MUSICIAN WRITER CRITIC
TONY GLOVER
Minneapolis’s resident ‘Rock and Roll Renaissance Man,’ Tony ‘Little Sun’ Glover (1939–2019) honed his talents as a musician, writer, and critic in the Twin Cities. A renowned harmonica player, he formed one third of Koerner, Ray & Glover, an influential blues trio during the early 1960s folk/blues revival that included ‘Spider’ John Koerner and Dave ‘Snaker’ Ray. Glover befriended Bob Dylan in the Minneapolis coffeehouse scene where they would on occasion share the same stage. It was in the Dinkytown district that Glover made some of the earliest recordings of Dylan, at intimate ‘venues’ like Bonnie Beecher’s apartment. He was one of the few hometown friends that Dylan stayed in touch with after going to NYC, and Dylan dedicated his prose-poem contribution to the 1963 Newport Folk Festival program to Glover, calling him a ‘best friend in the highest form.’ Glover has shared the stage with Jim Morrison and the Doors, the Allman Brothers at Carnegie Hall, Patti Smith, Lucinda Williams and the Replacements, among others. Glover has been inducted into the Minnesota Blues Society Hall of Fame multiple times, and Koerner, Ray & Glover has been recognized with a star outside of the First Avenue nightclub in Minneapolis—a prestigious local honor. Bob Dylan wrote of Glover in his 2004 memoir Chronicles, Volume One: ‘I couldn’t play like Glover or anything and I didn’t try to. I played mostly like Woody Guthrie and that was about it. Glover’s playing was well known and talked about around town, but nobody commented on mine.’
KOERNER, RAY & GLOVER
GLOVER WITH HENDRIX In addition to his work as a musician, Tony Glover was an experienced music journalist and critic who contributed to the ‘Little Sandy Review’ folk zine; crafted reviews and conducted interviews for Rolling Stone, Circus, Creem, and other media outlets; co-authored the only biography of the great blues musician Little Walter; created several influential blues harp songbooks; and wrote liner notes for various projects, including An Anthology by Duane Allman and the two-disc live album The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Bob Dylan Live 1966, The ‘Royal Albert Hall’ Concert. For the Dylan liner notes, Glover was honored with the prestigious Deems Taylor Award, which is comparable to the Pulitzer Prize for Music Writing. Glover’s wide-ranging talents and interests led him to connect with countless famous musicians and artists, often being pulled into their orbit—sometimes as an observer, other times as a participant. Glover was also a prolific collector, retaining an impressive variety of ephemera and artifacts from the realms in which he worked. His collection includes correspondence with Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Donovan, and Pete Seeger; transcripts of an unpublished 1971 interview with Dylan, hand-edited by Dylan himself; early Dylan posters and programs; original photography; audio tape recordings of interviews with Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Robbie Robertson, and the Allman Brothers; an eclectic personal vinyl collection of over 2,400 records; and much more. His collection spans the beginning and substance of many of our most treasured icons’ careers.

Includes two audio cassette tapes, marked “Dylan - Phone, 1/19/71 / 2/25/71 + 9/28/71” and “Dylan - Phone - 9-28-71 (Ctd.) / 10-571,” plus four original typed transcripts of their conversations between January 1971 and October 1971. These discussions outline the genesis of Glover’s unpublished interview of Dylan, originally done for Esquire. The two discuss the reasons that Dylan stopped giving interviews, potential topics of discussion (“Well, like one question which people would expect to be asked in any interview would be—What do you think about Lennon not believing in Zimmerman?”), and the necessity for creative control over the entire project. In later conversations, the talk turns to religion, Kurt Vonnegut, current projects (“I did some new stuff in the studio…gonna be on the 2nd Greatest Hits album”), Anthony Scaduto’s biography of Dylan, the Concert for Bangladesh organized by George Harrison, a Neil Young concert, bootleg records, and more. In overall fine condition.

Autobiographical manuscripts hand-annotated by Bob Dylan in ‘71
In early 1971, Tony Glover pitched the idea of an exclusive interview to his old friend Bob Dylan, hoping to publish it in Esquire. Initially reluctant, Dylan came around on the idea so long as he was granted full creative control—as evidenced in the large number of interview transcripts that have been extensively hand-corrected by Dylan himself. The process was a long and laborious one—over three different days, Glover and Dylan spoke in his Greenwich Village studio/office, with Glover recording the chat on his portable cassette deck. Though clearly an interview—Glover came prepared with questions, some given to him by the editors at Esquire—it is also a candid conversation between friends and colleagues, catching up after some time apart. Their relationship set Dylan at ease, knowing that he was both free to speak and free to revise afterwards.
In between sessions, Glover typed up transcripts of the tapes so that Dylan could go through and make revisions. In addition to the three interview sessions, which amounted to about three-and-a-half hours, they spent twelve hours making corrections to the transcripts. Covering the key moments of Bob Dylan’s career from 1958 to 1971, his handwriting pours off of the pages as he crafts and re-crafts his own narrative, striking out passages and writing thoughts anew. Though full of candor, humor, and Dylan’s personality, the project was never published. Embodying the metamorphosis of Bob Dylan—from Zimmerman to Dylan, from the Greenwich Village folk scene through his emergence as an enigmatic rocker—these transcripts offer valuable primary source material that has never been seen by the public. Capturing Dylan in the act of self-transformation—one pen stroke at a time—there is nothing so autobiographically significant known to be in private hands.

Audio cassettes of Dylan’s unpublished 1971 interview with Tony Glover—over three hours of candid talk between old friends 5031. Bob Dylan 1971 Interview Tapes and Notes. Tony Glover’s archive of notes and original cassette tape recordings from his 1971 interview with Bob Dylan. The interview, conducted in three sessions in March 1971, spans four cassette tapes and has a combined duration of about 3.5 hours. Each case is labeled in black felt tip by Tony Glover, with dates of “3/18/71,” “3/22/71,” and “3/24/71.” Glover’s notes consist of a typed summary headed “Points Relevant to the Interview,” with brief biographical facts about Dylan; lists of questions sent by Esquire, with a note from John Lombardi encouraging Glover to “try to get him to talk a little longer—nothing sensational, just human”; several pages of Glover’s handwritten notes, with organizational thoughts jotted down related to Dylan’s biography, career, and transition from folk to rock; a three-page handwritten list by Glover of Dylan’s discography up to that point, naming albums and song titles; and a two-page handwritten chronology by Glover documenting the decade of Dylan’s life from 1961 to 1971. These significant notes were in Glover’s hands as he interviewed Dylan, and provided the roadmap for their conversation: they touch upon his early life in Hibbing, his name change, Jewish prejudice, movies, musical influences, Woody Guthrie, New York City, protest songs, America’s ‘melting pot,’ the media, the moon landings, the Frazier/Ali fight, fame versus freedom, criticism, Johnny Cash, drugs, going electric at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, songs like ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’ and ‘Like a Rolling Stone,’ his motorcycle accident, media coverage, his poetry collection Tarantula, bootlegs, characters in songs, the youth culture, and many other subjects. In overall very good to fine condition. RR Auction does not claim ownership of copyright therein, and is not sure who, if anyone, would own those copyrights, and is possession of the actual tangible items on consignment from the rightful owner thereof.

Remembering the 1965 Newport Folk Festival: “Yeah, it was a strange night” 5032. Bob Dylan Hand-Annotated 1971 Interview Transcript (Tape #2, First Correction). Typed transcript of
Bob Dylan’s interview with Tony Glover on March 22, 1971, 37 pages, 8.5 x 11, extensively annotated in blue felt tip by Dylan: on 36 pages, Dylan strikes through passages and pens new thoughts as he revises his own story. The upper right corner is annotated in felt tip by Tony Glover, “BD, D - Corrected, 1st Correction.” Also includes an original, uncorrected copy of the transcript.
Among the numerous topics discussed here are critical assessments of his craft—about which he writes, “My work is a moving thing”—early musical influences while growing up in Hibbing, his identity, meeting Woody Guthrie in 1961, the recording of his first albums with producer John Hammond, writing ‘Blowing in the Wind’ and ‘A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall,’ coverage in the media, the Ali-Frazier fight, walking on the moon, drugs, ‘going electric’ at Newport in 1965, his motorcycle accident, and his influence on popular music. After playfully reflecting on changing his name from Robert Zimmerman to Bob Dylan—”I mean it wouldn’t’ve worked if I’d changed the name to Bob Levy. Or Bob Neuwirth. Or Bob Doughnut. It wouldn’t of worked”—he discusses his Jewish identity in a handwritten passage, striking through some more controversial remarks and writing: “A lot of people are under the impression that Jews are just money lenders and merchants. A lot of people think that all Jews are like that. Well they used to be cause that’s all that was open to them. That’s all they were allowed to do.” Commenting about his role as a so-called ‘leader,’ Dylan strikes through several lines and modifies the narrative: “I’ve always sang in front of people—that role of ‘leader’ has been thrust on me and the Be[a]tles & Stones by the mass media—who’ve done it for manipulation of other people...they told all those people I was a leader—those people never heard it from me.” He goes on to strike through even more text on the subject,
writing “It’s not real” in the margin. Dylan’s sense of humor comes through in several of his corrections: explaining the difficulty of finding your own community in America’s cultural ‘melting pot,’ he lists various nationalities that have to get along, and adds in the margin: “English, even Swiss, Japaneze, & French and people from Brooklyn.” Asked if it bothers him that there’ll soon be hot dog stands on the moon, Dylan says it bothers him that they’re spending so much money on it, then writes: “and I don’t like hot dogs.” Talking about ‘going electric’ at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, Dylan modifies the transcript to read: “Yeah, it was a strange night. So I went back on solo and sang Mr. Tambourine Man and Baby Blue—because that’s what the crowd wanted to hear. They were just like little babies, they wanted to hear that, and thats all they wanted to hear—so I went and sang it for them. It was the easy thing to do—I just thought ‘oh forget it, do it and get out of there.’” Among the noteworthy deletions in this passage is a denigrating remark about the crowd: “At that time I just knew they were a bunch of fucks.” Returning to the subject of influence, the public, and the media, Dylan reflects: “Things had tooken me for a loop—people were coming to the door all the time, they thought I was a Hindu or a sage with an answer to their problems.” In fine condition. When compared to the original transcript accompanying this lot, the way in which Dylan aimed to shape his narrative becomes clearer: in many cases, the deletions are more telling than the additions. Struck through are passages about critics and the media, drug use amongst children, and various other quips and comments. A remarkable piece of popular music history, in which Dylan revises his own narrative—performing the act of self-transformation that came to characterize his career. Estimate $6,000 - 8,000

From Hibbing to NYC, Zimmerman to Dylan— “I wanted to become somebody new”
5033. Bob Dylan Hand-Annotated 1971 Interview Transcript (Tape #2, Second Correction). Typed/photocopied
transcript of part of Bob Dylan’s interview with Tony Glover in March 1971, 36 pages, 8.5 x 11, annotated in black felt tip by Dylan: on many pages, Dylan strikes through passages and pens new thoughts as he revises his own story. Headed “Tape # 2 Transcript, (tape #1 inter-edited),” the upper right corner is annotated in black felt tip by Tony Glover, “BD, Second Correction.” Also includes an original, uncorrected copy of the “Tape #1” transcript, which has been incorporated into this manuscript beginning on the fourth page. As this is the second correction, it is made up of several disparate parts: many pages are photocopied from the first correction (with previously made emendations printed as part of the copy), in addition to newly typed sections. Primarily using black felt tip, Dylan makes original corrections to about 19 pages—sometimes as simple as a small deletion, other times rewriting and
changing his responses. Glover makes a few changes and corrections to the document as well. Among the topics discussed here are his dislike of interviews (“They were mainly set up by the record company”), musical influences while growing up in Hibbing, his name change from Zimmerman to Dylan (“I wanted to become somebody new”), Jewish prejudice, actors he liked (James Dean “made a big impression”), traveling to New York and meeting Woody Guthrie, writing protest songs, his portrayal in the press, life in the American midwest compared to the coasts (“The midwest is like a casual hum”), the Ali-Frazier fight, the problem of fame versus freedom and going out to restaurants (“I’d rather eat at home”), drugs, going electric at Newport, and Little Richard (“It’s like he’s older, he’s saving something, holding back”). In fine condition. Estimate $4,000 - 6,000

Dylan riffs on truth in songwriting: “Do you think Johnny Cash shot a man in Reno?”
5034. Bob Dylan Hand-Annotated 1971 Interview Transcript (Day #3, First Correction). Typed transcript of Bob Dylan’s interview with Tony Glover on March 24, 1971, thirteen pages, 8.5 x 11, extensively annotated in blue felt tip by Dylan: on every page, Dylan strikes through passages and pens new thoughts as he revises his own story. The upper right corner is annotated in black felt tip by Tony Glover, “BD, Dylan Corrected, 1st Correction.” Also includes an original, uncorrected copy of the transcript.
Among the topics discussed here are Dylan’s albums John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline, his marriage, musical collaborations, the idea of selling out, the process of songwriting, and reading and writing. Often, the changes Dylan makes reveal his personality and sense of humor—straightforward replies are transformed into quippy questions, while some passages are deleted entirely. On the idea that he kept his marriage a secret, he strikes through his initial response (“I didn’t keep it a secret, I just didn’t find it—I just didn’t think anybody needed to know that”) and writes, “My wife knew.” Denying that his collaboration with Johnny Cash meant that he had adopted a right-wing ideology, he ponders: “What if I’d have played with Howling Wolf? Nobody would have thought twice about that.” Riffing
on the idea of lyrical truth, he playfully asks: “Do you think Johnny Cash shot a man in Reno? Would Paul Simon throw himself down over a troubled Hudson river and let someone use him for a bridge?” Clearly displeased when the subject turns to money and ‘ripping off the youth culture,’ Dylan deletes his original responses, re-writes several lines, then strikes those through as well. He settles on a firm denial: “There is no youth culture. It’s a term made up by the media and supported by the system.” The focus turns to literary efforts, and Dylan talks reading and writing: he found Kerouac’s On the Road forgettable, but enjoyed The Slave by Isaac Bashevis Singer—”I must have thought about that for months afterwards.” He also digs B. Traven, Norman Mailer, and Kenneth Patchen. In fine condition. The inclusion of the uncorrected transcript allows one to ponder the changes Dylan makes throughout the interview, juxtaposing his original candid answers with his revised thoughts on several subjects. In many cases, these deletions and changes are as telling as his responses, and offer key insight into Dylan’s thought process as he crafts his public persona. Estimate $4,000 - 6,000

An untold story from the 1966 ‘Judas’ show: “This big chick stormed the stage, she just came right up, crushing everything in sight”
5035. Bob Dylan Hand-Annotated 1971 Interview Transcript (All Tapes, First Correction). Typed/photocopied
transcript of Bob Dylan’s 1971 interview with Tony Glover, 47 pages, 8.5 x 11, annotated throughout in black felt tip by Dylan. Headed “All Tapes Transcribed—Interedited,” the transcript incorporates changes made by Dylan in previous edits, and boasts original handwritten revisions intermixed with photocopied annotations from previous iterations. The upper right corner is annotated in black felt tip by Tony Glover: “BD, 1st Correction, Dylan Corrected.” Primarily using black felt tip, Dylan makes original corrections to about 21 pages—sometimes changing a single word, other times prolifically deleting and rewriting questions and responses. Glover also makes a few corrections to the text. Representing an early draft of the complete interview, the topics covered here are wide ranging—from growing up in Hibbing to being booed at Newport and beyond. Most interesting are the revisions Dylan makes to the text: he revises a passage about prejudice against Jews, early performances
where he knew the first and last verses but ‘invented’ what was in between (“Nobody knew the difference”), comments on the ‘gay lib’ movement (“They’re not bothering anybody”), and writes an unknown story of the infamous 1966 ‘Judas’ concert in Manchester, revising the quote to read: “At some place, I think Manchester, instead of a drop in front of the stage there was just a roll up. Very strange—you could just walk right into the audience from the stage. And this big chick stormed the stage, she just came right up, crushing everything in sight, really meant to have it out—the electric music wasn’t working for her (laughs). She swung amps around pounced on the microphones, screamed like a moose and roared around beating her chest. It was awful.” He goes on to make other substantial revisions to some passages about reading and writing literature, noting that teaching himself the basics of writing is “really tough,” and says Jack Kerouac is “not great, entertaining.” In fine condition.

Dylan signs off on his Esquire interview, but not before changing it once more
More images available online at www.RRAuction.com
5036. Bob Dylan Signed and Annotated 1971 Interview Notes and Transcript (Esquire Copy). The Esquire copy of Tony Glover’s completed 1971 interview with Bob Dylan, comprising a two-page “Notes on the Interview” document setting the scene plus a final draft of the 46-page interview. The first page is signed at the top in blue ballpoint by Dylan, “Bob Dylan,” as approved for publication; it is also marked “E” in the corner, identifying it as the Esquire copy. In the introductory notes, Glover outlines the “sometimes surrealistic” process of arranging and conducting the interview, held over the course of three days in Dylan’s Greenwich Village studio/office in March 1971. He makes note of Dylan’s interview style—”He preferred to discuss the things he knows best—music and his life in it—usually parrying questions of current ‘social’ topics with a gentle sarcasm”—and concludes that the “main impression he gave was that of a man refusing to be categorized.” Summarizing the interview, Glover observes that “on some matters Dylan remains invisible, in others he reveals a good deal more than he has ever before.”
Interestingly—although he does discuss the arduous legal matters involved in arranging the interview, and calls it “one of the most demanding and enjoyable rides I’ve ever head”—Glover does not reveal that he ceded total control of the manuscript to Dylan, allowing him to edit and re-edit the material prior to
publication. This was a process that continued even in this final, “approved” draft—Dylan makes several changes throughout the transcript ballpoint and black felt tip; a number of edits are also in Glover’s hand. On the eighth page, asked whether his manager Al Grossman suggested what songs to sing, Dylan initially replied “Never!,” and here he adds in blue ballpoint: “He just took big percentages.” On the next page, asked why he first made records, he initially replied, “At that time they were sort of like a document,” and here he adds in black felt tip, “Also, I wanted to be famous.” Editing a story about a ‘big chick’ storming the stage at the infamous ‘Judas’ concert in Manchester (1966), he changes the simple word ‘came’ to the more visually descriptive “poured”; on the same page, Glover writes the word “twin” to describe folk singer-songwriter David Blue. In discussing Anthony Scaduto’s biography of him, Dylan crosses out his two-line response to the question “Isn’t it weird to have things based on talking to everybody who ever knew you for five minutes?,” and writes: “It sure is.” Adding to a list of potential tracks for a ‘Best of Bob Dylan’ album, he adds, “4th Time Around.” Touching on authors he’s read who have changed him, he adds “William Carlos Williams” and “Tolstoy.” In fine condition.

Rare note from Dylan with 7-inch ‘scratch track’ tape from his Greatest Hits Vol. 2—“Here they are & I’d like to know your reaction (if any)”

reaction (if any).” In fine condition. Dylan forwarded this 7-inch reel tape to Glover after Esquire magazine declined to publish an interview written by the latter.

Only a few of the original spiral-bound galley proofs were produced, but ‘bookleggers’ soon obtained one and created pirated copies which were sold until it was officially released in 1971.

Autographed ‘Double Fantasy’ album covers are quite rare and immensely desirable and this is an excellent example, with great provenance.” Additionally, Cox notes that this album is indeed one of the Double Fantasy albums signed “at their home office on November 21, 1980 after the historic photo session in Central Park,” a distinction he believes elevates this album as “one of the most historic John Lennon / Yoko Ono signed items in existence.” To date, this is one of only two signed copies of Double Fantasy that have been sold with photographic evidence of Lennon signing the album—the other being the one he signed to his killer.

5427. Roy Buchanan’s Stage-Used Les Paul Guitar. Roy Buchanan’s stage-used tobacco sunburst-finish 1971–72 Les Paul Standard 58/54 Reissue electric guitar (serial no. 678450), owned and played by Buchanan for many years. One of the first ‘re-issued’ guitars, it is based on the iconic early Les Pauls of the 1950s, featuring two P-90 pickups, a one-piece neck, one-piece mahogany body with thin binding in cutaway, headstock with no volute, and a wraparound bridge. Accompanied by a glossy 8 x 10 Atlantic Records publicity photo of Buchanan holding this exact guitar (with matching woodgrain pattern evident in the image), as well as a letter of provenance from his wife, Judy Buchanan, in full: “Gibson Les Paul-serial number 678450 belonged to Roy Buchanan.

Also included are Buchanan’s 1978 album You’re Not Alone (featuring the same Atlantic promo image on the back cover), and a 1992 bill of sale which also states this guitar was owned by Buchanan.

A guitar player for most of his life, Buchanan interacted with all kinds of musicians including Robbie Robertson and Jimi Hendrix. A pioneer of different sounds and techniques, Buchanan rarely used effects pedals, instead relying on unconventional methods to achieve his sound, including pouring water on the tubes of his amplifier. A super rare offering of a stage and studio-used guitar from one of music’s most revered guitarists. Starting Bid $500

Ace Frehley’s customized stageused Les Paul, used during the KISS reunion and his solo career 5433. KISS: Ace Frehley’s Stage-Used Guitar. Ace Frehley’s stage-used 1993 Gibson Les Paul electric guitar (serial no. 92883385), featuring a gorgeous cherry sunburst finish and design customizations including: “ACE” etched into the mother-of-pearl inlay at the twelfth fret, a planet etched into the mother-of-pearl truss rod plate on the headstock, and a “Mighty Mouse” sticker on the back of the body. The guitar has three DiMarzio humbucker pickups, pearloid tuners, a cream-colored pickguard, standard rhythm/treble switch, and four volume/tone knobs. It exhibits numerous small dents and dimples on the upper portion of the body, a characteristic of Frehley’s personally-used guitars—the result of ‘punching’ the guitar with the rings worn on his right hand. The back of the headstock is signed in silver ink, “Ace Frehley,” along with his trademark sketch of an Ace of Hearts. Includes its Gibson hardshell case, and also accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed in black ballpoint by Frehley, a photocopy of a FedEx shipping label sending the guitar from Frehley’s home in San Diego, and several images of Frehley playing the guitar. Many images exist that show Frehley with this iconic guitar: he is shown posing with it inside the 1996–1997 Kiss ‘Alive/ Worldwide’ Tour program (the woodgrain patterns in the image clearly match those on this guitar’s body), and on the cover of the September 1996 issue of Guitar World magazine covering KISS’s reunion; original examples of the program and magazine are included. Further, video exists of him playing it in concert footage from the Birch Hill Nightclub in New Jersey on February 19, 1995 (toward the end, both the mother-of-pearl planet on the headstock and ‘Mighty Mouse’ sticker are seen); and at the 30th anniversary party for Eddie Trunk’s radio show at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City on October 23, 2013 (when he takes the guitar off after playing ‘Rock and Roll All Nite,’ the ‘Mighty Mouse’ sticker can be seen on the back). Frehley’s stage-used guitars rarely hit the public market, and this example is especially well-documented: the signed certificate from Frehley identifies this specific guitar by its ‘Mighty Mouse’ sticker and matching serial number; and it is
seen with him in multiple photographs and videos. This guitar also formed the basis for the Ace Frehley Signature Model Les Paul (ACE 300) released by Gibson in 1997. As the original lead guitarist of KISS, Frehley created the ‘Spaceman’ persona and toured and recorded with the group from its inception in 1973 until his departure in 1982, when he embarked on a solo career. He rejoined the group for their 1996 reunion tour, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014. Boasting ideal photographic and video evidence of extensive stage-use, this is a remarkable personally-owned guitar from one of the great hard rock guitarists of the 20th century. Starting Bid $2500

Incredible photo-matched shirt worn on stage by reggae legend Bob Marley at the Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara, California, on July 23, 1978, as part of the second North American leg of the Kaya Tour with The Wailers.

In fine condition, with expected wear from use. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the consignor: “In 1996 my friend gave me a shirt that Bob Marley’s sister had given him after he had helped her with a personal matter. He had maybe four or five shirts made by Bob Marley’s mother and gave me the smallest one because it fit me. He had dreadlocks to his knees and introduced me to Jimmy Cliff backstage at his concert so I really felt the story was true. In August 2020 after years of searching I finally found proof...a photo of Bob wearing the shirt on stage in the sun! July 23, 1978 Santa Barbara County.” Starting Bid $2500

Catch a Fire album by Bob Marley and the Wailers, signed and inscribed on the front cover in black felt tip, “Richard, Rasta fari guide, Bob Marley.” In very good to fine condition, with scattered scratches to the surface, and creasing to the right side. The record is not included. The first signed example of Marley’s classic Catch a Fire that we’ve offered—the fifth studio album by The Wailers proved a significant turning point for both the celebrity of Marley and for the history of reggae music. When recording was completed, lsland label head and producer Chris Blackwell overdubbed the instruments to make them more appealing to a Western audience. Upon its release in the spring of 1973, Catch a Fire’s fresh sound, coupled with its subsequent concert tour in England and the United States, quickly established the Wailers as international stars. A highly displayable, uncommon, and boldly signed album with cover art featuring Esther Anderson’s portrait of Marley smoking a large spliff. Starting Bid $1000

Vintage Jaguar guitar signed by Stevie Ray Vaughan hours before his death
5497. Stevie Ray Vaughan Signed Guitar. Beautiful vintage 1965 black-bodied Fender Jaguar (L85679) electric guitar, signed on the body in gold paint pen by Stevie Ray Vaughan, who adds “90,” Jimmie Vaughan, Robert Cray, Bonnie Raitt, and Chris Janata. With the exception of Raitt, the signatures were all obtained following a star-studded showcase at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin, on the night of August 26, 1990, a concert now remembered for the final performance of Stevie Ray Vaughan, who, upon leaving the venue in a Bell 206B helicopter, lost his life at the age of 35 when the aircraft crashed into a nearby ski hill shortly after takeoff. The Raitt signature was obtained early the next morning at a Milwaukee hotel, a few hours before news broke that Vaughan and four other passengers had perished overnight. In very good to fine condition, with expected signs of use. The guitar is accompanied by the original hardshell carrying case in well-traveled condition, as well as additional ephemera related to the fateful Alpine Valley concert: a complete and unused ticket for the show; a ‘Support’ pass for “Eric Clapton Tour ‘90,” marked “RC” [Robert Cray] and stamped “26 Aug 90, Alpine Valley”; and a promotional ticket voucher for the concert, good for one “lawn ticket only at the Alpine Valley Box Office.” Also included is a signed letter of authenticity from Cray, which reads, in part: “This is to certify that [name withheld] was my guest at the Alpine Valley Music Theater, outside Milwaukee, WI, for a concert featuring Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robert Cray and Chris Janata. Following the show held on August 26, 1990…[the guitar was] signed by myself, Chris Janata, Jimmie Vaughan and Stevie Ray Vaughan.” Guitars signed on the body by SRV remain exceedingly rare, with this example—signed at his final concert and, in all likelihood, the last guitar he would ever sign—easily distancing itself from all others as a cornerstone rock music artifact of the highest caliber.

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. This acknowledgement is a material term of these Conditions of Sale and of the consideration under which RR Auction agrees to these terms. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
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 discre-
tion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. RR Auction reserves the right to exclude any person from the Auction. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid and agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale in addition to company for whom the Bidder is acting By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. Section 2 Bidding Privileges 2.1 In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established an account with RR Auction must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply additional information if requested, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders who are not members of RRAuction.com should pre-register before the close of the Auction to allow adequate time to contact references. Privileges will be granted at the sole discretion of RR Auction. Additionally, Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide a cash deposit prior to RR Auction’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: RRAuction.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the Auction venue. 2.2 Bidder providing any false or misleading information provided in connection with the registration shall be a material breach of the Conditions of Sale and in addition to any other remedies at law shall excuse RR Auction from performance under these Conditions of Sale, including the right to any refund. 2.2 Bidding privileges may be revoked without notice, for any reason, at the sole discretion of RR Auction . Section 3 Buyer’s Premium 3.1 The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed and live Auctions. Buyer’s premium for our Sports Auctions is 20%. For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is earlier. Bidder’s failure to pay any payment in full when due required shall constitute a material breach, and in addition to other damages available under contract or law, at RR Auction’s election, RR Auction may cancel the sale and require full premium still be due along with interest at 1.5% per month from the date of breach, or at the maximum legally allowable rate. Section 4 Bidding 4.1 Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s) and independent investigation, rather than the any reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. Bidder affirms that it regards any statements made by RR Auction concerning the item as solely opinion and that Bidder is making its own inspection and independent evaluation of the goods, and is not relying upon any description or statements by RR Auction
(including as to quality, authenticity, provenance, ownership, liens existing, on goods legality, or value) in making its determination to bid on or purchase an item. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. 4.2 RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake. 4.3 All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing. RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder. 4.4 Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Consignor, or assignee of Consignor, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by Bidder and Bidder has fully satisfied any outstanding financial obligations to RR Auction (including as it concerns aby other lots). RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder. 4.5 It is the Bidder’s responsibility and obligation to have the lots fully insured while in their possession. Bidder assumes any and all risk of loss upon the earlier of shipment to Bidder or in Bidder’s possession. 4.6 Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction a lien consisting of a senior security interest (or purchase money security interest to the extent applicable) in such sums or items to the fullest extent applicable, authorizes RR Auction to file documents concerning the interest, and Bidder agrees to execute any further documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest. Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued fees and expenses, until the indebtedness is paid. 4.7 By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. The authorized representative of any corporate Bidder who is present at the sale shall provide RR Auction or its agent, prior to the commencement of the bidding (or at the time of registration), with a statement signed by a principal, director or officer that they he or she personally and unconditionally guarantees any payment due RR Auction. 4.8 RR Auction may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors and/or prospective Bidders. Section 5 Bidding Options 5.1 Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to in-person, facsimile, phone and mail bids) are treated similarly to floor bids in that they must be on-increment. Any in-person, facsimile, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full increment and this revised amount will be considered Bidder’s high bid.
5.2 When identical bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at RR Auction’s place of business at least twenty-four (24) hours before the Auction start. RR Auction is not responsible for executing mail bids or facsimile bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is RR Auction responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins. 5.3 In all Auctions, bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10%, or as specified on a per-Auction basis. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted. In a live sale, bids on an item can change at the discretion of RR Auction. 5.4 RR Auction reserves the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced. Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless RR Auction directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). For live auctions, RR Auction will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. RR Auction will determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale, or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive. Section 6 Payment 6.1 Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than sixty (60) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder. 6.2 Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot. 6.3 All sales for total invoices greater than $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 prearranged 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.

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
Section 7
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.
Sales Tax
Section 10
RR Auction is a remote seller and we are now required to collect Sales/Use Tax from our bidders. The states that we have nexus in we will be required to collect and remit sales tax on your behalf. Each state has different requirements to meet nexus. When RR Auction has achieved a certain monetary and/or invoice threshold in each state we will apply sales tax to your total invoice. Please go to our terms on our website to see the states that are affected.
Rights Reserved
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.
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 thirdparty sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium. 11.13 Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a nonsale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement. Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with ”do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available. 11.14 Rules of Construction: RR Auction presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions. Nothing herein shall be construed to waive the general Conditions of Sale by these additional rules and shall be construed to give force and effect to the rules in their entirety. Section 12 RR Auction’s Remedies Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of material breach or default. In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate
RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any Bidder’s property in RR Auction’s possession or to which title has not yet passed to Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Section 13 Warranties 13.1 RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold ”as is” and “where is”. By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) related to the item, or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title. 13.2 All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Terminology), authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in the Catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a good faith effort made by RR Auction to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein; they are statements of opinion only. They are not representations or warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the Auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices. 13.3 Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each lot prior to bidding, and RR Auction urges Bidders to avail themselves accordingly. 13.4 All lots sold by RR Auction are accompanied by an Auction Certificate (“AC”). On any lot presented with an AC issued by RR Auc-
tion, 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
arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, the remaining parts of the agreement and remainder of the sections or terms and provisions of the section and all sections shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way. Section 20 Governing Law and Enforcement 20.1 The Parties agree that all agreements between the Parties including but not limited to these Conditions of Sale are entered into in Boston, Massachusetts, no matter where Bidder is situated and no matter by what means or where Bidder was informed of the Auction and regardless of whether catalogs, materials, or other communications were received by Bidder in another location. 20.2 The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, any other related agreement(s), along with all claims between the Parties, including those arising out of or related to such are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles. The Parties agree that any dispute between the Parties, including but not limited to those related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale, or related to or arising out of any other related agreement(s) shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration (the ”Arbitration”) before a single Arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) The Parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the AAA in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the Consumer Arbitration Rules apply, in which case, such rules and venue will govern. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall also recover all of its related fees and costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, if RR Auction prevails, such recovery, in addition to all remedies available at agreement or law, shall include the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale.

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.

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.

Section 22 Glossary of Condition terms
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:
A written express warranty is provided with each autographed collectible, as required by law. This dealer may be surety bonded or otherwise insured to ensure the authenticity of any autographed collectible sold by this dealer.
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.
