The John Brennan In-Person Autograph Collection

40 years as ‘The Master of Getting’

J

ohn Brennan didn’t start out with the intention of amassing thousands of autographs. It just sort of happened—one band, one concert, one rock n roll icon at a time, over the past 40 years.

Brennan, 53, grew up in Shelton, Connecticut and bought his first album in 1975: KISS “Alive!”. “I was a huge record collector first,” he said. That began a lifelong and self-proclaimed obsession with rock music for him. A year later at age 11, he “dragged his parents” to see the concert film “The Song Remains the Same,” starting his “straight-up obsession with Led Zeppelin.”

Soon the young teen was sleeping outdoors to snag concert tickets, meeting new people, and getting into all the heavy hitters of rock: Peter Frampton, Ted Nugent, the Scorpions, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Van Halen.

From 1979 on, John began collecting autographs from every concert, waiting at stage doors, tour buses and hotels. By 1984, “it was daily life” for him, usually driving the 75 miles from his hometown to New York City, meeting every music superstar you could imagine. Brennan’s time in the Big Apple had him rubbing elbows with the most enviable celebrity roster; the names that will stand the test of time.

John Brennan, right, with Bob Dylan.

Over more than four decades, Brennan would travel across the US – and the globe – countless times, following the Beatles and the Stones, Van Halen, Guns N’ Roses and Nirvana, collecting photographs, autographs and a truly astonishing lifetime of memories. From a small town in Connecticut, to New York City, Los Angeles and Seattle; London, Paris, Germany, Holland and Canada; John Brennan has been there, experienced that.

The diversity of his collecting years shines through clearly. Scattered throughout this catalog, across decades and genres, you’ll find dozens of exciting items from the John Brennan In-Person Autograph Collection.

Beatles

First pressing of Please Please Me, fully signed at Fairfield Halls in 1963

2001. Beatles Signed Album. Exceptionally desirable 1963

Parlophone mono first pressing of the Please Please Me album, signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. In fine condition, with light soiling and creasing, and a rubbed-off area above McCartney’s signature, perhaps a former inscription. The record is included. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: “I loved Paul McCartney, he was my first crush. I got this album signed—Fairfield Hall at Croydon around 1963/64…the Beatles had just released Please Please Me and they weren’t famous then.” The Beatles performed twice at Croydon’s Fairfield Halls in 1963, the first show coming on April 25, 1963—just a month after the release of Please Please Me, and most likely the date this was signed. They had come to national attention in January with the release of the ‘Please Please Me’ single, and they rushed to record and publish this album to capitalize on its success. A fabulous early example of the first pressing of the Beatles’ very first album—a magnificent piece of music history. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $2,500

Terrific Deauville Hotel Ed Sullivan Show archive, highlighted by a Lennon autograph and rare rehearsal ticket stub 2004. Beatles Deauville Hotel Ed Sullivan Show Rehearsal Archive. Extraordinary archive relating to the Beatles’ appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show at the Deauville Hotel in Miami on February 16, 1964, from the collection of Jane Sollogub, the president of the South Florida Chapter of the official National Beatles Fan Club. One week after making their famous appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, broadcast from New York, the Beatles again joined Sullivan—this time at Miami’s Deauville Hotel—for a special live show. As an intern at Miami radio station WFUN, Sollogub was invited to the Deauville to attend the rehearsal and live broadcast; in the process, she obtained Lennon’s autograph in the hotel’s elevator, received a ticket for the rehearsal, and captured several photographs of the band.

Items in the archive directly related to the Deauville include: A vintage ballpoint signature, “John Lennon,” on an off-white 4.25 x 5.5 sheet of Deauville Hotel memo paper, bearing a small ballpoint date notation of Sunday, February 16, 1964.

Pre-certified REAL. An original 3 x 1.75 ticket stub for the Beatles’ rehearsal for the Ed Sullivan Show at the Deauville Hotel, marked in red, “Rehearsal Only.” Notably, the ticket makes no mention of the Beatles: it simply lists the location, “The Deauville Hotel, Collins Avenue at 67th Street, Miami Beach, Florida,” date and time, “Feb. 16, 2:30 P.M.,” and event, “Lever Bros. and Kent Cigarettes Present The Ed Sullivan Show.” These rehearsal ticket stubs are rarely found in such a complete state; in this instance, the line along the far right edge which separated the stub from the ticket-taker’s portion is still entirely intact.

Three original black-and-white 3.5 x 3.5 candid photos of the Beatles outside the 12th floor elevator at the Deauville: one showing Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr in their suits, along with two security guards and their stylist; one showing McCartney and Harrison posing together; and one showing McCartney signing an autograph.

An original black-and-white 3.5 x 3.5 candid photo of the Beatles performing on stage at the Deauville Hotel for the Ed Sullivan Show.

An original color 3.5 x 3.5 Kodak candid photo of Jane Sollogub in a backstage dressing room with Beatles manager Brian Epstein.

An original unused Deauville Hotel matchbook.

Other Beatles items from Sollogub’s personal collection include: a candid snapshot of her room, displaying several Beatles posters; five small 2.5 x 3.5 Beatles fan club photos; her official Beatles Fan Club card, bearing facsimile signatures of the four band members; a 1964 letter from the Beatles Fan Club Official Headquarters in New York, recognizing the South Florida Chapter as the largest in the state of Florida at the time; an official certificate recognizing the South Florida Chapter’s affiliation with the National Beatles Fan Club; an issue of the South Florida Chapter’s “Beatle Bulletin” (Vol. II, Issue 2), which was produced monthly by Sollogub, plus an announcement of the bulletin’s discontinuation; four original color 3.5 x 3.5 candid photos of the Beatles on stage at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville on September 11, 1964, all taken from very far away; three candid photos of the WFUN staff on their way to, and at, the Gator Bowl show; a small color photo of WFUN ‘Beatle’ DJ Dick Starr; a WFUN season’s greetings card featuring Dick Starr; a candid photo of George Harrison’s sister Louise; and three original period photographs evidently taken of images published in magazines, two showing Ringo at the Deauville pool and one color photo of the Beatles in concert.

Non-Beatles items from her collection include: her personal South Broward High School student identification card for 1966–1967; two candid photos of the lead singer of The Zombies, Colin Blunstone; a candid photo of Gordon Waller; a “Life-Lines of The Animals” flyer, signed on the reverse in red ballpoint by Eric Burdon, Chas Chandler, Alan Price, John Steel, and Hilton Valentine; and a green sheet signed on one side by Colin Blunstone, and on the other by Paul Atkinson, Rod Argent, Mike Pender, Chris Curtis, and John McNally.

In overall fine condition, with light soiling and creasing to Lennon’s signature, and heavy creasing to the ticket stub.

Amazing 1965 Beatles poster signed backstage at Gaumont Cinema 2005.

Beatles Signed Poster.

Exceptionally rare foldout glossy 13.5 x 20.5 poster featuring close-up portraits of each of the four members of the Beatles, signed in blue fountain pen, “John Lennon,” “Paul McCartney,” “George Harrison,” and “Ringo Starr.” This poster was originally loosely inserted within the program for the Beatles’ final UK concert tour, which took place in 1965; this example was signed on December 8, 1965, at the Gaumont Cinema in Sheffield, England.

In very good condition, with intersecting folds (as issued), moderate overall creasing, and a light stain near the center.

Accompanied by letters of authenticity from Fab 4 Collectibles and from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, in part: “The obtainer of these autographs was the male winner of a radio contest, and his prize was a backstage meeting with The Beatles. Taking full advantage of the situation, he had this poster signed by all on this occasion. Posters signed by The Beatles are extremely rare, and not only is this an excellent example—it’s also one of the finest in existence.”

Also accompanied by a photocopy of a letter of provenance from the original recipient, describing his experience: “I was lucky enough to be at the Beatles concert, I saw them at the Gaumont Cinema…it was the 8th December 1965, a day I’ll never forget. We won a competition on the local radio which meant that not only had we won free tickets to the show but also a chance to meet them in the flesh backstage beforehand…On the night of the show, we were escorted into a room… to see the Beatles just sat there talking and smoking away. It was strange and I just froze, one of the others went forward and they started talking so I moved forwards nervously until Ringo asked me my name. He signed all my stuff then so did John, Paul and George.” An absolutely amazing oversized, fully signed Beatles piece.

The menu was raffled amongst railway office workers on behalf of the railway’s benevolent fund, a charitable organization, which provides financial aid to railway workers and their families in need. The menu has been in the possession of the same family since it was won in the raffle in 1964. The menu was won in the raffle by the owners’ brother in law, Lyn Chadwick, who worked for the railway company’s marketing division in Cardiff, Wales, in the UK.

An attractive Beatles collectible made even rarer by the presence of the original box.

Harrison hand-corrects lyrics for a Ringo tune 2042. George Harrison Hand-Edited Lyric Sheet.

The most substantial addition comes at the very end, where Harrison writes: “Till my head is filled with pain—wrack my brain.” Smaller changes include: on line 3, George has added the word “I’m” so the lyric reads, ‘All dried up I’m all dried up’; on line 4, George has omitted the word “it’s” so the lyric reads, ‘All I have’s this empty cup all dried up’; on line 10, George has omitted the word “I” so the lyric reads, ‘Wrack my brain’; on line 13, George has omitted “Of” so the lyric reads, ‘Coming up with something you’d enjoy’; on line 15, George has omitted the word “But” and overwritten the letter “A,” so the lyric reads, ‘All the same—I play the game’; and in the final line, George has overwritten the letter “W” and added a semicolon, making the lyric read, ‘While I slowly go insane; wrack my br[ain].”

Inherent to the photocopy are a note from Ringo, “A Big Yes from R.S.,” and a Harrison signature. In fine condition, with an old piece of masking tape along the top edge. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. Starting Bid $200

handwritten draft lyrics by Paul McCartney for the song “Through Our Love,” penned by McCartney on the reverse of an 8.25 x 11.75 call sheet for the 1984 film Give My Regards to Broad Street.

Whenever you get some time / Whenever you get some time / I’d like to roll it all / up in a ball / And spend it with you / You’ve got the power of love / And love has the power / to make it come true / CHORUS / We can go / thru / (or here we go) / through our love / We can do things that we thought / were impossible (OR we can see things that we thought were invisible) / Through our love / We can see where / we are going to (OR we can know what we are going to do) / …PAUSE… / through / … our love / REPEAT / ‘Through our love’ (further away) / INTRO CHORDS—scat on dat— / VERSE / Instrumental—answered by voice? / Whenever we get some time / [repeat] Oh some time! / I’d like to roll it all up in a ball / + spend it with you.” McCartney pens in the upper right corner, “Ashford/Charing X,” indicating that the lyrics were likely penned while en route on the South Eastern main line. In fine condition, with two torn binder holes to the right side. Accompanied by albums for Pipes of Peace and the soundtrack to Give My Regards to Broad Street, both of which are unsigned and include their vinyl records.

Also includes a notarized letter of authenticity from Craig Inciardi, a curator at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Released in mid-October 1983, McCartney’s fourth studio album, Pipes of Peace, was delayed due to filming commitments for Give My Regards to Broad Street and to ensure that enough time had elapsed from his previous record, Tug of War. ‘Through Our Love,’ the final track on Pipes of Peace, was one of five songs recorded at McCartney’s Sussex farmhouse studio in September–October 1982, with the majority of the others written and recorded during the 1981 sessions for Tug of War; a pair of duets with pop megastar Michael Jackson, ‘Say Say Say’ and ‘The Man,’ were recorded in Los Angeles and London over a three-year period. Given his filming obligations, McCartney used his down time prudently, working over song lyrics while traveling to shoot the film’s non-musical scenes during the initial weeks of production in the fall of 1982. Handwritten lyrics from McCartney are extremely rare, with this example augmented furthermore by being an original piece of songwriting from the legendary Beatles bass player. Pre-certified REAL.

Elvis Presley Unique 1976 Karate flag from the Presley Center Courts Racquetball Club 2079. Elvis Presley 1976 Karate Flag.

Impressive original 23.25 x 36.5 heraldic flag presented to Elvis Presley at the grand opening of his Presley Center Courts Racquetball Club on April 21, 1976. The custom-made gold fabric flag, created to promote a forthcoming Karate studio at the new racquetball club, features a large central embroidered design depicting two tigers facing an incarnation of Presley’s TCB (Taking Care of Business) Karate emblem, with sewn text reading: “Elvis Presley Enterprises, Mendenhall at Mt. Moriah, Memphis, Tenn, USA, Faith–Spirit–Disciple, Disciple of Discipline, Tiger, Be Gentle as Lambs and as Strong as Tigers, Matters of Love, Matters of Honor!

Karate.” Additionally, the flag features two smaller TCB emblems, a decorative pattern with faux pearls and bronze and golden sequin embellishments, golden fringe trim, and golden and silver tinsel lettering to upper and lower portions: “The Beginning” and “Racquetball & Handball Courts, Elvis Presley, Chairman of the Board, April 21st, 1976.” In fine condition, with some scattered stains.

In April 1976, Elvis entered into his sole business venture and investment—the Presley Center Courts Racquetball Club of Memphis, Tennessee. Without Presley or Col. Tom Parker overseeing its finances and development, the project quickly began to mount massive debts, and the courts were closed later that same summer, with the flag’s proposed Karate club never coming to fruition. Presley’s lifelong study of Karate began almost two decades earlier when he was drafted into the Army and stationed in Germany. From 1970-1974, Presley trained under Master Kang Rhee in Memphis, Tennessee, eventually receiving his 8th Degree San Black Belt certificate at a private ceremony on September 16, 1974. Like all of Master Rhee’s students, Presley was required to select an animal title by which to be addressed during training; he first chose Mr. Panther, which, due to the political climate, was later changed to Mr. Tiger. A unique piece of Presley memorabilia relating to one of his greatest passions—artifacts from Presley’s lost racquetball club remain exceedingly rare. Starting Bid $200

Exceedingly rare withdrawn original pressing of The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, featuring the controversial ‘Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues’

2098. Bob Dylan Alternate Freewheelin’ Album (Original Pressing). Extremely rare original Columbia mono pressing

of Dylan’s second studio album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan (CL 1986), featuring the alternate original tracks ‘Rocks and Gravel,’ ‘Let Me Die In My Footsteps,’ ‘Gamblin’ Willie’s Dead Man’s Hand,’ and ‘Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues.’ The matrix numbers on both sides end in “-1A” (XLP-58717-1A and XLP-58718-1A), signifying that it is the original pressing; the regular copies, which include the songs ‘Girl From The North Country,’ ‘Masters of War,’ ‘Bob Dylan’s Dream,’ and ‘Talkin’ World War III Blues,’ have matrix numbers ending in -2 or higher. Complete with the original album jacket and inner sleeve; both the jacket and labels list the correct, revised track listing. In fine condition, with a few light scratches to the red label.

Just before the release of The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan in May 1963, the decision was made to replace four of its tracks. The reasoning behind the change is not entirely known. Some speculate that because CBS television’s censors refused to allow him to perform ‘Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues’ on the Ed Sullivan Show—in a controversial episode that afforded Dylan increased publicity—the CBS-owned Columbia Records then demanded that the song be pulled from the album. Others note that the four ‘replacement’ tracks were recorded after the album was completed, and may have simply been too good to be left off—they include the Dylan classics ‘Masters of War’ and ‘Girl From The North Country.’ In any case, replacement masters featuring the new songs were made, the cover art was changed, and the disc’s labels revised. However, a small number of copies were accidentally pressed using the original stampers—these, with matrix numbers ending in “-1A,” play the controversial ‘Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues’ along with the three other withdrawn tracks. According to Jeff Gold of Recordmecca, fewer than 20 of these original mono pressings of Freewheelin’ have surfaced since the album’s release. Starting Bid $1,000

“Usually I write songs and put it all there so I don’t write too many letters”— Dylan to an old Greenwich Village friend 2099. Bob Dylan Autograph Letter Signed.

Rare ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, postmarked July 26, 1975. Letter to musician Debbie Green Andersen, in full: “I don’t think I meet you before the other night but somehow I feel like I know you and don’t know why huh. Anyway my ears hear you say the magic name and I respond like the fireworks in my head goes off. Sure it’s only natural. We come down a long road together and now I don’t like to see it going to the dogs or the bullshit pattern in which those vehicles can usually go. That’s my trip tho and I am not about to hear about it from out of the ‘BLUE’—Of course this man is dear to me and nothing can cause this relationship to go asunder?

Us under—I just go off like a time bomb when anybody talks to me or gives me messages about that side of things. There’s so much there. I’m sure you understand. You understand. Anyway, it was nice seeing you for a few brief moments. There seems to be a few of us left. This letter is not I hope incoherent so that you don’t sense I’m trying to communicate something. Usually I write songs and put it all there so I don’t write too many letters. Are you still in New York? I am. If you are, I am making a record starting Monday. You can sing on it if you want. Columbia Studios. 50th and Madison. Studio E. If not maybe next time. Eric is doing fine. I heard that song True to You and he’s doing fine. I send you all my love and kisses.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, with Dylan adding Green’s address on the front and his own on the reverse, and a letter of authenticity from Dylan handwriting expert Jeff Gold, the owner of Recordmecca who appraised The Bob Dylan Archive for Dylan’s management.

The recipient, Debbie Green (1940–2017), was a talented folk musician who taught Joan Baez the guitar and later toured and recorded with her husband, singer-songwriter Eric Andersen, as part of the Greenwich Village folk scene during the 1960s. The couple moved to California in 1970, had a child, and then separated. In early 1975, after a dinner with Eric Kaz in the Village, Green made an impromptu vocal performance at The Bitter End in what turned out to be a surprise audition for Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue concert tour. When Green returned to her Mill Valley home for the summer, she found this letter from Dylan, who, impressed by her performance, inquired if she wanted to sing on his forthcoming Columbia Records album Desire.

In spite of the flattering offer, Green had to refuse: ‘I couldn’t have gone on tour for that long anyway. Sari was in school and I was a mom.’ The recording of Desire pushed ahead, as did Dylan’s historic Rolling Thunder Revue tour, which played a total of 57 shows from October 30, 1975 to May 25, 1976, and was highlighted by a benefit concert for imprisoned boxer Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter on December 8th in Madison Square Garden.

In May 1966, Hendrix, then a relatively unknown guitarist for Curtis Knight and the Squires, was noticed by Linda Keith, girlfriend of Keith Richards, while playing in a New York City club. Keith connected him with budding manager Chas Chandler and Hendrix was soon flying to London to sign a contract. On Chandler’s urging, Hendrix changed the spelling of his first name, and in the fall of 1966 the Jimi Hendrix Experience came to be. The song ‘I Ain’t Taking Care of No Business’ was released by Capitol Records on the album Get That Feeling in December 1967, where it was titled as ‘No Business.’ A tremendous offering that represents one of Hendrix’s earliest known publishing contracts.

Rare materials from the infamous 1967 Hendrix/Monkees tour

2107. Jimi Hendrix Experience 1967 Forest Hills Ticket Stub, Matchbook, and Program. Rare group of

three items from the 1967 Monkees tour, which featured Jimi Hendrix as a supporting act. Includes: a rare 1.5 x 2 laminated ticket stub from the July 14, 1967, show at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Queens, New York, marked on the reverse in an unknown hand with the names of the Monkees band members; an ultra-rare matchbook advertising The Monkees’ “First and Only N.Y. Appearance” at the Forest Hills Music Festival, July 14–16, 1967, with a full schedule of top-billed performers listed inside; and a 1967 Monkees US tour program.

In overall very good condition, with aforementioned lamination and notations to ticket stub, wear to the used matchbook, and light creasing to the program.

In one of the most unusual pairings in rock music history, the Monkees asked Jimi Hendrix to be the opening act for their tour of the US during the summer of 1967, as they hoped to appeal to a more sophisticated musical palette. The audience they drew, however, understandably failed to appreciate Hendrix’s music. After joining the Monkees in Florida on July 8, Hendrix lasted only seven shows before abandoning the tour. It’s said that Hendrix grew tired of the ‘We want the Monkees’ chant that greeted him every time he took the stage, and at the Forest Hills show on the 16th he flipped the bird at the less-thanenthusiastic crowd and stormed offstage, never to return. A story was concocted around that time, saying the Daughters of the American Revolution had complained that Hendrix’s act was ‘too erotic’ for their children to see—a legend now firmly planted in Hendrix lore.

Originally displayed amongst the hundreds of other signed photos at New York City’s well-known Manny’s Music Store—open from 1933 to 2009, the store’s clientele spanned musical generations from Buddy Holly to Guns N’ Roses.

Impressive handwritten poem by Morrison, unsigned, one page both sides, 7.25 x 11.5, no date, removed from a composition notebook found in the famous ‘127 Fascination’ box left to his girlfriend Pam Courson. Magnificent handwritten poem, the first side labeled page number “35,” reading, in full (spelling and grammar retained): “Onyx breath / dysentary / you should have seen / Denver St. Louis / & Chicago / I Know / swollen red-faced / babie’s skull / We like to climb.” The reverse, page number “36,” in full: “Hey what I got was / that he was too fast / O No! / an old cunt just / imposed double head / I can go either way / a nickle for a sermon / this place / but this place / it was all/ a double sermon / My Cane.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from REAL.

The ‘127 Fascination’ box contained hundreds of pages of drafts and manuscripts of Morrison’s unpublished writing, this page of poetry among them. The Doors frontman’s true passion was poetry, famously regarding himself as a writer and poet as much as a singer; one motivation for his departure from the band was to focus on his writing. This is a wonderful representation of Morrison’s poetry, embodying the cryptic irreverence seen throughout his work. Any handwritten material from Morrison is quite scarce, with this being an ideal example as an unpublished poetic piece. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $500

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from original recipient, and the rare original Cal Poly handbill, which lists The Doors, The Lyrics, and The Thundermugs as the musical artists.

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

The rare original first pressing vinyl record is included, listing “Lemon Song” and “Livin’ Lovin’ Wreck” on the label. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from REAL. Plant’s addition of “Frodo Lives,” a popular counterculture slogan in the 1960s and 1970s, is in keeping with the lyrics to the album’s seventh track, ‘Ramble On,’ a song influenced by J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy masterpiece The Lord of the Rings. In the opening verse, Plant sings: ’Twas in the darkest depths of Mordor / I met a girl so fair / But Gollum and the evil one crept up / And slipped away with her.’ Two other Tolkien-inspired songs, ‘Misty Mountain Hop’ and ‘The Battle of Evermore,’ can be found on Led Zeppelin’s fourth studio album. As there are said to be fewer than thirty known fully signed Led Zeppelin albums extant, this example, augmented all the more by Plant’s fantastical phrasing, exists as a true rock history rarity.

Rare 1978 Polaroid of Jackson, guest star of the Sesame Street Christmas special 2171. Michael Jackson Signed Photograph.

Dated October 24, 1978, in the lower right corner. In fine condition, with light smudging to his last name. By the time this photo was taken, Jackson was well into his career as a successful solo artist, and had assumed responsibility as the lead songwriter for The Jacksons. On October 24, 1978, Jackson filmed a Sesame Street Christmas special, in which he is seen wearing the same attire as he is in this unique photograph. Later that day, Jackson made his big screen debut in The Wiz, an urban reimagining of The Wizard of Oz that costarred Diana Ross, Nipsey Russell, Lena Horne, and Richard Pryor. Although the film was unsuccessful, Jackson’s role as the Scarecrow served as a highlight, and both he and Quincy Jones, the film’s musical supervisor, would team up again shortly thereafter for the production of Jackson’s breakthrough record Off the Wall, which was released less than a year later.

1950s Remarkable 1958 Buddy Holly concert photo, signed backstage for the photographer 2219. Buddy Holly Signed Photograph. Exceptional

vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo of Buddy Holly playing his Fender Stratocaster electric guitar on stage in 1958, prominently signed in blue ballpoint. In fine condition. Accompanied by a notarized letter of provenance from the original photographer, describing the circumstances in which he captured this fantastic photograph and later had it signed. In part: “On April 28, 1958 Buddy Holly was on stage at the Hippodrome in Waterloo, Iowa along with several other rock and roll stars…I was a student at West High School at the time and working part time for our local newspaper, The Waterloo Daily Courier, as a photographer. I photographed all of the acts that night. I still have the pictures of Buddy Holly.

In July of 1958, Buddy Holly and the Cricketts returned to Waterloo to play a dance at the Electric Park Ball Room.

My friend Dick Kline and I were waiting at the stage door to assist Buddy and the band. We carried equipment and helped them set up for the weekly teen dance.

During that time, we met all the band members and Buddy.

They weren’t much older than we were. Before the dance we were back stage talking with Buddy—that’s when he autographed the picture. I took several pictures of him at that time, and asked him if he would take his dark glasses off but he said, ‘I never have pictures made without my glasses.’” Holly would play his final show the following year in Clear Lake, Iowa, less than one hundred miles northwest of Waterloo. His chartered plane crashed soon after takeoff, killing Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper in a tragedy that has become known as ‘The Day the Music Died.’ A unique and extraordinary Holly piece boasting excellent provenance.

Stage-used Sabian gong from Boston’s mid-90s tours

2340. Boston: Curly Smith’s Stage-Used Gong. Impressive 46˝ Sabian stage gong with original mallets, stand, and touring case, used by drummer Curly Smith during Boston’s Walk On and Livin’ for You tours in 1995–1997. Formerly a member of the band Jo Jo Gunne and a well-respected session drummer, Smith became Boston’s drummer in October 1994. In addition to his drumming duties, Smith played blues harp and provided backing vocals for Boston.

Accompanied by an image of the gong on stage with Boston, as well as a signed letter of provenance from Smith, in part: “When I first set out to hand pick the cymbals and gong for the 1995 upcoming ‘Boston’ tour, I knew it was going to be a challenge. When it comes to sound, the band ‘Boston’ is known for being very discerning. Boston has the highest standards in all things, stage, sound and equipment. Choosing the perfect set of cymbals and matching gong would be no exception. All would have to be of the finest quality and frequency that would precisely match the ‘Boston’ records sound perfectly. I began my quest at the local Sabian factory located just outside of Boston. There, I painstakingly searched; listening to hundreds of ride and crash cymbals, until I found a set I thought would work. After the first rehearsal only one crash made the cut. I then took that cymbal and sent it to the main Sabian factory in Canada, where they went through their personal vaults until they found a perfectly matched set. Those all passed the audition and then came the gong…The sound was spot on. Not too brittle with just the right amount of highs, mids and lows. It was beautiful! It is not only a magnificent sounding gong that would fit perfectly as a center piece for any Rock & Roll enthusiast’s collection, but it also is a piece of Rock & Roll history that will never come again.” Starting Bid $500

Key record retailers in major Bowie tour markets were solicited for orders of his catalog of albums, and given unsigned copies of the lithograph to display.

The Brad Delp Collection RR Auction is pleased to assist the family of Brad Delp in sharing some incredible items from Brad’s time as the unmistakable lead voice of the classic rock band Boston.

Delp joined Boston in 1970 and the band rocketed to stardom on his soaring vocals and timeless lyrics. Their self-titled debut album of 1976 ranks as one of the best-selling debut albums in U.S. history, with more than 17 million copies sold, going platinum within three months.

“I hope these (items) end up in the hands of people who appreciate it, and preserve the legacy of Brad’s kindness and humor,” his wife Micki said. “He was always kind and generous. He really was unaffected by the fame and fortune that fell in his lap.

It shows in all these wonderful things.”

Brad Delp’s gold RIAA award for Boston’s landmark debut 2491. Brad Delp’s Boston Sales Award. Fantastic of-

ficial floater-style RIAA gold sales award presented to “Brad Delp to commemorate the sale of more than 500,000 copies of the Epic Records long-playing record album ‘Boston.’”

Framed with its disc, plate, and a small image of the album cover to an overall size of 17 x 21. In fine condition, with slight peeling to record label. In a period dominated by the disco craze, Boston’s self-titled debut album exceeded all expectations following its release by Epic on August 25, 1976.

On the strength of its first single, ‘More Than a Feeling,’ the album was certified gold in three weeks and by November had officially gone platinum, sales figures that cemented Boston as the best-selling debut album of all time in the United States. As a gold RIAA award presented to Boston’s iconic lead singer, this piece bears both immense aesthetic appeal and historical significance—Boston’s debut album has since sold over 25 million copies worldwide. Micki Delp notes that Brad took this off of his wall and presented it to her parents as a gift. From the Brad Delp Collection, and accompanied by a letter of provenance from Micki Delp.

The second notebook, a black spiral-bound ‘The NoteTaker’ tablet, 6 x 9.5, contains nine handwritten pages (some double-sided sheets), including untitled working lyrics for RTZ’s ‘Turn This Love Around,’ a song entitled “Don’t Let Go,” and several untitled pages (with “Now is the hour of our discontent” appearing as a frequent lyrical line).

CJ Ramone Collection

‘When you’re in the Ramones family, you’re a Ramone for life’

C

hristopher Joseph Ward, better known as “CJ Ramone,” is an American musician who was the bassist for the punk rock group The Ramones, from 1989 when he replaced Dee Dee Ramone, until the band’s 1996 break-up.

But he’s still rocking, and shows no signs of stopping.

“I absolutely feel obliged to keep the legacy going,” he says. “I 100 percent do.”

Imagine being a fan of punk’s seminal pioneers, and then finding yourself part of the band. “I was a huge fan since I was a kid,” says Ramone, the eventual youngest member of The Ramones by nine years. “[Then] I played in the band for seven years.” Johnny Ramone claimed he knew immediately when CJ auditioned to replace Dee Dee that he was the right fit, commenting that CJ “had the right look.” When The Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, original drummer Tommy Ramone credited CJ with “keeping the band young.”

CJ sang lead on “Strength To Endure” and wrote two tracks for the band’s farewell album, “¡Adios Amigos!”

He played at their epic final show, delivering those iconic “1-2-3-4!” shouts and rubbing shoulders onstage with Eddie Vedder, Tim Armstrong and Lemmy.

RR Auction is honored that CJ has chosen to share some of his personal mementos of his time in The Ramones. It wasn’t easy for him to part with this huge part of his life, but he wants fans to have the opportunity to own a piece of music history, too. He started out as a fan, and knows where that can lead.

Not long after Dee Dee Ramone left the band in February 1989, the 23-year-old Christopher Ward, freshly discharged from the United States Marine Corps, made the surprise cut as the new bass-player for the Ramones. The departure of Dee Dee, the group’s principal lyricist and songwriter, placed CJ Ramone in a crash course of punk material that concluded with the new recruit learning 40 songs in five weeks. Although Dee Dee’s main focus centered on his own sobriety and music career, he continued to write songs for the Ramones until their disbanding in 1996. According to Mondo Bizarro’s liner notes, the Ramones once bailed Dee Dee out of jail in exchange for the rights to the lyrics offered here—‘Main Man,’ ‘Strength to Endure,’ and ‘Poison Heart,’ songs he had already performed live with his band the Spikey Tops.

After four consecutive concert nights in Germany, the Ramones earned a day off when they traveled to Berlin to play at the Eissporthalle on November 26th. The breach of the Berlin Wall only weeks prior continued to dominate current world news, and both Johnny and CJ—the latter on his first European tour as a member of the Ramones—were eager to take home a piece of history. The duo struck up a conversation with a friendly East German soldier who proceeded to sell CJ his belt buckle and garrison cap. They took his photograph and were then handed a sledgehammer, with CJ chipping off the piece now offered here.

Even tho the owner of the Atlantik is a friend we didn’t get the royal homecoming treatment.

The award measures approximately 4.5 x 14.5 x 4.5 and weighs 3.5 pounds. In fine condition, with light general wear and some scuffing to the plaque.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from collector Gary Greenberg, in part: “The Guns N’ Roses AMA award pictured here was sold to me back in 2012 by Slash’s personal bodyguard Ron Stalnaker. Ron was given the award by Slash who was known to gift awards and such to close friends and business associates…

It is one of five made. One for each of the GNR band members.”

Also includes copies of email correspondence related to the award, including Stalnaker’s description of Slash’s propensity for generosity: “One thing about awards and Slash. If he was given one and you were standing next to him, it was yours. I got a few awards that way…Most of the time, I got his awards when the office would call and say ‘Get these damn awards out of here.’”

Four years after their classic Appetite for Destruction debut, Guns N’ Roses released their dual albums Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II on September 17, 1991, to immediate acclaim—these albums included singles such as ‘November Rain,’ ‘Don’t Cry,’ and ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.’ These fan-favorite mega-hits earned Guns N’ Roses top honors in the ‘Favorite Artist, Heavy Metal/Hard Rock’ category at the American Music Awards, over fellow nominees Van Halen and Metallica. Unlike the Grammys, which are voted on solely by record industry insiders, the AMAs are chosen based on polls of music buyers and the public. The award ceremony was held on January 27, 1992, and MC Hammer introduced the new rock band FireHouse, who read the nominees and announced the winner as Guns N’ Roses; Slash accepted on the band’s behalf via video recording. A superb, iconic award from the personal collection of the legendary heavy metal guitarist. Starting Bid $5,000

Prince forwards his edits for the Graffiti Bridge script 2705. Prince Hand-Edited Graffiti Bridge Script.

Original hand-edited partial draft script for the 1990 film Graffiti Bridge, 15 pages, 8.5 x 11, no date but circa early October 1987. This group of draft script edits, dog-eared

by Prince and forwarded to his assistant, consists of pages 6, 8, 12-17, 23, 25, 29, 31-33, as well as the opening scene with “Welcome Home, Ruthie Washington” text, and contains approximately 30 words in Prince’s own hand, in addition to various directional arrows, punctuation changes, and X-mark strikethroughs.

Prince’s meticulous attention to detail is on full display; he changes several words, points out grammar and spelling mistakes, and indicates that various words of the script be capitalized. In fine condition, with the first page taped back together after being torn in two.

From the collection of Prince’s former assistant and accompanied by a letter of provenance.

In mid-September of 1987, Prince finished his first script for a musical film project entitled Graffiti Bridge, which featured himself in the lead role as Camille, and costarred Madonna as his former flame, Ruthie Washington. In keeping with his vision of “a musical fantasy shot on theatrical sets,” Prince planned to cast several of his own band members in the film, with these notes mentioning several of their character names—Atlanta Bliss as Joshua, Eric Leeds as Sax, Cat Glover as Vienna, Greg Brooks as Gruff, and Wally Safford as Puff. In mid-October, a brief three-day script conference with Madonna proved disastrous, with the singer-actress publicly ridiculing the script and dismissing any potential collaboration. As a result, the original Graffiti Bridge script was abandoned and the project placed on hiatus until 1989. Graffiti Bridge continued to have script problems and underwent several revisions before a screenplay was finalized on February 7, 1990; the script alterations effectively made the film a quasi-sequel to Purple Rain. Although the film earned negative reviews and poor box-office totals, the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack was regarded highly and reached gold sales figures in both the UK and America. Starting Bid $300

Prince recorded “Go” with Revolution bandmates Wendy Melvoin (Susannah Melvoin’s twin sister) and Lisa Coleman in early August 1985. Despite dedicating much time and effort to the recording, the track remains in the vault and unreleased to this day.

Prince’s playful attribution of the lyrics to “Percy Bagonia” is especially noteworthy, as he took on various stage names and alter egos throughout his career—others included Jamie Starr, Joey Coco, Alexander Nevermind, and Camille.

Purple piano played by Prince

2735. Prince’s Personally-Owned and -Played Piano.

An upright piano which was kept at the home of an early Prince insider and was personally played by Prince frequently throughout his career. The piano was originally picked up by the touring crew of Earth, Wind & Fire around 1978, and was delivered to the consignor’s home in Los Angeles (where Prince was living at the time) as a gift specifically for Prince.

This was his favorite piano to play because he loved the distinctive ring-like sound it made when he played it.

It was in Los Angeles that Prince most frequently played this piano—he spent many, many hours at these keys. He would wake up in the middle of the night, saying that God dropped songs on him that needed to be played then and there, no matter what. Even with a multitude of pianos at his disposal, this one was Prince’s favorite to play. The piano was painted pink when the consignor moved to Miami in the early 1990s, around the same time that Prince opened the ‘Glam Slam’ club. The piano was subsequently painted purple to match new decor.

Though best known as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Prince was also an accomplished pianist—it was the first instrument he learned to play, taking after his father who was a piano player in a jazz band. Things would come full circle in Prince’s final concert series, the ‘Piano & A Microphone Tour’ of 2016, in which he reinterpreted his band-backed electric hits in an intimate setting as a solo pianist. The Toronto Star opened their review of his March 25th show: ‘It probably comes as little surprise that Prince, the legendary singer and songwriter who is as prolific as he is enigmatic, is as big a monster on piano, technically speaking, as he is on guitar.’ As a purple piano played by the man himself, this is an outstanding piece of Prince history. From the collection of an early Prince insider.

Prince’s purple ruffled shirt from the classic Purple Rain era 2748. Prince’s Purple Rain Era Shirt. Prince’s personallyowned and -worn purple ruffled long-sleeve custom-made shirt from the Purple Rain era, lavishly crafted from satin and chiffon, featuring pearlescent buttons on the neck, body, and cuffs. The sheer royal purple shirt has no labels, although one was evidently removed from the neck collar area. In fine condition, with a few small stains. This particular shirt was originally purchased from Lelands by Planet Hollywood prior to 2000, and includes an original shipping label, as well as a photo of it displayed in their restaurant. The Planet Hollywood display featured a plaque reading: “Prince emerged as one of the most singular talents of the ‘80s era, capable of tying together pop, funk, folk and rock. Prince wore this sheer purple shirt on stage.” The shirt was subsequently sold by Backstage Auctions, and is accompanied by their certificate of authenticity. It also includes a small “Prince” plaque that was used in a later display.

The consignor of this piece consulted with one of one of Prince’s former costume designers of three years, who confirmed it as being from the Purple Rain era. The designer noted that after Purple Rain, none of Prince’s custom clothing was made with labels in the neck collar area, as he hated them for two reasons: he found them silly because he already knew who he was; and from a practical standpoint, they made him itch. He also disliked the gathered sleeves on this style of shirt, so none were made in this manner following the 1984–85 Purple Rain Tour. As an iconic purple-hued, personally-worn shirt from Prince’s most iconic era, this is a truly spectacular piece worthy of a museum. Starting Bid $1,000

By January 1992, Nevermind had supplanted Michael Jackson’s Dangerous as the top album in the country, and the follow-up singles ‘Come as You Are,’ ‘In Bloom,’ and ‘Lithium’ distinguished the record as one of the greatest surprises in rock and roll history.

Brennan first met Nirvana in January 1992, in the lobby of NBC when they were at the Thursday music rehearsal for a “Saturday Night Live” performance. After that, he flew to Seattle six times to see Nirvana, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. He followed them before they were famous: “I just knew.” He met them a total of 8-12 times. “In just under two years, it was all over.” He followed them all of 1993 and ‘94. Drummer Dave Grohl is seen wearing a “Secret Sounds” t-shirt on the album cover for “Muddy Banks of Wishkah,” which Brennan gave him. “Dave was always difficult to deal with; Kurt was the easy one.” Pre-certified REAL and Beckett Authentication.

Unpublished Britney Spears tour poster by the ‘father of digital art’ 2790. Britney Spears Tour Poster. Rare color 20 x 30 digital print created by renowned digital artist Laurence Gartel for Britney Spears’ 2001–2002 Dream Within a Dream Tour, signed in the lower left in black felt tip by Gartel. Designed for the tour’s marketing and merchandizing department, the poster frames Spears against a vibrant and artistically imagined background of flowers and hearts, with the borders featuring her first name in various stylized and colorful fonts. These posters were never sold as prints, nor were they mass-produced; Gartel affirms that only ten of these posters were ever created. Rolled and in very fine condition.

Considered the ‘father of digital art,’ the New York born-and-raised Gartel has worked in the digital medium for over forty years—preceding even the advent of the personal computer. Gartel taught Andy Warhol to use the Commodore Amiga in order to make a Debbie Harry album cover, and was friends with many of those in the NYC art scene. Gartel’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, Long Beach Museum of Art, Princeton Art Museum, and Norton Museum of Art, and is also included in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of American History, Bibliothque Nationale in Paris, and Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He was the official artist of the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, and created a massive Grammy statue wrapped in psychedelic vinyl that still resides at The Recording Academy. Starting Bid $200

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

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

RR Auction and Auction: This Auction is presented by RR Auction, a d/b/a/ of R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC, as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the Catalog or on the www.

RRauction.com Internet site (“RRauction.com”). The Auction is conducted under these Conditions of Sale. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog.

Bidder: Bidder shall mean the original Bidder on the property offered for sale

by RR Auction and not any subsequent owner or other person who may acquire or have acquired an interest therein. If Bidder is an agent, the agency must be disclosed in writing to RR Auction prior to the time of sale, otherwise the benefits of the warranty shall be limited to the agent and not transferable to the undisclosed principal.

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

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

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

If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid.

By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment.

Credit: In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with RR Auction must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply additional information if requested, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders who are not members of RRAuction.com should pre-register before the close of the Auction to allow adequate time to contact references.

Credit will be granted at the discretion of RR Auction. Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social security number, or the last four digits thereof, so a credit check may be performed prior to RR Auction’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: RRAuction.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the Auction venue.

Buyer’s Premium: The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 22.5% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed Auctions (the “Buyer’s Timed Premium”), and a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on live Auctions (the “Buyer’s Live Premium,” together with the Buyer’s Timed Premium, the “Buyer’s Premium”). For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later. All purchases delivered to Massachusetts are subject to applicable Massachusetts sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number. Pennsylvania sales or use tax may be due in connection with the purchase and delivery of tangible personal property to Pennsylvania individuals and businesses.The purchaser is required to file a use tax return if tax is due in connection with the purchase and delivery in the Commonwealth. This notice is required pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Reform Code of 1971. 72 P.S. § 7213.2.

Bidding: Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s), rather than the strict reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF VALUATION CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES. RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

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

Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Consignor, or assignee of Consignor, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by Bidder. RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder.

It is the Bidder’s responsibility and obligation to have the lots fully insured while in their possession. Bidder assumes any and all RISK

OF LOSS once the lot(s) is in Bidder’s possession.

arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction a purchase money security interest in such sums or items to the extent applicable, and agrees to execute such documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest.

Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

Payment: Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein.

All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than thirty (30) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder.

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

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

In the event of a successful challenge to the title to any goods purchased pursuant to these Conditions of Sale and the exclusive remedies provided herein, RR Auction agrees to reimburse any Bidder in an amount equal to the successful bid price actually paid by Bidder at auction plus any Buyer’s Premium actually paid, in full and complete satisfaction of all claims, which once tendered by RR Auction, relieves and releases RR Auction from any responsibility whatsoever to the Bidder, even if the instrument is not cashed or is returned.

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

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

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

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

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

All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders), and are subject to all reporting requirements.

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

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

If RR Auction refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys.

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

secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in their possession.

All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges: Bidder is liable for shipping and handling. RR Auction is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction.

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

Title: Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.

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

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

RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments.

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

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

Off-Site Bidding: Bidding by telephone, facsimile, online, or absentee bidding (advance written bids submitted by mail) are offered solely as a convenience and permitted subject to advance arrangements, availability, and RR Auction’s approval which shall be exercised at RR Auction’s sole discretion. Neither RR Auction nor its agents or employees shall be held liable for the failure to execute bids or for errors relating

to any transmission or execution thereof. In order to be considered for off-site bidding in any manner, Bidders must comply with all of these Conditions of Sale and the terms contained on the Registration Form.

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

Warranties: RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold “as is” and “where is”.

By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Terminology), authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in the Catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a good faith effort made by RR Auction to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein; they are statements of opinion only. They are not representations or warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what

price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the Auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices.

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

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

Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the Certification of Authenticity, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. The Certification of Authenticity is valid from date of the Auction in which Bidder was awarded the lot (the “Auction Date”) until five (5) years after the Auction Date, without exception.

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

Limitation of Damages: In the event that RR Auction is prevented for any reason from delivering any property to Bidder, or Bidder is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of RR Auction, the liability, if any, of RR Auction, shall be limited to, and shall not exceed, the amount actually paid for the property by Bidder. In no event shall RR Auction be liable for incidental, special, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of profits, value of investment or opportunity cost.

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

Bidder’s Remedies: Under no circumstance will RR Auction incur liability to a Bidder in excess of the purchase price actually paid.

This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder in conformity with the Warranties and Limitation of Damages provisions of these Conditions of Sale, and is expressly in lieu of any other

rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law. The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, in the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction shall make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other amounts paid or due to RR Auction). Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand, RR Auction shall disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and assign to Bidder all of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and assignment, all responsibility and liability, if any, of RR Auction with respect to said lot or property shall automatically terminate. RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction - this remedy is as to the Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances.

If Bidder wishes to challenge the AC within the period of the Certification of Authenticity, Bidder must present written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field. If RR Auction agrees that the lot is not as represented, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be a refund of their purchase price, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable. If RR Auction does not agree with the claim by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale.

Any such challenge concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Bidder’s notice to RR Auction of Bidder’s contention that the lot was not authentic, or six (6) years from the Auction Date, whichever is sooner.

If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), the lot is returnable if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and the AC, then the description in the AC shall control. This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received

by RR Auction.

NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE. RR Auction’s Additional Services: For Bidders who do not remove purchased property from RR Auction’s premises, RR Auction, in its sole discretion and solely as a service and accommodation to Bidders, may arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded at the sole request, expense, and risk of Bidder. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for damage to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice, RR Auction will include an administration charge.

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

Entire Agreement: These Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement between the parties together with the terms and conditions contained in the Registration Form. They may not be amended, modified or super-

seded except in a signed writing executed by all parties. No oral or written statement by anyone employed by RR Auction or acting as agent or representative of RR Auction may amend, modify, waive or supersede the terms herein unless such amendment, waiver or modification is contained in a writing signed by all parties.

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

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

The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, and any other related agreement(s) are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles.

The Parties agree that any dispute related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale, or related to or arising out of any other related agreement(s) shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before a single Arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The Parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the AAA. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. The Parties agree that Bidder shall have no right to recover consequential or indirect damages, or lost profits damages.

The Parties consent to the enforcement of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in either the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.

Except as provided in Bidder’s Remedies with regard to the Certification of Authenticity, any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other agreement(s) between the Parties must be brought within one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances giving rise to the alleged claim, without exceptions. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute release of any claims after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding on all parties in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-actions brought by either RR Auction or Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration related to or arising out of any Auction of an item sold for less than $10,000. This right shall relate to the individual item price, such that RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration for items that in the ag-

gregate exceed $10,000. The prevailing Party in such a proceeding shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the proceeding, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. This right of enforcement is unique to RR Auction, and these Conditions of Sale are a waiver by the Bidder of any right to enforcement or adjudication outside of an Arbitration.

CONDUCT OF AUCTION

Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 7324280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading).

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

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

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

Successful Bids: The fall of RR Auction’s hammer indicates the final bid. RR Auction will 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.

Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. RR Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction.

Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.

Bidding—Timed Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing.

RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

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

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

Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a nonsale 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.

Bidding - Internet – Live Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing.

RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.

GLOSSARY OF CONDITION TERMS

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

Property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction.

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

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

Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future.

In conformity with “do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available.

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

FOR DECADES, RR AUCTION HAS LED THE INDUSTRY IN PROVIDING AN ACCURATE AND DETAILED CONDITION STATEMENT FOR EACH ITEM THAT WE SELL. STARTING IN 2016 WE’VE DECIDED TO TAKE A FRESH APPROACH TO DESCRIBING EACH ITEM’S CONDITION. As our website and catalog images continually improve, and bidders can see obvious details from those excellent images, we’ve decided to simplify things, using the same terminology to describe an item’s overall condition (on an ascending scale of 1 to 4: good, very good, fine, very fine), but only adding specific details, if any, that would not be obvious from the illustration.

VERY FINE describes an item in virtually flawless condition, and is used sparingly for items of exceptionally attractive appearance.

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

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

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

Of course we’re more than happy to provide more in-depth information about any item via phone or email. We hope this new system will make for easier reading and a more pleasant bidding experience.
