“This is the Apple Computer-1” —three Polaroids from Steve Jobs’s pitch deck given to Byte Shop owner Paul Terrell during a 1976 Apple-1 demo, the ‘biggest single episode in all of the company’s history’

4001. Steve Jobs: (3) Apple-1 Prototype Polaroid Photographs Given to Paul Terrell of the Byte Shop in 1976. Three original vintage circa 1976 Polaroid snapshot photographs from Steve Jobs’s ‘pitch deck’ for the Apple-1 Computer, each measuring 3.5 x 4.25, given by Jobs to pioneering computer retailer Paul Terrell, owner of the Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, during Jobs’s historic 1976 demo of the device. On seeing Steve Jobs’s demonstration of the Apple-1, Paul Terrell gave Apple their first big sale—a ‘COD’ (Cash On Delivery) purchase order for 50 Apple-1 Computers on ‘Net 30’ terms, which provided Jobs with the seed capital funds to start manufacturing the computers and allowed Apple Computer to establish credit with its suppliers of component parts.

The Polaroids show Steve Jobs’s prototype Apple-1 board (then denoted “Apple Computer A”) hooked up to an uncased Amkey keyboard and standard CRT video monitor: one photo shows an overview of the setup, one shows a closer angle of the computer board itself, and the other shows the computer in action, with a program running on the screen that concludes in: “This is the Apple Computer-1.” In overall fine condition.

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. All together, over a span of about ten months, Jobs and Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers and sold 175 of them.

These three Polaroids originate directly from Paul Terrell; they were famously published in Harry McCracken’s ‘Technologizer’ column in Time Magazine on November 22, 2012, under the title, ‘Behold, Some of the First Apple Computer Photos Ever.’ RR Auction sold the Apple-1 prototype pictured in 2022 for over $677,000, at which time these photos received further media coverage worldwide. Though previously believed to have been taken by Terrell during Jobs’s demonstration, his recollection is that Jobs had prepared them as part of his original ‘pitch deck’ and left them at the Byte Shop.

The Byte Shop’s $25,000 purchase order forever changed the course of Apple Computer, Inc.—what Jobs and Woz had conceived as part of a $40 do-it-yourself kit for hobbyists became, at Terrell’s request, a fully assembled personal computer to be sold at $666.66. Steve Wozniak later placed Terrell’s purchase order for fifty Apple-1s 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.’

Provenance: Steve Jobs

Paul Terrell (accompanied by his letter of provenance) Loaned to Living Computer Museum (with two Polaroids retaining museum inventory labels on the reverse)

Presented in their original file folder, with each photo stapled to their protective sleeve.

From the start of the NeXT big thing—rare temporary ID badges for Steve Jobs and eight other founding employees of NeXT Computer

4002. Steve Jobs Original NeXT I.D. Badge Photograph with (8) Polaroids of NeXT Computer Founding Employees. Incredible set of nine color glossy 3.5 x 4.25 Polaroid photographs of several founding employees of NeXT Computer, a group highlighted by principal founder and CEO Steve Jobs. Also pictured are George Crow, Rich Page, Susan Kelly Barnes, Tom Carlisle, Bruce Blumberg, Lynn Takahashi, Bud Tribble, and Dan’l Lewin, all of whom were former Apple Computer employees. The name of each pictured employee is annotated in the lower border in an unknown hand. The consignor notes that these pictures were taken shortly after the formation of NeXT and that these Polaroids were used as temporary company ID badges. Presented in their original file folder, with each photo stapled to their protective sleeve. In overall fine condition.

George Crow — Vice President of Analog Hardware Engineering Crow joined the original Macintosh development team at Apple Computer in 1981 and designed the analog board containing the power supply and video circuitry for the first Macintosh 128K. When the prototype developed problems with the early Twiggy drive, he worked behind the scenes to replace it with Sony’s new 3.5-inch floppy mechanism. He left Apple with Jobs in 1985 to become a co-founding member of NeXT as the Vice President of Analog Hardware Engineering, ultimately leaving NeXT to work for SuperMac and then Truevision. In 1999, Crow returned to Apple with Jobs back as CEO.

Rich Page —

Vice President of Digital Hardware Engineering

Page was recruited by Jobs to join Apple Computer at the urging of John Couch. Among his achievements, Page chose to use the Motorola 68000 processor in the Lisa and the first Macintosh 128K, and he later prototyped Apple’s first portable computer and the 68020-based system. Page became an Apple Fellow in 1983 and, two years later, he left Apple and joined Jobs as a founding member of NeXT. Page was responsible for developing the NeXTcube and NeXTstation.

Susan Kelly Barnes — Chief Financial Officer

Barnes joined Apple Computer in 1981 as the financial controller of the Macintosh division, first reporting to financial executive Debi Coleman and then directly to co-founder Steve Jobs. In 1985, Barnes and Coleman helped Jobs get Apple to acquire a 19.99% stake in Adobe Systems, the developer of PostScript. Barnes left Apple and joined Jobs as a founding member of NeXT, where she became the Chief Financial Officer. In 1989,

she helped arrange an investment of $100 million by Canon in exchange for a 16.7 percent stake in the company. Barnes married fellow Apple and NeXT colleague Bud Tribble.

Tom Carlisle — Director of Facilities

Carlisle was an early employee of Apple Computer who worked as an interior designer. He followed Jobs to NeXT and became one of its first 10 employees as the director of facilities. Carlisle later became the facilities director at Jobs’ other venture, Pixar.

Bruce Blumberg — Product Marketing Manager and Senior Development Support Engineer

Blumberg joined Apple in 1981 and later became a product manager in the Lisa and Macintosh divisions. In 1985, Blumberg followed Jobs to NeXT and became one of its first employees. He left NeXT in 1992 to continue his studies and became an assistant professor at the MIT Media Lab.

Lynn Takahashi — Office Manager

Takahashi was a member of the original Macintosh development team at Apple Computer where she worked as an assistant to co-founder Steve Jobs. In 1985, she followed Jobs to NeXT where she served as the office manager.

Guy ‘Bud’ Tribble — Vice President of Software Engineering

Tribble was recruited by Jef Raskin to join the original Macintosh development team at Apple Computer in 1980, helping design the user interface of the system software as manager of Mac software. He later joined Jobs at NeXT, where he became an expert in software design and object-oriented programming. Tribble is one of the few early Apple Computer employees to have completed a ‘round trip’ with Jobs to NeXT, and then back to Apple after it acquired NeXT Software in 1997.

Dan’l Lewin

— Vice President of Sales and Marketing

Lewin was hired by Apple in January 1981 and, while assigned to the Macintosh division, established the Apple University Consortium. He eventually became the Director of Global Education Sales and Marketing. He left Apple with Jobs in 1985 and became a founding member of NeXT, where he became the Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

While spurring the microcomputer revolution in 1976, Steve Jobs signs on the Fourth of July

4003. Steve Jobs Signed 1976 Apple Computer Check - PSA MINT 9. Early Apple Computer Company check, 6 x 3, filled out in type and signed by Jobs, “steven jobs,” payable to Redwood Ans. Service for $16.90, July 4, 1976. Headed “Apple Computer Company,” the check uses Apple’s first official address at “770 Welch Rd., Ste. 154, Palo Alto”—the location of the answering service and mail drop that they used while still operating out of the famous Jobs family garage. In very fine condition, with a minor brush to Jobs’ last name. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “MINT 9.”

Signed on the Fourth of July amidst celebrations of the United States bicentennial, Steve Jobs was about to foment a revolution of his own—the microcomputer revolution. During this period in the summer of 1976, roughly three months

after founding the Apple Computer Company, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were hard at work building their first product: the Apple-1 Computer. Running the company out of the Jobs family garage, they got an ‘official’ address with the Redwood Answering Service in Palo Alto, which gave them a mail drop and telephone number for dealer inquiries. They set the price of the Apple-1 at $666.66, and sold about 175 of the 200 units built over the span of ten months.

The initial, niche success of the Apple-1 spurred development of the Apple II, released in 1977. The Apple II, along with the Commodore PET 2001 and Tandy TRS-80, became known as the ‘trinity’ of mass-market personal computers, and represented the advent of the microcomputer revolution. Starting Bid $2,500

Remarkably

4004. Steve Jobs Signed 1976 Apple Computer Check No. 4 - PSA GEM MT 10. Wells Fargo bank check, 7.5 x 3, filled out and signed by Steve Jobs, “steven jobs,” payable to Zack Electronics for $4.95, March 19, 1976. Drawn on the account of “Apple Computer,” 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 very fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “GEM MT 10.”

Marked as check “No. 4,” 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 $4.95 to Zack Electronics—an electronics distribution house with locations in Palo Alto and San Jose—likely represents payment for parts affiliated with the first Apple-1 prototypes. Starting Bid $2,500

Steve Jobs’s bomber jacket, worn in the iconic 1983 ‘middle finger to IBM’ photo

4005. Steve Jobs ‘Middle Finger to IBM’ Leather Bomber Jacket.

The famous image of Jobs surfaced in 2011, when it was posted online by Andy Hertzfeld, a member of the original Macintosh development team. He recalled: ‘In December 1983, a few

weeks before the Mac launch, we made a quick trip to New York City to meet with Newsweek, who was considering doing a cover story on the Mac. The photo was taken spontaneously as we walked around Manhattan by Jean Pigozzi, a wild French jet setter who was hanging out with us at the time.’

Provenance: From the caretakers of the Jackling House (1984-1990), Julien’s Auctions, September 23, 2016. Steve Jobs purchased Jackling House—a historic estate in Woodside, California—in 1984, and he resided there for a decade. Starting Bid $1,000

The consignor, John S. Romain, documented his meeting with Jobs in his 2019 book, The Road to Eden: The Journey Home, which is included. The story, told on page 88, reads: ‘The first Omni event that I attended was a small gathering of Silicon Valley luminaries at a very exclusive restaurant in San Francisco in early February 1980. Omni publisher Kathy Kenton had set up the dinner to establish a relationship with the emerging personal

computer industry. The guest list included not only key executives but also the brightest visionaries of the valley. As host, I was privileged to dine at the table with those who were both.

Though it was my job to entertain, I spent most of the evening just listening to the conversations between the guests, the most memorable being a young Steve Jobs in a passionate discussion with two of his colleagues about artificial intelligence. I asked if this was possible in our lifetime. Oh, yes, they all agreed. Jobs went so far as to say that we would probably see it happen within thirty years. That moment came back to haunt me thirty-one years later, when Steve Jobs died the day after Apple introduced its first product embedded with artificial intelligence, the iPhone 4.5 with Siri.’ Starting Bid $200

Apple business cards from Jobs’ return to Apple in 1997, when he became “Interim CEO” and “iCEO”

4009. Steve Jobs (3) Apple Business Cards (1997 and 1998) as “Interim CEO” and “iCEO”. Rare set of three Apple Computer business cards of Steve Jobs from 1997 and 1998, which date to his return to the company where he assumed the role of Interim CEO, a title he later creatively altered to ‘iCEO.’ The cards, each 3.5 x 2, all feature the Apple logo, with the two earlier versions bearing the iconic ‘rainbow’ logo, and the third featuring a red ‘candy-colored’ logo. The ‘rainbow’ cards share identical contact information, but differ in title, with the earliest version marked “Interim CEO,” and the second version identifying Jobs as “iCEO.” The red ‘candy-colored’ also lists Jobs as the “iCEO,” but features a break in the contact information and is dual-sided, with the reverse identical minus Jobs’s title in Japanese characters. In overall fine condition.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from a former Apple employee who states that he “worked for the company from 1987 to 2015, nearly three decades, during which I had the privilege of witnessing and contributing to some of the most transformative periods in the company’s history. Throughout my tenure, I was based at Apple’s headquarters, directly experiencing the leadership and vision of Steve Jobs…I acquired these cards directly from Steve’s executive assistant. My role required regular interaction with the executive team, and through these professional connections, I was able to obtain these items.” Starting Bid $500

Fantastic Apple-1 board from the ‘trade-in’ pile in Steve Jobs’ office, gifted by Jobs and Woz to Apple’s first applications engineer

4025. Apple-1 Computer from Apple Employee Dana Redington - From the ‘Trade-In’ Pile in Steve Jobs’ Office, Gifted by Jobs and Woz to Apple’s First Applications Engineer.

Sought-after ‘NTI’–style Apple-1 computer (also commonly known as the Apple I, or Apple Computer 1) restored to full functionality, complete with all components and accessories required for operation. This board comes from the collection of early Apple employee Dana Redington, who has owned it since early 1978. Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance from Redington, explaining that the Apple-1 was given to him by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak: “In early 1978, while preparing for a move to a new building, I noticed a pile of soon-to-be-discarded Apple I boards. Apple had offered a trade-in program for upgrading to the Apple II to help phase out the older board. With Wozniak and Jobs’ permission, I selected the best motherboard and a couple of cassette interface cards from the pile.” Prior this auction, this board was ‘undiscovered’ to the Apple collecting community and has never been offered for sale; it is now logged as #104 in the Apple-1 Registry.

THE SET INCLUDES:

• original Apple-1 ‘NTI’ board, with label annotated “4062”

• original Apple Cassette Interface (ACI) board

• period Cherry mechanical keyboard (circa 1974) with Apple-1 compatible interface cable

• linear power supply wired for an Apple-1 based on two Triad transformers (F31-X and F40X) mounted on a wooden frame

• modern Insignia LCD TV/video monitor with Apple-1 compatible video cable

• detailed letter of provenance from Dana Redington, discussing his employment at Apple and his receipt of this board

• Dana Redington’s Apple Computer business card, listing the address as 20863 Stevens Creek Blvd. in Cupertino

• Original photograph of Dana Redington and Steve Wozniak posing with the Datsun 280ZX, license plate “APPLEII,” used in a 1983 TV commercial

This Apple-1 computer was restored and brought to an operational state in June 2024 by Apple-1 expert Corey Cohen. Upon initial visual inspection, this Apple-1 was missing or had damage to components including all integrated circuit chips, PROMs, ‘Big Blue’ capacitors, three regulators, four power diodes, a crystal oscillator, and various other components. Cohen made all board-level repairs using new old stock components; where available, all socketed components were replaced with period-correct and manufacturer-correct components. In the process, Cohen prepared a comprehensive technical report documenting the condition and restoration of the board, as well as a ‘proof of life’ video demonstrating its functionality, which are available to qualified bidders.

In his report, Cohen notes that the condition of the board supports the notion that it comes from the “trade-in pile which has been documented by other early Apple employees as being located in Steve Jobs’ office,” as the board’s ceramic capacitors exhibit some cosmetic marring “likely from being in the ‘pile’ of Apple-1 boards in Steve Jobs’ office where another Apple-1 board placed on top of this board had its IC socket legs contacting.”

and Steve Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers, selling 175 of them. Building on that success, they introduced the Apple II in June 1977, which became one of the world’s first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products.

Dana Redington joined Apple Computer after visiting Steve Wozniak—a former neighbor and fellow graduate of Cupertino’s Homestead High School—in April 1977 at the ‘Good Earth building’ on Stevens Creek Boulevard to demonstrate some programs he had written. Woz introduced Dana to Mike Markkula who immediately offered him a job. He was the company’s first applications software engineer, developing programs for the Apple II. Redington reflects: ‘I developed several demonstration programs, including a hands-free, eye-controlled version of Breakout using face electrodes, and a Star Wars-inspired program that highlighted the Apple II’s high-resolution color graphics, animation, sound, and custom fonts. Woz showed it to Steve Jobs, but Jobs, not being a programmer, didn’t see much value in it at the time.’

In a 2013 interview with Game Informer, Wozniak reflected on Redington’s work: ‘We had this guy Dana Redington. He did the first high-res game with some little spaceships going by and you’d point your gun at them and shoot them down. We called it Star Wars at first, but we had to change the name eventually. He did this great game, and Steve thought it was really lousy. I admired his work so much, and yet he got dismissed by Steve.’

Redington was abruptly let go in mid-1978, as Jobs began aiming for a more business-oriented focus in software development. He would go on to pursue software innovation in hightech startups and medical research, receiving patents for a multi-state speech encoder/decoder and a psychophysiological reflex arc training simulator.

Ultra-early, pre-production prototype of the Apple II logic board— a significant Steve Wozniak design

4031. Apple II Pre-Production Logic Board (Rev. 1). Extremely early, pre-production Apple II bare logic board (Rev. 1), 14.25” x 8.5”, without solder mask and graphics, produced as an internal development and evaluation unit. The part number, “820-0014-01,” corresponds with the Apple II revision 1—making this one of the earliest Apple computer prototype boards available. The early microcomputer was designed by Steve Wozniak and based on the 6502 8-bit processor. In fine 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. 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 consumerready 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 $500

4032. Apple II Computer ‘Breakout’ Cassette Tape for ‘Color Demos’. Original Apple II personal computer cassette tape for containing “Color Demos” for the arcade game “Breakout,” which was released in 1977 and developed by Steve Wozniak.

Designed by Steve Wozniak in October of 1975, the arcade game Breakout was developed and published by Atari, Inc. and released on May 13, 1976. In the game, a layer of bricks lined the top third of the screen, and the goal was to destroy them all by repeatedly bouncing a ball off a paddle into them. Breakout was a worldwide commercial success, among the top five highest-grossing arcade video games of 1976 in both the United States and Japan and then among the top three highestgrossing arcade video games of 1977 in the U.S. and Japan.

Wozniak later claimed that Breakout directly influenced the design of the Apple II computer, saying ‘A lot of features of the Apple II went in because I had designed Breakout for Atari. I had designed it in hardware. I wanted to write it in software now.’ This included his design of color graphics circuitry, the addition of game paddle support and sound, and graphics commands in Integer BASIC. ‘Basically, all the game features were put in just so I could show off the game I was familiar with—Breakout—at the Homebrew Computer Club. It was the most satisfying day of my life [when] I demonstrated Breakout—totally written in BASIC. It seemed like a huge step to me. After designing hardware arcade games, I knew that being able to program them in BASIC was going to change the world.’ Starting Bid $200

4033. Apple II Computer ‘Applesoft BASIC’ Cassette Tape. Original Apple II computer cassette tape containing ‘Applesoft Basic’ and ‘Loan Amortization,’ with the green-and-white labels to either side stamped “APPLESOFT BASIC, Microsoft, 1977” and “LOAN AMORTIZATION (APPLESOFT).” A label affixed to one side of the included cassette case is annotated in black ink, “Applesoft BASIC, Loan Amortization.” In fine condition.

Rare Apple Lisa-1 computer with its original

‘Twiggy’

drives—representing

the

mass-market

introduction

of the mouse and GUI

4050. Apple Lisa Computer with ‘Twiggy’ Drives, ProFile Hard Drive, Software, Manuals, and Printer. Rare Apple Lisa desktop computer (Model A6SB100P, Memory Option A6SB108), representing an innovative step in the transition between the Apple I and II and the Macintosh. It was one of the first personal computers to present a graphical user interface (GUI), and is remembered for its high price and lack of sales. This example, with Apple label reading “Serial No: B08B831950122, Applenet No: 00102755, Manufactured: 8315,” features the rare original-configuration ‘Twiggy’ floppy drives.

The concept of a GUI-based system was initially developed by Xerox in 1973, but it was Apple that brought it to market with the release of the Lisa in January 1983. The Lisa introduced revolutionary features such as overlapping windows, pull-down menus, and drag-and-drop functionality. Despite its groundbreaking design, the Lisa was expensive, and its specially designed ‘Twiggy’ drives were notoriously unreliable. These ‘Twiggy’ drives were prone to frequent failures, which significantly hindered the commercial success of the Lisa. To address these issues, Apple quickly introduced the Lisa-2 with a modified front panel and standard floppy disk drive. Apple offered Lisa-1 owners a free upgrade to Lisa-2, requiring the return of the original front panel and Twiggy drives, which were then destroyed. As a result, a complete Lisa-1, like the one offered here, is extremely rare. It is estimated that only 30 to 100 Lisa-1 machines still exist today.

This Apple Lisa-1 is in exceptional condition, both visually and technically: it is fully functional except for one of the Twiggy drives. This Lisa-1 and its external Apple Profile hard disk run on EURO 220 volts, but can be changed with little effort to US 110 volts.

The system also includes original peripherals, software, and manuals required for operation: the Apple Lisa mouse, Apple Lisa keyboard, Apple ProFile 5MB hard drive (Model A9M1005, Serial No. 145361), Apple parallel interface, Apple Dot Matrix Printer, and Twiggy (or in Apple terminology, ‘File Ware’) diskettes with the following programs and German manuals: LisaDraw, LisaCalc, LisaList, LisaWrite, LisaGraph, and seven further diskettes. The mouse is particularly desirable as Apple’s first mouse—representing a major transition to point-and-click personal computing with Lisa’s revolutionary graphical user interface.

Development of the Lisa project began in 1978, aimed at individual business users. Officially, “Lisa” stood for ‘Local

Integrated Software Architecture,’ but it was also the name of Steve Jobs’ daughter. The Lisa was first introduced in January 1983 at a cost of $9,995, as one of the first commercial personal computers to have a GUI and a mouse. This initial, original model of Lisa computer features the dual, custom, 5 1/4” ‘Twiggy’ drives. These floppy drives, designed in-house at Apple, were innovative—featuring a high capacity, variable spindle speed, and were double-sided. The Lisa had initially been designed with the idea of running its operating system entirely from these disks. But due to the lack of speed, and the increasing needs of the operating system, the Lisa shipped with an external 5MB ProFile hard drive. The Twiggy drives, with their unique custom diskettes, high manufacture cost, and field unreliability, were soon replaced by Apple with a free upgrade to the later “Lisa 2” machine, which replaced disk drives with a single 3 1/2” Sony drive, and a new faceplate to accommodate it. As this was offered to customers at no charge, and Apple required the return of the original disk drives and faceplate, it is incredibly rare to find a surviving machine with the original Twiggy drives.

The Lisa did not do well in the marketplace. A large part of this was its hefty price tag, another the relative lack of available software. The machine was also perhaps too much of a radical change in computing environments, offering the graphical interface and the mouse to consumers for the first time. The Lisa was also fairly slow, and this was reflected in the user experience with the operating system. The Lisa did offer a vast array of advanced features, from multitasking to soft power, that took years to make it into other platforms. The Macintosh, released just a year later in 1984 inherited much of the graphical functionality, and the mouse from the Lisa—but did so at a far lower cost, and it was faster as well.

Apple attempted to market and sell the Lisa alongside the Macintosh—eventually releasing a modification kit to allow the Lisa hardware to run Macintosh software, and sold a somodified machine as the Macintosh XL. This had the distinct advantage of having a larger screen and a lot more memory, but was somewhat slower than an actual Macintosh due to the lower processor clock speed.

Ultimately, Lisa didn’t find commercial success, and sold only 10,000 units before being discontinued in 1985. On top of not selling well, many were subsequently traded in to Apple for a substantial discount on the Macintosh Plus—another factor in the rarity of the Lisa today. A rare, desirable, and complete example of a pioneering Apple product. Starting Bid $5,000

The mouse is particularly desirable as Apple’s first mouse—representing a major transition to point-and-click personal computing with Lisa’s revolutionary graphical user interface.

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.

Released with a whopping price tag orbiting $5000, the business-oriented Apple III computer, equipped with the Apple

SOS operating system, seemed predestined to fail. Designed to serve as the successor to the Apple II series, the Apple III suffered from stability issues shortly after its November 1980 release, which resulted in the first 14,000 machines produced being recalled. The bugs were fixed, but the computer’s reputation was not. The Apple III was discontinued on April 24, 1984, and its last successor, the III Plus, was dropped from the Apple product line in September 1985. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak stated that the primary reason for the Apple III’s failure was that the system was designed by Apple’s marketing department, unlike Apple’s previous engineering-driven projects.

At the time of the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984, Microsoft was the biggest third-party developer for Apple Computer. Bill Gates was so impressed with the Macintosh operating system—especially the novelty and user-friendliness of the GUI— that he convinced Apple to license the use of Macintosh features in Windows 1.0 and all future Microsoft software programs. Apple would bring a famous lawsuit against Microsoft in March 1988, in which courts found that any allegations of copyright infringement by Apple were covered by the existing license. By the time all related appeals and petitions came to an end in 1995, Microsoft had grown into a personal computing behemoth, and Apple teetered on the brink of collapse. Starting Bid $200

4060. Apple Macintosh SE Prototype. Desirable Macintosh SE computer prototype, serial no. F647BWXM5011, which indicates that it was manufactured in Fremont, California, during the 47th week [November 17–23] of 1986; the Macintosh SE would not be officially released until March 2, 1987. The case boasts several noticeable differences from the production units: it is constructed from a smoother, darker plastic; it is missing the Apple logo and screened-on “Macintosh SE” name from the front bezel; the icons are absent from the ports on the rear; and the Apple manufacturer’s label with FCC ID is missing from the back. Inside, the logic board appears to be a standard early production model: the serial number is M70208578; above jumper C57 it reads “Macintosh SE 8200176-B ©1986 630-4125”; underneath SIMM 3 it reads “Apple Computer 820-0176-B ©1986”; and along the side near the expansion slot it reads “TPB-D.VO.” The computer exhibits

Introduced in 1990, the NeXTcube was a high-end workstation computer (launched with a $7,995 list price) built to run the innovative NeXTSTEP operating system. Although NeXT’s computer hardware encountered subpar sales, the objectoriented NeXTSTEP operating system and development environment proved highly influential. The OS offered an intuitive GUI with features like an application dock, true multitasking, drag-and-drop tools, large full-color icons, real-time scrolling, and other elements that are considered ubiquitous today. Unix derivatives incorporating NeXTSTEP would eventually power all of Apple’s platforms, including the iPhone.

In October 1991, Apple released the first three PowerBooks: the low-end PowerBook 100, the more powerful PowerBook 140, and the high-end PowerBook 170, innovative machines with compact dark grey cases, a built-in trackball, and an upper keyboard that left room for palm rests on either side of the pointing device. This particular prototype model, which features a trackpad instead of a trackball, points to this being a prototype for the PowerBook 3400c, a laptop computer released in February 1997. Briefly the fastest laptop in the world, the 3400c used the PowerPC 603e processor to run at speeds of up to 240 MHz and was the first PowerBook to feature a PCI architecture, EDO memory, and a 64-bit wide, 40 MHz internal bus.

Per Maurice Sharp, a DTS Engineer at Apple, there were ‘a few different types of clear 110’s produced (in fact of any device),’ which consisted of DVT, PVT, and ‘pre-prod/ concept’ versions. It’s believed that less than 400 of these clear MessagePad 110s were produced. Starting Bid $200

Rare, sealed-in-box Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh

4075. Apple Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM) (Sealed). Very rare new-in-box example of the limited edition Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM), released by Apple in 1997 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the company’s founding.

This example remains sealed in its original box, with original specifications and shipping labels affixed outside.

This Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh set (Part No. M4934LL/A, Serial No. MW7483YJ8HA) includes the computer with a builtin 12.1” LCD screen, Bose speakers, and vertically-mounted CD-ROM drive; keyboard with built-in trackpad; base unit power supply/subwoofer; remote control; and user’s manual. Despite its feature-rich technology, the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh was met with slow sales, presumably 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). Starting Bid $300

4076. Apple iMac Lime Green Computer in Original Box.

Tested to boot up and in overall fine cosmetic condition.

The iMac G3 was introduced in 1998 in a great variety of fruity colors—from blueberry to tangerine—which proved essential to the marketing strategy of Steve Jobs and Apple. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the iMac G3 helped popularize USB and was one of the first computers to eliminate the floppy drive, signaling a shift towards new technology standards. The G3’s mixture of speed, style, and affordability reinvigorated Apple Computer—the company went from losing $878 million in 1997 to making its first profit in three years in 1998.

Known as the ‘clamshell’ and inspired by the colorful line of G3 iMacs, the original iBook was introduced in 1999 to much success, targeting the entry-level consumer and education markets. Vestiges of its distinctive design are still seen across Apple’s notebook lineups: the iBook moved interface ports from the back to the sides (and left them uncovered), omitted a latch for the computer’s lid, and provided multiple color options. The original iBook is on exhibition at the London Design Museum and the Yale University Art Gallery. This complete lineup of all five colors—each in its distinctive, matching box—makes for an impressive display. Starting Bid $200

The collection of Dennis Gobets

Just as Apple’s latest creation, the Lisa, was about to launch, the company brought in new recruit Dennis Gobets to the crew. Beginning his career in 1982, he started his 11 year tenure in the Creative Services Team as a print and graphic coordinator, working all the way up to Senior Production Manager. In a time before the internet, when almost everything was paper and assembled by hand, Gobets and his team had a tough job. But, he and his team were dedicated.

During this time he saw some of the company’s most iconic ads brought to life: the successful ‘1984’ Macintosh ad and even the company-defining ‘Think Different’ campaign.

One of his daughters recalled her fascination when visiting his gray office building off North De Anza Boulevard – calling it “the tech equivalent of Willy Wonka’s Factory.” How in the meetings she attended with her father, they were surrounded by people who mirrored his enthusiasm for innovation.

“I… remember my father’s ear to ear grin as he flagged

down some dude named ‘Woz’ and introduced me,” said his daughter Ember. “The people of Creative Services were some of the most talented folk the not-yet-Silicon Valley had to offer.”

While the world saw the results of their hard work, inside the office his colleagues got their own taste of his design exploits, especially during special occasions and events. He accumulated a personal collection filled with specially branded items like shirts, jackets, and brochures down to the niche: letter openers, paper weights, pins, and much more. He even had the honor of assisting in the creation of a sleek invitation for Steve Jobs’s 30th birthday party. If it wasn’t bolted down or stationary, he would find a way to bring it home.

In another story, he came home with a cut-out of a hot air balloon – a remnant he rescued from a rare Donner Lake Apple poster – found discarded behind his office.

RR Auction is proud to have the honor to share the collection of someone whose commitment contributed to the success of one of the world’s biggest companies.

Apple’s legacy in print—rare planning documents and production notes from the 1984 Annual Report, with signed photo releases from Jim Henson, Stephen Sondheim, Kurt Vonnegut, and others

4082. Apple Computer: 1984 Annual Report Archive with Production Notes and Documents, including Signed Waivers from Jim Henson, Kurt Vonnegut, and Stephen Sondheim. Unique and historically significant archive that provides a comprehensive look behind the scenes of one of Apple Inc.’s most iconic projects: the 1984 Annual Report. This collection, originating from the personal archive of Dennis Gobets, Apple’s Production Manager from 1982 to 1997, offers unparalleled insight into the meticulous planning, coordination, and execution of this landmark publication.

This extensive archive contains printed meeting notes, budget and mailing information, preliminary design sketches, and, most importantly, a group of six releases signed by well-known Macintosh users Jim Henson, Stephen Sondheim, Kurt Vonnegut, Ted Turner (2), Maya Lin, and Dianne Feinstein, who granted Apple permission to use their photographs and stories in the report. The Sondheim and Turner releases include TLSs from the respective figure, the Lin includes an ALS, and each release includes the original form letter that was sent to the participant. In overall fine condition.

The 1984 Annual Report is renowned not only for its detailed financial and operational review of a pivotal year in Apple’s history but also for its innovative design and influential content. This year marked the release of the original Macintosh, a revolutionary product that redefined personal computing. The report is a testament to Apple’s commitment to excellence and innovation, overseen by Dennis Gobets, whose role was crucial in bringing this project to fruition. This comprehensive archive not only documents the production of the 1984 Apple Annual Report but also encapsulates a significant moment

in the history of technology and design. A unique opportunity to own a piece of history that highlights the intersection of technology, creativity, and strategic communication.

A sampling of quotes pulled from the archive:

- “Meeting Scheduled for Aug. 6 with Sculley/Jobs to get buy off on concepts. Next steps are full sized prototypes.”

- “Presentation of concept to Jobs/Sculley 7/20. Begin contact of participants, distribution of Macs and orientation immediately after.”

- “We will make it really easy and simple to the participants. We need to induct them with Apple values and get them very excited about Macintosh.”

- “East Coast trip week of 9/3/84 - Rockefeller, Pei, Vonnegut, Letterman?”

- “1984, a banner year for Apple. This is the year we turned the wave around and laid building blocks/the foundation for the future for the company. We’ve taken big risk and we’ve pulled through; we’ve proven we can succeed.”

- “We must illustrate the importance and significance of our products through the ‘portfolio’ concept, and not end up with a variety of cute drawings generated on Macintosh.”

- “We must focus upon the people of Apple who were responsible for our success, and not just focus upon the executive staff.”

- “The first section would focus upon the people who have been so instrumental in the successes mentioned above. We would execute this photographically.”

- “The second section would be a ‘portfolio’ containing the work of a cross-section of 10 to 15 famous as well as not famous people. These people either are currently using our products, or would be given new products to use.” Starting Bid $500

Working typescript and sealed first edition of the Apple 10th anniversary book, So Far: The First Ten Years of a Vision, with insightful letter from the Apple production manager tasked with the book’s publication

4083. Apple Computer Working Typescript of ‘So Far: The First Ten Years of a Vision,’ with Sealed First Edition and Letter from Apple Production Manager. Fascinating group lot of items related to the production of the 1987 book So Far: The First Ten Years of a Vision, which was published to commemorate the company’s 10th anniversary. The lot includes a bracket-bound 66-page working typescript of the book, with the front cover marked “X” in red felt tip; a hardcover first edition sealed in its original cellophane wrapper; and a printed copy of a typed letter from Apple production manager Dennis Gobets, dated September 21, 1987, with the memo title “Recap of expenses incurred by publishing the ‘So Far’ book,” which begins with a quote from an irate Steve Jobs: “What the fuck happened.”

In his letter, Gobets touches on several aspects of the book’s publication, including its unusual production timeline (“Why did we choose a somewhat different method? Because we had less than 3 months to write, design, print and deliver our book. This is unheard of in the book publishing world”), the standard book production process (“Step 1. Somebody writes a manuscript. Step 2. Somebody else edits it. Step 3. The publisher brings in his legal beagles to make certain his chances of getting sued by the subjects of the book are slim”), and finishing touches (“I started to round up potential publishers who could meet our timeframe and quality standards. The stated timeframe was mid-April to mid-May, after rejecting the idea of delivering for the Shareholders’ Meeting in mid-January”). In overall fine condition. Starting Bid $200

Incredible 36-foot by 25-foot section of the famed Apple ‘rainbow’ logo hot air balloon

4084. Apple Computer ‘Lake Donner’ Hot Air Balloon Section (36 feet x 25 feet). Massive section of ripstop nylon removed from the iconic Apple Computer hot air balloon that was famously pictured by photographer Jim Guss floating over Lake Donner in California during the company’s 1981 promotional campaign. The section, which approximately measures 36˝ x 25˝, features the iconic Apple ‘rainbow’ logo against a black background with a purple trademark symbol to the lower right. In fine condition, with expected wear from use. Accompanied by a rare original color 21.25 x 33 Apple Computer promotional poster of the ‘rainbow’ logo balloon, with this offered section pictured to the balloon’s left side.

In addition to flying over Lake Donner, the Apple hot air balloon was also present at the wedding of Steve Wozniak to his second wife, Candice Clark, on June 13, 1981. For reasons unknown, the fate of the balloon was relegated to the landfill, but not before Apple production manager Dennis Gobets, recognizing its significance, chose to cut out this enormous rainbow-colored section. Although unconfirmed, this may be the only surviving remnant of one of history’s most recognizable hot air balloons. Starting Bid $500

NSFW, unless it’s mid-1986

Apple Computer

—“Fuck you, Chiat/Day. Seriously.”— rare in-house ad from Apple’s Creative Services department, a cutting retort to Steve Jobs’ ‘Congratulations’ letter in The Wall Street Journal

4085. Apple Computer Wall Street Journal Parody Advertisement“Fuck you, Chiat/Day. Seriously.” Extremely rare parody full-page Wall Street Journal newspaper advertisement printed by the Creative Services department of Apple Computer, with the bold uncensored headline, “Fuck you, Chiat/Day. Seriously.,” an in-house spoof printed as an acerbic alternative to Steve Jobs’s gracious full-page ‘thank you’ letter to the New York City advertising agency following Apple’s dismissal of the company on May 27, 1986. Jobs, then no longer with Apple, had his letter printed in The Wall Street Journal on the same day. It featured the famous headline: “Congratulations, Chiat/Day. Seriously.”

Imaged above: Photocopies of the real ads ran in the WSJ.

The realistic full-page ad, 15 x 23, reads, in full: “Congratulations. You think you’re so smart. You really do. You think you won some big ones. You didn’t. You were wrong all along. Apple doesn’t stand for blondes with big hooters and a hammer. Apple stands for middle managers. The kind you push off cliffs. You said we could sell 128K Macs to business. Then you screwed up Test Drive. You said you needed an Apple III that worked to shoot an ad. Did you have to take our only one? You’re washed up. Even Nike thinks so. And what about your big ideas? What about double page ads in The Wall Street Journal? If that was so smart, how come you guys run single page ads for yourselves in The Mercury News? No wonder we were losing money last year. We won’t even mention how you guys named and priced Lisa, then changed your mind after the Macintosh intro. changed Listen. You’re fired. And remember. We were real guys about it. We did the agency review dance. Thank God we didn’t blow a million bucks on Super Bowl ‘86. And finally, just get one thing very straight: We don’t need your kind of creative lunatics around here no more. Seriously. P.S. We want our hammer back.” The reverse of the page, which contains actual articles printed in the May 28, 1986 issue of The Wall Street Journal, bears an affixed photocopy of an Advertising Age article from June 30, 1986, which covers the spoof article’s leak and bears the headline, “‘Ad’ flips Chiat the bird – is it a cheap shot?” In fine condition. The consignor notes that several of these full-page ads were surreptitiously printed and placed into Wall Street Journal newspapers for Apple employees to discover.

A fascinating piece of Apple Computer history that reveals the internal frustrations of the company’s creative department with Chiat/Day, the agency responsible for some of Apple’s most memorable advertising campaigns, including the legendary ‘1984’ Super Bowl commercial, which introduced the Macintosh computer. When Apple parted ways with the agency in 1986, the decision was made under the leadership of then-CEO John Sculley, who opted to switch to the agency BBDO1. Steve Jobs, who had left Apple the previous year and collaborated closely with Lee Clow, the creative director at Chiat/Day, publicly criticized this move, suggesting it indicated a shift away from Apple’s innovative spirit. As such, his “Congratulations” letter to the agency was also an unsubtle parting shot at Apple. Starting Bid $200

Apple’s iconic rainbow logo, used from 1977 to 1997, features a multicolored apple with a bite taken out of it. Designed by Rob Janoff at the request of Steve Jobs, the logo became synonymous with Apple’s user-friendly technology during its early years. The colorful design was phased out in favor of a monochrome version in the mid-1990s, and thus removed from the company’s Silicon Valley HQ.

Provenance: removed from the side of Building 3, where it faced east and could be seen from a distance as one headed north on highway 280, and given to a longtime Apple employee in 1997; sold at Bonhams as part of lot 187, The Story of the 20th Century, June 4, 2014. Starting Bid $1,000

The inner collar bears its original DeLong label, and the left wrist retains a portion of the DeLong tag. In fine condition.

The Shoreline Amphitheatre was built in 1985–1986 by the city of Mountain View, in cooperation with Wozniak and legendary promoter Bill Graham, who assisted Wozniak with the US Festivals. Despite the heavy financial losses suffered by the US Festivals, the two men reunited as partners for the Shoreline Amphitheatre, the largest live-music venue between San Francisco and San Jose. In a 2005 interview conducted with the University of California, Berkeley, Wozniak was asked if he still went to live music concerts. His response: ‘Absolutely. I was one of the founders of the Shoreline Amphitheatre with Bill Graham and I have been to almost every concert since it opened in 1986.’ Starting Bid $200

Apple and Matt Groening team up to sell the Macintosh to college students in 1989, the year The Simpsons debuted on television

4154. Matt Groening (3) Rare Macintosh Promotional Items - Booklet, Poster, T-Shirt. Scarce set of three Apple items by Simpsons creator Matt Groening, which were released in 1989 to promote the use of Macintosh computers in higher education:

Scarce softcover Apple booklet entitled ‘Who Needs a Computer Anyway? A Student’s Guide,’ 16 pages, 7.5 x 7.5, published by Apple Computer in 1989, and illustrated by Simpsons creator Matt Groening, who, in addition to the front and back covers, provided nine character drawings of college student types, such as ‘The Clueless,’ ‘The Schizoid,’ ‘The Procrastinator,’ ‘The Imperfectionist,’ ‘The Unemployed,’ ‘The Starving Student,’ ‘The Technoid,’ ‘The Stressed’ and ‘The Overwhelmed,’ the latter two characters represented by the one-eared rabbit Bongo from Groening’s popular Life in Hell comic strip; interestingly, the designs of the ‘Procrastinator’ and the ‘Technoid’ resemble those of Simpsons characters Nelson Muntz and Milhouse Van Houten, respectively.

Color 23.25 x 32 poster entitled “Bongo’s Dream Dorm,” which shows the one-eared Life in Hell character in bed dreaming about an incredible dorm containing a swimming pool (with pet dolphin), a shark-filled moat, a helicopter pad, a robot chef, a circular revolving waterbed, and, of course, a Macintosh computer. The lower portion features a red Apple logo below the text: “Macintosh. Part of every student’s wildest dreams.”

Extra-large white t-shirt with the front featuring the same “Bongo’s Dream Dorm” image drawing, and the back with the red Apple logo and text: “Macintosh. Part of every student’s wildest dreams.” In overall fine condition, with a pinhole to the top of booklet, a small stain to the front of shirt, and a small area of dampstaining to the bottom edge of poster.

Intent on marketing squarely to college students, Apple hired the drawing talents of Matt Groening, whose Life in Hell comic strip and subsequent spin-off books had successfully found their way into youth culture. Coincidentally, the very year these items were released, Groening’s The Simpsons made its series premiere on Fox Television with a half-hour Christmas special on December 17, 1989. A rare, humorous, and fascinating mash-up of Groening-meets-Apple merchandise. Starting Bid $300

4168. Apple Computer Baseball Shirt.

4170. Apple Cafe Promotional Jacket (1997) - Conceptual Predecessor to the Apple Store. Rare circa 1997 promotional jacket for the “Apple Cafe,” a conceptual cybercafe and predecessor to the Apple retail store where customers could gather to eat, do business, and use Apple computers. The black barn-style zippered jacket, size large, 100% cotton, features brass-tone buttons to the collar, pockets, and cuffs, a small Apple rainbow logo to the left chest, and the back bears the Apple Cafe emblem, which shows six pictograms orbiting around an uncommon globe-inspired Apple logo. The collar retains its Hilton Active Apparel label. In fine condition. The consignor notes that the jacket was obtained from a project member who affirmed that this was the only promotional item that the team received.

Not long after Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, the company began working on a conceptual cybercafe where clientele could order food, watch movies, surf the web, play video games, and, of course, buy Apple products. The project was the ‘Apple Cafe’ and it was very nearly a done deal; Apple was far enough along in the design process that there was a website promoting the Apple Cafe, and planned openings in Paris, London, New York, Tokyo, and Sydney, but the stores never materialized. Although the jacket’s logo doesn’t resemble the clean, simple design of today’s Apple, the central idea — connecting with customers — inspired both the cafe and Apple’s eventual line of retail stores.

4204. Apple iPad: First Generation Prototype (2009). Rare circa 2009 prototype of the first-generation Apple iPad, which boots up the SwitchBoard utility, an in-house Apple launcher program for diagnostic and debugging tools used in development. The iPad prototype measures approximately 9.5˝ x 7.5˝ x .5˝, and the caseback features only the Apple logo, with no FCC notice or model information as seen on the final product. The unit reports about 2GB of storage, compared to the minimum of 16GB shipped in the retail model.

Previously from the collection of world-renowned Apple hardware collector Henry ‘Hap’ Plain III, and accompanied by his letter of provenance.

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. Starting Bid $1,000

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.”

Announced on October 22, 2013, the iPad Air was billed as a ‘dramatically thinner, lighter, and more powerful iPad.’ Featuring a stunning 9.7-inch Retina display in sleeker form factor, the iPad Air was 20 percent thinner and 28 percent lighter than the fourth generation iPad. ‘iPad created an entirely new mobile computing experience, and the new iPad Air is another big leap ahead. It is so thin, light and powerful, once you hold one in your hand you will understand what a tremendous advancement this is,’ said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing. Starting Bid $200

The front of the box features a side-profile image of the miniature tablet, and the back lists the device’s specifications. In brand new, factory-sealed condition, with a retail label to the top edge.

On October 23, 2012, Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, introduced the iPad Mini: ‘iPad mini is as thin as a pencil and as light as a pad of paper, yet packs a fast A5 chip, FaceTime HD and 5 megapixel iSight cameras and ultrafast wireless— all while delivering up to 10 hours of battery life.’ Starting Bid $200

Elusive factory-sealed 4GB original iPhone— the ‘holy grail’ of all modern Apple products

4211. Apple iPhone - Rare 4GB Model (First Generation, Sealed). Exceedingly rare unopened first generation, first release original Apple iPhone, Model A1203, Part No. MA501LL/A (4GB), Serial No. 7R72880AVR0. 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, with a few pulls and marks to the plastic wrap, including a small rip to the front of the wrap.

Original, sealed Apple products have seen a dramatic increase in interest from collectors in recent years, with iPhones regularly achieving new record prices. Although we have offered several sealed 8GB iPhones, this is just the third sealed 4GB model we have encountered. It is considered the ‘holy grail’ of all modern Apple items—a similar example attracted worldwide media attention when it sold for over $190,000 at another auction in July 2023. Starting Bid $5,000

Pristine 4GB original first-gen iPhone, with its original box and accessories

4212. Apple iPhone - Rare 4GB Model (First Generation). Scarce first generation, first release original Apple iPhone, Model A1203, Part No. MA501LL/A (4GB), Serial No. YM7231BHVR0. 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. Although this phone has been opened and activated, it remains in pristine, apparently unused condition, and is running 1.0 software. It is complete with the original box and accessories—earbuds, dock, USB cable, and AC power adapter (all in their original plastic)—and the accompanying Cingular SIM card remains uninstalled, intact within its original punch card. Additionally includes an original iPhone bag.

Sealed examples of the 4GB iPhone are considered the ‘holy grails’ of all modern Apple items—one attracted worldwide media attention when it sold for over $190,000 at another auction in July 2023. Though unsealed, this remarkable example is in pristine, unused condition—an ideal first-gen iPhone. Starting Bid $200

In brand new, factory-sealed condition.

‘iPhone is a revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone,’ Steve Jobs said during his keynote speech that introduced the innovative product. He was right. Developed in secrecy, the original iPhone is

the smartphone that transformed the industry, revolutionizing cellphone design as one of the first ‘slate’ form factor phones. The iPhone removed nearly all physical controls in favor of an easy-to-use capacitive touchscreen interface. 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 $1,000

The underside of the box lists the device’s specifications. In brand new, factory-sealed condition, with light dings to box corners and edges.

The versatile second-generation iPod, introduced by Apple in July 2002, brought several enhancements and changes compared to its 1st-gen predecessor, which included upgraded storage capacity (5, 10, and 20 GB models), an innovative Touch Wheel, an improved FireWire port, advanced software with additional functionality, and Windows compatibility, which was achieved through Musicmatch, as iTunes was not yet available for the Microsoft platform. Starting Bid $300

4220. Apple iPod (3rd Generation, Sealed, 15GB). Unopened third generation Apple iPod, Part No. M9460LL/A, Serial No. JQ406FYVQQF (15GB).

The underside of the box lists the device’s specifications. In brand new, factory-sealed condition.

The completely redesigned third-generation iPod, introduced by Apple in the spring of 2003, replaced the FireWire port with a new proprietary 30-pin Dock Connector and introduced the Touch Wheel, a completely non-mechanical interface with the four auxiliary buttons located in a row between the screen and the touch wheel. ‘The competition hasn’t even caught up with our first generation iPod, and we’re introducing our third generation,’ said Steve Jobs as he unveiled the music player. Starting Bid $300

4221. Apple iPod U2 Special Edition (2004, Sealed - 20GB).

In brand new, factory-sealed condition.

Released in early 2004 to extend the reach of the iPod to a broader audience, the iPod+HP was essentially a fourth generation iPod with the HP logo. However, the iPod+HP was an official HP product, as all repair issues were directed to an HP Authorized Service Center. HP later added the iPod mini, the iPod photo, and the iPod shuffle to the lineup, but the partnership ultimately ended a year later when HP terminated the deal. Starting Bid $300

4223. Apple iPod (5th Generation, Sealed, 80GB). Unopened fifth generation Apple iPod, Part No. MA450LL/A (80GB, Black), Serial No. S701086V9R.

Released as a ‘revised’ version of the fifth generation iPod on September 12, 2006, the 80GB iPod offered improved battery life for slideshow and video playbacks as well as a very slight change in software giving the user the ‘search’ ability. ‘The world’s best digital music player has evolved into the world’s most popular portable video player too,’ said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. ‘The new iPod’s brighter and more vibrant display and longer battery life make it perfect for watching Hollywood movies and TV shows right in the palm of your hand.’ Starting Bid $200

The box features front and side views of the player, with the device’s specifications on the back in English and French (as it was packaged for sale in the Canadian market). In brand new, factory-sealed condition.

The ‘classic’ suffix was formally introduced with the rollout of the sixth-generation iPod on September 5, 2007, in order to help distinguish it from the new iPod Touch and Nano. ‘The first iPod put 1,000 songs in your pocket—this new iPod classic can put 40,000 songs in your pocket,’ said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. ‘With a thinner, all-metal enclosure and an enhanced user interface, the iPod classic is ideal for people who want to hold everything on their iPod.’ Starting Bid $200

4225. Apple iPod Mini (2nd Generation, Sealed - Silver, 4GB). Unopened second generation original silver Apple iPod Mini, Part No. M9800LL/A (4GB), Serial No. 4U509JWYS41. The box features life-size front and side images of the iPod Mini, a list of the music player’s specifications, and text reading: “iPod mini, 4GB 1000 songs PC+Mac.” In brand new, factorysealed condition.

Unveiled on February 23, 2005, the popular second-gen device saw a price reduction and improved battery life: ‘The iPod mini is now available at the magic price point of $199,’ said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. ‘At this breakthrough price point, and with more than twice the battery life, the new iPod mini should appeal to even more music lovers.’ The iPod Mini quickly gained popularity due to its compact size, stylish design, and impressive storage capacity, and became one of Apple’s best-selling iPod models. The iPod Mini was ultimately discontinued by Apple a year later in September 2005, as the company shifted its focus to the iPod Nano, which offered a slimmer design and flash-based storage. Starting Bid $200

4226. Apple iPod Nano (1st Generation, Sealed - 2GB, Black). Unopened first generation original black Apple iPod Nano, Part No. MA099LL/A (2GB), Serial No. 5U62893STJT.

In brand new, factory-sealed condition.

On September 7, 2005, Apple introduced the iPod Nano at a media event with Steve Jobs pointing to the small watch pocket in his jeans and asking, ‘Ever wonder what this pocket is for?’ With much of the emphasis on its small size—1.6? wide, 3.5? long, and .27? thick, with a weight of 42 grams—the Nano also served as a worthy replacement for the adored but short-lived iPod Mini. Per Jobs: ‘The iPod Nano is the biggest revolution since the original iPod. We’ve taken the best-selling MP3 player in the world and made it better with a thinner design, color screen, and a brand new user interface.’ Starting Bid $200

4228. Apple iPod Nano (1st Generation, Sealed - 2GB, White). Unopened first generation original white Apple iPod Nano, Part No. MA004LL/A (2GB), Serial No. YM544Z06SZB .

The iPod Nano turned to a shorter, wider design for its third generation, with new features including a larger screen, Cover Flow browser, a new user interface, video playback, and support for new iPod games. 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.’ Starting Bid $200

4230. Apple iPod Shuffle (1st Generation, Sealed1GB). Unopened first generation original Apple iPod Shuffle, Part No. MA134LL/A (1GB), Serial No. 4H62365GRSA, sealed in its original retail plastic blister pack.

Sometimes it’s good to mix things up. With iPod shuffle your music is never the same experience twice. How does it know which song to play next? Can it read your mind? Can it read your moods? Load it up. Put it on. See where it takes you 240 songs, a million different ways.” In brand new, factory-sealed condition, with some minor scuffing to the plastic blister packaging.

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

Four months after founding Google, Inc., Larry Page makes a “Hi Tech” purchase Computer History

4239. Google: Larry Page Signed Check - PSA NMMT 8. Google, Inc. business check, 6 x 2.75, filled out in another hand and signed by Page, “Lawrence Page,” payable to Hi Tech USA for $16,185.54, January 8, 1999 [with “98” written erroneously in the first days of the new year]. Google’s address is given as “555 Bryant #106, Palo Alto, CA 94301.” In fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “NM-MT 8.”

The consignor notes: “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…

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

Mere months after founding Google, Inc., Brin pays for “Executive

Photos” from the

company’s first Palo Alto address

4240. Google: Sergey Brin Signed Check for “Executive Photos” - PSA NM-MT 8. Google, Inc. business check, 6 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Brin, “Sergey Brin,” payable to Photo Express for $329.08, February 4, 1999, with the memo noting: “Executive Photos.” Google’s address is given as “555 Bryant #106, Palo Alto, CA 94301.” In fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “NM-MT 8.”

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 five months later, is therefore one of the earliest checks written after the founding of Google. Moreover, it appears to represent an early investment in their corporate image—a payment for “executive photos,” presumably of co-founders Brin and Page, who served as president and CEO, respectively.

The

ENIAC co-creator offers a history of computer memory as of 1970:

“Perhaps the major problem of building an electronic computer in the beginning was the high-speed memory required. In ENIAC it consisted of tubes, relays, plugs, switches, and resistor arrays”

4241. J. Presper Eckert Autograph Speech Draft Archive: “Computers of the 70s / Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow in Computer Technology”. Electrical engineer and computer pioneer (1919–1995) who designed the first general-purpose electronic digital computer (ENIAC) with John Mauchly, and designed the first commercial computer in the United States (the UNIVAC). J. Presper Eckert’s handwritten rough draft and hand-corrected drafts of a speech delivered in Zurich, Helsinki, and Tokyo, circa 1970, highlighted by a 26-page autograph draft (headed “Computers of the 70s by J. Presper Eckert”) and a hand-corrected typed draft (entitled “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow in Computer Technology”), comprising 12 typed pages plus 16 pages of handwritten insertions. Additionally includes a 12-page photocopy of the speech, an 8-page photocopy of galley proofs of the speech, and several pages of original and mimeographed correspondence, telegrams, and papers related to Eckert’s travels and speaking engagements.

Eckert’s address amounts to a history of computer memory technology since his co-creation of ENIAC, with important predictions for the future. In part: “When John Mauchly and I started in 1943 to study electronic computers, we recognized many new problems. Let me review some of these problems and see where we stand on them today. Before doing that, however, in 1943, a mechanical machine called the Mark I had already been started at Harvard University. This machine was already over 100 times faster than an unaided man in doing arithmetic, but it was electro-mechanical. It could have led to relay machines 100 times faster than itself or 10,000 times faster than man. However, Mauchly and I decided to leapfrog such developments and build a self-operating machine to be called ENIAC. It was 1,000 times the speed of Mark I or 100,000 times the speed of man. Since then, machines have

been announced which are over 1,000 times the speed of ENIAC and are thus 100,000,000 times the speed of a human being with pencil and paper.

Perhaps the major problem of building an electronic computer in the beginning was the high-speed memory required. In ENIAC it consisted of tubes, relays, plugs, switches, and resistor arrays. It cost between $25 and $500 per digit depending on whether it was read-only memory, set by switches, or fully electronic flip-flop memory. Today I believe our best solution to this problem, except for small memories, say less than 100,000 bits, is some sort of magnetic thin film memory. The most practical so far is the plated wire memory now in use for several years. This now costs no more than equivalent core memory and is faster, more compact, and takes less power. Present wire memories are hundreds of times faster than most of the memory in ENIAC.

Further development on this wire memory will drive the cost of wire memory down to less than one cent per bit, in sizes of 10,000,000 bits or more. Wire film memories of the 70’s will probably be less expensive than core memories and less expensive than semi-conductor memories of equivalent size and speed. We already have experimental wire memory arrays which can read and write in less than one-tenth of a microsecond. Calculations indicate that a memory cycle of a microsecond (50 nanoseconds) seems possible based on present wire and semi-conductor limitations. By interlacing several wire memories in time and by properly anticipating the conditional transfers which occur in a routine, a speed of 5 to 10 times the fastest computers announced today can probably be achieved. And without resort to complex buffer or cache memory arrangements used in some of today’s newest computers.” In overall fine condition. Starting Bid $300

Rare complete PDP-8 minicomputer— a pivotal piece of the computer revolution

4242. Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP-8 Minicomputer Collection. Comprehensive collection of vintage hardware, software, and documentation for the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP-8 minicomputer—one of the first commercially successful minicomputers, informally known as the ‘Straight-8.’ Introduced in 1965 as the first transistorized microcomputer to retail for under $20,000, its relatively low cost and compact size revolutionized the industry, paving the way for widespread adoption of digital computing. Historical records indicate that 1,450 ‘Straight 8s’ were manufactured and today only a handful of complete systems are known to still exist.

Designed by DEC engineer Edson DeCastro, the PDP-8’s use of diode-transistor logic and modular design set new standards for future computer engineering. The PDP-8 utilizes diode transistor logic (DTL) implemented on printed circuit boards known as “FlipChips,” DECs name for its logic modules. The PDP-8 is a 12 bit computer with 4096 12 bits of core (nonvolatile magnetic memory) with the capability of being expanded to 32K. In its heyday, the PDP-8 was used for real time data acquisition, typesetting, and general purpose computing using languages such as BASIC, FOCAL, FORTRAN, and ALGOL. Instructions and data are toggled into the machine’s memory via the switches on the computer’s front panel.

This PDP-8 appears to have been initially purchased by University Computing Company of Texas, as evidenced by the asset tag on the computer’s frame; it also came with a custom silk-screened panel identifying it as one from a University Computing Company remote terminal, implying that the that the computer may have been used as a remote terminal concentrator as UCC provided contract computer services in the 1960s. It was subsequently purchased by the

present owner in 1975 and used as a hobby computer until the early 2000s. This PDP-8 system includes an ASR-33 teletype hardcopy terminal as well as additional racks and supplementary hardware, including 213 spare FlipChips of various types, three TU55 DECtape drives installed in a DEC H960 tall rack (albeit without a TC01 DECtape controller), two additional H960 racks containing power distribution controllers as well as power supplies, a wire wrap backplane and an RK05 disk storage shelf. A DEC H967 heavy duty short rack also accompanies the system.

A library of paper tape software included with the system has over 290 individual tapes cataloged. Most of the tapes are DEC and DECUS (Digital Equipment Computer User Society) original tapes. There are also copies of original DEC/DECUS tapes included as well as evolutionary updates to the diagnostic programs. The library includes hardware diagnostics, known as “MAINDECS” as well as languages, utility programs, and system builder programs. Software documentation includes approximately 128 documents for programs. Hardware documentation is comprised of manuals, including two copies the PDP-8 Maintenance Manual, engineering drawings, Users Handbook, Small Computer Handbook 66-67 First Edition, various editions of the DEC Logic Handbook describing the various FlipChips. Much of the documentation was obtained from the High Energy Physics group at Case Western Reserve University when they retired their PDP-8 systems in the early 1980s.

A detailed prospectus prepared by the consignor, offering a comprehensive overview of the system and its individual components, is available online at RRAuction.com. This system will be crated and shipped from Ohio; the buyer is responsible for all associated costs. Starting Bid $1,000

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

4245. 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 offwhite 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.

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

4265. 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. Starting Bid $500

One of two in private hands—Super Red Baron electro-mechanical arcade game, an early WW1 airplane cockpit shooter

4266. Super Red Baron Arcade Video Game (Nutting, 1972). Rare restored Super Red Baron electro-mechanical arcade game manufactured by Nutting Industries (MCI) and originally released in 1972. Housed in its original cabinet, 24˝ x 72˝ x 30˝, with terrific World War I-themed designs to the lower panel, marquee, and side panels, which bear marvelous stenciled portraits of the Red Baron, who looks strikingly similar to Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. The control panel is meticulously designed to replicate a vintage aircraft dashboard, complete with functional fuel dials, alongside a joystick and buttons that deliver an authentic gaming experience. The arcade has been professionally restored and is in beautiful condition, with minimal scuffs and wear. The game functions at 85% and needs adjustment in several areas inside, but remains in working condition, with sounds, lights, and action. The cabinet is 100% complete with doors and keys and has wheels mounted on the bottom for easy transportation. One of two known to be in private collections, this Super Red Baron arcade is an exceptional piece for any serious collector or enthusiast of retro arcade games.

In 1971, Dave Nutting formed a new company called Milwaukee Coin Industries. MCI’s main business was the manufacture of projection screen games, crude ancestors to the laser disc games of the mid-80s that used images from a film disc or strip projected on a screen to create a realistic background for arcade games. MCI released several projection games including Red Baron, an inspiration for his Red Baron Amusement Center arcade locations that he opened in 1972. Starting Bid $500

The Golden Age of Arcade games—ASTEROIDS

4268. Atari: Asteroids Arcade Video Game. Original Asteroids arcade video game manufactured by Atari, Inc., and originally released in November 1979. Housed in its original cabinet, 24˝ x 72˝ x 30˝, with classic stylized sci-fi designs to the side panels, marquee, inner monitor, and control plate, which features game instructions, player select, and buttons for rotating left and right, hyperspace, thrust, and fire. The monitor is clear, and the vector graphics display is functioning perfectly, bringing the game’s asteroids, saucers, and spaceships to vivid life. The back features the Atari manufacturing label, identifying this machine as Model No. 215XX and Serial No. 43783. The cabinet includes its original coin door key and a rare original ‘Asteroids’ self-test procedure guide. In fine, fully functioning condition, with trivial scuffs and wear to the cabinet, and some expected wear to the controller graphics.

A cherished piece of gaming history, celebrated for its groundbreaking vector graphics and timeless gameplay that captivated a generation. Asteroids was one of the first major hits of the golden age of arcade games. The game was immediately successful upon release and displaced Space Invaders by popularity in the United States to become Atari’s best-selling arcade game of all time, with over 70,000 units sold. Atari earned an estimated $150 million in sales from Asteroids, and arcade operators earned a further $500 million from coin drops. Starting Bid $500

Elusive 2-player ‘green sparkle’ version of Computer Space, the first arcade video game ever created

4267. Computer Space 2-Player Arcade Video Game (Nutting, 1973). Rare original two-player edition of the Computer Space arcade video game manufactured by Nutting Associates and released in July 1973, two years after the original one-player edition released by Syzygy Engineering, the company that evolved into Atari, made history by becoming the first arcade video game ever created and the first commercially available video game. The game is enclosed in its original futuristic green sparkle (metallic flake) fiberglass cabinet, the only color option issued for this version, and approximately measures 29.5˝ x 66.5˝ x 32˝, with the back bearing the Nutting Association parts label, which reads: “Model No. 724C, Serial No. 30543.” The front control panel features a 25-cent quarter slot, a coin return button, a red ‘Start Game’ button, a green “Two Player Operation” button, and two original rotational joysticks topped with red “Fire Missile” buttons. The game’s simple gameplay instructions, printed beneath the monitor, read as follows:

1. Insert quarter; press two-player if desired; press start button. (Two-player option must be selected before start button is pressed.)

2. In one-player operation, player one is pitted against the computer-controlled saucer.

3. In two-player operation, player one and player two are pitted against each other.

4. In one-player operation, outscore computer-controlled saucer for extended play.

Included with the arcade is a hand-drawn schematic entitled “Two-Player Computer Space, Chassis Wiring,” drawn by Walter Anderson on May 17, 1973; a “Pre-Installation Inspection” check sheet, and a “Two-Player Computer Space Trouble-Shooting Guide” from April 1973, which includes a 3-page section for “Some Typical Failure Symptoms.” The cabinet is in fine condition, with only some slight scuffing and scratching, mostly concentrated on the lower right side; one joystick is slightly loose, and the machine itself lights up and the screen is functional, but the game is not in proper playing

status. Original working 2-player Computer Space arcades are practically unobtainable and very rarely offered for public sale, with this example all the more impressive for its immaculate cabinet and original parts.

A coin-operated derivative of the 1962 computer game Spacewar!, the original one-player 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 (offered here) 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 after the release of the original Computer Space, 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 ignited the video game revolution with PONG (1972), Home PONG (1975), and the Atari 2600 console (1977).

Although Computer Space didn’t bring video games to the masses, it established the blueprint for nearly all coin-operated arcade video games to follow: a cabinet, marquee, control panel, television monitor, audio speaker, circuit boards, power supply, and coin acceptor. It also inspired early professional game developers like Jerry Lawson, the engineer who led the creation of the first cartridge-based video game console in 1976, and Atari game designer Ed Logg, who based his best-selling 1979 space shooter Asteroids on elements borrowed from Computer Space and Space Invaders. Starting Bid $1,000

Fully functional Atari arcade cabinet of Gravitar

4269. Atari: Gravitar Arcade Video Game. Desirable original Gravitar arcade video game manufactured by Atari, Inc., and originally released in August 1982. Housed in its original cabinet, 25.25˝ x 72.25˝ x 31.5˝, with incredible sci-fi graphics to side panels, marquee, and control plate, which features game instructions and buttons for number of players and controls: rotate left and right, fire, thrust, and tractor/shield. The back features the Atari manufacturing label, identifying this machine as Model No. 33100 and Serial NO. UR00247. Gravitar has a 1 or 2-player game option and features a color X-Y video display. This new display, with its three color guns and higher voltage, has the same technology that was used in previous Atari black-and-white X-Y displays. However, the screen now displays dazzling colors and unique visual effects. The player controls a spaceship in three different solar systems, with each solar system consisting of a home base, a death star, a red alien planet, and four regular planets. In fine, fully functioning condition, with trivial scuffs and wear to the cabinet.

Developed in 14 months, Gravitar was the first game that Mike Hally produced and designed for Atari. The game’s concept was based on a combination of Lunar Lander and Asteroids, and was the first game to have a real-time dynamic perspective; when you enter a planet, the screen zooms in to give you a closer look. In pop culture, Gravitar cabinets appear in the 1983 movie WarGames, in the 1983 James Bond movie Never Say Never Again, and in the 1987 Charles Bronson vehicle, Death Wish 4: The Crackdown. A rare Atari arcade cabinet as only 5,427 cabinets of Gravitar were ever produced. Starting Bid $500

4270. Atari: Tempest Arcade Video Game (1981). Original Tempest arcade video game manufactured by Atari Inc., and originally released in October 1981. Housed in its original cabinet, 24˝ x 72˝ x 30˝, with exciting sci-fi designs to the side panels, marquee, and control plate, which features game instructions, player select, buttons for fire and super zapper, and a rotary knob. The monitor showcases the game’s vector graphics with remarkable clarity, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the game’s frenetic, fast-paced action. The interior of the machine is clean and wellmaintained, with all wiring and components securely in place. The back panel displays the original Atari manufacturing label, which lists model (289XX) and serial (23680) numbers. In fine, fully functioning condition.

A beloved classic in the world of arcade games, Tempest is celebrated for its groundbreaking vector graphics and engaging gameplay, with original machines highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of retro arcade games. Tempest was one of the first video games with a progressive level design where the levels themselves varied rather than giving the player the same layout with increasing difficulty. The game is featured in the music video for the Rush song, ‘Subdivisions,’ and features prominently in the cult novel, Ready Player One, and the cult film, Night of the Comet. Starting Bid $500

Rare 1969 horoscope fortune-telling arcade game from Nutting, quite possibly the last surviving example of Astro Computer

4271. Astro Computer Arcade Game (Nutting, 1969). Extremely rare original Astro Computer arcade game manufactured by Nutting Associates and released in 1969. Housed in its original cabinet, 23˝ x 57˝ x 29.5˝, with the main glass display bearing a vintage astrology design surrounded by horoscope symbols, and the control plate featuring game instructions and dials for the player to choose their zodiac sign and birthdate. The player then hits the “Predict” button and their horoscope is revealed on the center monitor. The back panel bears the Nutting label, listing Model No. 706 and Serial No. 1546, and the right-side panel contains the coin door and drop. In fine, untested condition, with slight wear and scuffs to the cabinet. The internal projection unit is fully intact and complete, but will need adjustment to work 100%. A plaque is posted on the inside stating the warranty. An early electro-mechanical game from Nutting that is virtually unobtainable—a super rare fortune-telling machine that may be the last of its kind. Starting Bid $500

Legendary, influential, iconic—beautiful restored Space Invaders arcade game in fully functioning condition

4272. Space Invaders Video Arcade Game (Bally Midway, 1978). Original restored Space Invaders arcade video game manufactured by Bally Midway and released in 1978. Housed in its original cabinet, 26.5˝ x 68.25˝ x 34˝, with classic space-themed designs to side and front panels, marquee, minotaur, and control plate, which contains game instructions and buttons for player select, fire, and laser base control. This arcade contains a multigame Space Invaders chip that includes the following gameplay options:

Space Invaders

Space Invaders Deluxe

Lunar Rescue

Balloon Bomber

Jatre Specter

Space Laser

Galaxy Wars

Super Earth Invasion

In fine, fully functioning condition, with wear to the control plate, and some scuffs to the cabinet; this unit has been lovingly restored, ensuring that every detail, from the iconic alien artwork to the original sound effects, remains true to the original experience.

A cornerstone of arcade history, Space Invaders is widely credited with revolutionizing the gaming industry, with its release leading to a wave of shoot-’em-up games such as Galaxian and the vector graphicsbased Asteroids in 1979. It was the first fixed shooter and the first video game with endless gameplay (no final level or endscreen), and its pixelated enemy alien has become a pop culture icon, often representing video games as a whole. Space Invaders was considered the highest-grossing entertainment product of its time, with comparisons made to the then-highest-grossing film Star Wars which had grossed $486 million. A gorgeous example of one of gaming’s most influential and celebrated titles. Starting Bid $500

The robust Video Action II gaming console, an early home system with built-in Pong-style games

4273. Video Action II ‘Home Version’ Gaming Console with Original Box (Universal Research Laboratories). Exceedingly rare original ‘home version’ of the Video Action (Model VA-II) gaming console released by Universal Research Laboratories in 19741975. The heavy console, 24˝ x 4˝ x 14˝, features a large game control base with four paddle controls and a central paddle display button. The front panel of the lower base features a knob for “Game Volume,” an on/off “Game Switch,” a ‘Game On’ indicator light, and a speaker vent, and the back panel contains a “Slo-Blow Fuse,” power cord, control cable receptacle, and a TV receptacle. Includes its original cardboard “Video Action” box by Universal Research Laboratories, which features various wear and stains. The console is in fine, untested condition. Accompanied by a printed copy of the Video Action II user manual.

The Video Action (Model VAII) was an early home gaming console released by Universal Research Laboratories (URL) in the summer of 1974 as part of the early wave of Pong-style games. The console included three built-in games – Hockey, Soccer, and Tennis – and early models of the VA-II were sold with a 12-inch Broadmoor television for $499, targeting bars and waiting rooms; another version, sans the TV, was offered the next year for $299. The VA-II was well-made but overly expensive, relying on the fact that it was the lone alternative to the Magnavox Odyssey. In 1975, at least five other consumer-grade PONG-style consoles were released in North America, including the Television Tennis by Executive Games, the FD3000 by First Dimension, both the Magnavox Odyssey 100 and 200, and the Tele-Games PONG (the Sears-branded version of the Atari PONG). URL released Video Action III and the INDY 500 in 1976, and then filed for bankruptcy the following year. Starting Bid $500

This was the very first release of Ultima, one of the first definitive commercial computer RPGs.

Created by Richard Garriott—the son of NASA astronaut Owen Garriott—under the pseudonym Lord British, primarily coding it in the bedroom of his parents house in Houston, Texas. Garriott, along with his friend and collaborator Ken Arnold, essentially created the technique of ‘tile graphics’ for Ultima. They made the graphics by tracing their hand-drawn pictures on graph paper, changing the graphs to hexadecimal data, and typing them into the computer. The game sold 20,000 copies in its first year, and went on to sell 50,000 copies. It would later be re-coded and ported to other platforms, including Atari, Commodore, and MS-DOS computers. Several sequels were introduced within the Ultima series, and by 1997 over two million Ultima games had been sold. Starting Bid $200

4275. Atari 2600: The Music Machine Video Game. Exceedingly rare The Music Machine video game cartridge released for the Atari 2600 in 1983.

The villainous Mr. Pims will try and stop Steve and Nancy by hurling creatures called ‘Pudgeons’ toward their basket. Catching a Pudgeon or missing a heart will remove one basket, but bonus baskets can be earned every 10,000 points.’ Starting Bid $200

One of three known ‘gold marquees’ made by Atari for the release of the 50,000th Asteroids arcade cabinet

4276. Asteroids 50,000th Arcade Cabinet Gold Marquee - From the Collection of an Atari Engineer. Incredibly rare in-house ‘gold’ marquee for the 50,000th cabinet of the iconic Atari video game Asteroids, 23.75 x 8.25, featuring classic celestial artwork of spaceships, planets, and exploding asteroids with bold block text: “ASTEROIDS.” This Plexiglas marquee, unlike its colorful relative, features a gold-tone film to the reverse. In fine condition, with two small areas of irregularity to the far right side, and scattered scuffs and marks to film, which are visible when set against light. A rare opportunity to own a unique piece of arcade history.

From the collection of former Atari employee Wendi Allen, who states: “I worked for Atari coin-op engineering as both a hardware engineer and a software engineer. I was the principal electrical engineer bringing Atari’s vector graphics hardware to market, and that included being a part of the team that developed Asteroids. When Asteroids was approaching its 50,000th build, Gene Lipkin asked the art department to create a single gold-colored cabinet to commemorate the milestone. As part of that build, a gold marquee was designed with the Asteroids imagery rendered in gold and silver. If my memory is correct, three were produced. One went into the game. I have another, which I displayed in my home office for many years. I have no knowledge of what happened to the third. The ‘Gold Asteroids’ cabinet was used in some promotional materials, and it resided for a long time in the lobby of the Atari engineering building. According to a recent tweet from Digital Eclipse, it is currently in the break room at Nether Realm Studios.” Starting Bid $500

‘Too risqué to distribute’—amazing early poster for the classic Atari arcade game, Centipede

4278. Centipede Original Arcade Poster (Atari 1981)

- Never Released to the Public. Never-released original color 24 x 36 poster for the classic 1981 Atari arcade game Centipede, which depicts a nude female model with centipede-inspired body paint emerging from mist and a trio of large mushrooms. The lower portion features a light blue Atari logo and the game’s classic green logo wraps around the periphery of the poster image. Rolled and in very good to fine condition, with tack holes to corners, scattered small creases, and light edgewear, none of which truly detract from the stunning artwork.

From the collection of former Atari employee Wendi Allen, who worked for Atari coin-op engineering as both a hardware and software engineer, and as the principal electrical engineer who ushered Atari’s vector graphics hardware to market. Allen notes: ‘When Centipede was getting ready to be marketed, the art department created a somewhat surrealistic poster containing a lady painted in green to represent a centipede. A small number of these posters were printed, but management felt it was too risqué to distribute. The art department was told to create a G-rated poster, which they did. The original posters remained within Atari.’ Starting Bid $200

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 re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot,

even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 5

Bidding Options

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

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

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

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

or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

Section 6 Payment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

der’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.

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:

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

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

11.13 Miscellaneous:

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

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

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

Section 12

RR Auction’s Remedies

Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of material breach or default. In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than

the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any Bidder’s property in RR Auction’s possession or to which title has not yet passed to Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Section 13 Warranties

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

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

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

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

Section 14 Firearms

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

Section 15

Unauthorized Statements

Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR

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

Section 16

Bidder’s Remedies

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

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

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 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.

For over 40 years, relationships have been the backbone of RR Auction. We have made it a priority to keep our consignors informed and involved, encouraging them to share their voices, to instill their knowledge, and to forge a partnership based on our shared passion for history. With a mutual desire to achieve greatness, these relationships are at the heart of our success.
