Historic and rare Hendrix-signed document related to his PPX contract breach 9013. Jimi Hendrix 1969 Document Signed. DDS, one page,
8.5 x 11, November 19, 1969. Official letter directed to the Yameta Company, in part: “You are named as the fifth defendant in the action now pending in the High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division, and assert that I am liable for your legal expenses in defending the suit... With respect to the outstanding bill rendered by Clintons to Yameta for $5,000., arrangements are being made to pay the same.” Signed at the conclusion in black ink by Hendrix. In fine condition, with trivial corner creasing, a tiny piece of old tape to the left edge, and a light block of toning from prior display. In October 1965, Hendrix was introduced to Curtis Knight’s manager, Ed Chalpin, and his management company PPX. Soon thereafter Knight and the Squires recorded for PPX, and Chalpin, amazed by the young guitarist’s talents, convinced Hendrix to sign an exclusive three-year deal with PPX—purportedly for a total sum of one dollar. As Hendrix’s popularity began to surge in the middle of 1966, the guitarist errantly signed an additional management contract with Chas Chandler of Yameta in England. Eager to bank on the success of Hendrix’s debut album, Are You Experienced, as well as his iconic performance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, Chalpin sued Hendrix and Yameta, in both London and New York, for breach of contract. Chalpin and PPX were awarded a payout of $1,000,000 and a share of future royalties.
Ultimately, Hendrix agreed to release a live album to satisfy the terms of the lawsuit. He formed the Band of Gypsys with Buddy Miles and Billy Cox, and they performed their only full concerts at the Fillmore East on December 31, 1969, and January 1, 1970, which were recorded and released as the self-titled Band of Gypsys album. This was the last album Hendrix released before his untimely death, and additional recordings of these shows were released on the posthumous album Live at the Fillmore East. A significant document relating to a business decision that would affect Hendrix over the entirety of his brief yet brilliant career, which culminated in these infamous and legendary Fillmore East concerts. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $1000

B. King, Richie Havens, Jethro Tull, and many others. In very good to fine condition, with a light stain to the bottom edge, some creasing along the top edge, and a missing upper left corner tip. The second and final Atlanta Pop Festival, held during the 4th of July weekend, much like Woodstock in 1969, was eventually turned into a free event when fans tore down the plywood fences, resulting in a crowd estimated anywhere from 350,000 to 550,000. The Allman Brothers, who were barred from playing the previous year due to a crooked booking agent, were headliners this time around. Grand Funk Railroad, who played the previous year’s event as an unsigned band, were a sensation; their performance subsequently released as a million-selling live album. Jimi Hendrix reprised his ‘Star Spangled Banner’ during midnight fireworks on July 4th. Starting Bid $200

I was a twenty year old mod and when I saw the man with Chas I thought, ‘Here we go again.’ Working with wanna be rock stars was a current situation and standing before me was a complete hippy with the rock and roll dress style and my immediate thought was ‘another prat who’s playing the rock star game’…I put the tape on that I was soon to master, possibly one of ten people who so far had heard the track and suddenly I hear the intro.
When the vocals kicked in I turned to the man [who] I knew was a real rock star and said ‘Is this you?’ He said it was and asked if I liked it. How could I not like this track?…We did a bit of banter while the record was mastered and I never knew that this ‘hippy’ would go on to world domination. Chas and Jimi left with a couple acetates to listen to and the rest is history.” Starting Bid $500

From the Greenwich Village apartment of Jimi Hendrix—a bronze Chinese Buddha dating to the Ming Dynasty 9017. Jimi Hendrix’s Ming Dynasty Chinese Buddha. Chinese bronze
Buddha from the Ming Dynasty, personally owned and displayed by Jimi Hendrix in his New York apartment on West 12th Street in 1969 and 1970. Identified as a Chinese bronze figure of Budai from the later Ming period (1368-1644), the antique statuette measures approximately 8.75˝ x 7˝ x 5.5˝ and weighs 5.75 lbs. The Buddha was acquired directly from Stella Benabou Douglas, one of Hendrix’s closest friends during the last years of his life. The former wife of record producer and Hendrix archivist Alan Douglas, she appeared in the 1973 documentary A Film About Jimi Hendrix. In fine condition, with a vertical crack to back side, presumably done during original casting process. Accompaniments include:A DVD containing a 15-minute video interview with Stella Benabou Douglas, about her close relationship with Jimi Hendrix and the history of his bronze Buddha; a signed letter of provenance from Alan Douglas, dated March 10, 1997, in part: “This letter is to certify that a Bronze Buddha…I personally purchased for Jimi Hendrix for his 27th birthday…[was] kept in his New York apartment until the time of his death”; and a lengthy letter of authenticity from Jeff Gold of Recordmecca, in part: “When [Stella] first met Hendrix, he was living in a basement room in the apartment of his manager…and Stella told him he needed his own apartment. A few days later she found one for him, on West 12th Street, and soon after began to decorate it for him…She was out with Jimi and her then husband Alan when Jimi saw the Buddha in a shop. ‘Jimi picked it up and caressed his stomach.’ It was nearing Hendrix’s birthday, and Alan bought it for him as a birthday gift. ‘It was such a big thing for Jimi; I don’t think he ever had something old and precious like this. He became very attached to it.’ ‘One time he asked me why Buddha’s have such a big stomach. I told him it was because they have the whole universe in it. He used to tell other people that…He showed it to people and explained the big stomach story to people, which for him was a bit of a mystery. Of course he wasn’t a Buddhist in any way. He was absolutely colorblind, religion blind, never got involved in politics in any way, contrary to what some people have said.’ Douglas was with Hendrix at a party in London on the night he died. She describes how, upon her return to New York, Hendrix manager Michael Jeffery asked her and Alan Douglas to accompany him to open Jimi’s apartment for the first time. ‘Of course it was emotional. We saw all those things. My emotions were that I had gotten all these things and decorated the place.’ Stella describes how Jeffery said to Alan ‘Why don’t you take the Buddha’—as Alan had given it to Jimi.” Alan did indeed take the Buddha, which he then, after a time, gave to his wife, Stella, who kept the statuette in safe keeping for over 45 years. An astounding, museum-quality artifact once owned and treasured by one of rock history’s most ephemeral and influential stars. Starting Bid $1000

The Who rock BBC TV in the early 1970s 9035. The Who Signed BBC 1973 Photograph. Brilliant
vintage glossy 10 x 8 outtake photo of The Who by famed British photographer Harry Goodwin, showing the band in 1971 posing together in a dressing room, signed in black felt tip by Keith Moon, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, and John Entwistle. Reverse bears a “H. Goodwin” photography stamp. In fine to very fine condition. This incredible photo is an outtake from Goodwin’s photo session with The Who in their dressing room at the BBC Television Studios on December 30, 1971. The band were there to film and record ‘I Don’t Even Know Myself’ and ‘Naked Eye’ for the TV special ‘Into 71.’ Goodwin was the resident photographer for the BBC Television programme ‘Top of the Pops’ since its inception in 1964 until 1973, and several of his prints are in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London. Accompanied by an article about the original recipient of the signed photograph, Alex Brown, a piano tuner for the BBC for over 40 years, who has tuned for musicians such as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Liberace, Jools Holland, Duke Ellington, and Paul McCartney; among his career highlights, Brown tuned the piano for Elton John at Princess Diana’s funeral. Included is a letter of provenance from Brown, who notes that he “first met The Who at the BBC studios on (sic) December 1971, when the photograph was actually taken by Harry Goodwin.” He then got the band to sign the photograph in 1973, when they recorded some music tracks at the BBC Television Centre. Fully signed photos of The Who from the 1970s are extraordinarily rare, with this example certainly one of the nicest that we have ever seen or offered. Starting Bid $300

Drum brushes used by Keith Moon on his snare 9038. The Who: Keith Moon’s Drum Brushes. Incredible pair of drum brushes personally-owned and -used by Keith Moon, the legendary drummer for The Who, both measuring 13.5˝ in length.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, renowned producer and promoter Alan Goldsmith: “These drum snare sticks were given to me by Keith Moon of the Who after they played a concert for me on March 25th 1965 at Watford.” Goldsmith appears to misremember the date of the concert, which occurred some 54 years ago; The Who played Trade Union Hall in Watford on March 21, 1965, a mere three months into a hectic calendar of touring that witnessed the band play an approximate total of 263 shows. The opportunity to own sticks, brushes, or any piece of a drum set played by Keith Moon, is a rare and special occurrence not to be missed. Starting Bid $300

Yasgur Farms Dairy check, 8.25 x 3, filled out and signed by Yasgur, “Max B. Yasgur,” payable to Robert Huter for $203, September 11, 1969. In 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 the property of Howard Mills. 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.” Starting Bid $200

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” 9049. 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.

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

The bouncer then came back across the stage over to us and said Led Zeppelin had invited us backstage to meet…I remember Robert Plant seemed to take a fancy to me (I was 17 years old at the time) and we ‘snogged’ and he chatted for a while. He said he’d like to take me home—I didn’t know if he was serious or not but I had a boyfriend…so I just laughed it off. However he signed my LP cover and kindly passed it to the rest of the band.” This remarkable album is perhaps the most pristine fully signed example we’ve ever offered, and made rarer still by the generational attitude, a period in which autographseeking had grown passe within musical and counterculture fandom.

Prince Prince’s gift of ‘Diamonds and Pearls’ 9131. Prince ‘Diamond and Pearls’ Personally-Owned and Stage-Worn Necklace. Prince’s personally-owned
and stage -worn jewelry necklace worn during the 1984–1985 Purple Rain Tour, measuring 37˝ long unclasped, featuring groups of faux pearls separated by thin rings of ‘diamonds,’ with occasional larger clear spherical ‘disco ball’ beads. The clasp is in the form of a “YSL” [Yves Saint Laurent] logo, presumed to be a replica. In fine condition. From the collection of singer-songwriter Susannah Melvoin, an extended member of the Revolution during the Parade era, who shared a longterm working musical relationship with and was engaged to Prince during the 80s. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Susannah Melvoin. Among the accessories on his backstage dressing room, Prince later presented this dazzling necklace to Melvoin to wear as part of her performance outfit.

The matrix etching for the B-side is correct for The Last in Line, reading “W1-25100B-1B G.” In very good to fine condition, with light scuffing and edge wear to album jacket, a small area of loss to the spine, splits to inner sleeve, and some scuffing to the vinyl (heavier to the B-side). Both published under the Warner Bros. record label, Purple Rain was released on June 25, 1984, and The Last in Line was released a week later on July 2nd: they were apparently being pressed in the same facility during the same timeframe, facilitating this rare error.

Accompanied by a lengthy provenance letter from the original recipient, which reads, in part: “A girlfriend and I were at the Columbus Municipal Auditorium in Georgia on December 17th, 1981 to see Prince during the ‘Controversy’ tour and were issued special entrance tickets from the promoter Steven Myers (which explains the marketing ticket with his name on it). After the concert, we went to stakeout The Sheraton hotel where entertainers normally stay. We were sitting in the Krystal…and these two men with Commodores jackets came and sat down behind my friend. They overheard us talking about how we hoped to meet Prince. They introduced themselves and said they’d set up his equipment and they could get us in to meet him. My friend was doubtful, but we went across the street to the hotel lobby while the two guys went through a set of double-doors. They came back out and said Prince, his band, and Teena Marie…would be willing to meet us….Sure enough, the two men took me to this half-moon shaped table and there sat Prince, his bandmates, and Teena Marie (who was not so nice)…We sat and talked for about 30 mins and Prince said they were not going to actually be staying at that hotel and gave us the name of the hotel where they had reservations. He asked if we knew where it was and if so, could they follow us there. We said ‘sure!’ Prince asked if there was a Dunkin Donuts nearby and we told him there was one…on the way to the hotel…They followed us to the Holiday Inn on Victory Road and when we walked in to the room I saw a leopard print thong. I went to stick it in my skirt and Prince said ‘Please don’t take those—I will make sure you get something to remember me by.’ We sat on the beds and had donuts, played charades, and watched an old black and white zombie movie on TV. Before we left, Prince and the band members signed my ticket.” Starting Bid $200

8.5 x 11 Citadel narrow-ruled notebook with 11 pages containing Prince’s handwriting (ranging from a couple words to complete pages, all single-sided), signed on the front cover in ballpoint using a playful pseudonym, “Percy Bagonia, Chicago, Poland.” The first page is a handwritten draft by Prince of lyrics for the apparently unreleased “All I Want (Just a Little Love),” beginning: “I don’t need no money / All it does is make you want more / I’d only go to some big city / And blow it all on some cheap whore! / Right now, I’m feelin’ kinda horny / Sugar, if you would… / I really want you to make love to me / I just bet you’re so good.” Other handwritten lyrics by Prince inside the notebook include: a full page of lyrics for an unreleased song, “Just One Night With You,” humorously credited, “by Harriet Tubman”; a page of lyrics for “I Feel for You,” which first appeared on his 1979 self-titled album, here credited, “by Percy Bagonia” (the best-known version of this song was recorded by Chaka Khan in 1984, for which Prince, as a songwriter, won the 1985 Grammy Award for Best R&B Song); and a full page of lyrics for an untitled song with the theme of “Am I wrong for loving you,” complete with an elaborate sketch at the bottom and tiny drawings in the margins.
Other noteworthy pages include an incredible pencil sketch by Prince, showing a very unusual guitar–human mashup; a handwritten aphorism by Prince, “Words to fun by: ‘To tap or not to tap / That is the question / Whether ‘tis funkier on the three / than the one is to suffer the / slings and arrows of unsyncopated misfortune.’ Willyum Shakespere,” below, he writes out several of his pseudonyms: “Percy Bagonia,” “Dexter Cunningbowl,” “Alfred Horkelsby,” and “Seymou”; a page headed “Prince” with points on contracts (“If there are in fact two hit singles within the album, an additional $10,000 upon completion of the album will be paid,” and so on), signed at the bottom, “Thank you, Prince”; and a set list in pencil, most of the songs coming from his second studio album, released in 1979: “Let’s Rock, I Wanna Be Your Lover, Bambi, Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad, When We’re Dancing Close and Slow, With You, Still Waiting, It’s Gonna Be Lonely, Sexy Dancer, Darling Marie.” On the back cover, Prince signs his name in ballpoint, “Prince,” and also writes “Patrice” and “Last Waltz.” The notebook also includes several sketches in another hand in red ink, and a break-up note to Prince signed “Nadia” (“Sometimes goodbye does mean forever. I know all along our relationship has been soft & wet…but there have just been too many rumors”). In very good to fine condition, with expected handling wear, and dampstaining to the right edge of each page. Notebook originates from a girlfriend of Prince (who is different from Nadia, the girlfriend who left a breakup note to Prince in the notebook). Starting Bid $5000

Popular music has undergone numerous transformations across the decades: the introduction of rock and roll to the youth of the 1950s influenced the festival culture of the 1960s; the arena rockers of the 1970s gave way to solo pop superstars in the 1980s; and the nascent grunge scene of the 1990s countered their glamorous predecessors. Each era has helped to define popular culture in America and around the world.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from original recipient, stating that she witnessed the signing of these autographs. The autumn of 1967 was a defining period for The Doors. On September 17th, their memorable performance of ‘Light My Fire’ on The Ed Sullivan Show, highlighted by Jim Morrison’s defiant singing of the word ‘higher,’ much to the chagrin of network executives, further propelled the band’s notoriety and record sales. A week after the Sullivan Show, The Doors released their second full-length record in Strange Days, an album that landed in the No. 3 spot in the Billboard charts a mere month after the quartet’s self-titled debut had reached No. 2.

Elusive backstage pass for the Monterey Pop Festival, belonging to a Rolling Stone co-founder 9193. Monterey Pop Festival Backstage Pass. Extremely rare original
3 x 2 backstage pass for the Monterey International Pop Music Festival held at the Monterey County Fairgrounds between June 16–18, 1967, with red ticket text reading, “Guest, Admission to: Hunt Club/Gate,” and typed caption issuing the pass to “Ralph Gleason, 154.” In fine condition. Backstage passes for the Monterey Pop Festival are virtually unobtainable, with this example representing only the third to have appeared on the market.
A seminal festival that kicked off the 1967 ‘Summer of Love,’ the Monterey Pop Festival is remembered for the first major American appearances by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Who, and Ravi Shankar, the first largescale public performance of Janis Joplin, and the introduction of Otis Redding to a white audience. Although the Beatles did not appear (despite rumors), they were supporters of the festival and recommended that the organizers include The Who and Jimi Hendrix Experience in the lineup. Hendrix would famously close out his set by lighting his guitar on fire, which is widely believed to be his method of upstaging The Who; the two acts, well aware of each other’s intimidating and crowd-stealing stage shows from their time in England together, flipped a coin to determine who would play first, with The Who ultimately losing the gamble. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Jeff Gold of Recordmecca, which reads, in part: “This pass came from the archive of the late Ralph J. Gleason, co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine, and arguably the most influential music critic ever. Gleason joined the San Francisco Chronicle in the 1950’s, as the first full time music critic at a daily newspaper, and was instrumental in lending important early support to artists as varied as John Coltrane, Hank Williams, and Bob Dylan. Gleason also played a critical role in putting together the Monterey Pop Festival…There were at least three different kinds of backstage passes for Monterey Pop; Guest Passes such as this one, and passes for Artists and the Press.” Starting Bid $200

a-kind handwritten “Lynyrd Skynyrd All Time Top Ten” list by Ronnie Van Zant, written in bold pencil on an off-white 8.5 x 14 sheet of Lynyrd Skynyrd stationery during an interview with acclaimed rock journalist Michael Gray on November 15, 1974. Van Zant adds the header, signs below, “Ronnie Van-Zant,” and then runs down a list of his 10 favorite songs, which reads as follows:
“1. Dock of the Bay—Otis Redding / 2. Satisfaction—Rolling Stones / 3. Yesterday—The Beatles / 4. What’d I Say—Ray Charles / 5. If We Make It Through December—Merle Haggard / 6. Can’t Explain—The Who / 7. Big Boss Man—Jimmy Reed / 8. Respect—Aretha Franklin / 9. Will the Circle Be Unbroken—Traditional / 10.

The[y] represent the ten most influential songs in my music career. RVZ.” This ‘top ten’ list, as well as Van Zant’s handwritten comments, were later published in the February 1975 issue of Let It Rock magazine.

Accompanied by the original February 1975 issue of Let It Rock magazine, as well as a program from Lynyrd Skynyrd’s 1974 European Tour. In November 1974, Lynyrd Skynyrd arrived in Scotland for their first European tour, supporting Dutch rockers Golden Earring. A UK-based music magazine, ‘Let it Rock,’ wanted to write a feature about the band and dispatched Gray to report on their first two concert dates—Glasgow and Edinburgh. As part of his article, Gray asked each band member to write down their ‘top ten’ songs, hoping to gather a sense of the music and artists that influenced them and informed their musical style. Gray assembled lists from all seven members of Lynyrd Skynyrd on November 15, 1974, prior to the band’s show at Edinburgh’s Odeon Theatre as part of their Nuthin’ Fancy Tour. Van Zant remains rare and highly sought-after across all signed formats, with this handwritten ‘top ten’ list far and away the most substantial and significant example of Van Zant’s handwriting that we have offered for auction. A remarkable rock and roll keepsake detailing the songs that shaped the short musical career of a rock legend. Starting Bid $1000

Master tapes for Pink Floyd’s seminal The Dark Side of the Moon, discovered from the archives of Electric Lady Studios 9210. Pink Floyd ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ Master Reel Tapes.
AAstounding pair of duplicate analog reel-to-reel 2-track and multi-track Dolby encoded master tapes for Pink Floyd’s seminal eighth studio album, The Dark Side of the Moon. The album is contained on 10.5˝ tape reels repacked in their original 11 x 11 Ampex boxes with affixed labels from Electric Lady Studios, a recording studio in Greenwich Village, New York City, built by Jimi Hendrix and used by numerous notable artists. This studio was purchased from the Hendrix estate in the late 1970s, and these tapes were discovered among the archives during a studio cleanout in 2006. The labels to each box are annotated in black ballpoint with their corresponding track list. The first 2-track box is identified as ‘Reel 1,’ dated “7-31-74,” and reads: “Pink Floyd, ‘Dark Side of the Moon,’ Tones—1K–10K–40hz–Dolby, TL, Side 1, Speak to Me, Breathe, On the Run, Time, Great Gig in the Sky.” Another hand has added a sixth track in black felt tip, “Dropouts Are Free,” with box spine marked: “7/31/74, Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd, 1/2.” The multi-track second box, with label marked as ‘Reel 2,’ reads as follows: “Pink Floyd, Side 2, Money, Us & Them, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage, Eclipse.” Like the first box, a sixth track has been added in black felt tip, “No Blo, No Sho!” The box spine is similarly marked: “7/31/74, Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd, 2/2.” The tracks in felt tip, ‘Dropouts Are Free’ and ‘No Blo, No Sho!,’ are not found on the tapes and are presumed joke tracks listed by an engineer. In overall fine condition, with wear to the original boxes. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from former Electric Lady Studios owner Richard Flanzer, in part: “Alan Selby and partner Richard Flanzer purchased the studio from the Hendrix estate in the late 1970’s. They successfully managed this studio through various musical transitions for the next 3 decades.” Between May 1972 and January 1973, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in two sessions, with the album released shortly thereafter on March 1, 1973. The dates on both boxes indicate that these master tapes were delivered to Electric Lady Studios prior to July 31, 1974. “In 2006, while cleaning out the studio prior to its eventual sale, the Dark Side of the Moon Master Tapes were discovered by my partner and I. There is a 10-minute video showing expert Mastering Engineer Scott Hull of Masterdisk who examined and repacked this analog 2 track and multi-track reel. Through this process he verified the album is still on the tapes. Based on our observations we believe these to be vintage duplicate master tapes of Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side of the Moon.’” To our knowledge, these are the earliest recordings of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon in private hands or ever offered at auction. The referenced video can be viewed at www.RRAuction.com. Starting Bid $300

Nirvana deliver a ‘Heart-Shaped Box’ for In Utero 9349. Nirvana Signed CD. UK issue CD single for ‘Heart-Shaped Box’ by Nirvana, signed on the front of the booklet in blue felt tip, “Kurt,” “Krist,” and “David.” In fine condition. The CD is included. Despite not being released as a physical single in America, ‘Heart-Shaped Box,’ the first single from Nirvana’s third and final studio album, In Utero, managed to attain the number one spot on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart due in large part to strong radio airplay and a now iconic and surrealistic music video; according to the director Anton Corbijn, the video was ‘15% mine’ and 85% Cobain’s. A brilliant fully signed CD for one of Nirvana’s most popular grunge rock anthems. Brennan first met Nirvana in January 1992, in the lobby of NBC when they were at the Thursday music rehearsal for a “Saturday Night Live” performance. After that, he flew to Seattle six times to see Nirvana, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. He followed them before they were famous: “I just knew.” He met them a total of 8-12 times. “In just under two years, it was all over.” He followed them all of 1992 and 1993. Drummer Dave Grohl is seen wearing a “Secret Sounds” t-shirt on the album cover for “Muddy Banks of Wishkah,” which Brennan gave him. “Dave was always difficult to deal with; Kurt was the easy one.” Accompanied by full letters of authenticity from REAL and Beckett Authentication Services.From The John Brennan In-person Autograph Collection.

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

As Brando films 1958’s The Young Lions, he throws Hollywood censorship lines aside in this private letter: “Say hellow to your boss and give everybody the finger for me” 9511. Marlon Brando Typed Letter Signed. Humorous TLS signed “Take
care, Mar,” one page, 8.5 x 11, 1957. Letter to Eddie Sherman of the Honolulu Advertiser, in part (spelling and grammar retained): “Who would have ever thought that I would be in paris in 1957 and fucking Amelia Aerhart. I called you a couple of times while I was in and out of Lotus Land but I guess you were mad at me. That’s all right kid, just wait till you want to get your hands on some of my used condoms, then we’ll see how tough you are. How are ya? I’ve been really bleeding with the heat here. I’m playing a German officer in the Young Lions and were shooting in wool uniforms at a mean temperature of 96 degrees. My nuts turnned into a couple of butterscotch drops and I had to scrape them up off the floor with a dull knife. I think that perhaps it’s going to be a good picture after all. Monty Clift and Dean Martin are in it. We’ll be here for possibly for threel more weeks and them go to Germany for six days and N. Y., the desert, sunvally, the Hollywood. Its got the potentials of an effective anti war story and I’m trying to put my best into it.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, filled out in Brando’s hand, with his return address also written by him on the reverse.
At the time, Brando was working on The Young Lions, a World War II film in which he portrayed a disillusioned Nazi lieutenant. As Brando mentions, Lions also starred Dean Martin and Montgomery Clift, who represented the other side of the war, as two friends in the US Army. Based on the best-selling 1949 novel by Irwin Shaw, the movie was somewhat limited due to censorship restrictions, but was nevertheless well received, Brando’s performance in particular. Just as Brando complains about the weather in this correspondence, according to Twentieth Century-Fox: A Corporate and Financial History by Aubrey Solomon, the production filming of The Young Lions ‘Had the misfortune to hit torrential rains in almost every location and was even struck by a locust plague, causing delays which amounted to $1.3 million, almost 50 per cent of the original budget.’ A colorful letter, rich in movie content from the Hollywood icon.

Forty documents from the turbulent making of
Apocalypse Now ‘My film is not a movie. My film is not about Vietnam. It IS Vietnam. It’s what it was really like—it was crazy. And the way we made it was very much like the way the Americans were in Vietnam. We were in the jungle, there were too many of us, we had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little we went insane.’ —Francis Ford Coppola, Cannes, 1979
9516. Apocalypse Now Archive of (40) Signed Documents. On March 20, 1976, director Francis Ford Coppola and dozens of cast and crew descended into the Philippine jungle, into madness, into their Vietnam. The film opens sans credits, the whirling of Huey helicopters in a hellfire landscape interspersed with the whirring of a ceiling fan in the hotel room of Captain Benjamin L. Willard, played by Martin Sheen. He lies contemplatively, cursed by memories, as The Doors’ ‘The End’ plays in the background. A handgun, an empty glass of cognac, a smoldering cigarette. Willard rises, peers through the blinds, and exclaims: ‘Saigon…sh*t. I’m still only in Saigon. Every time, I think I’m gonna wake up back in the jungle.’ Coppola foregoes Hollywood’s standard opening formula by eschewing both title cards and credits (this is not a movie), resulting in immediate immersion for the viewer (it IS Vietnam). His artistic vision is mirrored in this comprehensive archive of 40 documents, which range in date from 1976 to 1979, and predominately consist of one-page screen credit release waivers signed in 1977; these forms, submitted to Coppola Cinema Seven, waive all rights “to receive credit on the screen for…services rendered in connection with the film entitled ‘Apocalypse Now,’” with the understanding that director Francis Ford Coppola intends “to provide credit on a printed program rather than on the screen in certain showings of the Film”; an example of this program is included. The primary documents that deviate from this waiver format are signed by Marlon Brando and George Lucas: the four Brando documents (with a combined total of five Brando signatures) discuss and consent to various matters related to his screen credits (e.g. “Martin Sheen’s name may appear above the
title, in third position, after my name and that of Robert Duvall” and “In connection with ‘Apocalypse Now,’ I agree that the ‘Directed By’ and ‘Produced By’ credits to Francis Coppola may be combined and appear above mine, so long as my credit still appears on a separate card on screen”), while the George Lucas document is an employment agreement for his “consulting and editing services.” Lucas had originally been slated to direct the picture, but his passion project—Star Wars—drew him away early on. Harrison Ford played the role of ‘Colonel Lucas’ in a nod to the departed director, and he, too, would be swept into the Star Wars saga—by the time Ford signed the present document (October 31, 1977), Star Wars had been in theaters for five months and made him a superstar overnight. The highlights of this archive are the documents signed by the principal actors/filmmakers: Marlon Brando (four documents, with one twice-signed), Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, Harrison Ford, Laurence Fishburne, Sam Bottoms, Frederic Forrest (adding: “provided you use my good side in the scene where my head is cut off, with Marty”), Albert Hall, George Lucas (also signed by Coppola), Francis Ford Coppola (a TLS about permission to use the Playboy Bunny logo), and screenwriter John Milius; and by the musicians who provided the memorable soundtrack: one signed by John Densmore and Robby Krieger of The Doors, one signed by Ray Manzarek of The Doors, and one signed by Flash Cadillac & The Continental Kids (Warren Knight, Sam McFadin, Linn Phillips III, Kris Moe, Dwight Bement, and Paul Wheatbread). In addition to the principal signers, the archive includes documents signed by background players and uncredited bit

parts: Joseph Sheen, Herb Rice, Charlie Robinson, Ben Piazza, Colleen Camp, Linda Carpenter, Mark Jenkins, Glenn Walken, Damien Leake, Ken Wolger, Jack Thibeau, William Upton, Tony Cummings, Frank Villard, David Olivier, Christian Marquand, Chrystel Le Pelletier, and Aurore Clément; and producers and crew assistants: Gray Frederickson, Fred Roos, Jerry Ziesmer, and Joe Lowry. Like the nightmare that was the Vietnam War, the production of Apocalypse Now went sideways nearly as soon as it started. It was originally scheduled for 16 weeks of shooting beginning in March 1976, a timeline that spiraled out of control: borrowed helicopters were recalled by the Philippine military to fight rebels; tropical disease wreaked havoc; payroll was stolen; and monsoon rains destroyed sets and equipment. Marlon Brando arrived in September, overweight and unprepared, having learned none of his lines. He refused to work with wild-and-crazy Dennis Hopper, forcing their scene together to be filmed on alternate nights. Fed up with Brando’s antics, Coppola ultimately turned over the filming of his scenes to Assistant Director Jerry Ziesmer (who is represented in these documents, and who uttered one of the film’s most memorable lines—’Terminate, with extreme prejudice’—after Coppola failed for months to find a suitable actor). Year’s end brought the fun ‘Hau Phat U.S.O. Bunny Show’ sequence, shot on December 3, 1976, that delivered Playboy Playmates Cyndi Wood, Linda Carpenter, and Colleen Camp to the set (Carpenter and Camp are included in this archive, as well as Coppola’s letter expressing concern about the use of Playboy’s famous logo, which appears throughout the scene). Trouble returned in early 1977, when the 36-year-old Martin Sheen collapsed from a serious, near-fatal heart attack. During Sheen’s six weeks of recovery, his look-alike, sound-alike younger brother, Joe Estevez—present in this archive as “Joseph Sheen”—filled in on set; Estevez would also provide the necessary voiceovers during post. Filming finally wrapped on May 21, 1977, after a combined 238 days of tumultuous shooting over a two-year span. Coppola addressed the crew at day’s end: ‘I’ve never seen so many people so happy to be unemployed.’ Post-production met with similar delays, due to setbacks in creating the stereo soundtrack (which would include ‘The End’ by The Doors and Flash Cadillac’s cover of ‘Suzie Q’) and re-working the film while editing the material. After fits and starts, Apocalypse Now finally debuted—as a ‘work in progress’—at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1979, where it was awarded the prestigious Palme d’Or. Laurence Fishburne was just 14 years old when production started, and had lied about his age to secure the role of 17-year-old Tyrone ‘Mr. Clean’ Miller (when he signed the present document in September 1977, he was still just 16); by the time the film premiered in American theaters in August 1979, Fishburne was 18 and could have joined the Army himself. Coppola revisited his masterpiece with the revised and extended version, Apocalypse Now Redux, released in 2001. The significant re-edit added 49 minutes to the original’s runtime, among them a long French plantation sequence in which five of the signers in this archive—Villard, Olivier, Marquand, Le Pelletier, and Clément—appear on screen, who are not seen in the original 1979 version. In addition to its eight Academy Award nominations (winning Oscars for ‘Best Cinematography’ and ‘Best Sound’), Apocalypse Now’s cinematic legacy has been enhanced by the Emmy-winning 1991 documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse, which chronicled the ‘magic and madness’ of its production. It now takes a place among the top films of all-time, and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being ‘culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.’ As a one-of-a-kind, extensive archive of documents signed by the prominent and obscure figures involved with the legendarily difficult making of Apocalypse Now, this is a truly remarkable lot.

Incredible court-used photo archive of the James Dean crash site 9517. James Dean Crash Site Photograph Collection. Unprec-
edented collection of 30 unpublished original glossy photos, 8.25 x 10 and 10 x 8.25, which vividly document the fatal car crash site of Hollywood actor James Dean, who was tragically killed at the age of 24 when his 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, coined the ‘Little Bastard,’ collided with a 1950 Ford Tudor driven by Donald Turnupseed on September 30, 1955; the accident occurred when the actor was driving westbound on U.S. Route 466 en route to a racing event in Salinas, California. The collection consists of 12 overhead views of the junction of Route 466 and Route 41, which lay a fascinating visual groundwork of the surrounding landscape and for a strip known as ‘the racer’s road,’ a stretch of tarmac used as a fast-moving shortcut by sports car drivers making their way to Salinas. Also featured is a total of 18 ‘ground-level’ photos, with nine showing Routes 466 and 41 in up-close detail—replete with telephone poles, mountainous vista, disrupted road shoulder, and fresh skid marks and vehicular fluid stains—and nine others showing the terrifying aftermath photos of Dean and Turnupseed’s mangled automobiles; the interior or exterior of Dean’s significantly damaged Porsche 550 is visible in six of the photographs, as is Dean’s No. 130 racing number and “Little Bastard” sticker. The photos, distinguished by date, are as follows: four of the ground-level aftermath photos are dated to the day of the accident, September 30, 1955; nine ground-level photos of Routes 466 and 41 are dated to the following day, October 1, 1955, with one photo of Turnupseed’s damaged Ford Tudor in a garage similarly dated; seven aerial photos dated June 21, 1958, and five aerial photos dated July 10, 1958. Four vehicle aftermath are undated, but were assuredly taken on September 30th or on early October 1st. Reverse of 26 photos stamp-dated with “Russ Schober Photo” or “Stevens Studios” address stamps and annotated with corresponding photo numbers. The reverse of all ground-level photos annotated in pencil, “Wutherich vs. Turnupseed–Dean– Coulter,” which alludes to the surviving passenger in Dean’s car, Porsche mechanic Rolf Wutherich, who attempted to sue the insurance companies of both Dean and Turnupseed for the array of injuries he incurred, such as a double fractured jaw and a severely torn left hip that required multiple surgeries. The legal proceedings never came to fruition, however, with Wutherich returning to West Germany in 1957. The other driver in the accident, Turnupseed, was practically physically unscathed, with no more than a bloody nose and scratches. In overall very good to fine condition, with scattered creasing, one edge tear, and one clipped corner. Accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from Robert A. Coyle, the son of Robert Everett Coyle, who served as the attorney on behalf of Turnupseed and his insurance company. The letter, in part: “Official photos taken at the scene after the crash and published by Stevens Studios in Paso Robles, CA…used in court case Wutherich vs. Turnupseed, Dean, Coulter…Our father, Robert E. Coyle, was the attorney for Donald Turnupseed…When the case was dropped, he was still in possession of the photographs and being a history buff, made sure they were not destroyed.” Like other leading men Steve McQueen and Paul Newman, Dean developed a passion for auto-racing in his early adulthood and began to purchase vehicles shortly after filming East of Eden. In Palm Springs on March 26–27, 1955, he entered his first professional race, taking the top spot in the novice class and placing second in the main event. Barred from all racing activities during the filming of Giant, it wasn’t until the end of production that Dean traded in his 1955 Porsche Super Speedster for his ‘Little Bastard,’ the faster and more powerful 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, which he planned to drive in the upcoming Salinas Road Race event scheduled for October 1–2. The early death of James Dean reverberates to this day, with these never-before-seen images offering an intensely unique perspective of the crash location and the resulting carnage, with many of the photos taken only hours after the accident.

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.

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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 partner-
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. Sales Tax: RR Auction is a remote seller and we are now required to collect Sales/Use Tax from our bidders. The states that we have nexus in we will be required to collect and remit sales tax on your behalf. Each state has different requirements to meet nexus. When RR Auction has achieved a certain monetary and/or invoice threshold in each state we will apply sales tax to your total invoice. Please go to our terms on our website to see the states that are affected. If we have not achieved nexus in a particular state it is still your responsibility to pay sales tax on your purchases. The sales tax rate is determined by the State, Country, and City where purchases are shipped to. If you decide to pick up your purchases at our New Hampshire location you will not be required to pay sales tax. The State of New Hampshire does not have a general sales and use tax. All purchases picked up at our Massachusetts location will be taxed at the current rate of 6.25%. Pennsylvania sales or use tax may be due in connection with the purchase and delivery of tangible personal property to Pennsylvania individuals and businesses. The purchaser is required to file a use tax return if tax is due in connection with the purchase and delivery in the Commonwealth. This notice is required pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Reform Code of 1971. 72 P.S. § 7213.2. If you have a resale number please email Sue@RRAuction.com or fax to (603) 732-4288 a copy of your state resale certificate and you will be exempt from paying sales tax. 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 thirdparty 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-actions brought by either RR Auction or Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale. 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. 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, non-incremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the under Bidder’s bid. Successful Bids: The fall of RR Auction’s hammer indicates the final bid. RR Auction will re-
cord 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. 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. 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 thirdparty 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 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.
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.
