“Here man completed his first exploration of the Moon”

4001.Gene Cernan’s Apollo 17 Flown Lunar SurfaceUsed EVA-3 Cuff Checklist. On December 14, 1972, Apollo

17 Commander Gene Cernan—the last Apollo moonwalker— delivered his parting words from the lunar surface. The Apollo program was over, and mankind knew not when it would return to another celestial body. Standing before the American flag, he delivered these words: “I think probably one of the most significant things we can think about when we think about Apollo is that it has opened for us—’for us’ being the world—a challenge of the future. The door is now cracked, but the promise of the future lies in the

young people, not just in America, but the young people all over the world learning to live and learning to work together.”

On his wrist was his EVA-3 cuff checklist, and on the bottom of the last page he had written some crib notes to jog his memory for this speech: “Chall[enge] of Apollo. Door Promise.”

He also penned the text of the Lunar Plaque to be left on the surface, and read it aloud during the broadcast of his final moments on the moon. Hopping over to the base of the Lunar Module ‘Challenger,’ he described the pictorial elements of the plaque, then spoke its words:

“Here man completed his first exploration of the Moon, December 1972 A.D. May the spirit of peace in which we came be reflected in the lives of all mankind’...

This is our commemoration that will be here until someone like us, until some of you who are out there, who are the promise of the future, come back to read it again and to further the exploration and the meaning of Apollo.”

In closing, Cernan remarked: “As I take man’s last step from the surface, back home for some time to come—but we believe not too long into the future—I’d like to just (say) what I believe history will record. That America’s challenge of today has forged man’s destiny of tomorrow. And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind.

Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17.”

Commander Gene Cernan’s Apollo 17 EVA-3 cuff checklist occupies a special place in Apollo history—it not only provided instructions for man’s last moonwalk, but held the handwritten notes for the last words spoken from the surface. This historic speech echoed the words of Neil Armstrong from three years earlier: mankind had made its giant leap, and CDR Cernan looked forward to a peaceful, hopeful future.

Cernan wore this cuff checklist on his wrist for the duration of the final EVA of Apollo 17, exposing it to the lunar environment for 7 hours and 15 minutes while exploring the base of the North Massif and the Sculptured Hills. In that time, Cernan traveled about 12.1 kilometers on the moon’s surface, aided by the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV). This checklist can be seen on his wrist in both film footage and photographic stills taken during the EVA, most evidently in a full-length portrait

taken early on in EVA-3: clearly visible on Cernan’s wrist, the checklist is open to the “0+25 Geology Prep” page. In video footage, he is seen flicking through the checklist at Station 9.

The cuff checklist is a comprehensive guide for the extravehicular activity, offering preparation procedures, simplified maps of traverse routes and landmarks, and task lists for each location. Interspersed are three cartoons of astronautdogs exploring the lunar surface, playfully inserted by the backup crew—an Apollo tradition. The checklist consists of 25 spiral-bound double-sided pages, each measuring 3.5˝ x 2.5˝, attached to an aluminum wrist brace marked with part numbers, “P/N SEB 33100302-302, S/N 1032.” The original black Velcro wristband remains attached. The checklist’s pages are smudged with gray lunar dust, making its extensive use on the moon’s surface self-evident. There are also a few handwritten notations throughout. On the blank last page, Cernan wrote the notes for his speech.

It is our understanding Cernan’s cuff checklists for EVA-1 and EVA-2 were sold privately, making this the first—and most historically significant—to be publicly offered. Deriving directly from the estate of Gene Cernan, it is a priceless Apollo artifact that would be the centerpiece of the finest private or institutional collections. Starting Bid $50,000

Flown heat shield shingle from Schirra’s Sigma 7 spacecraft, hand-painted by Cece Bibby 4002. Mercury-Atlas 8 Sigma 7 Flown Shingle Painted

by Cece Bibby. Historic, one-of-a-kind flown shingle from

the Mercury-Atlas 8 Sigma 7 spacecraft that carried astronaut Wally Schirra around the Earth six times on October 3, 1962, famously painted with the mission emblem by Cece Bibby. The shingle measures 20˝ x 18˝, and features the burnt remnants of Bibby’s painting of the ‘Sigma 7’ emblem in red, white, and yellow, along with the correct “J37” and “J20” port markings at the bottom. The burn patterns affecting the painting, along with its orientation as compared to bolt holes and the shingle’s ribbed exterior, clearly match the pre- and post-flight photographs of the Sigma 7 capsule: there is no doubt that this is the flown panel. The back of the panel is marked along the edge in white paint, “45-32 235-129,” and marked in black ink, “S/C #16, Shop #10.” Also attached to the reverse are segments of the thermocouple probes. The panel has several cuts along the top edge, where material was removed for analysis.

In order to understand the effects of reentry on the materials used for the shell of the Mercury capsule, NASA transferred this panel to Dr. John F. Radavich of Purdue University for destructive evaluation. Dr. Radavich’s obituary makes note of his distinguished career as a researcher: ‘His principal contribution to high temperature material technology had been his pioneering work in the transition of analytical procedures from optical to electron microscopy. In so doing, he developed preparation procedures that opened the doors to all future metallographic studies of superalloys. The current state-of-the-art practices for phase extraction and identification are dependent upon the fundamental knowledge that he developed.’

The shingles of the Mercury capsules were composed of a nickel-based high temperature alloy called René 41, used due to its ability to retain high strength at extreme temperatures. Based on his expertise in this specific field, it is evident why Dr. Radavich would have been chosen to receive these shingles for study. In August 1962, he published a paper

entitled ‘Microstructural Changes Produced in Orbited Rene’ 41 Heat Shingles,’ in which he noted that the panel surfaces displayed no obvious meteorite impacts; that the outer oxide layer undergoes an enrichment of chromium oxide relative to preflight material; and that the amount of M6C carbide phase in flown material decreases relative to the TiC phase, among other observations.

On December 9, 1962, the Terre Haute Tribune featured an image of Dr. Radavich posing with this shingle, captioned: ‘Sigma 7 Shingle Studied by Scientist—One of two high-temperature alloy shingles from U.S. astronaut Walter Schirra’s Sigma 7 space capsule being studied to determine structural changes during orbit and re-entry is displayed by by Dr. John F. Radavich, Purdue University materials researcher, in LaFayette, Ind.’ Contemporaneous evidence exists indicating that NASA did not anticipate return of the transferred shingle given the expectation that the Sigma 7 shingle, and others similarly allocated to Dr. Radavich, were to be destructively evaluated—the ‘fragmentary dissection’ performed by Dr. Radavich is evident on this panel today.

This shingle is of particular importance, as it boasts the original hand-painted ‘Sigma 7’ insignia by Cece Bibby. In 1959, Bibby was hired by Chrysler Aerospace and soon began work as a contract artist for NASA, her workspace located just across the street from the astronaut office. Not a fan of the stencil designs on the Freedom 7 and Liberty Bell 7, John Glenn recruited Bibby in 1962 to design and paint by hand the emblem for his Friendship 7 spacecraft. In addition to Glenn, Bibby went on to create the designs for Scott Carpenter’s Aurora 7 and Wally Schirra’s Sigma 7 capsules, subsequently becoming the first and only woman to ascend the Mercury launch gantry and go inside the ‘white room’ that surrounded the vehicle. The Sigma 7 emblem was the third and final logo created by her for the Mercury program. Starting Bid $10,000

Iconic Cece Bibby-painted “Aurora 7” flown shingle from Carpenter’s capsule 4003. Mercury-Atlas 7 Aurora 7 Flown Shingle Painted

by Cece Bibby. Historic, one-of-a-kind flown shingle from

the Mercury-Atlas 7 Aurora 7 spacecraft that carried astronaut Scott Carpenter around the Earth three times on May 24, 1962, famously painted with the mission emblem by Cece Bibby. The shingle measures 20˝ x 19.5˝, and features the burnt remnants of Bibby’s painting of the ‘Sigma 7’ emblem: originally rendered in blue, white, orange, yellow, and red, only the white outlines generally remain, with the ‘ghosts’ of the “7,” “Aurora” lettering, and three aurora rings still discernible. The correct “J37” and “J20” port markings remain at the bottom. The burn patterns affecting the painting, along with its orientation as compared to bolt holes and the shingle’s ribbed exterior, clearly match the pre- and post-flight photographs of the Aurora 7 capsule: there is no doubt that this is the flown panel. The back of the panel is marked “Carpenter” at center. Also attached to the reverse is a segment of the thermocouple probe. The panel has several cuts along the edges, with a large segment excised from the upper right corner, where material was removed for analysis.

In order to understand the effects of reentry on the materials used for the shell of the Mercury capsule, NASA transferred this panel to Dr. John F. Radavich of Purdue University for destructive evaluation.

displayed no obvious meteorite impacts; that the outer oxide layer undergoes an enrichment of chromium oxide relative to preflight material; and that the amount of M6C carbide phase in flown material decreases relative to the TiC phase, among other observations.

On October 3, 1962, the Lafayette Journal and Courier reported on Dr. Radavich’s studies: ‘A heat shingle from the space capsule which took astronaut Scott Carpenter on his orbital flight last May is being sent by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to Purdue University for intensive study

by Dr. John F. Radavich, associate professor of aeronautical and engineering sciences. An expert in super alloys, such as that composing the shingle, Dr. Radavich will subject the material to fragmentary dissection and testing in order to trace in detail what happened and how the capsule skin reacted to extreme pressures and temperatures, friction with the atmosphere, collisions with meteor dust, and other events that may have occurred during the flight…Findings from the study are expected to provide much-needed information about how the skin of the space capsule changes under space flight conditions.’ This article furnished contemporaneous evidence that NASA did not anticipate return of the transferred shingle given that expectation the Aurora 7 shingle, and others similarly allocated to Dr. Radavich, were to be destructively evaluated—the ‘fragmentary dissection’ performed by Dr. Radavich is evident on this panel today.

8 Sigma 7 spacecraft that carried astronaut Wally Schirra around the Earth six times on October 3, 1962. The shingle measures 12˝ x 11.5˝, and is marked on the back in black paint: “-7, Cap 16, Shop,” attributing it to the Sigma 7 spacecraft (Mercury capsule #16). Also attached to the reverse is a segment of the thermocouple probe. The panel has several cuts along the top and bottom edges, where material was removed for analysis.

satellite Explorer 1 nose cone / payload carrier mockup developed in conjunction with the first successful U.S. orbital satellite program

4007. Explorer 1 Mockup Nose Cone. Impressive historic mockup of the nose cone/payload carrier for the Explorer 1 satellite fabricated and used by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA) Fabrication & Advanced Engineering (F&AE) Laboratory in conjunction with the first successful U.S. orbital satellite program. The heavy metal three-piece nose cone stands an impressive 37.25 ̋ in height with a diameter of 6.25 ̋, weighs approximately 16.5 lbs, and includes a set of four flexible coil-wound whips with weighted tips, which comprised the turnstile antenna, each antenna element is 28 ̋ in length; the base is marked in yellow paint, “F&AE Lab.” Includes its original wooden carrying case, 40 ̋ x 8 ̋ x 7.5 ̋, with the upper lid stenciled “Nose Cone & Payload,” and marked in yellow paint, “F&AE Lab.” In very good condition, with scattered scuffing and marks; case features heavy wear, with screws to handle stripped.

Explorer 1 was the first satellite launched by the United States when it was sent into space on January 31, 1958. Following the launch of the Soviet Union’s Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957, the U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Agency was directed to launch a satellite using its Jupiter C rocket developed under the direction of Dr. Wernher von Braun. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory received the assignment to design, build and operate the artificial satellite that would serve as the rocket’s payload.

JPL completed this job in less than three months. Explorer

1 nose cone payload integration with the Jupiter C required close coordination between JPL and ABMA to facilitate the successful launch.

The primary science instrument on Explorer 1 was a cosmic ray detector designed to measure the radiation environment in Earth orbit. Once in space this experiment, provided by Dr. James Van Allen of the University of Iowa, revealed a much lower cosmic ray count than expected. Van Allen theorized that the instrument may have been saturated by very strong radiation from a belt of charged particles trapped in space by Earth’s magnetic field. The existence of these radiation belts was confirmed by another U.S. satellite launched two months later, and they became known as the Van Allen Belts in honor of their discoverer.

Explorer 1 revolved around Earth in a looping orbit that took it as close as 354 kilometers (220 miles) to Earth and as far as 2,515 kilometers (1,563 miles). It made one orbit every 114.8 minutes, or a total of 12.54 orbits per day. The satellite itself was 203 centimeters (80 inches) long and 15.9 centimeters (6.25 inches) in diameter. Explorer 1 made its final transmission on May 23, 1958. It entered Earth’s atmosphere and burned up on March 31, 1970, after more than 58,000 orbits. The satellite (with installed payload) weighed 14 kilograms (30.66 pounds).Starting Bid $5000

A group of four Lockheed T-33A jet trainers were operated at the NASA Flight Research Center from 1958 to 1973. The T-33 was the first U.S. Air Force jet trainer and it was primarily used for support and flight research. However, during the Mercury Program, the T-33 was replaced by the T-38 in 1961 as NASA’s new go-to advanced jet trainer. Serving the Air Force in that capacity to this day, the T-38 remains a fixture for astronaut training more than 30 years later because the sleek, white jets force pilots and mission specialists to think and adapt quickly to fast-changing situations, mental experiences that astronauts say are critical to practicing for the rigors of spaceflight. $200

The idea for the cover wagon came from a wooden model a family member had whittled. I felt it was the best way to symbolize the pioneering spirit of this early Gemini flight.

The ‘8 days or bust’ wording was not added to this run of patches due to a directive from NASA Administrator James Webb.

He indicated that flight time short of eight days could be viewed as a mission failure…Our mission completed all eight days and Gemini 5 marked the beginning of the United States lead in manned space exploration.” The patch and letter are matted alongside a color satin-finish 7 x 9.5 photo of the GT-5 crew after recovery, signed in blue felt tip, “You need a shave!

Gus Grissom’s flown Fliteline medallion, presented to his father after the safe return of the ‘Molly Brown’ 4049. Gus Grissom’s Gemini 3 Flown Fliteline Medallion. Gus Grissom’s flown Gemini 3 sterling silver Fliteline medallion, 1˝ in diameter, with the front depicting the GT-3 capsule (“The Molly Brown”) floating in the ocean, encircled by the names of the astronauts, “Virgil I. Grissom” and “John W. Young”; the reverse features the name of the mission in raised text, “GT-3,” and is engraved with its date, “March 23, 1965.” Marked “Sterling” along the lower edge, and features an attached 2.5˝-long stickpin. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Grissom’s brother, in full: “This medallion was given to my and Gus Grissom’s father, Dennis, after his Gemini flight in the Molly Brown spacecraft.

It is my understanding that this medallion, and others were made specifically in very limited quantities exclusively for the Astronauts.”

Less than three months after the flight of Alan Shepard’s Freedom 7, Gus Grissom earned the distinction of becoming the second American to reach space when his Liberty Bell 7 launched on July 21, 1961. However, unlike the successful splashdown of Shepard, the premature opening of his capsule’s hatch upon Atlantic touchdown nearly led to Grissom’s drowning. Having already unbuckled most of his harnessing, Grissom was able to quickly free himself and escape from the sinking craft. After four to five minutes of treading water, an exhausted and relieved Grissom was lifted aboard a recovery helicopter. For his subsequent Gemini 3 mission, Grissom playfully named the spacecraft ‘Molly Brown,’ in reference to the Titanic’s ‘The Unsinkable Molly Brown’ and his own harrowing experience.

This patch was a part of John W. Young’s personal collection since the mission.” In fine condition. This symbolic insignia design, featuring a large red X with a Gemini and Agena orbiting around it, holds a variety of meanings: it may be interpreted as the mission’s two rendezvous attempts, Castor and Pollux in Gemini, or the two crew members. This is the scarcest of all embroidered patches with just 110 produced by Texas Art Embroidery for the mission. A fantastic flown piece from Young’s personal collection. Starting Bid $200

The use of the actuator is described in a NASA publication about the Launch Escape Subsystem: ‘The canards are two deployable surfaces and operating mechanisms which are faired (attached in a smooth line) into the outer skin of the launch escape assembly just below the nose cone. The operating mechanism is inside the structure. Each canard is mounted on two hinges and is deployed by a gas-operated actuator. Eleven seconds after the abort signal is received by the master events sequence controller, an electric current fires cartridges to open the canards. Gas from the cartridges causes a piston to retract, operating the opening mechanism.

The canard surfaces mechanically lock in place when fully opened.’ Aerodynamic forces acting upon the deployed canards would rotate the Command Module so that its blunt end points toward Earth for a safe landing after aborting the mission. Starting Bid $200

as a Attitude Control, Reaction Control System (RCS) and primary propulsion thruster, measuring approximately 13.75˝ tall with a diameter of 5.5˝ at the nozzle, marked on the side: “Engine-Rocket, [Pa]rt No. 228687-533, Ser. No. 1406…Contract No. R02CGA5604…Date 3Q70.” The valves at the top are also marked with Marquardt labels, “Valve Assy-Solenoid, Oxidizer” and “Valve Assy-Solenoid, Fuel.” The engine has a rated thrust of 100 pounds, just as those used by the Apollo spacecraft did.

Manufactured in the third quarter of 1970, it also dates to the time of the Apollo program’s lunar landings. Includes its original plastic protective cover for the combustion chamber and nozzle skirt.

Originally designed by Marquardt to be used for attitude control, reaction control thruster on Apollo vehicles, the R-4D saw use in a variety of other spacecraft including the U.S. Navy’s Leasat, Insat 1, Intelsat 6, Italsat, BulgariaSat-1, Japan’s H-II Transfer Vehicle, and the European Automated Transfer Vehicle.The R-4D was also employed as the primary propulsion maneuver engine on the Lunar Orbiter. On the Apollo vehicles, the 100-pound thrust rocket engines were used in groups of four—configured as a ‘quad’—to provide attitude control of the CSM and LM, allowing roll, yaw, and pitch maneuvers. A fantastic piece of significant space hardware. Starting Bid $5000

4108. Apollo Guidance Computer Block II Yul System Revision Readout: ‘Aurora 12’. Thick original printout of the assembly

listing for the Apollo Guidance Computer program called “Aurora 12,” approximately 790 pages, November 10, 1966, held within a contemporary 15.25˝ x 11.5˝ x 4˝ binder, marked on the front: “Aurora, 10/10/66,” and on the edge, “Aurora Rev 12.” The listing is headed “473423A YUL SYSTEM FOR BLK2: REVISION 12 OF PROGRAM AURORA BY DAP GROUP.” In fine condition, with general wear.

According to the Virtual AGC Project, which scanned this document for archival purposes, this listing is distinguished by the fact that it is the last AGC software that retains a full suite of self-test software, and is thus indispensable for validating software and hardware simulations of the guidance computer. It also employs unique flavor of the AGC programming language: although it is a Block 2 program for a Block 2 computer, the language version precedes its final form as used in later software.

4109. Apollo Guidance Computer Block II Yul System Revision Readout: ‘Retread 44’. Original printout of the assembly listing for the Apollo Guidance Computer program called “Retread 44,” 304 pages, July 9, 1965, held within a contemporary 15.25˝ x 11.5˝ x 1˝ binder, marked on the front: “BLK II Program ‘Retread,’ Silver’s Copy, Dick Sheridan.” The listing is headed “275690 YUL SYSTEM FOR BLK2: REVISION 0 OF PROGRAM RETRED44 BY NASA 2021100.” In very good to fine condition, with general wear and creasing to a few pages.

According to the Virtual AGC Project, which scanned this document for archival purposes, this is the oldest-known still-surviving AGC code. At the time it was written in 1965, its purpose was to port AGC code written for the Command Module’s early ‘Block I’ AGC to the later-model ‘Block II’ AGC used for the flown Lunar Module missions. The assembler for the AGC code was called “YUL,” so named by Hugh Blair-Smith to commemorate the unmet Christmastime delivery date of a prototype guidance computer in 1959.

Grumman engineering logbook for the Lunar Module Eagle 4167. Apollo 11 Grumman Lunar Module Logbook. Rare Grumman handwritten construction and testing logbook for the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle, dated between May and December 1968 in original Grumman sequencing (not chronological), consisting of approximately 65 single-sided handwritten 8 x 11 pages detailing the construction and testing of the LM-5 (Eagle), the first spacecraft to land on the moon. The logbook was designated to Ace Room III, where electronics and attitude control rockets were being tested and, on occasion, redesigned or replaced. The last entry in this volume is dated December 31, 1968, shortly after Apollo 8 returned from its trip into moon orbit. Written in ink and graphite in the hands of Joe Neilsen, Paul Rosone, B. Zegaroski, T. Woods, and other Apollo engineers, this one-of-a-kind logbook is akin to peering into a time capsule, and includes several notable entry dates, including: May 21st: Rosone includes a hand-drawn illustration in response to a decision about “lines that will be broken to install 490 pack (long story).”

September 18th: Neilsen’s ink-smudged fingerprints on a page describing his very frustrating night with the attitude control rocket valves.

October 31st: Neilsen noting that the floor of the LM-5 cabin needed to be removed for a change-out of the ascent stage engine: “Crew Compartment Fit and Functional Team has $3,000,000 worth of equipment in the cabin, and they are locking it up and posting guards around it (with machine guns), so I couldn’t go inside.”

November 12th: Neilsen notes that he was unable to assist with LM-5 wiring because he had been called away and “was busy on LM-7 [Apollo 13].” Within this same time frame, Neilsen was also being called away to work simultaneously on LM-6 (Apollo 12). The exhausted engineer wrote a poignant plea in the log, begging for a break in the intense schedule so he could keep a promise to take his wife to a dance. The logbook shows that he was able to get rocket scientist Bill Voorhest to take his place; but Neilsen was still needed at LM-5, and wrote, “I’ll come in but reluctantly (if my wife doesn’t shoot me).”

November 19th: hand-drawn charts outlining good and bad sequences in firing “quads.”

Additionally, the logbook documents May and June 1968 tests of LM-5 engines under vacuum, and a surprisingly high number of electrical and valve problems with the attitude control thrusters (called “quads”), followed by hand-drawn revisions of electronics (10/24/68) and a doodle at the top of the page around the word “LOG,” followed by disputes over whether rewiring should be completed before or after test firing of quads. Includes a copy of the cover page from Ross Fleisig’s Phase III Reliability Report, dated November 20, 1968: “Reportable failures have gone down from (205 for) KM-3, to (74 for) LM-4, 57 (for) LM-5…

Significantly improved vehicle… Low [says] this is very likely to be the LM to land on the moon - it should be.” Housed in a threering binder and in fine condition. Originates from the collection of scientist and author Charles Pellegrino. Starting Bid $500

Each of these were completely different from every other. Over the last several years, I have given many public lectures in a number of countries, most recently (before Ireland) in Jordan, England, and India. In the enclosed recent clippings, the press reports, as always, my supposed seclusiveness. They learn this characterization from other newspaper articles. The primary reason for their view is that I have long maintained a policy of not granting individual interviews, and press conferences only when justified by newsworthy events. I do not mind that my view of my public intercourse and that of the press do not coincide. It probably suits my purpose better than if we had the same opinion.” Armstrong closes with the valediction, “Your reclusive friend.” fine condition, with a light crease to the lower left corner tip.

Incredibly rare MIT-built Lunar Traverse Gravimeter, like that used on Apollo 17

4326. Lunar Traverse Gravimeter. Absolutely amazing Lunar Traverse

Gravimeter, a production representative example of the same gravimeter used on the lunar surface during the Apollo 17 mission. The gold-plated unit measures approximately 9˝ x 17˝ x 8˝, standing on three small legs, with a rotating carrying handle at the top, which was also used for locking the unit on the Lunar Rover.

The gravimeter has no front panel so that the internal workings of the device may be viewed. The TGE had a nine-digit display to read out gravity and internal temperature. Also included is the gold-plated phase lock loop, 7˝ x 6.5˝ x 4˝, serial numbers 010 and 011, as well as the plated spare battery pack assembly, serial number 010.

Built by the Instrumentation Laboratory at MIT, the purpose of the gravimeter was to measure the moon’s gravitational field using a precise Vibrating String Accelerometer (VSA). While on the Moon, astronauts would move the device to different locations and take readings of the gravitational force. Packaged as part of Apollo 17’s ALSEP package, the gravimeter was housed on the geopallet of the lunar rover. Only three other gravimeters are known to exist: one left on the lunar surface

by Apollo 17, the mission’s back-up at the Smithsonian, and one other at Columbia University. This piece will be crated and shipped from California; the buyer is responsible for all associated costs. Starting Bid $5000 92 |

Full-scale mockup of the Skylab MDA, used in training for trips to America’s first space station 4375. Skylab Multiple Docking Adapter One-G Training Mockup.

Full-scale training mockup of the Skylab

Multiple Docking Adapter (MDA), used for training the Skylab astronauts prior to their missions. This was originally an engineering mockup and updated to become a One-G Trainer.

The piece was deaccessioned from the Kennedy Space Center after being on display for over 40 years. RR Auction will help facilitate the shipping, but the winning bidder will be responsible from all costs. The item is located in Colorado.

The multiple docking adapter (MDA) was part of Skylab, America’s first space station. Three-man astronaut crews traveling to and from Skylab in Apollo spacecraft docked to the main (axial) docking port at one end of the cylindrical MDA. A second (radial) docking port on the side of the MDA was reserved for emergency use. The MDA also served as the control center for solar observations, Earth resources observations, and materials processing experiments.

An environmentally controlled work and storage area within the MDA featured a pressurized passageway between the docked CSM and the radial docking port in the event rescue operations were implemented. In addition to this pressurized passageway, the work area included work stations for crew operations, a mounting and operation facility for experiments; a separate mounting and operation facility for the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) control & display console. Control and monitoring of the onboard Radio Noise Burst Monitory (RNBM) and Proton Spectrometer were also conducted from this location.

The MDA incorporated crew intercommunications with the rest of the orbital workshop, a caution and warning facility, TV camera controls, an optical window for photography, and provided an external structure for mounting the station’s L-band antennas.

A history of the MDA Engineering Mockup/One-G Trainer, drawn from NASA Technical Memorandum X-64812, ‘MSFC Skylab Multiple Docking Adapter, Vols. 1 and 2’: The structural/electrical development phase was initiated with the fabrication and assembly of the Engineering Mockup Unit (EMU) on the factory floor at the MDA mockup area. The EMU was then shipped to MDAC-East where it was mated with the STS-Airlock Module for CSR. The EMU was returned to Denver after CSR and updated to become the One-G Trainer.

The One-G Trainer was modified in a mockup area using the team concept in order to reduce the necessary paperwork.

The team consisted of structure and production engineers, and manufacturing fabrication personnel. The One-G-Trainer was then shipped to JSC-Houston to be used to support extensive crew training operations.

MDA Engineering Mockup Unit (EMU) Article A. Design Requirements - The design requirements for the finalized MDA EMU Article was to provide a MDA test article of suitable fidelity to work component, systems, crew and vehicle relationships. To achieve that objective, the components and cable bundles were representative in visual appearance and manual operation to their flight counterparts. the specific “defined” requirements for the EMU are defined in MSFC MOD, MSFC-165.

B. Functional Description - The MDA EMU electronic system consisted of functional as well as nonfunctional prototype equipment and circuitry.

C. Mission Results - Prior to the launch of Skylab the EMU article was converted to the One-G Training Article under a new MSFC MOD (See Section 2.2.4.11).

MDA One-G Training Article A. Design Requirements - The design requirements for the MDA One-G Training Article were: adequate and proper training of the astronauts and the generation of suitable crew procedures and flight problem workarounds. Component and system fidelity was required to be representative in visual appearance and manual operation. The specific component requirements are defined in MSFC MOD, MSFC 322 ‘MDA One-G Trainer Definition.’

B. Functional Description- The MDA One-G Trainer electronic system consisted of functional as well as nonfunctional prototype equipment and circuitry.

C. Mission Results - The One-G Training Article provided the high-fidelity necessary to successfully support the Skylab mission. The article was used extensively during the mission to develop astronaut procedures and assist in the developing new cables for crew on-orbit installation and checkout.

D. Conclusions and recommendations - The One-G Trainer successfully provided its required functions throughout all phases of the MDA program. Starting Bid $5000 www.RRAuction.com | 103

In the aftermath of the Challenger disaster on January 28, 1986, President Reagan organized the Rogers Commission to determine why the STS-51-L spacecraft exploded a mere 73 seconds after liftoff. Led by former Secretary of State and Attorney General William P. Rogers, the commission concluded their findings on June 9, 1986, confirming that the accident was caused by O-ring failure on the right solid rocket booster. In addition to the inclusion of Armstrong, this exceptional photograph is highlighted by the presence of Feynman, a theoretical physicist whose unorthodox methods not only led to the discovery of the O-ring malfunction, but likewise unveiled the ongoing miscommunication between NASA management and engineers.

RS-2101 Liquid Rocket Engine designed for application on the Mars Viking Orbiter, sealed in its original cleaning bag.

Includes its protective red rubber caps and original Rocketdyne shipping crate.

NASA sent two Viking spacecraft to Mars in the summer of 1976, and each were comprised of an orbiter, which would photograph the surface, and a lander, which would study the surface and conduct several experiments. The RS-2101 engine was utilized to provide midcourse trajectory corrections while the Viking was en route to Mars and executed the orbital insertion and orbit trim maneuvers of the Orbiter/Lander spacecraft upon arrival at the red planet. The whole spacecraft would orbit the planet for approximately one month, using the images relayed back to mission control to identify a landing site. The landers then separated and soft landed on the Martian surface, touching down in July and September of 1976. Both orbiters and landers eventually failed or were shut down, but not before achieving all of the mission’s scientific objectives, including imaging the Martian surface and searching for evidence of life on the planet.

meteorites 4566. Dhofar 287 Lunar Meteorite Flown on the International Space Station. Extraordinary Dhofar 287 lunar

meteorite slice, measuring 16 mm x 7 mm, carried on the International Space Station by cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov during Expedition 10. The composition of the meteorite resembles moon rock material collected in the ‘Ocean of Storms’ during the Apollo 12 mission, and it was sent to Sharipov from Houston, Texas, on the 35th anniversary of the Apollo 12 lunar landing.

It is affixed to an 8.25 x 11.75 letter describing the composition of the meteorite, which bears an ISS ink stamp. The letter was delivered to the ISS on Progress M-52. On the tenth expedition to the ISS in 2004–2005, Salizhan Sharipov and Leroy Chiao replaced critical hardware in the Quest Joint Airlock, repaired spacesuits, submitted a scientific research paper on ultrasound in space, and performed two spacewalks. In fine condition.

Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. This is one of two such letters carried to the ISS for Expedition 10, and this one has the larger slice of lunar meteorite. A remarkable relic of space history—a physical piece of the moon that landed on Earth as part of a lunar meteorite, returned to the heavens aboard the International Space Station, and ultimately brought back to Earth. Starting Bid $200

4567. Fukang Pallasite Meteorite Slice. Beautiful Fukang pallasite meteorite

partial slice, characterized by extraordinarily large and colorful olivine crystals (also known as extraterrestrial peridot). Etched and polished on both faces, the partial slice weighs 88.7 grams and measures approximately 83 mm x 80 mm x 3 mm. The main mass was discovered in 2000 in Xinjiang Province, China, and this meteorite has rapidly become a favorite among collectors due to the stunning and enormous olivine crystals. The absolute finest display piece.

Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Aerolite Meteorites. Starting Bid $300

4568. Northwest Africa (NWA) 5000 Lunar Meteorite Part Slice “The Eclipse.” Lunar meteorite, lunar

highlands monomict gabbroic breccia, Northwest Africa, found 2007. Part slice, “The Eclipse,” weighing 36.80 grams and measuring 57 mm x 42 mm x 8 mm. Adam Hupé, the original owner of the main mass of this meteorite, remarked that he observed a lunar eclipse on the evening of February 20th 2008 from Titlow Beach, Washington, through the two naturally occurring holes in this specimen, hence its name, “The Eclipse.” This slice has an outside surface with rare translucent fusion crust (the four edges and one surface are polished leaving the second surface unfinished). Accompanied by a metal identification tag, a color identification card, portfolio, custom fitted Pelican case for added safety and security and a certificate of authenticity and other paperwork from the Von Hupé Planetary Collection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time in human history the Moon has been viewed through a piece of the Moon from Planet Earth, and this piece comes with a sworn affidavit stating such. Hupé was also the first to view a solar eclipse through a piece of the Moon the morning of August 21st, 2017.Starting Bid $1000

4569. Northwest Africa (NWA) 5000 Lunar Meteorite Part Slice “The Monolith.” Lunar meteorite, lunar

highlands monomict gabbroic breccia, Northwest Africa, found 2007. Parallel cut and highly polished partial slice, “The Monolith,” weighing 52.80 grams and measuring 67 mm x 38 mm x 8 mm. Lunar meteorite part slice personally prepared by Adam Hupé. He considered it to represent one of the most feature-rich portions of NWA 5000 and to show off the 3D optical illusion provided by breccia mantles unique to this lunar meteorite. It has been polished to highlight the meteorite’s contrast and was inspired by the film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” during preparation, hence the specimen’s unofficial name. This lot includes a metal identification tag, a color identification card, portfolio, custom fitted Pelican case for added safety and security and a certificate of authenticity and other paperwork from the Von Hupé Planetary Collection. Starting Bid $1000

4570. NWA 5406 Lunar Meteorite Slice. Northwest Africa (NWA) 5406 lunar

meteorite (feldspathic impact melt breccia) slice, featuring a dark matrix peppered with clasts and inclusions (some quite large), and an abundance of melt veins. Laboratory prepared with polished faces on both sides, the excellent full slice weighs 8.656 grams and measures approximately 51 mm x 49 mm x 2 mm. Accompanied by a descriptive plaque.

Dr. Randy L. Korotev of Washington University in St. Louis notes that NWA 5406 ‘is compositionally similar to soil from the Apollo 16 site and may have originated from near the Apollo 16 site.’

It is one of the only lunar meteorites that can be associated with an Apollo mission in such a manner. The Apollo 16 mission landed in the Descartes Highlands, where astronauts John Young and Charlie Duke collected 211 pounds of lunar rock and soil samples during their EVAs, which have since been exhaustively studied. Any genuine piece of ‘moon rock’ is highly prized, but the significance of this slice’s composition and likely place of origin make it all the more desirable.Starting Bid $300

4571. Sericho Meteorite. Pallasite, Kenya,

found 2016. Superb half individual with etched and polished face and abundant gemstones. Weighing 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs) and measuring 285 mm x 190 mm x 90 mm. This magnificent large example of the Sericho pallasite is a treasure trove of extraterrestrial gemstones of rich and varying colors. This type of “end cut” is highly valued by many meteorite collectors as it presents an example of the best of both worlds, that being the inside and the outside of a meteorite in a single specimen. The exterior of this large piece shows a rich chocolate-ocher natural patina, acquired from its centuries-long residence in the deserts of Kenya. The interior has been cut in the lab with a special saw and then meticulously prepared to reveal an ocean of glittering space gems.

Only a handful of skilled preparators have the expertise to carry out the type of exacting work that can reveal the inner beauty of a pallasite such as this. Sericho’s matrix is very hard—an amalgam of nickel, iron, and trace elements. The diamond-tipped saw employed to slice it must be resilient enough to work its way through such a mass, but also delicate and patient enough not to destroy the comparatively soft crystals within (peridot rates 6.5-7 on the hardness scale). An exquisite meteorite like this, when found, isn’t just dropped off at the local rock shop. After identification (and classification or analysis, if required), it is sent to one of the very few specialists who can handle such work. As such, expert human craft and technique have here added value and beauty to some of the solar system’s finest work. Starting Bid $500

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

This Agreement contains important provisions that control rights and liabilities, and specifically has provisions governing how disputes are handled as well as LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY that can be imposed upon RR Auction, WAIVER OF JURY and ARBITRATION PROVISIONS. This acknowledgement is a material term of these Conditions of Sale and of the consideration under which RR Auction agrees to these terms. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

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

Section 1 The Parties1.1 RR Auction and Auction This Auction is presented by RR Auction, a d/b/a/ of R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC, as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the Catalog or on the www.RRauction.com Internet site. The Auction is conducted under these Conditions of Sale. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog.

1.2 Bidder Bidder shall mean the original Bidder on the property offered for sale by RR Auction and not any subsequent owner or other person who may acquire or have acquired an interest therein.

If Bidder is an agent, the agency must be disclosed in writing to RR Auction prior to the time of sale, otherwise the benefits of the warranty shall be limited to the agent and not transferable to the undisclosed principal.

The rights granted to Bidder under these Conditions of Sale are personal and may not be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise without the express written assent of RR Auction. Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey these Conditions of Sale or any of the rights herein, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. No third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred on any Bidder by these Conditions of Sale, and no third party is intended as a beneficiary of these Conditions of Sale.

Bids will not be accepted from minor persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent or legal guardian’s written consent containing an acknowledgment of the Conditions of Sale herein and indicating their agreement to be bound thereby on behalf of the Bidder.

All Bidders must meet RR Auction’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of RR Auction may be disqualified at RR Auction’s sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by RR Auction in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. RR Auction reserves the right to exclude any person from the Auction.

If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid and agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale in addition to company for whom the Bidder is acting By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment.

Section 2 Bidding Privileges 2.1 In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established an account with RR Auction must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply additional information if requested, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders who are not members of RRAuction.com should pre-register before the close of the Auction to allow adequate time to contact references. Privileges will be granted at the sole discretion of RR Auction. Additionally, Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide a cash deposit prior to RR Auction’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: RRAuction.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the Auction venue.

2.2 Bidder providing any false or misleading information provided in connection with the registration shall be a material breach of the Conditions of Sale and in addition to any other remedies at law shall excuse RR Auction from performance under these Conditions of Sale, including the right to any refund.

2.2 Bidding privileges may be revoked without notice, for any reason, at the sole discretion of RR Auction .

Section 3 Buyer’s Premium 3.1 The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed and live Auctions. Buyer’s premium for our Sports Auctions is 20%. For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is earlier. Bidder’s failure to pay any payment in full when due required shall constitute a material breach, and in addition to other damages available under contract or law, at RR Auction’s election, RR Auction may cancel the sale and require full premium still be due along with interest at 1.5% per month from the date of breach, or at the maximum legally allowable rate.

Section 4 Bidding 4.1 Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s) and independent investigation, rather than the any reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. Bidder affirms that it regards any statements made by RR Auction concerning the item as solely opinion and that Bidder is making its own inspection and independent evaluation of the goods, and is not relying upon any description or statements by RR Auction (including as to quality, authenticity, provenance, ownership, liens existing, on goods legality, or value) in making its determination to bid on or purchase an item. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. 4.2 RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

4.3 All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing. RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder.

4.4 Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Consignor, or assignee of Consignor, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by Bidder and Bidder has fully satisfied any outstanding financial obligations to RR Auction (including as it concerns aby other lots). RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder.

4.5 It is the Bidder’s responsibility and obligation to have the lots fully insured while in their possession. Bidder assumes any and all risk of loss upon the earlier of shipment to Bidder or in Bidder’s possession.

4.6 Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction a lien consisting of a senior security interest (or purchase money security interest to the extent applicable) in such sums or items to the fullest extent applicable, authorizes RR Auction to file documents concerning the interest, and Bidder agrees to execute any further documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest. Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued fees and expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

4.7 By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. The authorized representative of any corporate Bidder who is present at the sale shall provide RR Auction or its agent, prior to the commencement of the bidding (or at the time of registration), with a statement signed by a principal, director or officer that they he or she personally and unconditionally guarantees any payment due RR Auction.

4.8 RR Auction may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors and/or prospective Bidders.

Section 5 Bidding Options 5.1 Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to in-person, facsimile, phone and mail bids) are treated similarly to floor bids in that they must be on-increment. Any in-person, facsimile, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full increment and this revised amount will be considered Bidder’s high bid.

5.2 When identical bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at RR Auction’s place of business at least twenty-four (24) hours before the Auction start. RR Auction is not responsible for executing mail bids or facsimile bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is RR Auction responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins.

5.3 In all Auctions, bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10%, or as specified on a per-Auction basis. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted. In a live sale, bids on an item can change at the discretion of RR Auction.

5.4 RR Auction reserves the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced.

Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless RR Auction directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). For live auctions, RR Auction will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. RR Auction will determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale, or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions.

If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

Section 6 Payment 6.1 Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than sixty (60) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder.

6.2 Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice.

RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date.

In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot.

6.3 All sales for total invoices greater than $1,000 are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders), and are subject to all reporting requirements.

6.4 All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in RR Auction’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. RR Auction reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten (10) calendar day hold, and ten (10) business days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via e-Check, personal or corporate checks.

6.5 In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If Bidder attempts to pay via check and the financial institution denies the transfer from Bidder’s bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, Bidder agrees to complete payment.

6.7 If RR Auction refers any unpaid invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay and shall be liable for RR Auction’s attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction in addition to the invoice amount and interest the greater of 1.5% per month or at the maximum legally allowable rate from date of invoice to collection. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys.

6.8 RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder (as well as to the extent it is a consignor any other monies owed or due to Bidder) to secure payment of the Auction invoice. RR Auction is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the Bidder then held by RR Auction or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due RR Auction or affiliates from the Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, RR Auction shall have all the rights of a secured creditor, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the Bidder waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against RR Auction and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice (the Consignor”). If a Bidder owes RR Auction or its affiliates on any account, RR Auction and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in their possession.

6.9 All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. RR Auction clients with an invoice totaling $1,000 or under will have the option to pay by VISA, Mastercard, Discover or Paypal. All Paypal payments must be sent to FinanceDepartment@rrauction.com. Authorize.net, a third-party service provider contracted by RR Auction for processing on-line payments, charges a nonrefundable service fee of 3%, which will be added to your final invoice should you pay by credit/debit card.

Section 7

Sales Tax RR Auction is a remote seller and we are now required to collect Sales/Use Tax from our bidders. The states that we have nexus in we will be required to collect and remit sales tax on your behalf. Each state has different requirements to meet nexus. When RR Auction has achieved a certain monetary and/or invoice threshold in each state we will apply sales tax to your total invoice. Please go to our terms on our website to see the states that are affected.

If we have not achieved nexus in a particular state it is still your responsibility to pay sales tax on your purchases.

The sales tax rate is determined by the State, Country, and City where purchases are shipped to. If you decide to pick up your purchases at our New Hampshire location you will not be required to pay sales tax. The State of New Hampshire does not have a general sales and use tax. All purchases picked up at our Massachusetts location will be taxed at the current rate of 6.25%.

Pennsylvania sales or use tax may be due in connection with the purchase and delivery of tangible personal property to Pennsylvania individuals and businesses. The purchaser is required to file a use tax return if tax is due in connection with the purchase and delivery in the Commonwealth. This notice is required pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Reform Code of 1971. 72 P.S. ¤ 7213.2.

If you have a resale number please email Sue@RRAuction.com or fax to (603) 732-4288 a copy of your state resale certificate and you will be exempt from paying sales tax.

Section 8 Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges Bidder is liable for shipping and handling and providing accurate information as to shipping or delivery locations and arranging for such. RR Auction is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction.

Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified Customs declarations, to RR Auction for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price and RR Auction shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Bidders on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs.

Section 9 Title Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices of Bidder (including those pertaining to the item(s) at issue) and amounts owed to RR Auction are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.

Section 10 Rights Reserved RR Auction reserves the right, at any time before, during or after an auction has ended to: withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction, cancel any bid, and/or to postpone the Auction of all or any lots or parts thereof, for any reason. RR Auction shall not be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal, cancellation, or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone at any time.

Section 11 Conducting the Auction 11.1 RR Auction reserves the right to postpone the Auction or any session thereof for a reasonable period of time for any reason whatsoever, and no Bidder or prospective Bidder shall have any claim as a result thereof, including consequential damages.

11.2 RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments. RR Auction has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auction has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful Bidder in the event of a dispute between Bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auctions record of final sale shall be conclusive. RR Auction also may reject any bid if RR Auction decides either that any bid is below the reserve of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced by RR Auction at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale.

11.3 Reserves Lots may be subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot

will not be sold. Consignors may not bid on their own lots or property. RR Auction may, from time to time, bid on items that it does not own. RR Auction may execute bids consecutively or otherwise up to one bid increment below the reserve.

11.4 Off-Site Bidding Bidding by telephone, facsimile, online, or absentee bidding (advance written bids submitted by mail) are offered solely as a convenience and permitted subject to advance arrangements, availability, and RR Auction’s approval which shall be exercised at RR Auction’s sole discretion. Neither RR Auction nor its agents or employees shall be held liable for the failure to execute bids or for errors relating to any transmission or execution thereof. In order to be considered for off-site bidding in any manner, Bidders must comply with all of these Conditions of Sale and the terms contained on the Registration Form.

11.5 Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 732-4280.

The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading).

11.6 Owned or Guaranteed Property: RR Auction generally offers property consigned by others for sale at public auction; in very limited occasion, lots are offered that are the property of RR Auction.

11.7 Before the Auction: Bidder may attend pre-sale viewing for all of RR Auction’s auctions at no charge. All property to be auctioned is usually on view for several days prior to the sale. Bidder is encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. Bidder may also request condition reports (see below). RR Auction’s staff are available at viewings and by appointment.

11.8 Maximum Bids In All Auctions: To maximize Bidder’s chance of winning, RR Auction strongly encourages the use of maximum bids. RR Auction will then bid for Bidder until the lot reaches Bidder’s specified maximum. Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, non-incremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the under Bidder’s bid.

11.9 Successful Bids: The fall of RR Auction’s hammer indicates the final bid. RR Auction will record the paddle number of the Bidder. If Bidder’s salesroom or absentee bid is successful, Bidder will be notified after the sale by mailed or emailed invoice.

11.10 Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. RR Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.

11.11 Bidding in Timed Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.

RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm EST/EDT, that lot is awarded to Bidder. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm EST/EDT will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm EST/ EDT or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm EST/EDT, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm EST/EDT, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot (the “30 Minute Rule”). The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the Auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm EST/EDT. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the high Bidder, raising Bidder’s maximum bid will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the Auction at any time at its sole discretion.

11.12 Bidding - Internet Live Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.

To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.

RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

During live internet or live auction, property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute a bid or bids (successively or otherwise) on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. All auctions for lots are with reserve unless specifically stated otherwise.

During live Auctions, internet bids can be placed in real time through one or more of the following Third Party services: www.liveauctioneers.com, www.invaluable.com and www.icollector.com. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. RR Auction treats any third-party site bids as floor or telephone bids. Floor bids and telephone bids are always considered first over third party sites bids, and floor bids are considered earlier than telephone bids. All RR Auction lots purchased through the third-party sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium.

11.13 Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a non-sale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement.

Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with ”do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available.

11.14 Rules of Construction: RR Auction presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions. Nothing herein shall be construed to waive the general Conditions of Sale by these additional rules and shall be construed to give force and effect to the rules in their entirety.

Section 12 RR Auction’s Remedies Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of material breach or default. In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any Bidder’s property in RR Auction’s possession or to which title has not yet passed to Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Section 13 Warranties 13.1 RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold ”as is” and “where is”. By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights)

related to the item, or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

13.2 All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Terminology), authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in the Catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a good faith effort made by RR Auction to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein; they are statements of opinion only. They are not representations or warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the Auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices.

13.3 Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each lot prior to bidding, and RR Auction urges Bidders to avail themselves accordingly.

13.4 All lots sold by RR Auction are accompanied by an Auction Certificate (“AC”). On any lot presented with an AC issued by RR Auction, the certification is only as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage and only as explicitly stated therein (the “AC”), to the exclusion of any other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to those pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The AC inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the AC and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void.

Section 14 Firearms RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm.

Section 15 Unauthorized Statements Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR Auction authorized

by RR Auction to modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on a registration form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed Bidder and by an authorized officer of RR Auction by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied upon by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction.

Section 16 Bidder’s Remedies 16.1 Except as stated expressly herein, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy related to or pertaining to items it bids upon, views, or purchases from RR Auction, and any claims by Bidder related to authenticity, ownership, condition, title or value, shall be against Consignor only.

16.2 This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, officers, managers, employees or agents), or in any way arising out of, related to, or in connection with these Conditions of Sale, , and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law. Time is of the essence with respect to these procedures.

(1) If Bidder wishes to dispute or challenge the Authenticity of the lot or item (including asserting that it is incorrect), Bidder must adhere to the following procedure: Within 30 days of the Auction Date, Bidder must present written evidence to RR Auction, that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field (and one recognized by RR Auction within its discretion) and send the physical item or lot at issue to RR Auction along with all evidence relied upon by Bidder for contesting the Authenticity. (“Authenticity Challenge Process”) “Authenticity” shall mean a gross discrepancy in the between the description, genuiness, or attribution of the item as represented by RR Auction in the Catalog or at the auction, and the item. If RR Auction concurs that the lot is not Authentic as was represented (it is sole discretion), Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, agents, employees, and contractors) shall be a refund of the purchase price of the subject item paid

by Bidder, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable by Bidder. If RR Auction does not agree with the assertion by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale. Strict adherence to the Authenticity Challenge Process is a condition of standing for Bidder to initiate suit or claim.

(2) So long as Bidder has complied with the Authenticity Challenge Process, any claim, suit or action, by Bidder concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity, or related to the authenticity of the item must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Auction Date and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

16.5 Other Issues. Any dispute or claim by Bidder against RR Auction (or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors)) other than Authenticity, concerning any item or lot bid upon, or purchased, including value, title, condition, bidding process, or description must be asserted (if at all) in the following manner: (1) If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially or grossly incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), or there is any other gross material issue pertaining to the item or lot, the item or lot may be returned if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received

by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date with explanation in writing.. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and a certificate of auction, then the description in the certificate of auction (“Lot Challenge Process”). This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received by RR Auction within the period of time stated herein or not materially or grossly in deviation from the description.

Such a refund is subject to RR Auction’s sole discretionary review, and any request for refund must be made concurrently with returning the physical item or lot to RR Auction. Any item not returned within said frame will constitute acceptance of the item and a waiver and release of any and all claims by Bidder pertaining to the item other than with respect to authenticity; and (2) Provided that the Bidder has engaged in the Lot Challenge Process, any claim concerning such must be brought no later than one (1) year of the Auction Date for the item or lot at issue and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED OR PROVIDED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BIDDERS OR AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SUCH SHALL BE A COMPLETE DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIMS BY BIDDER RELATED TO THE CONDITIONS OF SALE, ANY AUCTION OR BID.

16.6 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. For any and all claims by Bidder arising out of or related to this Agreement, Bidder’s viewing, bid, or purchase of items, or any agreement between the Parties, or otherwise, Bidder agrees that to the fullest extent such can be limited under the law, Bidder shall have no right to recover and hereby waives any and all rights to recover from against RR Auction or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors, consequential or indirect damages, lost profits damages, punitive, exemplary, statutory (or multiplier damages), physical or emotional distress damages, general or special damages of any kind (beyond amounts actually paid by Bidder for item(s) at issue), and in the event of recovery of any damages whatsoever, such shall be limited by the amounts actually paid

by Bidder to RR Auction for the item(s) at issue in such claim, or if no money was paid to RR Auction by Bidder for items at issue, or there items are at issue, the amount of $150.00.

Section 17

16.3 Title to Items

RR Auction’s Additional Services

The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, satisfactory to the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction may make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other amounts paid or due to RR Auction). Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand (if any made), RR Auction may disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and may assign to Bidder all or some of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property.

Upon such disclosure and/or assignment, all responsibility and liability of RR Auction, if any, with respect to said lot or item shall automatically terminate related to or arising from these Conditions of Sale or such transaction operating as a complete waiver and general release

by Bidder as to RR Auction and its agents, contractors, and affiliates, as to any and all claims concerning or related to the item, if any . RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction by Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances.

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.

16.4 Authenticity Challenge Process

Entire Agreement

Section 18 Headings Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret the substantive sections to which they refer.

Section 19

Except to the extent Bidder is also a consignor (in which case the terms of the consignment

agreement shall also govern), these Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement between the Parties together with the terms and conditions contained in the auction Registration Form. They may not be amended, modified or superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties. No oral or written statement by anyone employed by RR Auction or acting as agent or representative of RR Auction may amend, modify, waive or supersede the terms herein unless such amendment, waiver or modification is contained in a writing signed by all parties.

If any section of these Conditions of Sale or any term or provision of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, the remaining parts of the agreement and remainder of the sections or terms and provisions of the section and all sections shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

Section 20 Governing Law and Enforcement 20.1 The Parties agree that all agreements between the Parties including but not limited to these Conditions of Sale are entered into in Boston, Massachusetts, no matter where Bidder is situated and no matter by what means or where Bidder was informed of the Auction and regardless of whether catalogs, materials, or other communications were received by Bidder in another location.

20.2 The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, any other related agreement(s), along with all claims between the Parties, including those arising out of or related to such are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles. The Parties agree that any dispute between the Parties, including but not limited to those related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale, or related to or arising out of any other related agreement(s) shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration (the ”Arbitration”) before a single Arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) The Parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the AAA in Boston, Massachusetts, unless the Consumer Arbitration Rules apply, in which case, such rules and venue will govern. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall also recover all of its related fees and costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, if RR Auction prevails, such recovery, in addition to all remedies available at agreement or law, shall include the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. Federal arbitration law, including the Federal Arbitration Act apply to this agreement to arbitrate and its related provisions. The arbitration and all related proceedings shall be held strictly confidential and all documents and discovery shall be held confidential and not used, published or disclosed publically or to anyone outside the Parties or expert consultants or counsel who shall agree to hold such confidential.

20.3 The Parties consent to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all claims between the Parties except as provided specifically herein and may seek confirmation of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in any Court of competent jurisdiction, including the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. To the extent such is necessary under the law, RR Auction may enforce the Arbitration award against Bidder and any related Party in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as RR Auction consenting to jurisdiction or venue in any location outside of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

THE PARTIES MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER AS A CLASS OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLAIMED CLASS, OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE ACTION UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED, THE CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OF THE OTHER CANNOT BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED WITH MORE THAN ONE ADDITIONAL PERSON OR ENTITIES’ CLAIMS. NO INJUNCTIVE OR DECLATORY RELIEF SOUGHT BY BIDDER IF ANY, CAN AFFECT OR BE ORDERED TO AFFECT ANY OTHER BIDDERS OR PERSONS. 20.4 Except as provided specifically in these Conditions of Sale in Bidder’s Remedies against RR Auction (along with its affiliates, directors, agents, officers, employees, and contractors) for any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other related agreement(s), brought by Bidder must be brought within the earlier of the Auction Date as it pertains to the item(s) at issue or no later than one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances occurred giving rise to the alleged claim, without exception. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute bar to and release of any claims by Bidder initiated after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-actions brought by Bidder.

These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale.

20.5 To the fullest extent under applicable law and except as specifically stated herein Bidder hereby holds harmless, releases and discharges RR Auction and its agents, officer’s directors, affiliates, successors, and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, damages, causes of action, suits, demands, losses, debts, and expenses of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected existing prior to these Conditions of Sale. Bidder agrees to the Conditions of Sale and upon each instance that Bidder participates in any auction, bids, or otherwise agrees to such terms and reaffirms this release as of the date of so participating or agreeing unless Bidder otherwise provides clear written notice to RR Auction prior to so bidding.

20.6 The Bidder hereby agrees that RR Auction shall be entitled to present these Conditions of Sale to a court in any jurisdiction other than set forth in this paragraph as conclusive evidence of the Parties agreement, and the Parties further agree that the court shall immediately dismiss any action filed in such jurisdiction.

20.7 Liquidated Damages for Specific Breaches In the event that Bidder provides false information in connection with registering for bidding, fails to correct or update information or breaches the Conditions of Sale by failing to pay the purchase price when due after becoming the winning bidder, as liquidated damages associated with such breaches, R&R may obtain from Bidder the greater of (1) 150% the reserve of the item (if any); (2) the amount bidder bid; or (3), the full amount that bidder would have otherwise paid. Bidder will also be liable for an additional 20% of such amount to account for additional administrative costs, shipping, additional advertising, and other damages and liabilities fees that are difficult to calculate on an item-by-item basis.

20.8 Indemnity. Bidder agrees to defend, indemnify, hold harmless RR Auction (along with its officers, directors, agents, contractors, and affiliates) from and against any and all claims, costs, fees, damages, and liabilities arising out of or related to these Conditions of Sale, view of items, or lots, bidding, or participation in any auction by RR Auction, and/or or in any way connected to any item you viewed, bid upon or purchased through RR Auction.

Section 21: State-by-State Law Issues This Auction is being conducted in and the sale shall take place in the State of Massachusetts. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, should these terms and conditions violate the law of any State should that state’s law be found to govern, or any provision herein determined to be invalid, the clause itself and the remainder of the Agreement shall be valid to the fullest extent allowed. Also, to the extent other states law apply to any transaction arising out of the Agreement (without admitting such), RR Auction states: For Residents of California: SALE OF AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLES: AS REQUIRED BY LAW, A DEALER WHO SELLS TO A CONSUMER ANY COLLECTIBLE DESCRIBED AS BEING AUTOGRAPHED MUST PROVIDE A WRITTEN EXPRESS WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF SALE. THIS DEALER MAY BE SURETY BONDED OR OTHERWISE INSURED TO ENSURE THE AUTHENTICITY OF ANY AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLE SOLD BY THIS DEALER. A written express warranty is provided with each autographed collectible, as required by law.

This dealer may be surety bonded or otherwise insured to ensure the authenticity of any autographed collectible sold by this dealer.

Section 22 Glossary of Condition terms Information provided to prospective Bidders with respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by RR Auction.

Use of the following terms constitutes an opinion as follows: VERY FINE describes an item believed to be in virtually flawless condition, and is used sparingly for items of exceptionally attractive appearance.

FINE is the most common statement of condition, and applies to most items that we offer.

It describes items that we believe to show expected handling wear, generally acceptable random flaws (such as light creases, small bends, etc.), and an overall appearance that is pleasing to the majority of collectors.

VERY GOOD describes an item that we believe exhibits more moderate flaws (such as toning, light staining, professional reinforcements or repairs, etc.). Most collectors would be comfortable with items in very good condition, and this would be the expected condition for many formats (early presidential documents, for example).

GOOD describes an item which we believe to have obvious visible flaws, including heavy wear, missing portions, or repairs that affect appearance; generally items in this condition are offered only if an item is otherwise believed to be exceedingly rare or important.

Bidder may call and request further details and information about RR Auction’s opinions concerning any item via phone or email which shall provided in RR Auction’s discretion.

Certificate of Auction, Certificate of Authenticity and Goods Acquired: Bidder warrants that Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall not purposely deface, destroy, dismember, cut-up into parts the item or Lot purchased at auction from RR Auction and in the event such shall occur whether purposefully or accidently, Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall refrain from advertising, promoting, or marketing the item as having been purchased from RR Auction and shall in no event display, expressly claim, or imply that the item was certified or auctioned in such state by RR Auction. As liquidated damages for such breach, Bidder agrees to be liable to RR Auction for the greater of the amount of three (3) times the hammer price of the item along with all other fees and costs as otherwise provided in this Terms of Sale.
