The ‘Data Domain’ Apple-1 Computer, signed by Steve Wozniak— a functional demo unit from a pioneering computer retailer

3001. Apple-1 Computer Signed by Steve Wozniak. H Highly sought-after fully functional ‘Byte

Shop’–style Apple-1 computer (also commonly known as the Apple I, or Apple Computer 1), complete with all components and accessories required for operation.

This computer was originally used as a demonstration system at the Data Domain computer store in Columbus, Indiana, in 1977, before being given to the original owner in 1978. Prior to its auction last year, this was an ‘undiscovered’ one-owner Apple-1 that had not been logged in the Apple-1 Registry and had never been offered for sale, nor known to the Apple-1 collector community; it is now logged as #100 in the Apple-1 Registry.

This Apple-1 computer was initially brought to an operational state by Daniel Kottke, Apple Computer employee #12, in 2019. Apple-1 expert Corey Cohen performed additional restoration of the Apple-1 board and the ACI in November 2022 to correct a known reliability issue with the original cassette interface design. A comprehensive, technical condition report and proof-of-life video prepared by Cohen is available to qualified bidders. Videos of Woz signing the board, Kottke performing the initial restoration, and the computer successfully operating are available.

The set includes: • original Apple-1 board, signed in black enamel paint marker by Steve Wozniak, and marked with “01-0064” on the back • original Apple Cassette Interface (ACI) board • original period case from the ‘Data Domain’ store, with original power supply and original rare Clare-Pendar ASCII keyboard • unbound copies of the 2nd versions of the .Apple-1 Operation Manual and Preliminary Apple Basic User’s Manual • bound original Apple Cassette Interface Manual • period-correct Panasonic RQ3109DS portable cassette tape recorder • compatible Panasonic TR-930U CRT monitor • iPod Touch (7th Generation) and associated cables, containing Apple-1 software audio files and videos showing Steve Wozniak signing this Apple-1 and former Apple employee Daniel Kottke performing the original restoration

Also accompanied by a lengthy, detailed provenance statement from the original owner, whose early exposure to computing with this Apple-1 laid the foundation for a career in software development and hardware research and design.

The Apple-1 was originally conceived by Steve Jobs and Steve ‘Woz’ Wozniak as a bare circuit board to be sold as a kit and completed by electronics hobbyists, their initial market being Palo Alto’s Homebrew Computer Club. Seeking a larger audience, Jobs approached Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world. Aiming to elevate the computer beyond the realm of the hobbyist, Terrell agreed to purchase 50 Apple-1 computers, but only if they were fully assembled.

The Apple-1 thus became one of the first ‘personal’ computers which did not require soldering by the end user.

In the summer of 1976, Data Domain, a pioneering computer shop—believed to have been the first retailer to use the phrase ‘personal computer’—also became one of Apple’s first four dealers. The firm’s founder, Ray Borrill, recalled his first conversation with Steve Jobs: ‘He went into his spiel about what a great computer he had since there was no assembly required (a slight exaggeration since one had to wire a power supply, keyboard cable, display monitor and some other ancillary stuff, then find a way to package it all up nicely). But Jobs was a good talker and we needed some more products to sell. So, as was routine in those early days, I ordered 15

Apple I computers with the optional cassette interface card, sight unseen, on the word of a guy I had never met or heard of.’ All together, over a span of about ten months, Jobs and Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers and sold 175 of them.

Based on installed components, this Apple-1 appears to be a later pre-NTI board from between the initial Byte Shop delivery and the move to NTI-produced PC boards. This Apple-1 has the original rare white Synertek C6502 microprocessor in good condition with very minor corrosion on the top cap. On the left side, the board is marked: “Apple Computer 1, Palo Alto, Ca. Copyright 1976.” The reverse is marked in black felt tip, “01-0064.” There is a single minor repair by Dan Kottke on the reverse side to patch a cut trace. A few minor modifications have been made to the prototyping area of the board, including the addition of an orange socket, some minor soldering re-work on the front side, as well as a few missing and lifted solder pads in the prototyping area only. Finally, there is minimal peeling of the green solder-mask coat on the reverse side, due to normal heat from power-supply components.

Presented in its period case, as used at one of the pioneering computer retailers that helped to bring about the personal computer revolution, this is an exceptional and historic example of an Apple-1 Computer.

3004. Apple II Bare Logic Board. Very early Apple II bare logic board (green), 14.25˝ x 8.5˝, featuring the “Apple Computer, Inc.” logo with a copyright date of 1978, hand-marked “ERIC” in the upper left corner. The part number, “820-0001-04,” corresponds with the Apple II revision 4.

The early success of the Apple-1 in 1976 paved the way for the introduction of the Apple II in the spring of 1977. In Apple’s 1980 IPO prospectus, the company described its progress: ‘In April 1977 the Company introduced the Apple II computer mainframe which was similar to the Apple I but incorporated additional circuitry and a keyboard, and was packaged in a plastic housing.’ In other words, the Apple II built upon the Apple-1 to become an even more capable, more consumer-ready machine.

Between 1977 and 1980, on the sales of the Apple II and its peripherals, accessories, and software, Apple Computer’s yearly revenue grew from $774,000 to $118 million, making it one of the great growth stories of Silicon Valley. Starting Bid $200

It is further accompanied by two Apple II Hand Controllers (Model A2M0007) in their original box, two additional Apple game paddles, Apple Pascal software, Computereyes/2 video digitizer hardware and software, several games including a Pac Man floppy disk, and several manuals and user guides. Also accompanied by an original invoice from “Video Games & Computers, 301 Balboa St., San Francisco,” dated March 24, 1979, listing the “16K Apple” plus software and upgrades, totaling over $2,300, plus the original boxes for the Apple II computer and one of the Disk II drives (both exhibiting wear and damage, with one panel of the Apple II box missing). In fine cosmetic condition. The early success of the Apple-1 in 1976 paved the way for the introduction of the Apple II in the spring of 1977.

Scarce ‘Darth Vader’ Apple II Plus— “Made exclusively for Bell & Howell

by Apple Computer, Inc.” 3010. Apple II Plus Computer: Scarce Bell & Howell ‘Darth Vader’ or ‘Black Apple’ Variant. Scarce Apple II Plus computer (Model

No. A2S1048B, Serial No. A2S3-017219), popularly known as the ‘Darth Vader’ or ‘Black Apple’ model due to its distinctive dark case, produced for Bell & Howell under a special license to be sold in educational markets. The computer is upgraded with a Saturn 32k RAM expansion card, Hayes Micromodem II (not complete), Apple parallel interface card, Disk II controller card, and Viewmax 80 card. The set includes a pair of Apple Disk II Drives (Model A2M0003) in their matching black Bell & Howell cases, and a standard Panasonic TR930B 9” Video Monitor. Both the computer and the disk drives bear co-branded labels: “Made exclusively for Bell & Howell by Apple Computer, Inc.” The system boots up and is in fine cosmetic condition.

The Bell & Howell Apple II is quite scarce and sought-after by collectors, given its eye-catching color—introduced in 1979, this was the only black computer manufactured by Apple until the release of the Macintosh TV in 1993. Modifications for the Bell & Howell unit allowed it to be UL-certified—a safety necessity for sales to some school districts.

By allowing Bell & Howell to sell their modified product, Apple was able to succeed in the educational market. Starting Bid $200

3011. Apple III Computer with Apple Disk III, Apple Softcard III System (unopened), and an Apple III Business Basic Software Package.

3012. Apple IIe ‘Super II’ Prototype Logic Board (1981). Rare Apple IIe prototype logic board #90 (of approximately 100 known to be made), known as the ‘Super II,’ marked on the edge with a 1981 copyright date and part/serial numbers, “SK4501-10, 620-XXXX-.” This unreleased prototype predates the release of the retail Apple IIe by two years, developed primarily to stop clone makers from copying Apple’s design. The board is marked with the names of designers Walt Broedner and John MacPhee below the Apple Computer, Inc. logo. Several of the chip sockets are unpopulated. Ultimately released as the third model in the Apple II series in January 1983, the Apple IIe was manufactured and sold for nearly 11 years with relatively few changes, giving it the distinction of being the longest-lived computer in Apple’s history. Starting Bid $200

Functional Apple Lisa 2/10— the feature-rich predecessor of the Macintosh

3015. Functional Apple Lisa 2/10 Computer With Original Box. Desirable working Apple Lisa 2/10 computer, with

Apple label reading: “Serial No: A4193593, Applenet No: 00110676, Manufactured: 4193.” Includes its original box, labeled with the matching serial number. The computer remains in working condition. Complete with a keyboard and mouse.

The Apple Lisa 2/10, released in 1984, boasted advanced features that were revolutionary for its time. Its 12-inch monochrome display with a resolution of 720x364 pixels offered crisp and clear graphics, setting new standards for graphical user interfaces.

The Lisa 2/10 was equipped with an impressive 5-megahertz Motorola 68000 processor, delivering robust performance for its era.

This computer holds a special place in computing history not only for its technological advancements but also due to its limited production run. Apple produced a relatively small number of Lisa 2/10 units, estimated to be around 10,000. This exclusivity contributes to its desirability among collectors and technology enthusiasts. The Lisa 2/10 was primarily intended for business and professional use, offering powerful capabilities for tasks such as document creation, spreadsheet analysis, and graphical presentations. It was often utilized in corporate environments and educational institutions, where its advanced graphical user interface and productivity software made it an attractive choice for those seeking a more intuitive computing experience. Today, the Apple Lisa 2/10 remains a sought-after piece of computing history, embodying the pioneering spirit that revolutionized personal computing as we know it. Starting Bid $500

3016. Apple Lisa Pascal Workshop 3.0 Sealed Software and Guides. Uncommon

factory-sealed Apple Lisa Pascal Workshop 3.0 software and reference material, comprising three binders housed in their original slipcase.

The binders are labeled “Lisa Systems Software,” “Lisa Language,” and “Lisa Workshop User’s Guide,” with sealed contents including the right floppy discs for “Lisa Pascal Workshop 3.0,” plus reference notes and user guides: “Release 3.0 Notes,” “Lisa Pascal 3.0 Systems Software,” “Workshop 3.0 Release Notes,” “Developer’s Handbook,” “Workshop User’s Guide for the Lisa,” “Release 3.0 Notes for the Pascal Reference Manual for the Lisa,” “Pascal Reference Manual,” and “Motorola M68000 16/32-Bit Microprocessor Programmer’s Reference Manual.”

The exterior slipcover is worn with a few edge tears, but the inner contents remain in fine, unused condition. Starting Bid $200

3017. Apple Lisa Software Suite including Pascal, with 5.25” and 3.5” Floppy Disks. Large lot of soft-

ware for the innovative Apple Lisa desktop computer, highlighted by eleven slipcased binders containing manuals and 5.25˝ diskettes for: Lisa Pascal (three disks in three binders), LisaDraw, LisaWrite, LisaTerminal, LisaCalc, LisaProject, LisaGraph, LisaGuide, and LisaList. Additionally includes 3.5˝ floppy disks for the essentially same group of software: LisaDraw, LisaWrite 1 and 2, LisaTerminal, LisaCalc, LisaProject, LisaGraph, LisaGuide, LisaList, and Lisa OfficeSystem 1–5. Also includes two Lisa 2 Owner’s Guides, and a Lisa ProFile Owner’s Manual, both in slipcased binders, as well as some affiliated packing slips, software registration cards, and installation instruction sheets. In overall very good to fine condition. The inclusion of both 5.25˝ and 3.5˝ disks for most of this software is representative of the evolution of the Lisa: the computer was originally issued with dual ‘Twiggy’ 5.25˝ drives, which were expensive to produce and often faulty. Recognizing this flaw, Apple gave existing owners of the Lisa 1 the opportunity to upgrade, free of cost, to a single 400K Sony 3.5˝ microfloppy drive, which was then used in the Lisa 2.

The M0110’s successor, the Apple M0110A, integrated the numeric keypad, making the M0120 redundant. The M0120P is distinguished from the M0120 by its use of symbols, rather than text, for the “Enter” and “Clear” keys. Complete with its original cable. Starting Bid $200

I thought it would be cool to have a clear mouse on my desk if I were to ever have a Mac so I asked for one. After moving back to Massachusetts, I finally got my Fat Mac and used the clear mouse for several years.’ Starting Bid $500

Rare in-house design mock-up of Apple’s VideoPad 2—a unique concept for an early ‘90s predecessor to the iPad 3033. Apple Videopad 2 Prototype Mock-Up. Unique

prototype mock-up of Apple’s proposed “VideoPad 2,” an early PDA concept developed under CEO John Sculley circa 1993–1995. The design model, which measures approximately 9˝ x 7˝ x 1.5˝ when closed, is constructed of heavy duty dark gray plastic and features a hinged flip top with space for a video screen, circular camera cutout, and holes representing two speakers on either side; the base carries a mock memory card slot, power socket, phone line input, audio and video jacks, and silver-papered touchscreen area, with Apple’s logo in the lower left corner. The product name, “VideoPad 2,” is lettered in white on the lid. Housed in a black leather pouch impressed with the Apple Newton lightbulb logo. In fine condition.

The VideoPad was intended as the sophisticated successor to the MessagePad, introducing video communications in a miniature notebook-style package. Three VideoPad variants were developed based on sketches made by John Sculley, who recognized the massive potential of portable devices and had overseen the introduction of the PowerBook and MessagePad. The VideoPad 2 would likely have run on Apple’s Newton OS, and its innovative functions may be ascertained by its design—real-time videoconferencing, a stylus-driven touchscreen with handwriting recognition, and expandable storage capacity. Many of these design cues would be adopted in Apple’s eMate 300, a Newton-based laptop-style PDA targeted at the education market. Although Steve Jobs axed

the VideoPad project on his return to Apple in 1997, its most notable feature (the front-facing camera), as well as its name, live on in the iPad—the world’s best-selling tablet.

Provenance: History of Science and Technology, Bonhams, November 3, 2021; their description states that this is the only surviving concept prototype for the VideoPad PDA and was purchased in Palo Alto from an Apple Engineer in 1999.

Rare prototype of the eMate 300— Apple’s only touchscreen laptop 3038. Apple eMate 300 Prototype - Apple’s Only Touchscreen Laptop. Circa 1997 prototype of the Apple

eMate 300, a Newton OS–based PDA in a laptop-style form factor, targeted at the education market and designed for use in classrooms. The device is housed in a playful translucent blue-green molded plastic casing with 6.8-inch grayscale touchscreen that folds up, revealing standard QWERTY keyboard with a stylus fitted above. Labeled on the bottom: “A2015, Prototype. Not For Resale,” with a note that it has not yet been approved by the FCC. The unit lacks the white “eMate 300” and “Newton” text on the case as seen on the retail version. In fine condition.

Although Jobs axed the Newton line in 1998, he had a special fondness for the eMate and had initially expected to continue its development, writing: ‘The Emate has a bright future.’

Ultimately, however, he realized that the organization’s entire focus had to be dedicated to extending the Macintosh operating system. When discontinuing development of the Newton platform, the company issued a statement: ‘Apple is committed to affordable mobile computing, pioneered by the eMate, and will be serving this market with Mac OS-based products beginning in 1999.’ One of the most unique-looking Apple products of its time, the eMate’s curvaceous clamshell

form factor—and colorful translucent casing—anticipate the later designs of the iMac G3 (1998) and iBook (1999), two of Apple’s great commercial successes spearheaded by Steve Jobs upon his return to the company. Apple prototypes are rare in the marketplace, and the eMate 300 represents an important step in the evolution of Apple’s portable devices.

Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM), Part No. M4934LL/A, Serial No. MW7463188HA, complete in its original packaging. Released by Apple in 1997 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the company’s founding and aimed at the executive market, the innovative computer boasted a $7,500 price tag and feature-packed performance that exceeded most personal computers of the era. The computer features a 250 MHz PowerPC 603ev processor, 32MB RAM, 2GB hard drive, built-in 12.1” Active Matrix display, and is running OS 8.5.1. The computer has undergone the ‘FatBac’ upgrade with ‘hunchback’ rear cover (adding an ethernet port in the back), but the original slim cover is included. Tested to boot up and function; in fine cosmetic condition, with light overall wear from use.

This Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh set includes the computer with built-in 12.1” LCD screen, Bose speakers, and verticallymounted CD-ROM drive; keyboard with built-in trackpad, with small leather insert underneath; base unit power supply/subwoofer; remote control; cables; extra speaker grilles; and user’s manual. In spite of its feature-rich technology, the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh was met with slow sales—probably due to its price tag and limited means for expansion. However, its design proved influential in future product lines—until recently, modern iMacs featured vertically-oriented optical drives behind their LCD screens (similar to the floppy drive on the TAM), and the Magic Trackpad is offered as a popular peripheral (like the trackpad on the TAM keyboard).

rare unopened first generation, first release original Apple iPhone, Model A1203, Part No. MA501LL/A (4GB), Serial No. 7R734JHVVR0. The box features a life-size image of the iPhone with twelve icons on the screen, indicating that it is from the earliest production (2007); a 13th icon, for iTunes, came later in the year. The 4GB iPhone is the rarest of all original iPhones, as it was discontinued by Apple on September 5, 2007, just over two months after the pioneering product’s debut. Priced at $499, the 4GB iPhone model encountered lackluster sales as most consumers opted for the $100 upgrade to double its storage capacity to 8GB. In brand new, factory-sealed condition.

It put the internet into our pockets with the first full-featured mobile web browser, and essentially launched the market for apps with the introduction of the App Store, making third-party applications easy to access and download. The iPhone ushered in the modern age of the smartphone and catapulted Apple to the top of the charts as one of the world’s most valuable companies. Starting Bid $500

For each red iPod Nano sold in the United States, Apple donated $10 to the Product Red initiative—an organization raising funds to help eliminate HIV/AIDS in Africa—while retaining the regular price. On November 3, 2006, due to outstanding customer demand, Apple introduced this red 8GB model. Starting Bid $200

Introducing the portable player on September 5, 2007, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said: ‘We’ve taken the most popular music player in the world and added stunning video playback just in time for the holiday season…The iPod nano just keeps getting better and better with each new generation.’

Introduced on January 11, 2005, as the smallest member of the iPod family, the iPod Shuffle was Apple’s first iPod to use flash memory and takes the form factor of a USB thumbdrive—complete with removable cap. The iPod Shuffle’s success effectively made Apple the global leader in the flash player market, just as the hard disk–based iPod had done upon its introduction in 2001. In his September 2006 keynote presentation, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced that Apple had sold 10 million first-generation iPod Shuffles. Starting Bid $200

Development of the iPad began as early as 2002, and Steve Jobs told Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher that the idea for the iPhone actually came from the development of the iPad: “I’ll tell you a secret. It began with the tablet. I had this idea about having a glass display, a multitouch display you could type on with your fingers. I asked our people about it. And six months later, they came back with this amazing display. And I gave it to one of our really brilliant UI guys. He got [rubber

band] scrolling working and some other things, and I thought, ‘my God, we can build a phone with this!’ So we put the tablet aside, and we went to work on the iPhone.”

After the iPhone’s massively successful release in 2007, Apple’s engineers were free to return their focus to the tablet project—essentially bringing the iPhone’s intuitive multi-touch interface to a much larger display, allowing it to be used more like a laptop or netbook. When introducing the first iPad on January 27, 2010, Steve Jobs promised: “iPad is our most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price… iPad creates and defines an entirely new category of devices that will connect users with their apps and content in a much more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before.” Since that time, the iPad has become the best-selling tablet computer series in history, with over 670 million units sold.

Super early Apple Computer bank check—the third ever written— signed by “steven jobs” in March 1976, pre-dating the official founding of the company 3078. Steve Jobs Signed 1976 Apple Computer Check No. 3 - PSA GEM MINT 10. Wells Fargo bank check, 7.5 x 3, filled out and signed by Steve Jobs, “steven jobs,” payable to Elmar Electronics for $13.86, March 19, 1976. Drawn on the account of “Apple Computer,” penned in red ink in another hand, the check gives the fledgling firm’s address as the famed ‘Apple Garage’ property in Los Altos.

This temporary check, issued upon opening Apple’s first bank account, bears the same routing and account numbers as other early Apple Computer Company checks we have offered—those, however, date to July 1976 and are imprinted with Apple’s first official address at ‘770 Welch Rd., Ste. 154, Palo Alto’—the location of an answering service and mail drop that they used while still operating out of the famous Jobs family garage. In fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “GEM MT 10.”

Marked as check “No. 3,” this ultra-early check pre-dates the official founding of Apple Computer, Inc.—some thirteen days later, on April 1, 1976, co-founders Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne would sign the partnership agreement that officially brought Apple Computer into existence. In March 1976, the month of this check, Wozniak had completed work on an innovative microcomputer design—now known as the Apple-1 Computer—and Jobs suggested that they sell it. Based on the early date, this check for $13.86 to Elmar Electronics—an electronics distribution house with locations in Palo Alto and Mountain View, California—likely represents payment for component parts affiliated with the first Apple-1 prototypes. Elmar was also offering microcomputer courses and seminars at the time, on subjects including Intel memory, the Motorola 6800 processor, and microprocessor programming. Boasting the GEM MINT autograph of Steve Jobs, this is a superior and historic example of a remarkably early Apple Computer check. Starting Bid $5,000

30 years before the iPhone, Steve Jobs pays Apple Computer’s $200 telephone bill 3079. Steve Jobs Signed ‘Apple Computer Company’ Check to Pacific Telephone (July 8, 1976) - PSA GEM MT 10. Apple Computer Company check, 6 x 3, filled out

in type and signed by Jobs, “steven jobs,” payable to Pacific Telephone for $201.41, July 8, 1976. Headed “Apple Computer Company,” the check uses Apple’s first official address at “770 Welch Rd., Ste. 154, Palo Alto” — the location of an answering service and mail drop that they used while still operating out of the famous Jobs family garage. In very fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “GEM MT 10.” A desirable Jobs-signed check paying Apple Computer’s telephone bill some 31 years before the release of the first iPhone on June 29, 2007.

During this period in the summer of 1976, roughly four months after founding the Apple Computer Company, Jobs and Wozniak were hard at work building their first product. Though initially conceived as a kit to be soldered together by the end user—like most enthusiast computers of the era—the Apple-1 became a finished product at the behest of Paul Terrell, owner

of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world. Terrell offered to buy 50 of the computers—at a wholesale price of $500 a piece, to retail at $666.66—but only if they came fully assembled.

With this request, Terrell aimed to elevate the computer from the domain of the hobbyist/enthusiast to the realm of the mainstream consumer. Wozniak later placed Terrell’s purchase order in perspective: ‘That was the biggest single episode in all of the company’s history. Nothing in subsequent years was so great and so unexpected.’

Thus, the Apple-1 was one of the first completely assembled ‘personal’ computers that simply worked out of the box with a few accessories that could be purchased from a local electronics store (a power supply, case, keyboard, and monitor were not included). All together, over a span of 10 months or so, Jobs and Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers and sold 175 of them. A superb check signed by the innovative personal computing pioneer. Starting Bid $2,500

A would-be ‘Stevenote’ from April 1983 – Jobs declines an early keynote speaking engagement for an ASU ‘Computer Day’ as he preps for the launch of Macintosh 3081. Steve Jobs Typed Letter Signed (1983), Declining an Early Keynote Speaking Engagement.

TLS, signed “steve jobs,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Apple Computer Inc. letterhead, April 8, 1983. Letter to Kevin Kucera, chairman of the Computer Club at the American Graduate School of International Management (AGSIM), in full: “I very much appreciate your inviting me to be the keynote speaker for Computer Day this April. Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend due to prior commitments. I wish your club every success!” Includes the original Apple Computer mailing envelope. In fine condition.

‘Stevenotes,’ the iconic keynote speeches of Steve Jobs, were, for many, unmissable events. One man, one stage, conveying complex ideas simply and engagingly. Jobs spoke to a world beyond the tech realm, inviting all interested parties to see why Apple Computers stood at the forefront of innovation. Perhaps most exciting, Jobs’s speeches also served as unveilings for landmark Apple products like the iPod, iPhone, and Macbook Air. The first significant (and recorded) keynote speech delivered by Steve Jobs occurred when he introduced the Macintosh to Apple sales teams in Hawaii on October 23, 1983, exactly six months after AGSIM’s scheduled Computer Day. If he had accepted the AGSIM engagement, said speech would have been one of the earliest in Jobs’s prolific oratory career; his earliest known public speech, not recorded for television purposes, was in 1980 when he spoke at the PR agency of Regis McKenna, who was an early advisor to Apple and a mentor to Jobs.

“If you’re as good as you tell us you are (and we expect), your salary will increase”— fresh from Apple, Steve Jobs recruits for NeXT in January 1986 3084. Steve Jobs Typed Letter Signed - Early 1986 Employment Offer from the NeXT CEO - “If you’re as good as you tell us you are (and we expect), your salary will increase”. TLS signed “steven jobs,” one page, 8.5 x 11, NEXT letterhead, January 8, 1986. Letter to Caroline Rose, who was then working as a Macintosh document supervisor at Apple. In full: “We are pleased to extend the following offer of employment to you: - Salary of $50,000 /yr, paid monthly, in advance, on the first working day of each month. - A great benefits plan including major medical, dental, vision and prenatal. - An opportunity for you to purchase 1250 shares of Next, Inc. common stock at 50¢/ share ($625). - If you’re as good as you tell us you are (and we expect), your salary will increase to at least $60,000 by

February 1987 and $65,000 by August 1987. Caroline, we are all very excited about your joining the team. We think your contributions will be invaluable and look forward to working with you.” Above the line for the recruit’s signature is typed: “I accept this insanely great offer !!!”—“insanely great” being a famous Jobs-ism used to introduce the Macintosh in 1984.

The offer, which was accepted by Rose, was very unusual in that there was no job title, department, or specific areas of responsibility. In fine condition. Jobs had founded NeXT just four months earlier in September of 1985, and was still very much immersed in the company’s recruitment process at the time this particular letter was signed; interestingly, Rose was hired before Jobs commissioned graphic designer Paul Rand to design the company’s iconic logo.

Jobs takes his family to Pirates of the Caribbean, signs a ticket stub for a seat-swapping moviegoer 3085. Steve Jobs Signed Movie Ticket Stub. Ballpoint

signature, “Steve Jobs,” on the back of a 3.25 x 2 movie ticket stub from Century Cinema 16 in Mountain View, California, which was issued for a 7:35 PM showing of the Disney adventure film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl on August 23, 2003. In very good to fine condition, with a tear (made by the usher before signature) at the bottom touching, but not adversely affecting, the first letter of Jobs’ last name.

Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance from the original recipient: “Throughout my life, I only used and owned Apple computers. The adventure started when I was a teenager after my dad got our family an Apple //e on which I learned the basics of programming. Since then, I enjoyed using Apple computers throughout my education and professional life.

Between July 2002 and September 2003, I moved to the US to work in the Bay Area as a researcher at Stanford University.

Under the leadership of Steve Jobs, Apple was experiencing a remarkable resurgence, marked by the successful launch of iMac in 1998. The company was also starting to revolutionize the portable music industry with the introduction of iPod and the creation of the iTunes store, making this era a particularly exciting time for any Apple enthusiast.

As a fan of Apple, I couldn’t pass up the chance to visit the Infinite Loop campus store in Cupertino and grab a few souvenirs during my time working in the Bay Area. But nothing came close to the extraordinary encounter that awaited me on the evening of August 23, 2003, just one week before I would head back to Europe.

That evening, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was showing at Century Theatres on N Shoreline Blvd in Mountain View. I was seated at the back of the room patiently waiting for the movie to begin when a man accompanied by some children tapped on my shoulder and kindly asked me if I could move by one seat so that they could all comfortably sit

together. I gladly accepted and while I was moving, I suddenly realized that I had just spoken to Steve Jobs.

Being such an Apple enthusiast, it took me some time to recover from this surprise. I thought it would be wonderful to get an autograph from him. At that time, I was not aware that he was more than reluctant to accept such requests. Moreover, I did not want to potentially upset him before he could happily enjoy the movie, so I chose to wait until we were leaving the room to address him. Today I still remember the exact words I had prepared in my head to be as respectful as possible and they were: ‘Mr. Jobs, would you do me a favor? I am a big fan of Apple, and I would like to know if you would accept to sign an autograph for me?’ His response was ‘Sure’ and as I had no paper on me, the only thing I could hand him was a pen and my movie ticket that he signed in the palm of his hand.

Expressing sincere gratitude, I warmly thanked him and exited the room with immense joy.

I have kept this precious and exceptional autograph carefully for the past 20 years. In retrospect, I think it’s fortunate that it was signed on this movie ticket. First, it’s precisely dated and used, making it more vibrant and livelier than if it had been signed on a random piece of paper. Second, it’s quite unique compared to the few other known autographs of Mr. Jobs as it illustrates another important facet of his life. Indeed, we all know him for his role as Apple CEO and for his genius in designing remarkable products. In the first decade of the 21st century, one could argue that he was at the pinnacle of his creativity, and by 2003, the concept of the iPhone, destined to revolutionize the phone and mobile communication industry, was certainly already germinating in his mind. But on that precise evening of August 23rd, 2003, as busy as he was, he was simply relaxing and enjoying family time watching the movie Pirates of the Caribbean I with his children, adding a palpable human touch to this movie ticket and autograph.”

Rare, early “Apple II Mini Manual” given by Jobs and Woz to the creator of Pong 3113. Allan Alcorn: Apple II Owners Manual, Given

by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Pong creator Allan

Alcorn’s original, early “Apple II Mini Manual,” given to him

by Apple founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak upon the computer’s release in 1977, comprising an introductory section (“Getting Started With Your Apple II Board”) followed by sections on software, hardware, and demo tape program listings. The 68-page manual is bound in a simple red cardstock folder, 9 x 11.5, with a full-color cardstock ad/technical specification sheet in the front, mentioning the availability of “Games like Pong or Startrek.” Notably, the “Demo Tape Program Listings” section includes “Breakout” and “Pong With Bricks”—demonstrating the product’s origins and affiliation with Atari. The Apple II computer was originally bundled with two game paddles, specifically for the purpose of playing ‘Breakout.’ In very good to fine condition, with wear to the red wrappers.

Alcorn had given Steve Jobs his start in the tech industry, first by hiring him at Atari and later by making introductions to potential investors and providing computer chips to Apple at cost. Later, Jobs offered Alcorn equity in the growing company—Alcorn said he said he’d take a free Apple II instead, which was accompanied by this early, unsophisticated version of its user manual.

Accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from Alcorn, in full: “In 1973 we were growing fast and we needed talented staff. A teenage hippy dropout from Reed College applied for a job as a technician and I hired him because he could sol-

der, read a schematic and was cheap. That was Steve Jobs.

He soon saved up enough money to fund his trip to India to meet his guru and when he returned a year later he asked for his old job back. His buddy, Woz, designed a single board computer they called the Apple and first offered it to us at Atari to build but we declined as we were busy creating the home video game market. We introduced them to venture capitalist and sold them integrated circuits at our cost to help them get started. Jobs offered me stock in Apple but I said I already had enough wallpaper and said I’d like a free Apple II computer instead. Bad decision.

So one Saturday, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, and the majority of the company, maybe a dozen people, showed up at my home to give me my Apple II. It was one of the first Apple IIs produced, and at that point the owner’s manual was hand collated and put in a red 3 prong folder. Soon they had the owner’s manual bound in a more professional manner, but this was one of the rare first documents. It has been in my possession since Steve gave it to me.

We hooked it up to the projection TV in my living room and Woz showed me how to program tiny basic. Soon I was programming and told my wife I could make it do anything. She asked me to make it wash the dishes or mop the floor and I told her I couldn’t do that so she told me to get it out of the living room. I used the Apple II as my main home workstation until I joined Apple Computer as a fellow in 1986 and I got my first Mac.” Starting Bid $300

Objects that appear so simple, coherent, and inevitable that there could be no rational alternative.’ Published in ‘large’ and ‘small’ versions, this is the more expensive—and thus scarcer—’large’ edition. Sealed in its original box and in very fine condition. Starting Bid $200

Rare coding keyset developed and owned by Doug Engelbart, as used in the ‘Mother of All Demos’ 3135. Douglas Engelbart’s Personally-Owned Rare Coding Keyset. Desirable chorded keyset input device

created by computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart, like that used in his iconic 1968 ‘Mother of All Demos.’ The rare keyset, measuring 5" x 5.5" x 1.25", features five keys (permitting 31 key-press combinations), for typing and entering commands.

The bottom is labeled “Demo” and “Owned by Doug Engelbart,” and has an affixed maintenance notice written and initialed

by Engelbart: “Bad ‘b’ switch; spring too weak, or key binding.

Oct 94, DCE.” The device retains its braided cord, terminating in a serial connector.

The five-button coding keyset was first publicly demonstrated in the ‘Mother of All Demos,’ where Engelbart presented many of the technological ideas that are now commonplace—including the computer mouse, hypertext, multiple windows, video conferencing, and shared editing of online documents. The keyset was meant to supplement—not replace—a traditional keyboard. Where a keyboard required a user to lift their hand from the mouse and look away from the screen, the keyset allowed them to continue using the mouse while typing by pressing down multiple switches simultaneously to make ‘chords,’ like a piano player. Using binary code, each ‘chord’ would input a specific character.

The keyset and Engelbart’s three-button mouse also worked together—the keyset’s 31 combinations permitted input of all 26 letters of the alphabet, plus standard punctuation marks (comma, period, semicolon, question mark, and space). Used in conjunction with the keyset, the mouse buttons functioned as shift and command keys: with the middle button pressed, letters shifted to uppercase and other punctuation marks were accessible; pressing the left mouse button allowed entry of numbers and a further selection of punctuation and symbols.

The ‘Mother of All Demos’ would prove to be massively influential, though it took well over a decade for Engelbart’s ideas to become mainstream. In the early 1970s, much of Engelbart’s original team ended up at Xerox PARC, where they continued their research in human-computer interaction and

kept improving upon the mouse. While touring Xerox PARC in 1979, Steve Jobs witnessed the concepts of the mouse and the graphical user interface (GUI) in action. Impressed by their user-friendliness, he aimed to simplify and incorporate these intuitive features into Apple’s computers.

This is one of two chording keysets gifted by Engelbart to Valerie Landau during their collaboration on the development of new mobile input devices in 2010. They formed a company, Mobile Input Devices and Systems, that created a mobile text entry keypad and a typing glove as well as apps for the iPhone and iPad using Engelbart’s binary alpha-numeric code, Devanagari, Braille, and Russian.

Valerie Landau first met Douglas Engelbart in 1984 while in the Stanford University library looking for archival footage for a PBS documentary series called, ‘Silicon Valley.’ The curator asked her to transfer the film of ‘The Mother of All Demos’ onto video tape. While viewing the footage during the transfer process, Landau’s life was changed. The film crew interviewed Engelbart and after the TV show aired Engelbart asked her and the show’s producer to work with him to articulate his ideas. The two collaborated on a variety of projects for the following 28 years. They collaborated on creating an Educational Networked Improvement community and on the book The Engelbart Hypothesis: Dialogs with Douglas Engelbart as well as the Engelbart Historical Mural with Eileen Clegg.

For the 50th anniversary of the Mother of All Demos, Smithsonian Magazine commissioned Landau to write the article ‘How Douglas Engelbart Invented the Future: Two decades before the personal computer, a shy engineer unveiled the tools that would drive the tech revolution.’

Over the decades of friendship Valerie Landau also co-organized countless events with various groups to discuss and celebrate Engelbart’s work including two Program for the Future conferences as well as many birthday celebrations including one at Stanford University for his 81st birthday and The Tech Museum celebration for his 85th birthday.

Rare Engelbart coding keyset with iPad interface—connecting past and present in human-computer input devices 3136. Douglas Engelbart Coding Keyset, iPad, and Signed Book. Fantastic chorded keyset input device created by computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart, like that used in his iconic 1968 ‘Mother of All Demos,’ and, later, circa 2010, in the invention of new mobile input devices as part of TipTap.mobi. The rare keyset, measuring 5" x 5.5" x 1.25", features five keys (permitting 31 key-press combinations), for typing and entering commands. The device retains its braided cord, terminating in a serial connector. Additionally includes a first generation 16GB iPad and interface adapters used in the development of TipTap.mobi. The interface for using the keyset with the iPad was developed by Valerie Landau, Rob Stephenson, Evan Schaffer, and Eric Matsuno. In addition to an app, TipTap was created allowing users to input directly onto the iPad using chorded combinations in Braille, Engelbart’s binary input system, Devanagari, and Russian.

The five-button coding keyset was first publicly demonstrated in the ‘Mother of All Demos,’ where Engelbart presented many of the technological ideas that are now commonplace—including the computer mouse, hypertext, multiple windows, video conferencing, and shared editing of online documents.

Rare oversized hand-drawn production schematic for an early custom Intel chip, built to modernize Disney World’s vending machines

3146. Original Hand-Drawn Oversized Blueprint for the Intel 1205 Chip - Designed for Disney World Vending Machines. Original hand-drawn blueprint for the Intel 1205 chip, accomplished in pencil on an off-white 30 x 30.5 sheet, matted and framed to an overall size of 36.5 x 35.5. The chip was designed by Matthew Miau in 1971 as a custom chip for Mars Money Systems (the candy company) for use in Disney World vending machines. As an early application of EPROM memory, it converted vending machines from mechanical to electronic systems. The large, highly intricate schematic is signed in the lower left by seven members of the Intel team, including Miau. In fine condition, with the mat somewhat loose within the frame.

This represents Matthew Miau’s first project as engineer after joining Intel in 1971, before going on to work on the famed 8080 team. Miau left Intel in 1976 and founded multibillion

dollar MiTAC-Synnex Group, where he is chairman today.

In an interview with the Computer History Museum, Miau reflected on this project: “When I first joined, as much as I wanted to try the microprocessor, I was given assignment to do a custom chip design for Disney World, for the company called the Mars Money Systems, to design a vending machine chip that recognizes the coins, to recognize a quarter, a dime, a nickel, and accumulates, and can then dispose the candy or whatever. And then, that was a very interesting project for me, very challenging. And I was very happy to be able to design the whole thing, and later write my test program. And that’s challenging for an engineer I think. I wish that all engineers have this kind of opportunity, to design for something and to write the test program itself, and to see that the chip works and sells.” The chip is also referenced in the 2001 article ‘Recollections of Early Chip Development at Intel,’ published in the Intel Technology Journal.

Early letter from Microsoft founder Bill Gates, naming Apple, Atari, and RadioShack as companies that “sell our BASIC with their hardware” 3147. Bill Gates Early Typed Letter Signed (1978) listing Apple, Atari, and RadioShack as companies that “sell our BASIC with their hardware”. Early TLS signed “Bill,” one page, 8.5 x 11, vintage Microsoft letterhead, August 23, 1978. Letter to Wayne Green, publisher of Kilobaud Magazine in Peterborough, New Hampshire, in full: “The next time you are in this part of the country – please come visit! If you are coming to the Dallas show that might be a good chance.

Everytime I read your newsletter or Kilobaud I remind myself to ask you out, so now I’m doing it. As you are probably aware Radio Shack, Apple, Commodore, OSI, MITS, Imsai, Pertec, National, ADDS, Ontel, Process Computer Systems, Exidy, Billings, General Electric, NCR, Atari, Intel Perkin-Elmer and many other companies sell our BASIC with their hardware.

The most exciting work we’re doing I can’t write about in a letter, but it involves a company you often guess about in your columns. Also, I might be forced to tell you the inside story

about APL. I really look forward to sitting down and talking.

Let me know if there is a good time in the near future.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a photocopy of Green’s reply from September 8th.

Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen developed Altair BASIC in 1975 as the first high-level programming language available for the Altair 8800 microcomputer. Its creation proved groundbreaking during the dawn of the microcomputer revolution and represented Microsoft’s first official product.

BASIC became the standard programming language across different computer systems, many of which Gates mentions in the above letter: Atari, Commodore, MITS, and Apple. This profusion of BASIC programming led to the development of an untold number of early software applications and games, a distinction that contributed mightily to the growth of the software industry.

One of the earliest Google, Inc. checks—three months after founding, Sergey Brin places a “Deposit on Computers” with a critical early vendor 3156. Google: Sergey Brin Signed Check for “Deposit on Computers” - PSA GEM MINT 10. Google, Inc. busi-

ness check, 6 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Brin, “Sergey Brin,” payable to King Star Computer, Inc. for $12,000, December 29, 1998, with the memo noting: “Deposit on Computers.”

Google’s address is given as “555 Bryant #106, Palo Alto, CA 94301.” In very good to fine condition, with overall creasing.

Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “GEM MT 10.”

Google, Inc. was officially incorporated on September 7, 1998, by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, as a way to bring their ‘PageRank’ algorithm—an improved method of ranking internet search results, developed in the course of their Stanford doctoral work—to the masses. This check, written just three months later, is therefore one of the earliest checks written after the founding of Google. Moreover, it represents one of the company’s first big purchases—computers used as it began to scale, purchased from one of its most important early vendors.

King Star Computer, based in Santa Clara, would soon build Google’s infamous ‘corkboard’ system—a modest (but effective) group of custom-built server racks which featured standard, off-the-shelf PC motherboards seated on raw corkboard for insulation. At the time the order was placed in the summer of 1999, the entirety of Google’s search engine was running on just over a hundred servers. Google commissioned King Star Computer to build out a 21-rack setup of 20 shelves a piece, each shelf carrying four servers—for a grand total of 1,680.

Google’s eighth employee, network engineer Urs Hölzle, later reflected: ‘At the time of the order, we had a grand total of 112 servers so 1680 was a huge step. But by the summer, these racks were running search for millions of users. In retrospect the design of the racks wasn’t optimized for reliability and serviceability, but given that we only had two weeks to design them, and not much money to spend, things worked out fine.’

Google began building custom billion-dollar data centers in 2006, and today spends upwards of $5B per quarter on its worldwide data center infrastructure. Documenting significant infrastructure investment during a period of rapid growth, this ultra-early Google check represents the birth of one of the world’s most influential companies.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the consignor, in part: “In August of 1998, Andy Bechtolsheim wrote a check to Google for $100,000 becoming the initial investor in the company. It took a few weeks for the check to be cashed because Google was not yet an incorporated company. On September 7 1998, Google became an incorporated company and the first checking account with the name Google Inc was opened. The address used to open the account, 555 Bryant #106 Palo Alto CA is currently a UPS Store which Google used as a mailing address. The actual offices were in a garage in Menlo Park.

It appears that the first check number used to set up the account was number 2000 to give the appearance of an established account/company. The location of the previous checks is unknown. King Star Computer Inc would play a significant role in the creation and success for Google. They were the provider of the servers that powered the search results for the company for many years. This check, was written in the first few months of the companies creation for a deposit on the critical infrastructure needed to power the early search results…

I joined the company in April of 2002. I worked in the Finance department as the manager of Disbursements and Payroll. I was the first manager level hired in the Finance department.

I came across these checks as we were moving from one location to another, as we did frequently. The checks were to be discarded to make room for other files. The company was growing very fast at the time. I kept them thinking it would be fun to have from a historical perspective.” Starting Bid $200

Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “MINT 9.”

Google, Inc. was officially incorporated on September 7, 1998, by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, as a way to bring their ‘PageRank’ algorithm—an improved method of ranking internet search results, developed in the course of their Stanford doctoral work—to the masses. Having received several million dollars in venture capital investments, the company moved out of its Menlo Park garage and into its first real office space in Palo Alto in March 1999. This check, signed twice

by Page just three months later, represents Google’s early, rapid growth—the firm occupied the ‘Lucky Building’ for only a few months before needing to move to a larger space, a victim of its own success.

The 165 University Avenue address holds a special place in startup culture—located near Stanford University on the main commercial street in downtown Palo Alto, California, the building has served as an incubator for several noted Silicon Valley companies, including Logitech, Google, Pay114 |

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the consignor, in full: “In August of 1998, Andy Bechtolsheim wrote a check to Google for $100,000 becoming the initial investor in the company. Later in 1998 there was additional investment in the company including $250,000 by Jeff Bezos in November 1998. With this additional funding and with the number of employees growing, the company moved into the first office space at 165 University Avenue in Palo Alto in March of 1999.

This check is unique and interesting in that it is written to Larry Page, signed by Larry Page, and endorsed for deposit

by Larry Page. It references employee expense reimbursement and it can be assumed that Larry possibly spent money moving and furnishing the new office space.

Incredibly rare prototype of the Atari Cosmos, an unreleased product from the Pong creator’s personal collection

3160. Allan Alcorn: Atari Cosmos Prototype. From the collection of Pong creator Allan Alcorn—an extremely rare circa 1980 prototype design mock-up of the Atari Cosmos, an unreleased tabletop electronic game system designed to utilize holographic cartridges overlaid against an LED array display.

The system was intended to have nine built-in games—Asteroids, Basketball, Dodge ‘Em, Football, Outlaw, Road Runner, Sea Battle, Space Invaders, and Superman—which would be activated by a low-cost cartridge containing the holographic image and a notch by which the system would identify which game to load. The low-cost holography process developed

by Atari for the Cosmos would go on to be adopted by the American Banknote Corporation for use in credit cards and other high-security financial applications. The Atari Cosmos project was ultimately cancelled by Atari’s president, Ray Kassar, after the product was announced but before it was

released—making any Cosmos hardware exceedingly rare.

The unit measures approximately 8˝ x 13˝ x 6˝ and features the standard “Third Dimension” graphics, with “Atari Cosmos” label below. It features a bright red circular button marked “Fire,” three black square buttons for “Start,” “Expert,” and “2 Player,” and a central set of four directional arrow buttons. The 7-by-6 grid of red LEDs is intact in the rear of the unit, as are the pair of dual non-reflective incandescent lights designed to illuminate the “A” and “B” Holoptic scenes. The logic board is absent, rendering the unit non-functional. Includes an original Atari-branded AC adapter, although the prototype does not power up.

Schematic for Atari’s World Cup Football arcade game, one of Steve Jobs’s early video game projects

3162. Allan Alcorn: Atari World Cup Schematics (c.

1973). Pong creator Allan Alcorn’s original blue line copy of the

Atari World Cup Football schematic, one page, 34 x 22, identified in the lower corner, “Atari Inc., Rev. A, Schematic—World Cup, DRN: PCD 12/17/73.” The schematic diagram provides the circuits for “Ball Motion” and “Vert. Speed Control,” with sections labeled “Hit Tone,” “Playfield,” “Goal,” “Ball Off Paddle Detector,” “Solid Defensemen,” “Solid Forwards,” “striped Defensemen,” and “Striped Forwards.” In fine condition, with moderate toning along the folds.

Accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from Alcorn, in full: “When our first game, Pong, became a hit we ramped up production and sold thousands of them. Then we made several variations of the ball and paddle game and we dis-

tributed them domestically and internationally. Our European customers felt that we should design a video game featuring soccer or football, as they call it in Europe, so we designed a game with their help to meet their requirements. Unfortunately, it was not a success and we learned a lesson: give the customer what they need not what they want. This is a blue line schematic of the video game ‘World Cup Soccer,’ and was used by production to design and troubleshoot the game.”

Interestingly, Steve Jobs weighed in on the design of Atari’s World Cup game, providing notes to his supervisor, Stephen Bristow, with ideas for improving the game’s functionality; these included changes to the circuits involved in serving, scoring, and shooting, as well as the design of the paddles and alignment in defense of the soccer goal.

Original blueprint for the Pong arcade game circuit, from the collection of its creator 3161. Allan Alcorn: Original Pong Schematics (c.

1972). Original blue line copy of the Pong schematic originally drawn by Allan Alcorn, one page, 34 x 22, identified in the lower corner, “Pong, Al Alcorn,” with a listing of descending revision dates: “Jan 15, ‘73 to ‘E,’ Oct 16, ‘72, Sept 1, ‘72, Aug 11, ‘72.” Major sections of the schematic—areas of the circuit responsible for video generation—are labeled “Horizontal Sync,” “Horizontal Position,” “Vertical Sync,” and “Vertical Position,” while some other noteworthy areas are marked: “Score Sound Timer,” “Hit Sound,” and “Coin Switch.” Notes in the lower left state: “1. All resistors are 1/4 W Carbon and are 1K unless otherwise stated, 2. All JK flip flops are 74107, 3. All D flip flops are 7474.” Folded and in fine condition, with light toning along the folds. Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by Alcorn, discussing his history as Atari’s first hired employee and the story behind his creation of Pong; he used this schematic to troubleshoot problems during the production of Pong arcade games.

Unlike modern video games that use microprocessors and software, Pong was developed using entirely hard-wired transistor-transistor logic (TTL), utilizing logic gates, flip flops, and counters to create a simple interactive game. Alcorn’s clever, innovative circuit has been widely studied and earned

the praise of electrical engineers and video game enthusiasts alike. Like the game itself, the circuit’s elegant simplicity breaks things down to their component parts and uses some clever tricks to create the memorable Pong experience: prominent score counters at the top, segmented paddles that allow a player to put ‘English’ on the ball, variable ball velocity, and interactive gameplay sounds.

When Alcorn had finished creating the gameplay circuit, he was already over budget but had not yet created the sounds.

Atari co-founders Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney insisted that they were essential. Alcorn recalls: Nolan said, “I want to have the sound cheering people when you make a score.”

And Ted said, “I want it to have boos and hisses.” Instead of adding new components for sound, Alcorn realized that he could tap into the existing sync generator to make three tones: a low-pitched thunk when the ball bounces off the side walls, a higher-pitched blip when it hits a paddle, and a lower bleep when a point is scored. These sounds added a layer of immersion for Pong players. More importantly, though, they served as an advertisement for Pong in its context as an arcade cabinet deployed into the American barroom: other patrons, intrigued by the novel noises, sought out their source. Soon, they were lining up to play. Starting Bid $2,500

Before Pong and Atari, there was Computer Space and Syzygy Engineering—the first arcade video game ever created 3163. Computer Space: The First Arcade Game Ever Made. Exceedingly rare original Computer Space

arcade game released in 1971 by Syzygy Engineering, the company that evolved into Atari, Incorporated. Designed by pioneering game developers and electrical engineers Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney, Computer Space is both the first arcade video game ever created and the first commercially available video game, with an estimated total of 1,300–1,500 units sold during its distribution period. The game is enclosed in its original futuristic blue sparkle (metallic flake) fiberglass cabinet, approximately 24˝ x 67˝ x 30˝, the back of which features its on/off switch, speaker vents, and Nutting Association parts label, which reads: “Model No. 720, Serial No. 10144.”

The game’s hardware consists of a Xentek power supply, a General Electric television set, and a series of circuit boards, dubbed the ‘brain box’ in company flyers. The front control panel featured a 25-cent quarter slot, a coin return button, a ‘Start Game’ button, and four control buttons for ‘Fire Missile,’ ‘Thrust,’ and left and right rotations. The game’s simple gameplay instructions, printed beneath the monitor, read as follows: “1. Insert quarter and press start; your rocket ship will appear 2. There is no gravity in space; rocket speed can only be changed by engine, thrust 3. Evade the saucers’ missiles and use yours to score hits 4. Outscore the saucers for extended play in hyperspace” Included with the cabinet is the original cabinet key and ‘Instructions’ folder, which contains a dual-sided instructions

sheet from Bushnell, a three-page ‘Trouble-Shooting Guide’ from August 1972, a ‘Troubleshooting Guide, Computer Space Display’ fold-out from Dabney dated January 4, 1972, a ‘Control & Power Chassis Wiring’ schematic drawn by Dabney, a GE ‘Main Chassis Schematic Diagram’ (S-3), an extra ‘2 Plays for a Quarter’ coin label, additional player control and trouble-shooting print-outs, and an early Nutting Associates promotional flyer for ‘Computer Space, NA-2010.’ In fine condition, with scattered scrapes and scuffs to cabinet.

A coin-operated derivative of the 1962 computer game Spacewar!, Computer Space made its official public debut at the Music Operators of America (MOA) Expo, which was held at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago, Illinois on October 15-17, 1971. Syzygy founders Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney were thrilled with the early response, as was their manufacturer, Bill Nutting of Mountain View, California, whose company Nutting Associates greenlit initial production sometime in November or December, and then full production near the end of January 1972. The ultimate sales tally was modest, but the game’s success led to a two-player sequel and the game’s telltale cabinet even made a cameo in the 1973 film Soylent Green, marking the first appearance of a video game in a movie. After parting ways with Nutting, Bushnell and Dabney sought to incorporate Syzygy Engineering, but learned that the name already existed in California. Inspired by the Japanese game Go, they changed the company name to Atari and released their first game, Pong, on November 29, 1972.

Early non-working Pong arcade console—the first game developed by Atari

3164. Atari: Pong Arcade Video Game.

Rare early original Pong arcade video game manufactured by Atari, Inc., and originally released on November 29, 1972. The game is in non-working condition but is housed in its original iconic cabinet, 26.5˝ x 60.5˝ x 23.5˝, with bright yellow front, upper “PONG” text, and a metallic control plate with two-player knobs, gameplay instructions, and Atari and Syzygy logos. The front of the cabinet frame reveals inset bottom edges, an early design flaw that makes the cabinet susceptible to tilting and falling over; later straight-cut machines manufactured by Bally rectified this issue. The console features a replacement Bally coin door (typically found on straight-cut cabinets), and the large upright capacitor on the game’s circuit board is indicative of early Atari hardware. The cabinet is missing its original back door. Nonfunctional and in fine condition, with scattered wear and dings to the cabinet, and some marks and scuffs to the control plate. Starting Bid $300

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. . For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is earlier. Bidder’s failure to pay any payment in full when due required shall constitute a material breach, and in addition to other damages available under contract or law, at RR Auction’s election, RR Auction may cancel the sale and require full premium still be due along with interest at 1.5% per month from the date of breach, or at the maximum legally allowable rate.

Section 4 Bidding 4.1 Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s) and independent investigation, rather than the any reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. Bidder affirms that it regards any statements made by RR Auction concerning the item as solely opinion and that Bidder is making its own inspection and independent evaluation of the goods, and is not relying upon any description or statements by RR Auction (including as to quality, authenticity, provenance, ownership, liens existing, on goods legality, or value) in making its determination to bid on or purchase an item. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price.

THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. 4.2 RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a reoffering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

4.3 All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing.

RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder.

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

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

4.6 Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder fur-

ther grants RR Auction a lien consisting of a senior security interest (or purchase money security interest to the extent applicable) in such sums or items to the fullest extent applicable, authorizes RR Auction to file documents concerning the interest, and Bidder agrees to execute any further documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest. Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought

by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued fees and expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

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

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

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

5.2 When identical bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received.

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

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

5.4 RR Auction reserves the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced. Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless RR Auction directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). For live auctions, RR Auction will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. RR Auction will determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale, or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

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

6.2 Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 7 Sales Tax RR Auction is a remote seller and we are now required to collect Sales/Use Tax from our bidders. The states that we have nexus in we will be required to collect and remit sales tax on your behalf. Each state has different requirements to meet nexus.

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

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

Section 8 Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges Bidder is liable for shipping and handling and providing accurate information as to shipping or delivery locations and arranging for such. RR Auction is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that

service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction.

Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified Customs declarations, to RR Auction for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price and RR Auction shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot.

Domestic Bidders on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs.

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

Section 10 Rights Reserved RR Auction reserves the right, at any time before, during or after an auction has ended to: withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction, cancel any bid, and/or to postpone the Auction of all or any lots or parts thereof, for any reason.

RR Auction shall not be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal, cancellation, or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone at any time.

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

11.2 RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments. RR Auction has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auction has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful Bidder in the event of a dispute between Bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auctions record of final sale shall be conclusive.

RR Auction also may reject any bid if RR Auction decides either that any bid is below the reserve of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced by RR Auction at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale.

11.3 Reserves Lots may be subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. Consignors may not bid on their own lots or property. RR Auction may, from time to time, bid on items that it does not own. RR Auction may execute bids consecutively or otherwise up to one bid increment below the reserve.

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

11.5 Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 732-4280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading).

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

11.7 Before the Auction:

Bidder may attend pre-sale viewing for all of RR Auction’s auctions at no charge.

All property to be auctioned is usually on view for several days prior to the sale.

Bidder is encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. Bidder may also request condition reports (see below). RR Auction’s staff are available at viewings and by appointment.

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

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

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

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

The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

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

Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm EST/ EDT, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm EST/ EDT, that lot is awarded to Bidder. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm EST/EDT will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm EST/EDT or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm EST/EDT, whichever comes first.

For all lots that are active after 7 pm EST/EDT, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot (the “30 Minute Rule”).

The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the Auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm EST/EDT. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the high Bidder, raising Bidder’s maximum bid will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the Auction at any time at its sole discretion.

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

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

During live internet or live auction, property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone,

internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute a bid or bids (successively or otherwise) on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. All auctions for lots are with reserve unless specifically stated otherwise.

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

All RR Auction lots purchased through the third-party sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium.

11.13 Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a non-sale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited.

If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement.

Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with ”donot-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available.

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

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

Section 13 Warranties

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

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

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

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

Section 14 Firearms RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any.

Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm.

Section 15 Unauthorized Statements Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR Auction authorized by RR Auction to modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on a registration form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed Bidder and by an authorized officer of RR Auction by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied upon by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction.

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

16.2 This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder as against

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

16.3 Title to Items The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, satisfactory to the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction may make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other amounts paid or due to RR Auction). Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand (if any made), RR Auction may disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and may assign to Bidder all or some of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and/or assignment, all responsibility and liability of RR Auction, if any, with respect to said lot or item shall automatically terminate related to or arising from these Conditions of Sale or such transaction operating as a complete waiver and general release by Bidder as to RR Auction and its agents, contractors, and affiliates, as to any and all claims concerning or related to the item, if any . RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction

by Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances.

16.4 Authenticity Challenge Process (1) If Bidder wishes to dispute or challenge the Authenticity of the lot or item (including asserting that it is incorrect), Bidder must adhere to the following procedure: Within 30 days of the Auction Date, Bidder must present written evidence to RR Auction, that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field (and one recognized by RR Auction within its discretion) and send the physical item or lot at issue to RR Auction along with all evidence relied upon

by Bidder for contesting the Authenticity. (“Authenticity Challenge Process”) “Authenticity” shall mean a gross discrepancy in the between the description, genuiness, or attribution of the item as represented by RR Auction in the Catalog or at the auction, and the item. If RR Auction concurs that the lot is not Authentic as was represented (it is sole discretion), Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, agents, employees, and contractors) shall be a refund of the purchase price of the subject item paid by Bidder, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable by Bidder. If RR Auction does not agree with the assertion by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale. Strict adherence to the Authenticity Challenge Process is a condition of standing for Bidder to initiate suit or claim.

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

16.5 Other Issues. Any dispute or claim by Bidder against RR Auction (or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors)) other than Authenticity, concerning any item or lot bid upon, or purchased, including value, title, condition, bidding process, or description must be asserted (if at all) in the following manner: (1) If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially or grossly incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), or there is any other gross material issue pertaining to the item or lot, the item or lot may be returned if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date with explanation in writing.. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and a certificate of auction, then the description in the certificate of auction (“Lot Challenge Process”).

This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received

by RR Auction within the period of time stated herein or not materially or grossly in deviation from the description. Such a refund is subject to RR Auction’s sole discretionary review, and any request for refund must be made concurrently with returning the physical item or lot to RR Auction. Any item not returned within said frame will constitute acceptance of the item and a waiver and release of any and all claims by Bidder pertaining to the item other than with respect to authenticity; and (2) Provided that the Bidder has engaged in the Lot Challenge Process, any

claim concerning such must be brought no later than one (1) year of the Auction Date for the item or lot at issue and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED OR PROVIDED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BIDDERS OR AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SUCH SHALL BE A COMPLETE DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIMS BY BIDDER RELATED TO THE CONDITIONS OF SALE, ANY AUCTION OR BID. 16.6 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. For any and all claims by Bidder arising out of or related to this Agreement, Bidder’s viewing, bid, or purchase of items, or any agreement between the Parties, or otherwise, Bidder agrees that to the fullest extent such can be limited under the law, Bidder shall have no right to recover and hereby waives any and all rights to recover from against RR Auction or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors, consequential or indirect damages, lost profits damages, punitive, exemplary, statutory (or multiplier damages), physical or emotional distress damages, general or special damages of any kind (beyond amounts actually paid by Bidder for item(s) at issue), and in the event of recovery of any damages whatsoever, such shall be limited by the amounts actually paid by Bidder to RR Auction for the item(s) at issue in such claim, or if no money was paid to RR Auction by Bidder for items at issue, or there items are at issue, the amount of $150.00.

Section 17 RR Auction’s Additional Services For Bidders who do not remove purchased property from RR Auction’s premises, RR Auction, in its sole discretion and solely as a service and accommodation to Bidders, may arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded at the sole request, expense, and risk of Bidder. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for damage to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice, RR Auction will include an administration charge.

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

Section 19 Entire Agreement Except to the extent Bidder is also a consignor (in which case the terms of the consignment agreement shall also govern), these Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement between the Parties together with the terms and conditions contained in the auction Registration Form. 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.

For Residents of California:

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.

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.

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

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:

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.

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.
