.25 x 13.5 souvenir centerfold from the British magazine Today featuring the Beatles with their instruments, signed in fountain pen by John Lennon, and in ballpoint by Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Affixed to a lightweight cardstock sheet and in very good condition, with heavy overall creasing, stains to the corners, and poor contrast to parts of Paul’s and George’s signatures. Fully signed, uninscribed color images of the Beatles in this large size are extremely scarce.

Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a detailed letter of provenance from the original recipient, who met the Beatles backstage at the Gaumont Cinema in Doncaster on December 10, 1963, where her friends performed a song for the band and presented them with a gift of locally made butterscotch candies. Additionally includes a vintage glossy press photograph of the girls with Paul McCartney and George Harrison backstage at the show and an original newspaper article detailing the event. Starting Bid $1000

The Fab Four down under—crisp ballpoint signatures of the Beatles

with fill-in drummer Jimmie Nicol

3005. Beatles Signatures (with Jimmie Nicol, 1964).

Vintage circa June 1964 ballpoint autographs of the Beatles— ”John Lennon,” “George Harrison,” “Paul McCartney,” and “Best wishes, Jimmie Nicol”—on an off-white notebook page. In fine condition, with staple holes to the top edge.

Accompanied by an uncommon glossy 10 x 8 photo of the Beatles with compere Bob Moors and TV anchorman Brian Taylor during the band’s Australian mini-tour, and by a letter of provenance from their personal assistant, for whom the autographs were obtained. The Beatles stormed Australia early into their first world tour, playing eight shows in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney between June 12 and 20, 1964, a span made notable by the presence of drummer Jimmie Nicol, who replaced Ringo Starr from June 3-15 while the latter was recovering from tonsillitis and pharyngitis. A decidedly very rare item given that Nicol was with the Beatles for less than two weeks. Starting Bid $1000

The Beatles sign in their prime

3008. Beatles Signatures (1967). Very desirable ballpoint signatures of the Beatles—“John Lennon,” “George Harrison,” “Paul McCartney,” and “R. Starkey”—on an off-white 5.5 x 2 sheet clipped from the close of a document. The consignor notes that the signatures date to mid-1967. In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds, a stain to the middle, and fading to Harrison’s signature. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. An attractive set of stacked Beatles autographs that date to the creative prime of their collective careers; Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, an album many consider to be their magnum opus, was released on May 26, 1967. Starting Bid $1000

Extremely rare ‘first state’ stereo version of the Beatles’ infamous butcher cover

3006. Beatles ‘First State’ Stereo Butcher Album. Ultra rare promotional The Beatles Yesterday and Today stereo ‘first state’ butcher cover (Capitol ST-2553, 1966). This ‘first state’ version features the notorious ‘butcher’ cover in which the Beatles are seen in butcher smocks draped with meat and plastic doll parts; ‘first state’ signifies that this is an original example that never had the ‘trunk cover’ pasteover applied. The record is included. Condition: EX 7.5 (sleeve - light yellow toning on the back-left cover)/ MT 9 (disc).

Within days of releasing this miscellany of previous hits, Capitol recalled all copies in response to retailers’ negative reactions to the original macabre cover image. The recalled copies were ‘retrofitted’ with a new pictorial flat, pasted over the first, featuring an innocuous image of the boys posed around a steamer trunk; these have frequently been peeled away by collectors to reveal the infamous butcher image below. First-state versions, especially of the rarer stereo variety, are among the most desirable and elusive of all Beatles collectibles. Starting Bid $1000

3010. John

and Ringo Starr (2)

(1967).

3009. John Lennon Handwritten Poem from ‘A Spaniard in the Works’. Supremely rare circa 1965 handwritten poem by John Lennon entitled “The Faulty Bagnose,” one page, 10 x 7, published in his second book of nonsense poetry and prose, A Spaniard in the Works. This is the complete and original manuscript as published by Jonathan Cape on June 24, 1965, on pages 34-37, beginning: “Softly softly, treads the Mungle, / Thinner thorn behaviour street. / Whorg canteell whorth hee asbin? / Cam we so all complete, / With all our faulty bagnose?” Lennon has made only one correction to the original manuscript, which comprises 35 lines in seven numbered five-line stanzas. In very good to fine condition, with creasing to the corners, and toning to the right edge.

‘A Spaniard in the Works’ was similar in style to its 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.’ Lennon confirmed there are very few alterations to the text in his manuscripts. In an interview with Wilfred De’Ath for the BBC radio programme, World of Books on June 16, 1965, he admitted, ‘I hardly ever alter anything because I’m selfish about what I write or bigheaded about it. Once I’ve written it, I like it… I might add things when I go over it before it’s published, but I seldom take anything out…’—apparently a similar way of working to the recording studio ‘…rather like a daily newspaperman: write it, see it released very quickly, then move on.’

The manuscript comes from the collection of Tom Maschler and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks Ltd. Like Beatles lyrics, handwritten published manuscripts in Lennon’s hand, are supremely rare and highly sought by collectors. This is an incredibly important artifact showcasing Lennon’s critically-acclaimed literary talents, composed at the height of Beatlemania. Starting Bid $2500

After the show, the Beatles set up tables at the front of the stage and held an impromptu signing session for attendees of the concert. In very good condition, with overall creasing, light folds, and moderately heavy handling wear. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. Starting Bid $200

George Harrison’s 1966 Christmas gift to friend and mentor Ravi Shankar— a two-volume set of the I Ching

3000. Beatles: George Harrison (2) Signed Books to Ravi Shankar. Signed books: The I Ching or Book of Changes, Vol. I and II. Later printings. London: Routledge & Kegan Paul Ltd, 1965. Hardcovers with dust jackets, 6 x 9, totaling 771 pages. Signed and inscribed in black felt tip inside each volume in black felt tip to his friend and mentor, the sitar virtuoso Ravi Shanker: in the first volume Harrison writes, “To Raviji—with much love and thanks—George Harrison, 25.12.66”; in the second, he writes, “To Raviji—love from George Harrison, 25.12.66.” Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: VG/G, with wear, sunning, and paper loss only to the dust jackets, including several repaired tears and a missing rear flap from the jacket for Volume II.

Harrison first met Shankar in London in 1966, and soon after traveled to India to study sitar with the famous Indian musician. It was the beginning of a long friendship and artistic collaboration, which inspired some of the Beatles’ most iconic songs, brought Indian classical music to a much wider international audience, and influenced the trajectory of pop music writ large. The experience encouraged Harrison’s interest not only in Indian music, but in Eastern philosophy more generally—explaining perhaps the choice of this translation of the Chinese philosophical classic, the I Ching, with a preface by the famous psychoanalyst C. G. Jung, who would appear on the cover of the Beatles’ album ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ in the following year. Starting Bid $1000

Exceedingly rare poster for Bob Dylan’s first show in San Francisco, November 27, 1964

This show took place at a critical time in Dylan’s career: in July, he’d been a headliner at the Newport Folk Festival, and on August 8 he released his fourth album, Another Side of Bob Dylan. On August 28, he famously met The Beatles at

New York’s Delmonico Hotel, turning them on to marijuana for the first time. On September 8, he began his fall tour, and on September 20th he attended The Beatles concert at New York’s Paramount Theater, spending time with them afterward. On October 31, Dylan played New York’s Philharmonic Hall, bringing on Joan Baez as a special guest (the ‘Halloween Concert’ was later released as Vol. 6 in Dylan’s Bootleg Series). Baez again joined Dylan on stage during his November 25 San Jose show, and two days later at the concert this poster advertises. The tour ended on December 7 in Santa Barbara, and after taking the rest of the month off, he entered the studio on January 13, 1965 to begin recording his next album, Bringing It All Back Home.

ROLLING STONES

Original hand-retouched album artwork for the Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet

3067. Rolling Stones Original Hand-Retouched Oversized Gatefold Album Cover Art for Beggars

Banquet. Remarkable oversized glossy 23.25 x 19.5 handretouched silver gelatin photograph reproduced on the inside gatefold of the Rolling Stones’ classic 1968 album ‘Beggar’s Banquet,’ taken by photographer Michael Joseph and toned and hand-colored by the album’s art director, Tom Wilkes. Includes an example of the Beggars Banquet album (London Records stereo pressing), which features a cropped version of this image as its gatefold artwork. The outstanding, oversized photograph is a different aspect ratio than the gatefold, with an image area that is about 50% larger than the published image—unseen elements of the mise en scène, such as a statue, artwork, candlesticks over the fireplace, the rear doorway’s arch, and a clock are all seen in the background over the larger version. Mounted on Crescent illustration board and in fine condition.

Michael Joseph recalls the 1968 photo shoot at London’s Sarum Chase mansion: ‘The Stones arrived punctually. They were impressed with my lighting setup, and this fantastic, beautiful

room. I was already there, talking through a megaphone to the goats, dogs and all the other animals we had for the shoot, getting them to understand what it was all about. I was good with animals and they behaved very nicely. Most of the feast on the table was prop food, but luckily, I’d put down a bowl of real cherries, and the goat was munching away on those. There were some cats knocking around the set, too, and they didn’t seem to be put off by 20,000 joules of light flashing away.

We only had two hours for the whole session, so literally within 10 minutes, the band were all changed. They just put on whatever costume they fancied and we didn’t bother with makeup—it wasn’t necessary. I put Keith Richards in the centre of the photo because he was the best-looking and the youngest. Bill Wyman, not so good-looking, so we put him further back. On the right, Brian Jones was very happy playing with a labrador. Charlie Watts was chatting up the stuffed monkey that’s on the table. Mick was happy to be centre-stage, standing on the table, cuddling some of the animals. There were other shots from this session where he’s holding a baby eagle, but then he got bored with that.’’ Starting Bid $5000

3072.

Rolling Stones Signed Candid Photograph

Archive of (48). Amazing collection of 48 signed original vintage candid photographs of the various members of the Rolling Stones, assembled in the mid-1960s by Marilyn Hill—an amateur photographer and massive Rolling Stones fan who occasionally helped out with the band’s fan club. Her tenacity as a celebrity street photographer—and her dedication as an autograph hound—is evident within this remarkable archive. She seems to have had a special affinity for Mick Jagger—or he for her—as the Stones charismatic frontman tops the collection with a remarkable 40 autographs.

Includes:

Mick Jagger: 19 smaller signed candids (ranging in size from 3 x 3 to 4 x 5); three smaller signed press photos (5.5 x 4.25); three signed scrapbook pages with affixed candids; a 7.25 x 6 photo of Jagger with a young lady, indistinguishably signed on the front and boldly signed on the back; and 13 larger signed candids (all about 8 x 10). These include images of Jagger performing on stage, walking down the street, reading an industry magazine, signing autographs for fans, and a variety of close-up portraits.

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards: one 5.5 x 4.25 glossy press photo of the pair on stage, signed by both in ink.

Bill Wyman: four smaller candid photos (all about 5 x 3.5), each signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint. Two show him with

young ladies, and the other two show him in dark sunglasses.

Keith Richards: an 8 x 10 candid photo of the guitarist in cool sunglasses, neatly signed in the lower border in blue ballpoint; and three small candids featuring close-ups of the lead guitarist (ranging in size from 3.5 x 3.25 to 5 x 3.5), with one signed on the front and two signed on the reverse.

The archive additionally includes more than 40 unsigned candid photos—predominantly of Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman, and Keith Richards, but also including a few of Brian Jones and Charlie Watts (whose autographs are not represented here)—as well as three contact sheet prints from the original negatives. The unsigned photographs are similar in content to the signed examples, with various candid portraits, street scenes, and close-ups. Further includes two later guest passes from their 1981 tour, a decal from their 1981 Candlestick Park show, an embroidered ‘tongue and lips’ logo patch, and a handwritten fan poem about the band.

In overall very good to fine condition, with light contrast to some signatures and various minor creases and tape stains. These incredible photographs capture all sides of the Rolling Stones—at work, at play, and at rest. From the cool Mick Jagger crooning into a microphone to a shirtless Keith Richards striking a goofball pose, these unseen images offer a remarkable glimpse into the Rolling Stones as they came of age and rose to fame.

Rare color 16.5 x 21.75 poster for shows by The Doors at at Boston’s short-lived Crosstown Bus on August 10 and 11, 1967. When the Doors were booked to play the Crosstown Bus, they were a little-known but promising act out of Los Angeles; by the time they played the shows, ‘Light My Fire’ had just become a number one hit (first topping the charts on July 29th), and they were well on their way to superstardom.

clear tape stains on the edges. The consignor notes that this was acquired from a former Crosstown Bus employee, who acquired it before the Doors shows. The final poster for this show was printed in three colors: black, green, and red. This previously undocumented variant was printed in black and green on white poster stock, but it is not simply a two-color version, as the green on this version was printed using a darker ink than on the three-color version—he further notes that he has never seen another like it.

Rare copy of Jim Morrison’s unpublished script for “Saint Nicholas”— one of three known examples

3097. Jim Morrison Unpublished Film Script for ‘Saint Nicholas’ (One of Three Known). One of only three known copies of the unpublished script for “Saint Nicholas,” a collaboration between Jim Morrison (here credited as “James Douglas Morrison,” the name he used for his privately printed poetry books) and poet Michael McClure, based on McClure’s then-unpublished novel The Adept. The 74-page script, prepared by Kwik Script Service of Los Angeles, is Xeroxed on standard 8.5 x 11 paper. It originates from the collection of longtime Doors associate and manager Danny Sugerman, and is accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by his widow, Fawn Hall. In fine condition, with some light creasing and soiling to the cover page.

Additionally accompanied by a detailed letter of authenticity from Recordmecca’s Jeff Gold, detailing the script and its history. In small part: “In June 1969, Morrison and legendary Beat poet Michael McClure collaborated on a film script

based on McClure’s unpublished novel, ‘The Adept.’ Using an advance on the script, they rented office space at the 9000 Sunset Building on the Sunset Strip, where they collaborated on the screenplay. Until now, only two copies of this legendary ‘lost’ script have surfaced: one in the collection of the Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and one from a film producer’s estate…This film script is from the collection of longtime Doors associate and manager Danny Sugerman (1954–2005).”

In a November 1969 interview with Howard Smith, Morrison commented on writing for film: ‘If I do anything in films it will probably be this script called Saint Nicholas that Michael McClure and I wrote based on his novel The Adept which hasn’t been published yet. It’s a contemporary story about a couple of dope dealers that go to the desert to make a score and if I, if I do anything that’ll probably be the first project.’ Starting Bid $1000

GRATEFUL DEAD

is the first letter I’ve written in years”— exceedingly rare twice-signed handwritten letter by Jerry Garcia, featuring a sketch of the Grateful Dead at Berkeley’s Greek Theatre

3098.

Signed with Sketch of Grateful Dead at Greek Theatre. Extremely rare twopart ALS signed twice, “Jerry.” First part is on two pages both sides, 5.25 x 8.5, no date but circa late May-early June 1982, and second part is on one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, Hotel Parker Meridien, New York letterhead, no date but postmarked June 22, 1982. Written to a woman he met at a NYC party in 1980, in part: “The Grateful Dead just played our first outdoor show of the year at a place called the Greek Theatre (a nice amphitheatre in back of The University of Calif. in Berekley [sic] kind of like this).”

Here, Garcia draws a very detailed sketch showing all elements of their performance at the Greek Theatre: the columns lining the back of the stage; the band on stage, which he labels “us”; and the audience, labeled “them.” He continues, writing: “A really nice site, we played for three days and the weather was really delicious although the last day (Sunday) was the beginning of a short hot spell and was a trifle uncomfortable but it was nice to play outdoors. I’m going to be playing in and around New York in June (while you’re in London naturally) and I’m sorry I’ll be missing you again: write me more, if you like that is, and thank you again for the card.” He also adds a brief postscript, indirectly attesting to the extreme rarity of this item: “P.S., Pardon my handwriting, this is the first letter I’ve written in years.”

The ALS continues on in a second part, written later on Hotel Parker Meridien, New York letterhead, postmarked June 22, 1982. In part: “Now, weeks later I’m in N.Y.C. Received your 2nd postcard (gasp) and I’m just getting (that is) around to mailing my first letter. Partly, it’s a sort of mail fright, like stage fright and partly editorial misgivings (Let’s see, is it legible? Spelled correctly? Am I constructing these sentences properly? God I hope she doesn’t think I’m an idiot for running off at the pen like this)...Latest news from England is of course the Royal birth...I’m on the road again. This time with my own band & also doing some more of those two piece shows (me and John Kahn) (bass)...am starting to adjust to and become aware of the musical possibillitys [sic] of that acoustical format. It’s exciting tho still scary.” In overall fine condition, with a few small stains to earlier portion of letter. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Garcia’s own hand. Also accompanied by full letters of authenticity from REAL and PSA/DNA.

Garcia admittedly had uncharacteristic “stage fright” with this method of correspondence as he repeatedly revealed, waiting so long he added a second part. When he finally mailed this letter from NYC, he was prepping for his June 25th acoustic solo act with John Kahn at The Palladium. The legendary front man mentions a little bit of everything including the June 21, 1982 birth of Prince William, “Latest news from England is of course the Royal birth.” The rarity of this handwritten letter cannot be overstated—research indicates no others ever being on the market—and even Garcia himself notes, “this is the first letter I’ve written in years.” The unique sketch he draws of the Grateful Dead’s historic home-base venue, the Greek Theater, is particularly poignant as it relates to their Bay Area roots.

3119. Billie Holiday Autograph Letter Signed to Cheating Husband. ALS in pencil, signed “Lady Day,” one page, 8.5 x 11, no date but circa 1958–1959. Handwritten letter, evidently to her third and last husband, Louis McKay, described variously as a ‘wannabe gangster’ and ‘mob enforcer’ who acted as her manager. Holiday writes, in full: “Louie I am writing this on the back of my priests letter. You know Father O’Connor, Boston. I did a very silly thing I trailed you. You really must go for that I got to say Bitch don’t get me wrong I am not angry just feel sort of cheap and dirty I am also sure you don’t really mean to hurt me other wise I would have made a awful stink fink. No one would have got hurt but me here. We are still friends I hope. God bless you I hope she doesn’t break your heart.”

On the reverse is Father Norman O’Connor’s letter to Holiday, signed “Father O’C,” in full: “Billie—Excuse paper—just got a copy of your recording on Columbia with Ellis—Wonderful— thoroughly enjoy it—wanted you to know: thus this paper. How are you? Anything I can do? Let me know.” In fine condition.

O’Connor’s mention of her “recording on Columbia with Ellis” refers to Lady in Satin, an album made with bandleader and arranger Ray Ellis and released in June 1958. This was the last album released in Holiday’s lifetime, and the reference allows us to date the letter to between June 1958 and her death a year later. Holiday married Louie McKay on March 28, 1957; he was abusive to her, and they were estranged when she died on July 17, 1959. In spite of his many misdeeds, Holiday remained affectionate towards him—betrayed, she expresses her complicated feelings in this letter, hoping to still be friends.

The serendipitous presence of the Rev. Norman O’Connor’s autograph enhances this historic piece even further. Nicknamed the ‘Jazz Priest,’ he helped to popularize jazz in the 1950s, writing a weekly column for the Boston Globe and publishing freelance work in Down Beat, Metronome, and other music magazines. He served as a board member and emcee for the first Newport Jazz Festival in 1954, and hosted jazz-related shows on TV and radio for many years. Starting Bid $500

A week before tragedy, Ritchie Valens signs a 7-inch record of his biggest hit singles, ‘Donna / La Bamba’

“This record signed by Ritchie Valens was obtained in person during the 1959 Winter Dance Party Tour in Mankato, Minnesota. The Kato Ballroom show was attended by the original owner Barbara (last name unknown) on January 25, 1959… [who] described her recollections [of the concert] as this: She attended the concert with two friends and was there to see Buddy Holly. They snuck in records they had of the artists with hopes to get them signed. She said it took quite a while to get to the front of the stage because it was a packed dance floor…

Later on during the show, the performers would be off stage talking with fans, in which she was able to briefly meet Ritchie Valens and get his signature on this record.” Anything signed by Valens remains quite rare and collectible, with 7-inch single records of his two biggest songs, signed roughly a week before his tragic death, existing in a rarified space all their own.

3161. Woody Guthrie Autograph Letter

Signed on Folk Songs and Radio Play. Amazing twice-signed ALS, three pages on two lightly-lined sheets, 8 x 11, no date. Letter to “Radio Station KGIL, Howard Gray, George Wilhelm and Others & All,” signed at the conclusion and on the first page in the return address, “Woody Guthrie, c/o Cyrus Adler, 360 So. Bedford Drive, Beverly Hills, California.” In small part: “I just can’t help writing to you folks to try to tell you what good and what a well needed job you’re doing in the fields and pastures of our folklore, folkways, folksay, folkballads, folksongs, folk singers, folk dancers, and to all present and future students and scholars in all of these and similar pursuits of human good.

I well remember the many drops of honest sweat which your present planner and executive, Mr. Howard Gray shed…to help to tell this whole westerly coastline, ships at sea, mountain peoples, desert goldbugs, and working boys and working girls, and the playboys rich and poor, a few little words about me, my guitar, and my home made songs and ballads…The words which Mr. Wilhelm uses and finds so easy on the tip of his tongue to tell you a little about the hard travels of every folk song, ballad, air, and tune, his way of making talk and

chatter was the best I’ve heard anywhere…Most discyspinner men tell you only a scant little about the words, tune, performers, of a songnumber. Even a smaller fewer number tell you a word about where this song was born, where it went, how it changed a bit from country to country, hill to hill, state to state, and some few proverbial folksayings to tell you a word at least about the kinds of hard labours the people in each spot do for all of us.”

In very good to fine condition, with toning, tears, and paper loss to edges; writing area, especially signatures, remains mostly unaffected. KGIL began in 1947 as a big band radio station broadcasting in the San Fernando Valley, with disc jockey George Wilhelm hosting a nightly folk show from 10 to 11. This came during the early days of the American ‘folk revival,’ and Guthrie was clearly enormously appreciative of the station’s efforts to introduce folk music to a wider audience. Rife with Guthrie’s poetic vernacular and commentary on the folk scene of the period, this is a truly amazing letter with content of the highest caliber. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $200

After playing his “gittbox” on the radio, Guthrie thanks the station for “a few little words about me, my guitar, and my home made songs and ballads”

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from noted Guthrie collector Barry Ollman, in part: “This is a great, early example of Woody inscribing a very uncommon record to a local record shop. The Union reference and his classic sign off, ‘Take it easy—but take it,’ make it even better. Fellow Almanac Singer Pete Seeger signed it as well, using his short lived alias, Pete Bowers, making this quite unusual. Pete didn’t want to embarrass his father politically, as the elder Seeger was then working for the federal government.” Starting Bid $300

Other major acts included the Grateful Dead, the Byrds, Simon and Garfunkel, the Mamas and the Papas, and Buffalo Springfield.

Joel’s personally-owned grand piano from the height of his career— as seen in his 1978 BBC concert

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

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

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

asked one of the security guards if I could have the poster. He said yes so I took it from the back of the tent. Later, I was standing near the end of the table, a few feet from Ronnie Van Zant and he looked at me and motioned me to come over and he signed the poster. I got all the other band members to sign it also...The band played in Lakeland Florida the next day, then one more show in Greenville South Carolina, then the plane crash.”

The signing at the Altamonte Springs Mall took place on the Street Survivors release day, October 17, 1977, just three days before Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ill-fated flight bound for Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The resulting crash took the lives of Ronnie Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, and pilots Walter McCreary and William Gray.

TOM PETTY

The Encino Tom Petty Clothing Archive

Tom Petty’s first wife, Jane Benyo Petty, as part of the couple’s 1996 divorce settlement, acquired their longtime home (4626 Encino Ave, Encino, California) and its contents. Benyo later lost the home to foreclosure to JPMorgan Chase in 2015. The bank then took possession of the property and prepared the home for re-sale. In the removal of the contents prior to the sale by the bank, contractors were ordered to dispose of the contents. Among the items discarded were a collection of many hats, jackets, vests, boots, and t-shirts, some marked “T. P.” on the tags. In February 2023, our consignor purchased these items that the bank discarded. Several of the items have been photo matched, including Tom Petty’s famous black and white striped jacket, several t-shirts, a Greenpeace sweatshirt, and a black cap seen in photos and worn during an appearance on Molly Meldrum’s Australian TV show.

Tom Petty counted The Byrds, and frontman Roger McGuinn in particular, as important musical influences.

I was kidding, but the vocal style sounded just like me and then there was the Rickenbacker guitar, which I used. The vocal inflections were just like mine. I was told that a guy from Florida named Tom Petty wrote and sings the song, and I said that I had to meet him.’ The two became friends and covered each other’s songs: Petty covered The Byrds’ ‘I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better’ on the 1989 album Full Moon Fever, and often played ‘So You Want to Be a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star’ in live shows. McGuinn, for his part, released his own version of ‘American Girl’ in 1977. From the Encino Tom Petty Clothing Archive. Starting Bid $200

Petty considered it price-gouging and even threatened to not turn the album over to MCA. Even after winning the battle with the label, Petty considered calling the album $8.98, but instead chose album artwork that shows him in a record store in front bins of albums priced at… $8.98.

Tom

the Heartbreakers,

Have you ever had one moment in time that completely changed your life forever? Well, I did. It was in the school library listening room, where a friend of mine took me and said, “Andy you have to hear this,” and popped a cassette into one of the school’s recorders. The song “Blitzkrieg Bop” by the Ramones began playing, and it was as if the heavens opened up and an angel sang to me. I totally connected with the band through their songs, sense of humor, and all-around cool style! Every time they were in my town I made sure I was the first to get tickets and was always slammed up in front of the stage watching what could only be called a perfect storm of punk rock music containing the energy of an Atom Bomb. Outcast aggression and a psycho-sense of humor all wrapped up in a perfect package. To me they were and still are the greatest band on the planet!

After school, I was living in Washington D.C. making a living by screen-printing t-shirts for just about every band in the area. I was a one-man band with a cre ative attitude that thrived in the then-small hardcore punk scene. One day, I met this girl who was as big a Ramones fan as I was. She was friends with Johnny and Joey, and asked me if I wanted to meet the band as they were playing at a local venue in D.C. I immediately took her up on the offer, and I even made Freaks t-shirts for each member of the band!

When the time came to stroll backstage, needless to say I was as nervous as I had ever been. Once in the dressing room I sheepishly gave them all one of the t-shirts I had made. When Dee Dee got his Freaks tshirt he exclaimed, “Wow, this is the coolest shirt I have ever owned!” The entire band was extremely kind to me. As I said my goodbyes, I walked down the narrow backstage hallway to make sure I got a place at the front of the crowd when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and it was none other than guitarist Johnny Ramone. He thanked me for the t-shirt, asked me questions about my t-shirt company, and about my collecting hobby. We clicked immediately, and started a friendship that would last two decades.

BY ANDY GORE

The next time the band was in my town he wanted to come over to my place. My studio was an unfinished basement filled with all my designs and works in progress, and I even slept right next to a small screen-printing press. Johnny commented on my commitment to my craft and loved all my other t-shirts I had made. From then on, I was Johnny’s personal t-shirt designer. He wore my designs until their final show in 1996 when he wore my infamous “Don’t Fuck With Chuck” Manson tee. I was more than honored that he chose to end his career wearing one of my devery shirt is now displayed at the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” archivers in Cleveland, Ohio.

Johnny and I had a special bond like no other. We spoke on the phone often and always tried to help each other out in the never-ending search for new additions to our collections. I would find pieces for Johnny’s collection (freakshow memorabilia, baseball-related things, true crime oddities, etc), while Johnny would send me packages of rare Ramones posters and one-ofa-kind treasures! I got a phone call from Johnny one day and he asked me if I wanted his old license plates from his 1958 Ford Fairlane car since he was moving out to California. I said “Hell yes Johnny, I would love your old car license plates just sign them and send them to me,” I said to him, “Johnny, never throw anything away just sign it and send it to me no matter how obscure the item is!” Over the years my Ramones collection grew into an enormous, eccentric, one-of-a-kind punk rock exhibition! I kept everything in its original mailing envelopes and boxes – all of which had Johnnys’ hand-written addresses on them. He was even a good sport about writing up letters of authenticity to compliment rare pieces!

Custom-made leather jacket worn on stage by Joey Ramone during the band’s 1994 European Tour

personally-owned and stage-worn black

in silver ink, “Joey

signed

which was specially custom-made for Ramone by a fan, no size, features snap-down lapels, shoulder epaulets, zippered sleeve cuffs and side pockets, an attached belt with a rectangle buckle, and a small coin flap pocket. Ramone wore this very jacket on stage during the band’s European Tour in early 1994; he can be seen wearing the jacket in online photos taken by Gie Knaeps, when the Ramones performed at the Luna Theater in Brussels, Belgium, June 12, 1994, as well as during a publicity photo shoot around the same time. Soon thereafter, Ramone and the jacket were caught in a rainstorm that damaged the jacket’s leather and forced Ramone to retire this jacket in favor of a substitute. In very good to fine condition, with referenced rain damage, including rusting to snap-down buttons, three of which have been excised from the leather.

Gore obtained this jacket from Joey Ramone following an online business conversation in 2000 when the former inquired if Ramone had any extra stage-worn leather jackets he was looking to sell. Ramone explained that he didn’t keep the majority of his leather stage jackets due to their constantly being exposed to the elements, noting that ‘they seemed to eventually turn into armor.’ Being sentimental, especially as it related to fan-made gifts, Ramone admitted that he had kept one particular fan-made stage jacket, describing it as having ‘soft and smooth cool leather with a unique style to it.’ The offered jacket was placed in the Ramones’ wardrobe case and then later stored in Joey Ramone’s closet in New York City until he sold it to Gore, ostensibly making this one of the last stage-worn leather jacket owned by Ramone before his untimely death in 2001.

Iconic Ramones leather jacket, stage-worn by Dee Dee and CJ Ramone from circa 1983 until the band’s retirement in 1996

3397. Dee Dee Ramone and CJ Ramone Stage-Worn Leather Jacket. Historic black leather Schott (418-453474SM) motorcycle jacket personally-owned and stage-worn by both Dee Dee Ramone and CJ Ramone, bass players for the legendary punk band the Ramones, who have signed the left and right lapels in silver ink, “Dee Dee Ramone” and “CJ Ramone.” Dee Dee obtained this jacket not long after the band’s gear was stolen after a show at the Reseda Country Club on April 24, 1983. The jacket traveled the world with Dee Dee, who wore it exclusively during Ramones concerts until his final show in July 1989. It was then placed in the band’s wardrobe touring case and soon thereafter was issued to new bassist CJ Ramone, who wore this jacket at his first Ramones live performance and then during numerous tours until the band’s retirement in 1996. The jacket, size 40, features snap-down lapels, shoulder epaulets with U.S. Army captain rank pins, zippered sleeve cuffs and side pockets, an attached belt with a rectangle buckle, and a small coin flap pocket. The right lapel features a U.S. Air Force cap insignia, which was placed on the jacket by CJ Ramone. In very good to fine condition, with a partially stiff quality to the leather, likely due to rain or water, holes and wear to the wrist, cuff, and collar areas, and light rusting to the metal accessories; small holes to the lapels and epaulets due to alternating pins and insignias. This jacket can be seen in numerous official Ramones music videos and press photographs from the era, as well as on the front and back covers of the band’s Animal Boy LP, and on the front covers of Halfway to Sanity and Mondo Bizzaro.

Another notable ‘flaw’ is the cut inner liner of the left wrist section, which was widened by CJ prior to the band’s set at the Bizarre Festival in West Germany on June 23, 1990. CJ cut the liner in order to fit his fretting hand, which was set in a medical cast. According to CJ: ‘The only time I ever called in sick was when I got into a motorcycle wreck and busted my wrist and got a concussion. I was busted up. But I still went. We had a festival booked. I went to that festival and played with a busted wrist. I got a shot in my armpit to numb out the nerves in my arm, and I got out on that stage and played. I’m not saying, ‘Wow, what a hero I am,’ but that’s how seriously I took my job.’

Accompanied by the original FedEx shipping box, which includes the original mailing label sent by CJ Ramone (Christopher Ward) to the consignor, artist Andy [Armstrong] Gore, and by a detailed letter of provenance from Gore, who affirms that he obtained this jacket directly from CJ Ramone when the band retired. ‘When the Ramones were touring for the final time I just asked CJ outright if he would sell me this

leather jacket and, to my surprise, he gave it to me after the band retired. I would have paid any price for the privilege to possess this item, but CJ just asked me to screen-print some t-shirts for his side band ‘Los Gusanos,’ which he formed in 1992. That was all he wanted.’

Torn jeans. Boating shoes. Shaggy hair. Leather jackets. The simple yet unmistakable style of punk rock heroes The Ramones remains just as iconic and distinctive as their instantly recognizable brand of carefree punk rock. While their fashion and music were minimalistic, the band members, in particular founder Dee Dee Ramone, were anything but. Dee Dee was a complex figure, the quintessential punk rock bassist, whose aggressive playing style and ability to create catchy, high-energy basslines were signature elements of the Ramones’ sound. And as clothing is wont to do, this leather jacket took on the identity of its wearer. It absorbed Dee Dee’s zeal and rebelliousness during its six years on top, trotting the world to countless stages far and near to the tuneful shout of ‘1-2-3-4!’ Then Dee Dee left, and the jacket was passed, like keys to a Mustang, from one driver to the next. CJ adopted the jacket as his own, embracing the band’s history and continuing a tradition. And in doing so, the tale of the Ramones ‘bass jacket’ was created, the jacket that prevailed, the one that got away. The ultimate punk rock museum piece, worn all over the world, and the oldest surviving stage-worn Ramones leather jacket known to exist, too tough to die after almost 800 shows.

3398. The Ramones: Arturo Vega Hand-Painted Stage

Backdrop from Adios Amigos Tour. Massive and historic oversized hand-painted stage backdrop used at the massive stadium shows during the Ramones’ 1995–1996 Adios Amigos Tour, measuring approximately 36´ x 10.5´, featuring a simple brick design painted in white on heavyweight black canvas, with “Adios Amigos” lettered in bright red. Johnny Ramone has prominently signed within the first letter, “Johnny Ramone, Last Tour Backdrop.” In overall very good condition, with overall wear and cracking to paint.

Accompanied by a ticket for their March 16, 1996 show at at Estadio River Plate, Buenos Aires, Argentina, as well as the banner’s flattened original shipping box with Johnny Ramone’s return address (using his legal name, “J. Cummings”) penned in the upper left. Johnny Ramone sent the historic backdrop to his friend and renowned Ramones collector, artist Andy Gore.

Gore remarks: ‘This is the largest piece of Ramones memorabilia in the entire world to ever be auctioned! A surprise stage reveal at the encores of the Ramones’ final farewell tour! The banner was designed and painted by the famous artist and the Ramones’ art director Arturo Vega in 1995 for use as the band’s final stage back-drop when they played at huge arenas, mostly in Europe and South America.

The banner itself measures about 36 feet long and is made of very thick black cloth canvas, complete with the sewn on canvas support rings used to hang the banner behind the band as they played to sold out arenas. The design itself is quite simple: a massive painted brick wall with the words ‘ADIOS AMIGOS’ painted across the upper half of the banner. When the black canvas banner was originally painted it only consisted of white paint for all the graphic brick images and wording but this was soon changed by Arturo himself. After he saw the backdrop hung for the first time behind the band as they played their encore songs at a sell out stadium show he thought that the use of white paint for the graphic lettering wasn’t to his liking, too plain. So after the massive back-drop was taken down Arturo took it upon himself to add bright red paint over the words “ADIOS AMIGOS” to make the lettering more prominent, making it stand out from the rest of the brick painted background! No wonder Arturo Vega was the band’s art director—he took his job as seriously as the actual band members did! The way this banner was used was quite unique. The road crew would hang in behind the band’s usual stadium backdrop that had the Ramones icon eagle logo on it. It was a surprise reveal and a personal goodbye to their fans from the Ramones on their farewell tour. This historic banner is the last thing all the Ramones fans across the world viewed at the end of the band’s final farewell shows!’ From the personal punk rock archives of Andrew D Gore.

I snuck the package of toxic Model-Glue past the security guards who were stationed right outside of the Ramones dressing room to protect the band and make sure weirdo fans like myself (who had a VIP All Access Pass) weren’t sneaking in any contraband of sort could hinder the bands’ performance that evening! Luckily Johnny saw me walking up to the backstage area and whisked me right into the dressing room thus avoiding any security searches that could have partaken! As we settled down in the dressing room I whipped out my package of Model Glue and had the whole band sign it for me. They got a big laugh that I went to all the trouble to get this item autographed and found it amusing that I would even think of such a strange thing for them to sign! This was signed backstage in 1992 and has been a great addition to my eclectic Ramones collection!’ From the personal punk rock archives of Andrew D Gore. Starting Bid $200

According to Andy Gore, these promotional sunglasses were officially produced by the Ramones to be sold at their merch booths in the 1990s. Fans were not convinced and the sunglasses sold poorly at the band’s shows. Johnny Ramone, however, loved them. He purchased the remaining sunglasses and gave them away to his friends and fans before the sunglasses were finally discontinued.

The condoms were the brainchild of drummer Marky Ramone and were produced after the band had broken up. In honor of National Condom Week in 2008, Marky Ramone unveiled a signature series of safer sex kits as a means to reach sexually active youth and adults in a cool, hip way. Each kit contains two Lifestyles’ condoms, lubricant, and an STD resource card.

It looked good, and it didn’t look like any other bands out there. We weren’t interested in wearing groovy hats or groovy clothing.

THE RAMONES

Impressive gold-and-silver painting of punk icon Johnny Ramone

by Giovanni DeCunto

3691. Johnny Ramone Painting by Giovanni DeCunto. Acrylic with gold and silver leaf on canvas, 42˝ x 62˝. An iconic legend to the music world and beyond, Johnny Ramone, ‘the king of the downstroke guitar,’ paved the way for inspiration across many aspects of life, including those of the art world. Giovanni DeCunto was inspired by the musician’s brilliant talent and aptitude. This piece was created to commemorate one of Johnny Ramone’s favorite live performances, and to draw attention to the iconic member of the Ramones that helped pioneer the punk movement. DeCunto depicts the musician playing his universally recognizable guitar, creating sounds that so many fans have listened to in awe and admiration over the years.

In the artist’s portrait, the guitarist is crafted with a gold and platinum background, symbolic of his superior legacy. Johnny’s bold, black and white guitar serves as a reflection of him as a musician; dark colors standing out in a pool of vivid colors, as though the guitarist is a gem in an empty cave. Giovanni carefully chose his colors by means of significance; Johnny’s guitar was a staple of his career, giving him the opportunity to express deep meaning in a way no one else ever could with words, therefore this bright, snowy piece of the painting is prominent and forces the eye to narrow in on it. Starting Bid $2500

Johnny’s Ramone’s rehearsal guitar, a Mosrite Ventures II played at the Daily Planet Studio

3434.

Johnny Ramone’s personally-owned and rehearsalused 1966 Mosrite Ventures II electric guitar with a bright blue German-carved basswood body, signed and inscribed on the white pickguard in black felt tip, “To Jay, Enjoy, Best always, Johnny Ramone.” Ramone obtained this guitar in a trade with his friend, Chris Lamy of GG Allin and the Jabbers, when the former desired to have a backup Ventures II at the Daily Planet rehearsal studio; the victim of past gear heists in 1977 and 1983, Ramone was rightfully anxious about the safekeeping of his guitars. When Lamy gave the guitar to Ramone, he requested that the latter refrain from making any updates unless his current backup guitar was misplaced or stolen. Ramone agreed and offered Lamy first rights to buy back the guitar were he to purchase another backup, which he eventually did, a few years later. True to his word, Ramone offered the guitar back to Lamy. However, when Lamy conveyed that he was no longer interested, the guitar was ultimately sold to a fan, hence the inscription. The guitar is accompanied by two Ramones guitar picks and two candid Polaroid photos of Ramone at the time of the signing. According to Lamy, he believes that he traded this Ventures II to Ramone in either 1987 or 1988 and that Ramone likely sold this guitar circa 1990, when legendary luthier Semie Moseley began building and sending new Mosrites to Ramone. Given the time period, Lamy believes that Ramone used this guitar for rehearsals

during the band’s Brain Drain era.

Even though Ramone used this guitar exclusively during rehearsals, his aggressive playing style makes the serial number difficult to read; the end of the guitar’s rosewood fretboard has a barely visible serial number, “B546,” which Lamy confirms was the serial number of the guitar that he traded to Ramone. The guitar is in 100% original condition and includes the nonroller bridge, vibrato assembly, knobs, pickguard, switch tip, pots, wiring, frets, strap buttons, and tuning machines. The original blue finish over the guitar’s basswood body shows some checking, which is normal for a well-played 57-yearold guitar. The instrument has two regular-sized and -wound Mosrite pickups, but without the exposed pole pieces of other Mosrite models. The black pickup covers are embossed with “Mosrite of California.” These model guitars look small but are actually full-scale and heavier and sturdier than the slab-bodied Ventures II. This fourth and last variation of the Ventures II model was quickly dropped in 1966 and replaced with the ‘Mark V’ designation. There were approximately 400 Ventures II ‘German carves’ made from December 1965 through February 1966 before being discontinued. In fine to very good condition, with referenced wear to body paint; the instrument has been tested and all electronics are working.

iconic stage-used banner from the Ramones’ 1977 tour

3437. Ramones 1977 Stage-Used “Gabba Gabba Hey” Banner. Historic stage-used oversized “Gabba Gabba Hey” canvas banner from 1977, handmade by Ramones artistic director Arturo Vega, measuring approximately 52˝ x 34˝, featuring the Ramones’ famous ‘Pinhead’ catchphrase in large hand-painted black block letters against a white background. Stencil and tape marks surrounding the letters are evident upon close inspection. The banner is mounted on wooden rollers sewn into the top and bottom, with a mounting wire at the top. In very good to fine condition, with general wear from age and use, including a small hole towards the bottom.

This iconic “Gabba Gabba Hey” sign is seen in numerous concert photos from the era, including those taken at gigs in London and New York.

It was recently displayed as part of the “Hey! Ho! Let’s Go: Ramones and the Birth of Punk” exhibit, held at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles from September 16, 2016–February 28, 2017.

Accompanied by a provenance statement from Dickson: ‘This iconic and legendary piece of rock/punk history from 1977 has been owned by me since it was given to me by Ramones muse, creative director and lighting designer, the late Arturo Vega at the end of our tour that year. Shortly after I went to work as Eric Clapton’s guitar tech for 30 plus years, but never forgot those incredible days with The Ramones. They were a force of nature and an amazing live act!! And a great bunch of guys to work with. The banner has been with me for some 45 years now, hanging on my wall in England for about 31 of those years before accompanying me in my move to the USA. It has found a new hanging spot in my studio for the past 14 years. The only time it has ever left my home was circa 2016/2017, when I was proud to loan it to the Grammy Museum in LA for their wonderful Ramones exhibit, where it was on display for a few months. Now, very sadly, we have to part, and this incredible and unbelievably rare piece of music history will adorn someone else’s wall.

PRINCE

3532. Prince 1976 Warner Bros. Demo Tape (Resulted in His First Contract). Prince’s 1976 demo tape in its original custom-made box, submitted to Warner Bros. Records vice president Russ Thyret, which resulted in his signing to the label. This reel-to-reel tape set in motion the career of an unknown musician from Minneapolis who became one of the greatest musicians of his generation.

The demo, recorded on 1/4˝ reel-to-reel tape, features unreleased versions of three Prince originals: “Just As Long as We’re Together” and “My Love is Forever,” both of which Prince re-recorded for this debut album, and the never-released “Jelly Jam.” Prince was only 18 years old when he recorded these songs at Minneapolis’s Sound 80 Studios, writing, arranging, singing and playing all of the instruments himself. Includes a custom-made plexiglass display case, business card of Russ Thyret, and CD transfer of the demo tape’s audio. Also accompanied by a letter of provenance from Recordmecca’s Jeff Gold, who worked closely with Prince and Thyret during his time as a Warner Bros. executive, affirming that he acquired this from Thyret’s estate.

In Purple Reign, author Mick Wall recalls Husney made ‘15 promo kits with tapes…of which half went out, one at a time, to every major record label in America. Two weeks later Husney had received not one response’. Husney told Vice ‘I called Warner Brothers—I’d done some work for them in my ad agency before—so I called Russ Thyret [the label’s head of promotion] and said, “I’m gonna make up that favor to you, listen, Columbia Records is flying us out. Would you

like to hear this young genius I have? Would you like to hear him while I’m out here on Columbia’s dime?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, absolutely!’ So now I had an appointment at Warner Brothers to play and then I called Columbia, and I said, ‘Hey, Warner Brothers is flying us out and while we’re here on their dime, would you like to hear the demo of this young genius from Minneapolis?’ Then I called A&M Records, and I said, ‘Listen, I’m out here making presentations to Columbia and to Warners, would you like to hear this?’ But I always knew that I was gonna go to Warners. They were just the top artist-friendly label of that era. The other labels seemed cold. So, I lied my way into appointments at all of the labels.’

It wasn’t until they met with Russ Thyret at Warner’s, though, that finally things clicked into place for Prince…‘There was a real bonding there,’ Husney recalled. He told Variety ‘After Prince and I met Russ and hung out with him, there was no doubt where we’d wind up…Russ was a man of great instinct and heart. When other labels were taking us to fabulous restaurants to get us to sign, Russ drove us to his house, where we’d sit on the floor, listen to music and he’d explain the business to us. He gave of himself 1000% and that meant the world from two neophytes from Minneapolis.’

Warner’s chairman Mo Ostin had instructed his team to go all in, offering this talented newcomer a deal worth a million dollars, albeit spread over several years, during which Prince would be expected to deliver seven albums. Ecstatic, Prince signed to Warner Bros. on 25 June 1977, less than three weeks after his nineteenth birthday. Starting Bid $5000

The Black Album—a tremendously rare still-sealed example

3533. Prince The Black Album (Incredibly Rare First Pressing, Still Sealed). Incredibly rare original 1987 U.S. first pressing of The Black Album (Warner Bros. 1-25677) factory sealed in its original shrinkwrap, complete with affixed peach-and-black sticker on the front, “Explicit Lyrics, Parental Advisory, (1-25677),” and barcode/copyright information sticker on the back. This is one of five sealed copies of The Black Album recently discovered in the collection of former Warner Bros. Records executive Richard Wietsma. Prior to that discovery, only three copies of the original 1987 U.S. pressing had surfaced. The discovery of these albums became an international news story, covered by Rolling Stone, Spin, Vibe, and news outlets around the world. In mint condition.

The Black Album, also known as The Funk Bible, was originally intended to be released on December 8, 1987, with an entirely black sleeve and no printed title or song credits. A week before its release date, Prince had the album withdrawn after having a spiritual experience that convinced him the album was ‘evil.’ Warner Bros. worked extremely hard to destroy all of the 500,000 copies that had been pressed—very few

survived, making extant examples among the rarest records in the world. The Black Album was later released as a limited edition CD and cassette by Warner Bros. in 1994, and then digitally via Tidal in 2016—however, no U.S. vinyl version of the album was ever commercially released.

Includes detailed letters of authenticity from Richard Wietsma and Jeff Gold, the owner of Recordmecca and a former executive vice president/general manager of Warner Bros. Records, who worked closely with Prince during the 1990s, and art directed numerous album covers for him, including ‘Diamonds & Pearls,’ ’Love Symbol,’ and ‘The Hits/The BSides.’ He writes, in part: “This example is one of five sealed copies discovered in December 2017, in the collection of a former Warner Bros. Records executive who worked on The Black Album.” Starting Bid $1000

3539. Prince ‘The Black Album’ Acetate Pressing. Rarest-of-the-rare 12˝ double-sided acetate pressing of Prince’s legendary “The Black Album.” The Black Album, also known as “The Funk Bible,” was intended for release in late 1987. A week before its scheduled release, Prince had the album withdrawn and asked Warner Bros. to destroy all promotional and commercial copies on vinyl and CD, making surviving copies among the rarest records in the world. To our knowledge, this is the only promotional acetate copy of “The Black Album” still in existence, making it of utmost historical and collectable significance. It appears in un-played condition, with Warner Bros. white labels with typed titles and original white cardboard sleeve with “D.F.” written on it in purple pen, indicating “dead file.” It has been cherished and carefully preserved for 30+ years by an early Minneapolis-based collector.

On this 12˝ acetate pressing of Prince’s “The Black Album,” a red and blue wax pen was used on the lacquer by the Warner Bros. technician to indicate “cue marks” and write temporary manufacture numbers on the label and sleeve, which is typical for acetates. The typed white labels state “For Promotional Use” along with Prince’s name and “Warner Brothers.” The track listing is identical to the planned commercial release, other than a slight spelling change for one of the song titles. A blue wax pen was used to write “NO” on the labels on both sides, and a red pen was used to write “for dead file” on Side A. A yellow wax pen is used on Side B to say “too long,” a notation apparently added by a technician.

An article published in a Minneapolis newspaper (Twin Cities Reader, May 1988) mentions acetate pressings for “The Black Album” and describes its cancelled commercial release. The article, included here, further describes the album as “funky, nasty, dirty, funny…different from anything Prince had ever done.” Among Prince’s most collectable items, this 12˝ acetate pressing of his withdrawn “The Black Album” is the rarest Prince record we have ever offered. Starting Bid $2500

12˝ test pressing of Prince’s mega-hit single, “When Doves Cry”

3541. Prince ‘When Doves Cry’ Test Pressing. Ultra-rare one-sided U.K. vinyl test pressing of Prince’s 12˝ single “When Doves Cry” (WEA/UK, SAM 201A). Recorded at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, “When Doves Cry” was the debut single on Prince’s iconic album “Purple Rain.” It was released worldwide several weeks prior to the album in June 1984 and quickly became Prince’s first #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100. Prince played all the instruments and provided all vocals on “When Doves Cry,” a song with no bass line (an extraordinarily innovative and bold move at the time). The song’s popularity is widely credited as the foundation for the success of the “Purple Rain” film and album. In fact, “When Doves Cry” ranks #37 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The test pressing features a plain white label with handwritten “Prince, When Doves Cry,” and a sleeve that has “West Germany” printed on it. The vinyl appears to be in un-played condition. Test pressings are manufactured in very limited quantities (often fewer than 25 copies) for the purpose of listening to materials being considered for commercial release or for evaluating the quality of a finished product. They are usually the first discs made from production stampers and sound better than commercially available vinyl. Often the song content of a test pressing mirrors that of a commercial vinyl release, which appears to be the case here. Starting Bid $200

The “Partyman” single, released on August 18, 1989, and recorded at Paisley Park studio, peaked at #5 on the US R&B/Hip-Hop charts. Three versions of “Partyman” (and one “B-Side” song) are included on the 12” test pressing: “The Purple Party Mix,” “Partyman Music Mix,” “Partyman (The Video Mix),” and “Feel U Up (Short Stroke).” The test pressing features a white label with titles, catalogue numbers, and white outer and inner sleeves, which is typical of a test pressing. The vinyl appears to be in un-played condition. Prince’s song “Partyman” was prominently featured in the Tim Burton “Batman” film. The Joker (played by Jack Nicholson) and his minions dance to the song in one scene in the movie as they deface exhibits in the Gotham City Art Museum. The mixes on this test pressing includes samples from the film’s dialogue. The other song included on this test pressing, “Feel U Up,” was originally included on Prince’s unreleased album “Camille,” originally recorded in 1981 and rerecorded for the “Camille” album in 1986, and then released here.

Rusan Original electric guitar, hand-crafted by the luthier that built Prince’s original ‘Cloud’

3543.

Original electric guitar, hand-crafted by Minnesota luthier Dave Rusan, who built Prince’s original, iconic ‘Cloud’ guitar for the Purple Rain movie. Hand-carved by Rusan in his Bloomington, MN shop, the Rusan Original is built to exactly the same specifications as Prince’s original ‘Cloud’ guitar. The back of the headstock is signed in gold ink by Rusan, “David Rusan #32.” The guitar is brand new, never used, and housed in a custom-made bubblegum pink flight case by Encore Cases. Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity from Rusan Guitarworks, and an image of Dave Rusan holding the guitar.

Luthier Dave Rusan was working at Knut-Koupée Music, a store owned by local guitarist Jeff Hill, when he was asked to create the iconic Cloud guitar in 1983. Prince, a regular

customer at the South Minneapolis shop, was talking with Hill at the counter when Rusan arrived for work. Prince and Hill moved to the back office, and after some time, the latter returned with exciting news for Rusan: ‘Prince is going to make a movie. He needs a guitar, and you’re going to make it.’

The requested Purple Rain guitar was to feature a design inspired by the bass owned by Prince’s childhood friend and former bass player, André Cymone. Other than the body style, Rusan was told that the guitar ‘had to be white, and it had to have gold hardware.’ In the end, Rusan made four Cloud-style guitars for Prince in the mid 1980s, the last of which was for a contest giveaway sponsored by Warner Bros. in 1985. Since that time, Rusan has continued the tradition with his line of Rusan Originals—meticulously crafted instruments modeled after Prince’s iconic Purple Rain guitar. Starting Bid $500

Text at the top reads “Prince, For You” and along the bottom “On Warner Bros. Records and Tapes.” This poster was mailed (factory folded, 12” x 12”) in advance to select record stores that were scheduled for personal appearances by a then-unknown Prince in promotion of his first album. This copy of the poster was received (but never displayed) by a record store in St. Paul, Minnesota. The colors remain vibrant, its corners pristine and free of any pin holes or tape residue. This rare item has been carefully preserved for the past 40+ years by an early Minneapolis-based collector. Starting Bid $200

It measures 23.5” x 15” and is rolled and in fine condition with very minor wear on the top right edge. It is unfolded and shows no sign of prior use. This is an absolutely hilarious and rare promotional item, very difficult to find in this condition. Starting Bid $200

Rare 1981 poster for Prince’s first show at Sam’s on 7th Street—later known as First Avenue

3564. Prince 1981 Sam’s/First Avenue Concert Poster. Extremely scarce original 8.5 x 11 poster for Prince’s concert at “Sam’s: A Danceteria” in his hometown Minneapolis on March 9, 1981. This was Prince’s first ever live show at the iconic nightclub that was renamed ‘First Avenue & 7th St Entry’ later that same year on New Year’s Eve. First Avenue was featured in Prince’s film ‘Purple Rain.’ Bob Dylan attended this show and requested to meet Prince afterwards; however, Prince reportedly declined.

This particular show was the opening date of the second leg of Prince’s Dirty Mind tour. Paid $2500 plus a percentage of the gate (tickets cost only $6.50), Prince played a 95-minute set, including the first live performance of the unreleased ‘Everybody Dance’ as an encore. This gorgeous ‘Dirty-Mind era black-and-ivory (off-white) poster depicts Prince shirtless with a bandana around his neck. It has three tiny corner pin holes, but is otherwise in fine condition. Early Prince concert posters like this one are extraordinarily scarce—and one that marks Prince’s first performance at the iconic nightclub that later became First Avenue is a true collection’s dream. The poster has been cherished and carefully preserved for 30+ years by an early Minneapolis-based collector. Starting Bid $200

Conditions of Sale

ANYONE EITHER REGISTERING TO BID OR PLACING A BID (“BIDDER”) ACCEPTS THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND ENTERS INTO A LEGALLY, BINDING, ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENT WITH R&R AUCTION COMPANY OF MASSACHUSETTS, LLC (“RR AUCTION”) TOGETHER WITH BIDDER, THE “PARTIES”).

This Agreement contains important provisions that control rights and liabilities, and specifically has provisions governing how disputes are handled as well as LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY that can be imposed upon RR Auction, WAIVER OF JURY and ARBITRATION PROVISIONS.

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

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 .

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 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. The states that are affected are: ARIZONA, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, KANSAS, KENTUCKY, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEBRASKA, NEVADA, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, NORTH CAROLINA, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, PENNSYLVANIA,RHODE ISLAND, TENNESSEE, TEXAS, UTAH, VIRGINIA, WASHINGTON, WISCONSIN

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%.

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 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). 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.

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 Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. Federal arbitration law, including the Federal Arbitration Act apply to this agreement to arbitrate and its related provisions. 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:

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.
