Beatles The Beatles head to Hamburg with Best 4001. Beatles and Pete Best Signed 1962 Cavern Club Promo Card. Very
rare vintage glossy 5.75 x 4 deckle edge promo photo showing the leather-clad Beatles with Pete Best on drums, with printed text on the reverse: “With Best Wishes from Paul, Pete, John, George, The Beatles, April 5th 1962.” Signed and inscribed on the reverse in blue ink, “George Harrison, To Jurgen,” “Paul McCartney,” “John Lennon,” and “Pete Best.” In very good to fine condition, with some creasing (a vertical crease passes through Best’s signature), and some light staining and soiling. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original owner, in part: “When I was thirteen or fourteen I was a big Beatles fan… My parents had some Taxis, where students and different people were driving this Taxis. One girl was around 10 or 11 years older than me…This time I was telling everybody about my love about the Beatles, specially about Paul. One day, Zenta…was coming, telling me she had a present for me from her friend Jurgen, who was at this concert in Hamburg. She was telling him about me and then he give it to her.” On April 5, 1962, the Beatles played a concert at the Cavern Club specially arranged by the band’s Liverpool fan club. The group performed two highenergy sets, dressing in old leather jackets and trousers for the first before changing into their modish Beno Dorn suits and ties before the second. Less than two weeks later, the Beatles served as the opening act at the launch of the Star-Club in Hamburg on April 13, 1962, and stayed on with the venue until the end of May. The next time the Beatles played the Star Club in early November, Ringo Starr had replaced Pete Best as the band’s full-time drummer, forever solidifying the classic Fab Four lineup. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $1,000

In overall fine condition, with signs of professional cleaning around Harrison’s signature.

They returned to German clubs with frequency over the next two years, a period punctuated by the death of Stuart Sutcliffe, the hiring of manager Brian Epstein, and the band’s signing to EMI Parlophone. Shortly after the band’s first Abbey Road recording session on June 6, 1962, Best was ousted from the group and replaced later that summer with Ringo Starr. An exceptionally crisp cast of an early Beatles lineup. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $1,000

Extremely rare fully signed ticket for the 1963 Royal Variety Performance
4005. Beatles Signed 1963 Royal Command Performance Admission Ticket. Immensely desirable ticket stub, 4.5
x 3.5, for the infamous appearance of the Beatles at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London on November 4, 1963, for a royal variety performance before Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother, issued as “Artistes and Staff Pass,” with the ticket holder’s name, “Mr. Baker,” typed into the upper left corner. The reverse has been attractively signed in black ballpoint by Ringo Starr and John Lennon, and in blue ballpoint by Paul McCartney and George Harrison. Additionally, the front has been signed in black ink by legendary actress Marlene Dietrich, who was in attendance as a performer that evening. Restored to fine condition via tasteful and unobtrusive professional cleaning, which lightly impinges upon portions of the signatures. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, in part: “The ticket was signed on November 4, 1963, after the show, and these signatures are excellent examples of each…This ticket represents a significant performance in the history of The Beatles, and was proof positive that they had officially ‘made it’ in England. This is a rare and extremely desirable item, with very few being signed on the night of the event, and one of only 3 which have surfaced, these actually being much rarer than signed programs from the event.” The band’s selection as part of the Royal Variety Performance did much to propel Beatlemania across the whole of England. The group performed four songs—’From Me To You,’ ‘She Loves You,’ ‘Till There Was You,’ and ‘Twist and Shout’—and when ITV broadcasted the show a week later on November 10, an estimated 21 million people tuned in. This was also the event where John Lennon took a jab at the Crown with his famous bit of stage banter: ‘For our last number I’d like to ask your help. The people in the cheaper seats clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you’d just rattle your jewelry.’ A magnificent, fully signed piece from one of the earliest Beatles controversies. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $2,500

Fully signed copies of a first printing Beatles Book remain exceedingly scarce and are thus highly coveted by collectors. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $1,000

Sought-after Macmillan ‘outtake’ prints from Abbey Road 4020. Beatles Set of (5) Prints. Highly appealing
set of five color ‘outtake’ prints for the cover of the Beatles album Abbey Road. Originally taken by Scottish photographer Iain Macmillan, each print measures 6.5 x 6.5, and shows five unused images of the band walking on the Abbey Road zebra crossing, with Macmillan signing the top center print in black felt tip. Although outwardly similar, with the consistent lineup of Lennon leading and Harrison trailing, the images differ in various subtle ways, including: road traffic, stepping pattern, frame symmetry, and distance between members; additionally, McCartney switches between wearing sandals and walking barefoot. Also included is an original 6.5 x 6.5 print of Macmillan’s image for the Abbey Road back cover, which famously shows a girl in a blue dress accidentally walking through the shot. Double-cloth-matted and framed to an overall size of 28.75 x 23. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original owner, in part: “While visiting Liverpool…we saw a banner announcing a celebration of art celebrating the Beatles by various artists…Of course we went in and among the various painting and sculptures there were photos of the Beatles crossing Abbey Road by the photographer Iain Macmillan, next to the photos was a small ledger that could be signed to indicate interest…I suddenly got a call from the photographer asking if I would like to buy copies of the photos…and a month or so later these pictures came in the mail.” Also accompanied by the original signed letter from Macmillan, regarding interest in the prints, dated May 29, 1987, in part: “The prints are now available and are of superb quality, being made on a new generation of paper, and are from the original transparencies…I will sign print no 6 in black ink on the zebra crossing…It is a condition of purchase that the enclosed Terms of Sale Agreement is completed and returned with payment.” Additional accompaniments include: the referenced and signed Terms of Sale Agreement, dated August 10, 1987; a compliments card signed and inscribed to the owner in black ink by Macmillan; a color photo of The Art of the Beatles Exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery, with artwork pricing sheet; and a letter from the Merseyside County Council, dated August 20, 1984. On the morning of August 8, 1969, Macmillan, a friend of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, met the Beatles outside of EMI Studios to photograph the Abbey Road album cover. Following instructions sketched by Paul McCartney, Macmillan climbed a stepladder placed in the middle of the street and, with a hired police officer halting traffic, snapped six photos of the Fab Four, with the fifth photo taken—the band’s legs in ideal formation and a shoeless McCartney holding a cigarette—ultimately used for the cover. A rare and remarkable visual display representing the creation of Abbey Road’s iconic cover art. Starting Bid $1,000

My whole hour which you raked off and swept off for me and my gittbox...I’ve got several hundred more of my own folksongs and ballads which I do for kids of all ages from one to a thousand and one. I know about that samely number of songs I’ve learned off of miners, winder, diners and shiners, timber jacks, crop hands, cowpokes, tophands, road gangs, chain gangs, jails, railriders, up and down travelers, in and out rambler, circle goers, hoboers, comers and goers, dry boners, and wet soakers. My own songs tell about the good and bad times, hot & cold times, dry spells, flood times, the plagues and sad sicknesses, the diseases we’ve whipped and the ones we still must wrastle with, the tragic accidents that rake us and take us, the quakes, shakes, the storms, the wild crazy actions of the hurricane and cyclone, the ships that never return, the trains that miss a bend, a plane that towls up, and the one that lays and prays eleven whole nights in the ginroom. It would tickle me all over to spend another hour with all of you good people there around KGIL.” 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. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $300

Summer of Love & 1960s
Half a century ago, the ‘Summer of Love’ occurred when over 100,000 young hippies and artists congregated in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood.

Several artists and bands became synonymous with this 1960s period including icons: Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Grateful Dead, and Janis Joplin. Offered in this special ‘Summer of Love’ 50th Anniversary section we have autographs, photos, programs, and posters.

Diaz was also called into service as a guitarist in Dylan’s touring band in 1991, playing on nearly fifty dates after G. E. Smith left the band.

Original Warner Bros. artwork for Electric Ladyland 4101. Jimi Hendrix Experience Original ‘Electric Ladyland’ Cover Artwork. Original album artwork design for the US release of Electric Ladyland, the third and final studio record from The Jimi Hendrix Experience, as commissioned by the Warner Bros. Records art department in 1968. The ‘mechanical’ is affixed to its original 15 x 20 artist board, and depicts a seated image of Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell, and Noel Redding, 12.75 x 14.5, with affixed hand-lettered type labels to upper corners, “Electric Ladyland” and “The Jimi Hendrix Experience,” and a “Stereo” label set immediately above Hendrix’s head. Center bears a black felt tip notation, “Position Only!!!,” and mount and outskirts of image feature ink and graphite notations and measurements. Mount retains its original tracing cover with red felt tip notations. Mounted and framed to an overall size of 19.5 x 25. In fine condition.
Initially proposed as the front cover for Electric Ladyland, the Experience group image was ultimately relegated to back cover status and fitted with entirely different type. Instead, Warner Bros. opted for a closeup of Hendrix’s head from a performance at Saville Theatre, an image originally taken by Karl Ferris. The hand-lettered type for the ‘alternative’ artwork is believed to have been drawn by Los Angeles designer John Van Hamersveld, and the mechanical laid out by the album’s art director, Ed Thrasher; during the design and print process, mechanicals were sent to the label’s color separator, which was then used to make film for the album cover printer. Consignor notes that in the mid 1970s, the Warner Bros. art department hired a freelance art director to clean their massive archive, disposing of old files and creating space for newer projects. Of the various discarded pieces he was allowed to keep, many were presented to family and friends as gifts, with this preliminary album design an example of such. Starting Bid $500

Rare alternative album cover proof for the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s third album 4105. The Jimi Hendrix Experience ‘Smash Hits’ Album Cover Proof. Ex-

The proof has color bars along the top and a Warner/ Reprise logo at the bottom. This was the original artwork planned for Hendrix’s third album (released only four months after Axis, Bold As Love). However, at some point a decision was made to scrap this artwork in favor of a multiple exposure photograph of Jimi alone. On the original US release, a poster using a cropped version of this photograph was included with the initial copies. This is one of a few proofs produced by Hendrix’s label Reprise/Warner Bros. They were discarded by the label in the early 1970s and rescued from the dumpster by an enterprising employee. In fine condition. A compilation of singles by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Smash Hits peaked at #4 on the British album chart and #6 on the Billboard 200. An incredibly desirable piece of alternative pre-production cover art. In 2016, a 5000-copy limited edition reissue of Smash Hits was issued for ‘Record Store Day’ using this artwork; the reissue was produced using a scan of the alternate cover provided by the consignor.

Hendrix and company would cap off the year with further touring in both the UK and Scandinavia, riding high on the success of their two 1967 albums, Are You Experienced and Axis: Bold as Love. An ideal, uninscribed set of the full Experience lineup, a trio which is becoming increasingly more difficult to find. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $500

Jim Morrison rocks the 1967 Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival 4115. Jim Morrison 1967 Signature. Vintage
ballpoint signature, “J. Morrison,” on the reverse of a light blue 4 x 2.5 discount pass to Marin Skateland in San Rafael, California, stamp-dated June 9, 1967. In fine condition, with some very light staining and a central vertical fold. Accompanied by the original and extremely rare KFRC Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain program map listing the artists appearing at the two day festival, including The Doors and Jefferson Airplane, the Byrds, Dionne Warwick, Tim Buckley, the Steve Miller Blues Band, The Seeds, and Country Joe and the Fish, amongst others; a modern unsigned photo of Morrison is included as well. Also accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA, and a copy of a handwritten letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: “I liked many bands but I was especially interested in the Doors. I could not stop listening to their first album. You can imagine how thrilled I was when I found out about this Magic Mountain festival…My friend, Kim, and I got tickets as soon as they were available… The Doors did a great set with all our favorites…As it was getting to the end of their set I decided to try and get close to the stage. By luck, I was right up front when Jim Morrison stopped playing and came over to the crowd. When he got to the edge of the stage I dug into my purse and came up with the only paper I had, a Marin Skateland pass. I waved it to him and he took it and signed it. He gave me a smile and I was in heaven.” What’s most unique about this autograph is that Morrison signed the pass just after The Doors had completed their set and he was still on stage. Morrison autographs are exceptionally scarce to begin with, and rarely have any direct music connection as this example does. On June 10 and 11, 1967, the KFRC Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival hosted over 30 bands and 36,000 people at the Sidney B. Cushing Memorial Amphitheatre in Marin County, California. Although the Monterey International Pop Festival has long been deemed the seminal event of the 1967 Summer of Love, the KFRC Festival occurred one week prior and is considered to have been America’s first rock festival. The Doors performed on the opening day with acts like Jefferson Airplane, the Charlatans, and Canned Heat. The band’s eponymous debut album had been released five months prior, but despite months of touring, this would be the first time many in the audience saw the band perform. It was The Doors’ first major live concert in front of a large audience, and Morrison’s performance left them mesmerized. On the strength of their hit single ‘Light My Fire,’ which would reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100 the following month, this much talked about festival performance proved to be a pivotal moment in the band’s meteoric rise to stardom that summer.

Historic lease documents for Woodstock’s original site: “200 acres of vacant land in the Town of Wallkill…to be used and occupied only for a music festival, art show and associated functions” 4125. Woodstock: Howard Mills Jr. Wallkill Archive.
Archive of material concerning the lease for the originally proposed Woodstock site in Wallkill, New York, from the collection of Howard Mills, Jr., the owner of the property. The collection is highlighted by two original copies of the lease agreement between Mills Heights, Inc. and Woodstock Ventures, each signed by Mills, “Howard D. Mills, Jr.,” and by Woodstock financier John P. Roberts, “John Roberts,” ten pages, May 23, 1969. The lease describes “200 acres of vacant land in the Town of Wallkill…to be used and occupied only for a music festival, art show and associated functions and concessions in connection therewith, such festival to be opened for public admission for a period of not more than one week, but with an option to hold a second festival.” Also includes a document from the day before, May 22, 1969, signed by Woodstock Ventures partner Joel Rosenman and Howard Mills, Jr., confirming that Woodstock Ventures would exercise a previously agreed upon option to lease the property. Additional items include a few other original letters and carbon copies of legal correspondence, mimeographed copies of lawsuit filings and court documents, and various relevant newspaper clippings, plus a binder full of similar ephemera. One such item is a carbon copy of a letter to Rosenman from Mills’s attorney Herbert J. Fabricant, dated July 14, 1969, expressing concern over their insurance policy: “I would like confirmation of the nature of the coverage since a comprehensive general liability policy usually excepts civil disorder and riots,—and it is this risk which especially concerns me.” Other correspondence concerns Mills’s attempts to recover damages after the festival was relocated. In overall very good to fine condition. Conceived by budding entrepreneurs John Roberts and Joel Rosenman, the Woodstock Festival—billed as “An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music”—was originally scheduled to take place in Wallkill, NY, on Mills’s property. Although Wallkill officials were assured that no more than 50,000 people would attend, town residents immediately and vocally opposed the festival. On July 15th, the Wallkill zoning board officially banned the concert from taking place on the basis that the planned portable toilets would not meet town code. With less than 30 days to go before the festival’s start date, Roberts and Rosenman were left without a venue. They scrambled to search for a new location, and quickly found Max Yasgur’s farm in the adjacent county. They paid Yasgur $75,000 to rent his land—far more than the $10,000 agreed upon with Mills—and announced the new venue in an advertisement published in the New York Times on July 25, 1969, headed: “To Insure Three Days of Peace & Music We’ve Left Wallkill And Are Now At White Lake, N.Y.” An original copy of this New York Times ad is included in the archive. With a mere three weeks to go before the festival’s opening, new posters and advertisements had to be created to reflect the change. Despite some hiccups—there wasn’t time to finish construction of the fences and ticket booths, effectively making admission free—Woodstock went on to become the most famous rock concert of the 20th century, while Wallkill firmly resides in the territory of ‘what could have been.’ These lease documents represent the foundations of the legendary festival, as well as the trials and tribulations that came with it. A truly unique and culturally significant archive. Starting Bid $300

Oversized original photograph used for the cover of 1974’s Heroes Are Hard To Find 4178. Fleetwood Original Photograph Used on ‘Heroes are Hard to Find’ Album Cover.
Rare original vintage glossy 15.5 x 19.5 photograph of Mick Fleetwood by Herbert W. Worthington, used on the cover of Fleetwood Mac’s 1974 album Heroes Are Hard To Find. The photo is dry-mounted to a same-size board, stamped on the reverse, “This Photographic Print Created and Produced by Worthington, Jun 15 1974.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a copy of the Heroes Are Hard To Find album. Consignor notes that this comes from Worthington’s estate. Heroes Are Hard To Find was recorded during July 1974, and released on September 15, 1974; this print therefore dates from long before the album’s release. It is almost certainly the actual print used by the Warner Bros. Records art department to create the album cover, as it is the exact type that a photographer would submit for use on an album. If a photographer requested, the original ‘shooting art’ would be returned to them. In Mick Fleetwood’s autobiography Play On: Now, Then, and Fleetwood Mac, he describes Worthington’s creation of this album cover: ‘Herbie was an artist as iconic as the images he created…He was the one we chose to shoot the cover of Heroes Are Hard to Find, an image that features me modeling gorgeously a pair of lace underpants that belonged to Sandra. I’ve got my chest puffed-up, which means my ribs are showing and I’m holding my three-year-old daughter Amelia’s hands as she stands on my shoes. He took that photo of us in a three-way mirror, so the final image is three sides, back-to-back. Herbie was to remain a close friend of the band, in fact he was the one who took the iconic photos that became the covers of Fleetwood Mac and Rumours.’ Starting Bid $300

This was one of a few different versions of the cover artwork that Bowers designed for We Can’t Dance, and is a slightly different variation than the one finally chosen. In fine condition.

One of the album’s singles, ‘I Can’t Dance,’ was nominated for the Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals. An exquisite piece of production concept art for a popular album.

Extraordinary 1970 Asbury Park ticket stub for the fabled Bruce Springsteen/Black Sabbath show 4205. Bruce Springsteen and Black Sabbath 1970 Asbury Park Ticket Stub. Exceedingly rare ticket stub for

Steel Mill, which featured the 21-year-old Springsteen as its frontman, was the opening act for the triple-bill; during the early show, there was a power failure halfway through their 14-minute rendition of ‘Dancing in the Streets,’ prompting the frustrated Springsteen to exclaim, ‘We must be the guinea pigs here tonight.’ Black Sabbath was fronted by Ozzy Osbourne, who reportedly received death threats before the show. This incredible pairing of music legends—both very early in their respective careers—makes this a truly remarkable piece. Starting Bid $200

Johnny Rotten wouldn’t sign at the time, as he was busy doing interviews. He eventually signed the album during the Sex Pistols 1996 Filthy Lucre tour.” The Sex Pistols embarked on a brief yet furious US tour in January 1978. Originally scheduled to start a few days before New Year’s, the band’s criminal records made American authorities reluctant to issue visas, resulting in the cancellation of the tour’s first four shows; the show at Randy’s Rodeo was their third successful stop of the tour. The drug-addled and violent events of the band’s notorious US outing led to the disbanding of the Sex Pistols.

Monte A. Melnick Ramones Collection
For over two decades, Monte A. Melnick, a native of Forest Hills, New York, and a childhood friend of original Ramones drummer Tommy (Ramone) Erdelyi, assumed the enviable task of being the full-time tour manager of the Ramones. As the band’s sound evolved, so did Monte’s job title, and it wasn’t long before he took upon other default roles such as soundman, stage manager, road manager, personal chauffeur, road crew handler, and the personal assistant to the band’s lanky leading frontman, Joey Ramone. If the Ramones needed something done, rest assured that Monte was the man to see it through. In addition to all of the sights, sounds, stories, and scars accrued over most of the 2,263 live performances, Monte amassed a once-in-a-lifetime collection of memorabilia related to the world’s most popular and influential punk rock band. From backstage passes and leather gloves to signed photos, albums, US and international posters, Monte’s collection spans shabby nightclubs, sold-out festivals, the seat-shaking anthem spray-painted with a surname every young musician wanted as their own—Ramone. Monte A. Melnick is also the author of “On The Road with the Ramones,” a book in which several of the here-offered items are pictured. The Ramones are the seminal punk rock band, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, Grammy & MTV’s Lifetime Achievement Award winners and inductees into The Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry.

-used peach-colored Earth III guitar strap used during the 1987 Sign o’ the Times Tour, from the collection of Prince’s former guitar technician and occasional photographer Joel Bernstein. In fine condition, with wear to leather buckle consistent with heavy use. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Bernstein, in full: “This letter is to authenticate a peach-colored guitar strap used on stage by Prince, during his 1987 Sign o’ The Times tour. Prince used two identical custom-made peach colored guitars during this tour, each one with an identical strap. From the evidence of use to this strap, I’d guess this was from the more heavily used guitar. This strap can be seen in use in many live videos and photographs, including the Sign o’ The Times concert film. I worked with Prince from 1987 through 1991, as his personal guitar technician for concerts and recording, and occasionally as his photographer. This period included Sign O’ The Times, Lovesexy, the Batman soundtrack, and My Name is Prince.” Also includes a letter of authenticity from Jeff Gold, the owner of Recordmecca and a former executive vice president/general manager of Warner Bros.

From the collection of Prince’s former guitar technician and occasional photographer Joel Bernstein, and accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by him, in part: “This letter is to authenticate a mirrored bat symbol wristband worn by Prince, in concert and during photo shoots in the Batman era. Prince can be seen wearing near identical bat symbols on his coat and wrist in the Batdance video. I worked with Prince from 1987 through 1991, as his personal guitar technician for concerts and recording, and occasionally as his photographer. This period included Sign O’ The Times, Lovesexy, the Batman soundtrack, and My Name is Prince.” Also includes a Prince ‘Partyman’ picture disc on which he is seen wearing one of these wristbands, as well as a letter of authenticity from 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 1990’s, and art directed numerous album covers for him, including ‘Diamonds & Pearls,’ ’Love Symbol,’ and ‘The Hits/The B-Sides.’ According to Bernstein, a number of these were made for Prince with a more substantial elastic wrist attachment than the one in the ‘Batdance’ video, so they could be worn during Prince’s energetic stage performances—this is one of those stage-worn examples.

Prince’s custom-made purple pants
4249. Prince’s Personally-Owned and -Worn Pair of Purple Pants.
Prince’s personally-owned and -worn purple grosgrain pants from circa 1982–1985. The pants are custom-made with a tiny 25˝ waist, 26.5˝ inseam, and overall length of 38˝. They are of a fine quality and intricately detailed, with even the concealed zipper pull painted purple (some now chipped off). These pants are identical in color and fabric to the jacket Prince wore during a photo session with legendary photographer Richard Avedon on December 22, 1982. They were obtained after being left behind by his bodyguard at a Minnesota dry cleaner, and are accompanied by a letter of provenance, in part: “In 1985 Charles Huntsberry dropped off several articles of clothing to be cleaned at One Hour Martinizing on 9th Avenue North in Hopkins, MN…The articles were never picked up; many attempts were made to contact Charles to no avail. Charles (Big Chick) Huntsberry did leave Prince’s employ sometime in 1985. This may be the reason the clothing was never claimed…One Hour Martinizing policy stated after one year, unclaimed clothing is to be donated or discarded. At this time my sister…was employed part time at the dry cleaners… Waiting the appropriate one year time period, the pants were given to me by my sister.” Also includes a copy of Rolling Stone’s Prince memorial issue featuring the photo of him in the matching jacket, and a letter of authenticity from 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 1990’s, and art directed numerous album covers for him, including ‘Diamonds & Pearls,’ ’Love Symbol,’ and ‘The Hits/The B-Sides.’ It is not known if Prince wore these pants in the Avedon photo shoot, as the photographer destroyed the negatives he didn’t deem worthy of use, and consequently, no record of whether Prince wore these pants with the matching jacket exists. An exceptional piece from Prince’s personal wardrobe. Starting Bid $1,000

Original 2Pac prison poem entitled ‘What [Eye] Believe’ 4287. Tupac Shakur ‘What I Believe’ Original Handwritten and Signed Poem. Unpublished
handwritten poem on an off-white 8 x 10.5 sheet of notebook paper, signed at the bottom in red ballpoint, “Tupac A. Shakur,” who adds a dedication and date to upper right, “(exclusively 4 Simi by 2Pac) 8/17/95.” The poem is entitled “What [drawing of an eye] Believe,” and was written by Shakur while he was incarcerated in New York’s Clinton Correctional Facility. In full: “Is it wrong of me 2 Approach u this way / and unload my passionate wishes / R u surprised? Flattered? Afraid? Offended? / Or maybe a little suspicious / I believe in wishes, sensuous kisses / and attraction at first sight / I believe in hugs, Falling in love / and making love on rainy nights / I have no fear of rejection upon reflection / some things Aren’t meant 2 be / What I couldn’t imagine is us not having the opportunity 2 c / Many men will bring u promises / some of them will lie / A few of them will make you laugh / Most of them will make cry / From your first love 2 your final love / There’s a true love in between / The love that becomes a part of u / Injected into your bloodstream / I am not a psycic [sic] or a prophet / and I don’t have a crystal ball / But I believe I am this love 4 u / The greatest of them all.” In fine condition, with three horizontal mailing folds. Written less than two months before his release from prison, this poem reflects a side of Shakur perhaps never before seen—an incredibly rare piece of original 2Pac lyricism. Exemplars of authentic Tupac handwriting are scarce and, as a result, our third-party authenticators are unable to render an opinion. However, based on our experience with Tupac items, and this item’s strong provenance, we fully support this piece. Starting Bid $500

2Pac’s personal 1996 Hummer H1, purchased a month before his death 4288. Tupac Shakur’s 1996 American Motors Hummer H1. Tupac Shakur’s personally-owned and -driven black 1996 American Motors Hummer H1. The fully loaded vehicle was customized by the late rapper and comes equipped with a 6.5 liter, turbo diesel V-8 engine with automatic transmission, with the odometer reading 10,101 miles. The hardtop body features 38˝ Dick Cepek offroad lights, a 360-degree spotlight, a grille guard, diamond-plate bumpers, GC Package oversized off-road wheels and tires, and an external PA system with three sirens; area over rear driver side fender bears white lettering, “Eliminator.” The interior is trimmed in burl wood with beige leather upholstery, and provides a 12-disc Clarion sound system, Sony GPS, a central tire inflation system, air conditioning, rear sliding glass window, privacy glass, full power options, and a 12,000-pound winch. The vehicle identification number reads: 137ZA8332TE170007. Included with the vehicle: a license plate, “YAKNPAK,” honoring Shakur and late rapper Yaki ‘Prince’ Kadafi; and promotional cassettes for Michael Jackson’s Thriller and 2Pac’s All Eyez on Me. In fine condition. Accompanied by two copies of the vehicle’s registration information, listing Shakur as the original owner of the vehicle, as well as a copy of the affidavit for transfer, stating that “Tupac A. Shakur, the owner of the above described vehicle or vessel died on September 13, 1996 in Las Vegas, Nevada,” and listing Afeni Shakur, the artist’s mother, as property successor. Research on the vehicle reveals that Shakur purchased the vehicle on August 16, 1996, a little less than a month before his untimely death, a revelation which comfortably attributes this Hummer H1 as the very last vehicle the rapper would purchase in his lifetime. Held in storage following Shakur’s tragic death, the Hummer was won in a 2003 raffle organized by BET in the ‘Picture Me Rollin’’ sweepstakes, and then later purchased back in 2007 by Havenotz Entertainment owners Sardar ‘Candyman 187’ Khan and Yaasmyn Fula, the latter being the mother of the aforementioned Kadafi, a ‘godbrother’ of Shakur who lost his own life just two months after that of his friend and fellow Outlawz rapper; the pair drove the Hummer often, cruising Los Angeles on late summer nights after time spent in the studio. Already a classic and coveted example of civilian off-road ingenuity, this modified vehicle is further elevated by its incredible musical affiliation and proximity to Shakur’s final days. An incredible piece of hip-hop history that evokes the invincible spirit of one of the rap game’s true lyrical giants. Bidding note: the vehicle is currently stored in Vancouver, Canada, and the buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. RR Auction will help facilitate the relocation of this vehicle.

Polaroid and letter from “2Pac” while detained at Clinton Correctional
4289. Tupac Shakur Handwritten Letter and Signed Candid Photo. Rare ALS signed “2Pac,” one
page, lightly lined, 8 x 10.5, no date but postmarked August 22, 1995. Letter to Simi Chouhan, written while incarcerated in the Clinton Correctional Facility in New York, in full: “Here R some photoz 2 keep my reflection in your Heart. I’m still waiting 4 more from U.” Shakur adds a smiley face and a brief postscript: “Waiting 2 Hear from u, Dieing 2 C U!” Includes one of the aforementioned photos: a color glossy 3.5 x 4.25 Polaroid of Shakur in a crouched full-length pose with his cousin “K–Dawgz,” their right hands in embrace and their left hands both flashing ‘West side’ hand signs. Shakur has annotated the white borders in various colored inks, and has signed his name twice: “2Pac” and “Thinkin’ of u, 2Pac.” In addition to identifying his “Lil” cousin, Shakur dates the photograph to “Aug 20,” writes his nickname “’Mr. Troublesome,’” and adds the name of his hip-hop group, “Outlaw Immortalz.” In overall fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Shakur’s hand, incorporating his full name, “Tupac Shakur,” in the return address area, and adding below in red ink: “Please Don’t Bend, Picture enclosed.” Shakur had begun serving a sentence at the Clinton Correctional Facility in February 1995 after being convicted in a sexual assault case. His album Me Against the World was released a month into his sentence and made an immediate impact on the charts, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. Tupac’s confinement proved an important period in his artistic development as he took the time to read philosophical works including many by Niccolo Machiavelli, which inspired his pseudonym ‘Makaveli.’ Handwritten material from Tupac is very scarce and highly sought after, with this letter, photo, and envelope combination—featuring a total of four signatures—being especially desirable due to the inclusion of two variations—”2Pac” and “Tupac Shakur”—and the mention of his post-release group, Outlawz. Exemplars of authentic Tupac handwriting are scarce and, as a result, our third-party authenticators are unable to render an opinion. However, based on our experience with Tupac items, and this item’s strong provenance, we fully support this piece. Starting Bid $500

Infamous umbrella from the night Britney struck back
4290. Britney Spears’ 2007 Green Umbrella. The dark green umbrella Britney Spears used to attack paparazzo Daniel
‘Dano’ Ramos’s Ford Explorer during her infamous meltdown on February 21, 2007. This moment was the public climax in a series of personal struggles involving Spears’s marriage, children, and potential substance abuse. Only days before, Spears had checked herself out of rehab and shaved her own head in what was described as a ‘blatantly self-destructive act’ in the press. After following her from estranged ex-husband Kevin Federline’s house to the parking lot outside of a Jiffy Lube on February 21st, photographers swarmed the pop star’s Mercedes and briefly stopped taking pictures at the request of Spears’s second cousin twice removed, Alli Sims, who was driving. However, the seething Britney exited the vehicle, grabbed this green umbrella from the back seat, and proceeded to smash Ramos’s car with it in rage. Part of the umbrella’s shaft is broken, as seen in the photos from that night. The incident immediately became front-page tabloid fodder, with the NY Daily News running the photos next day under the headline, ‘Britney’s Fury!’ Accompanied by three related publications—National Enquirer, Life & Style, and Rolling Stone—each featuring images of this event and by a letter of provenance from Ramos describing the incident, in part: “I was working on filming my documentary ‘Paparazzi: Full Throttle LA’…on the day Britney Spears attacked my SUV with a green umbrella…We caught up to the Pop Queen visiting her kids at Kevin’s home. She went to the gas station and I told her ‘we were concerned for her.’ We then went to Jiffy Lube and Britney’s cousin Ali Simms came out of the drivers seat and approached me and held my video camera down and told me ‘Guys please don’t, please…’ that’s when Britney Spears came out of the passenger side and grabbed the green umbrella from the backseat and came after all of us, then threw the umbrella down on the pavement.” Ramos recovered the umbrella and has kept it in his personal collection since that day. He plans to donate half of the proceeds to a charity of Spears’s choice. As Mitchell Sunderland of Vice’s Broadly points out, the ‘umbrella incident’ has become a pop culture milestone seen as a turning point in the career arc that made Britney Spears an unintentional feminist icon: with this umbrella, she was literally striking back at the media after years of often sexist public scrutiny. She soon got the help that she needed, and has since reemerged with best-selling albums and a wildly successful residency in Las Vegas. This umbrella is a powerful symbol of the controversial relationship between celebrities and the paparazzi, and of Britney’s road to recovery before her eventual comeback. Starting Bid $5,000

Gorgeous Monroe portrait inscribed to her business manager 4322. Marilyn Monroe Signed Photograph.

Monroe and Powolny most famously teamed up in 1953 for a series of stunning, artfully framed publicity stills for the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Additionally, the photo is likely inscribed to Inez Melson, Monroe’s DiMaggio-appointed business manager in the mid-1950s, the legal guardian to Gladys Baker Eley, Monroe’s schizophrenic mother, and, following Monroe’s death, administrator of her Los Angeles holdings. A stunning image augmented by the unique contrast of Monroe’s green signature against the soft glow of her bare shoulder. Pre-certified Beckett Authentication. Starting Bid $1,000

McQueen’s annotated script for The Thomas Crown Affair 4368. Steve McQueen’s Personally-Owned and Hand-Annotated ‘Thomas Crown Affair’ Script. Steve
McQueen’s personally-owned and -used annotated script for the 1968 classic The Thomas Crown Affair, 8.5 x 11, 109 numbered pages plus revisions, custom leatherbound by the California Bookbinding Co., gilt-stamped on the front, “Thomas Crown and Company, Steve McQueen.” An opening page in an unknown hand identifies the actors and final title, “The Thomas Crown Affair,” which also differs from the working title on the first page of the script, “The Crown Caper.” The script is annotated throughout, with at least 19 pages exhibiting McQueen’s own handwriting; his notes reveal his dedication to his craft and his working process during the production of a film. Some of the notes are for stage directions—for example, “Sandy looking at ball” and “Look at Sandy,” in a conversation during a golfing sequence, and “Look at watch” during a conversation between Crown, Vicky, and Erwin. A more substantial comment is written beside Crown’s dialogue as he departs a scene, “Should have something else…stage is set only for reaction—a little of the believability is lost.” In another instance, McQueen inquires, “How do I play this,” during a scene with Vicky. As the script approaches its conclusion, McQueen pens in the margin of a heavily annotated page, “There has to be a showdown and it has to be damned cleaver [sic].” In the following pages, he writes, “I think it could be more cleanly written and polished—refer back to showdown,” and discusses rewriting one of Vicky’s lines: “We talked of rewriting this, ‘No I’m not going to test you…’” At the very end, he pens, “I don’t think we should know whether he gets a way or not—and blond hair—maybe a mustache?” In fine condition, with pages evidently trimmed during the re-binding process, affecting some of the handwritten annotations. In one of the classic caper films of the 1960s, McQueen plays the sophisticated millionaire Thomas Crowne, who orchestrates the perfect crime for sport—a bank heist of over two million dollars. The film revolves around the hunt for the mastermind by a sultry insurance investigator, Vicky Anderson, played by Faye Dunaway. Though now remembered as a cult classic, critics agreed with McQueen’s instincts about the writing—Roger Ebert called it ‘possibly the most under-plotted, underwritten, over-photographed film of the year. Which is not to say it isn’t great to look at. It is.’ As the leading man’s personally-used, heavily-annotated script from a classic film, this is a truly remarkable piece of Hollywood history.

Supremely rare 1925 Dutch poster for Chaney’s Phantom Of The Opera 4369. Phantom of the Opera One-Sheet Poster. Extremely rare
color 25 x 41 Dutch poster for the 1925 Universal horror film The Phantom Of The Opera [Het Spook Van De Opera], starring Lon Chaney. Linen-backed and professionally restored to fine condition. Rolled. Chaney played the title role of the deformed Phantom in Universal’s silent adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel Le Fantome de l’Opera, wearing ghastly self-devised make-up that the studio kept secret until the film’s premiere. Perhaps that is why this poster, designed by Dutch artist Frans Bosen, features an image of the seemingly disembodied lantern-lit head of the Rat Catcher, as seen in a scene with Raoul and Ledoux, rather than Chaney’s iconic visage—the face of the Phantom was kept as a surprise to shock the audience. A magnificent rarity from a truly classic horror film. Starting Bid $200

The Kuflik Collection
The collection of brother-and-sister autograph hunters Harvey and Rhoda Kuflik represents an impressive ninetyfour combined years of collecting. Born in Brooklyn in 1938, Rhoda began roaming the streets of New York as a teenager with her Brownie camera in hand, capturing candid stills of celebrities to have signed upon revisiting later on. Harvey, four years younger, started accompanying her on these treks and began to assemble a formidable autograph collection of his own. Once older, they split up—Rhoda remained in Brooklyn while Harvey moved to Los Angeles—but resumed their quest each year during Oscar week, when Rhoda visited her brother to seek out celebrities in the streets of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and star-studded Oscar parties. The collection has remained intact since being lovingly assembled by the duo.

In fine condition, with a very light stain to the upper left corner. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Jeff Gold, owner of Recordmecca and former vice president of creative services at A&M Records, in part: “A Very Special Christmas was the brainchild of record producer (and now head of Apple Music) Jimmy Iovine, conceived as a memorial for his father, and to raise funds for the Special Olympics. The first album, released in 1987 featured artists including Bruce Springsteen, Sting, U2, Madonna and Run-DMC performing Christmas songs. In the years since, nine more albums have been released in the series, overall raising over $100 million for the Special Olympics. Keith Haring created the iconic artwork used on every album in the series. While vice president of creative services at A&M Records, I was co-art director for the project. Working with Haring’s office, I commissioned these silkscreen prints, which were given to the project’s participants and used as promotional giveaways. Approximately 300 were made, with Haring signing 100 (this is one of the unsigned examples, but still very rare).” A scarce and highly desirable print from a legendary artist. Starting Bid $200

It compiles reproductions of ephemera and objects in a variety of media, including unusual materials such as a burnt bowtie by Lil Picard, pill capsules by Julian Levy, audio on a small record by Marcel Duchamp, a print by Man Ray, and a wide variety of other items. The SMS portfolios eschew traditional boundaries and were the product of a utopian artistic vision. They are an historical and artistic time capsule that aptly capture the many art movements that collided as the 1960s came to a close.Starting Bid $200

Unique ‘Cow’ silk screened cereal box by Andy Warhol
4545. Andy Warhol Signed ‘Cow’ Screenprint on Kellogg’s Cereal Box. Original one-off ‘Cow’ screen print by Warhol on an unfolded cereal box for Kellogg’s 40% Bran Flakes, 13 x 19.5, signed and inscribed on the reverse in black felt tip, “To Yelitza, Andy Warhol.” Also bears an “Andy Warhol” stamp near the bottom of the reverse. Box is marked with a “Better If Used Before” date of January 23, 1979. In fine condition, with expected wear to the edges. The recipient of this piece was Yelitza Karolyi, who was a New York City model in the 1970s and 80s. She befriended artists such as Warhol and photographers such as Peter Beard, and today is a fine artist herself.
The inspiration for Warhol’s ‘Cow Series’ came from art dealer Ivan Karp, who once ironically suggested to him: ‘Why don’t you paint some cows, they’re so wonderfully pastoral and such a durable image in the history of the arts.’ In 1966, Warhol denounced painting as ‘dead’ and committed himself to printmaking as an art form. His printer, Gerard Malanga, chose this particular image to use. The ‘Cow Series,’ which Warhol published between 1966 and 1976, featured four variations: ‘Pink Cow on Yellow Background,’ ‘Brown Cow on Blue Background,’ ‘Yellow Cow on Blue Background,’ and ‘Pink Cow on Purple Background.’ This unique piece—which could be called ‘Black Cow on Cereal Box’—combines the iconic cow image with Warhol’s interest in mass-produced consumer product packaging, made most famous by his Campbell’s Soup works. Warhol had also previously experimented with Kellogg’s boxes, creating a series of Corn Flakes boxes for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1971. An interesting and unique piece by the innovative Pop artist. Pre-certified Beckett Authentication. Starting Bid $1,000

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”). The following terms and conditions (“Conditions of Sale”) constitute the sole terms and conditions under which RR Auction will offer for sale and sell the property described in the catalog of items for auction (the “Catalog”). These Conditions of Sale constitute a binding agreement between the Parties with respect to the auction in which Bidder participates (the “Auction”). By bidding at the Auction, whether in person, through an agent or representative, by telephone, facsimile, online, absentee bid, or by any other form of bid or by any other means, Bidder acknowledges the thorough reading and understanding of all of these Conditions of Sale, all descriptions of items in the Catalog, and all matters incorporated herein by reference, and agrees to be fully bound thereby. This acknowledgement is a material term of these Conditions of Sale and of the consideration under which RR Auction agrees to these terms. RR Auction and Auction: This Auction is presented by RR Auction, a d/b/a/ of R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC, as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the Catalog or on the www.RRauction.com Internet site (“RRauction.com”). The Auction is conducted under these Conditions of Sale. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog. 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’s written consent containing an acknowledgment of the Conditions of Sale herein and indicating their agreement to be bound thereby on behalf of the Bidder. All Bidders must meet RR Auction’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of RR Auction may be disqualified at RR Auction’s sole option and will not be
awarded lots. Such determination may be made by RR Auction in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. RR Auction reserves the right to exclude any person from the Auction. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid. By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. Credit: In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with RR Auction must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply additional information if requested, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders who are not members of RRAuction.com should pre-register before the close of the Auction to allow adequate time to contact references. Credit will be granted at the discretion of RR Auction. Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social security number, or the last four digits thereof, so a credit check may be performed prior to RR Auction’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may 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. Buyer’s Premium: The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 22.5% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed Auctions (the “Buyer’s Timed Premium”), and a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on live Auctions (the “Buyer’s Live Premium,” together with the Buyer’s Timed Premium, the “Buyer’s Premium”). For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later. All purchases delivered to Massachusetts are subject to applicable Massachusetts sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number. Bidding: Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s), rather than the strict reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF VALUATION CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES. 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.
All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing. RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder. Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Consignor, or assignee of Consignor, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by Bidder. RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder. It is the Bidder’s responsibility and obligation to have the lots fully insured while in their possession. Bidder assumes any and all RISK OF LOSS once the lot(s) is in Bidder’s possession. Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction a purchase money security interest in such sums or items to the extent applicable, and agrees to execute such documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest. Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued expenses, until the indebtedness is paid. By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. The authorized representative of any corporate Bidder who is present at the sale shall provide RR Auction or its agent, prior to the commencement of the bidding (or at the time of registration), with a statement signed by a principal, director or officer that they he or she personally and unconditionally guarantees any payment due RR Auction. RR Auction may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors and/or prospective Bidders. In the event of a successful challenge to the title to any goods purchased pursuant to these Conditions of Sale and the exclusive remedies provided herein, RR Auction agrees to reimburse any Bidder in an amount equal to the successful bid price actually paid by Bidder at auction plus any Buyer’s Premium actually paid, in full and complete satisfaction of all claims, which once tendered by RR Auction, relieves and releases RR Auction from any responsibility whatsoever to the Bidder, even if the instrument is not cashed or is returned. Bidding Options: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to in-person, facsimile, phone and mail bids) are treated similarly to floor bids in that they must be on-increment. Any in-person, facsimile, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full increment and this revised amount will be considered Bidder’s high bid. When identical mail or facsimile bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at RR Auction’s place of business at least twenty-four (24) hours before the Auction start. RR
Auction is not responsible for executing mail bids or facsimile bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is RR Auction responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins. In all Auctions, bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10%, or as specified on a per-Auction basis. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted. In a live sale, bids on an item can change at the discretion of RR Auction. 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. Payment: Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. 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 thirty (30) 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. 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. All sales 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. 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. 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. If RR Auction refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys. RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder to secure payment of the Auction invoice. RR Auction is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the Bidder then held by RR Auction or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due RR Auction or affiliates from the Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, RR Auction shall have all the rights of a secured creditor, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the Bidder waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against RR Auction and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice (the “Consignor”). If a Bidder owes RR Auction or its affiliates on any account, RR Auction and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in their possession. All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges: Bidder is liable for shipping and handling. 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. Title: Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices 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.
Rights Reserved: RR Auction reserves the right to withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction, 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 or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone. Conducting the Auction: RR Auction reserves the right to postpone the Auction or any session thereof for a reasonable period of time for any reason whatsoever, and no Bidder or prospective Bidder shall have any claim as a result thereof, including consequential damages. RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments. RR Auction has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auction has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful Bidder in the event of a dispute between Bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auction’s record of final sale shall be conclusive. RR Auction also may reject any bid if RR Auction decides either that any bid is below the reserve of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced by RR Auction at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale. Reserves: Lots may be subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. Consignors may not bid on their own lots or property. RR Auction may, from time to time, bid on items that it does not own. Off-Site Bidding: Bidding by telephone, facsimile, online, or absentee bidding (advance written bids submitted by mail) are offered solely as a convenience and permitted subject to advance arrangements, availability, and RR Auction’s approval which shall be exercised at RR Auction’s sole discretion. Neither RR Auction nor its agents or employees shall be held liable for the failure to execute bids or for errors relating to any transmission or execution thereof. In order to be considered for off-site bidding in any manner, Bidders must comply with all of these Conditions of Sale and the terms contained on the Registration Form. RR Auction’s Remedies: Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of default. In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the
property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any property in RR Auction’s possession owned by such Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Warranties: RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold “as is” and “where is”. By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title. All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Terminology), authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in the Catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a good faith effort made by RR Auction to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein; they are statements of opinion only. They are not representations or warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the Auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices. Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each lot prior to bidding, and RR Auction urges Bidders to avail themselves accordingly.
All lots sold by RR Auction are accompanied by an Auction Certificate (“AC”). On any lot presented with an AC issued by RR Auction, the certification is only as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage and only as explicitly stated therein (the “Certification of Authenticity”), to the exclusion of any other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to those pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The Certification of Authenticity inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the Certification of Authenticity, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. The Certification of Authenticity is valid from date of the Auction in which Bidder was awarded the lot (the “Auction Date”) until five (5) years after the Auction Date, without exception. FIREARMS. RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm. Limitation of Damages: In the event that RR Auction is prevented for any reason from delivering any property to Bidder, or Bidder is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of RR Auction, the liability, if any, of RR Auction, shall be limited to, and shall not exceed, the amount actually paid for the property by Bidder. In no event shall RR Auction be liable for incidental, special, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of profits, value of investment or opportunity cost. Unauthorized Statements: Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR Auction authorized by RR Auction to modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on a registration form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied upon by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction. Bidder’s Remedies: Under no circumstance will RR Auction incur liability to a Bidder in excess of the purchase price actually paid. This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder in conformity with the Warranties and Limitation of Damages provisions of these Conditions of Sale, and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available
to Bidder by law. The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, in the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction shall make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other amounts paid or due to RR Auction). Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand, RR Auction shall disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and assign to Bidder all of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and assignment, all responsibility and liability, if any, of RR Auction with respect to said lot or property shall automatically terminate. RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction - this remedy is as to the Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances. If Bidder wishes to challenge the AC within the period of the Certification of Authenticity, Bidder must present written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field. If RR Auction agrees that the lot is not as represented, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be a refund of their purchase price, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable. If RR Auction does not agree with the claim by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale. Any such challenge concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Bidder’s notice to RR Auction of Bidder’s contention that the lot was not authentic, or six (6) years from the Auction Date, whichever is sooner. If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), the lot is returnable if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and the AC, then the description in the AC shall control. This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received by RR Auction. NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE. RR Auction’s Additional Services: For Bidders who do not remove purchased property from RR Auction’s premises, RR Auction, in its sole discretion and solely as a service and accommodation to Bidders, may arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded at the sole request, expense, and risk of Bidder. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for damage to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice, RR Auction will include an administration charge.
Headings: Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret the substantive sections to which they refer. Entire Agreement: These Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement between the parties together with the terms and conditions contained in the Registration Form. They may not be amended, modified or superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties. No oral or written statement by anyone employed by RR Auction or acting as agent or representative of RR Auction may amend, modify, waive or supersede the terms herein unless such amendment, waiver or modification is contained in a writing signed by all parties. If any section of these Conditions of Sale or any term or provision of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining sections or terms and provisions of a section shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way. Governing Law and Enforcement The Parties agree that any agreements between the Parties including but not limited to these Conditions of Sale are entered into in Boston, Massachusetts, no matter where Bidder is situated and no matter by what means or where Bidder was informed of the Auction and regardless of whether catalogs, materials, or other communications were received by Bidder in another location. The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, and any other related agreement(s) are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles. The Parties agree that any dispute related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale, or related to or arising out of any other related agreement(s) shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before a single Arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The Parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the AAA. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. The Parties agree that Bidder shall have no right to recover consequential or indirect damages, or lost profits damages. The Parties consent to the enforcement of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in either the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Except as provided in Bidder’s Remedies with regard to the Certification of Authenticity, any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other agreement(s) between the Parties must be brought within one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances giving rise to the alleged claim, without exceptions. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute release of any claims after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding on all parties in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-ac-
tions brought by either RR Auction or Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale.
in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the under Bidder’s bid.
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.
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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration related to or arising out of any Auction of an item sold for less than $10,000. This right shall relate to the individual item price, such that RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration for items that in the aggregate exceed $10,000. The prevailing Party in such a proceeding shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the proceeding, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. This right of enforcement is unique to RR Auction, and these Conditions of Sale are a waiver by the Bidder of any right to enforcement or adjudication outside of an Arbitration.
CONDUCT OF AUCTION Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 732-4280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading). Owned or Guaranteed Property: RR Auction generally offers property consigned by others for sale at public auction; in very limited occasion, lots are offered that are the property of RR Auction. Before the Auction: Bidder may attend pre-sale viewing for all of RR Auction’s auctions at no charge. All property to be auctioned is usually on view for several days prior to the sale. Bidder is encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. Bidder may also request condition reports (see below). RR Auction’s staff are available at viewings and by appointment. Maximum Bids – All Auctions: To maximize Bidder’s chance of winning, RR Auction strongly encourages the use of maximum bids. RR Auction will then bid for Bidder until the lot reaches Bidder’s specified maximum. Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, nonincremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result
Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. RR Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers. Bidding—Timed Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm EST/EDT, that lot is awarded to Bidder. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm EST/EDT will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm EST/EDT or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm EST/EDT, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm EST/EDT, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot (the “30 Minute Rule”). The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the Auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm EST/EDT. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm EST/ EDT. If Bidder is the high Bidder, raising Bidder’s maximum bid
will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the Auction at any time at its sole discretion. Bidding - Internet – Live Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.
phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available. Rules of Construction: RR Auction presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions. Nothing herein shall be construed to waive the general Conditions of Sale by these additional rules and shall be construed to give force and effect to the rules in their entirety.
To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. Property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. During live Auctions, internet bids can be placed in real time through one or more of the following Third Party services: www. liveauctioneers.com, www.invaluable.com and www.icollector. com. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. RR Auction treats any third-party site bids as floor or telephone bids. Floor bids and telephone bids are always considered first over third party sites bids, and floor bids are considered earlier than telephone bids. All RR Auction lots purchased through the third party sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium. Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a non-sale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement. Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with “do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the
GLOSSARY OF CONDITION TERMS FOR DECADES, RR AUCTION HAS LED THE INDUSTRY IN PROVIDING AN ACCURATE AND DETAILED CONDITION STATEMENT FOR EACH ITEM THAT WE SELL. STARTING IN 2016 WE’VE DECIDED TO TAKE A FRESH APPROACH TO DESCRIBING EACH ITEM’S CONDITION. As our website and catalog images continually improve, and bidders can see obvious details from those excellent images, we’ve decided to simplify things, using the same terminology to describe an item’s overall condition (on an ascending scale of 1 to 4: good, very good, fine, very fine), but only adding specific details, if any, that would not be obvious from the illustration. VERY FINE describes an item 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 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 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 with 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 exceedingly rare or important. Of course we’re more than happy to provide more in-depth information about any item via phone or email. We hope this new system will make for easier reading and a more pleasant bidding experience.
