The 18-year-old Steve Jobs seeks employment as an “electronics tech or design engineer” 5002. Steve Jobs Signed Job Application. Incredible job application questionnaire filled out and signed by Steve Jobs, one page, 8.5 x 11, annotated 1973 in another hand. Jobs fills out the document with his name, “Steven jobs”; address, “reed college”; phone, “none”; and major, “english lit.” In the middle section, he writes “yes” in response to ‘Driver’s License?’ and “possible, but not probable,” in reply to ‘Access to transportation?’ With regard to his skills, next to ‘Computer’ and ‘Calculator,’ he writes, “yes (design, tech).” At the bottom, he describes his ‘Special Abilities’ as “electronics tech or design engineer. digital.— from Bay near Hewitt-Packard [sic].” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, overall creasing, light staining, and some old clear tape to the top edge.
Jobs enrolled at Reed College for the fall semester in 1972, but dropped out after just six months to preserve his parents’ meager funds. However, he hung around campus for a year and a half to audit creative courses, including classes on Shakespeare, dance, and calligraphy—these would help to shape his artistic worldview that influenced the innovation of the Macintosh computer. In his 2005 Stanford commencement speech, Jobs recalled: ‘If I had never dropped in on that single calligraphy course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts.’ In 1974, Jobs put his technical skills to work and secured a job as a technician at Atari, heavily relying on the help of Steve Wozniak. In 1976, Jobs and Wozniak set out on their own and founded Apple, introducing the personal computer to the masses. This remarkable employment questionnaire reveals Jobs’s early aspiration to work in the fledgling tech industry, which he would soon revolutionize forever. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $5,000
Steve Jobs and Apple | March 15, 2018 3
Amazing Mac OS X technical manual signed by Jobs in 2001 5003. Steve Jobs Signed Apple Mac OS X Manual. Rare Apple Mac OS X
Administration Basics spiral-bound manual published in 2001, 338 pages 10 x 11, signed on the front cover in black ballpoint, “All the best, Steve Jobs.” The cover bears the recipient’s affixed visitor pass sticker, dated June 6, 2001. The book is sparsely annotated throughout with training course notes. In fine condition, with general expected handling wear from use. Accompanied by full letters of authenticity from PSA/DNA and Beckett Authentication Services. The consignor notes: “I met Steve Jobs, founder & then-CEO of Apple, Inc. in 2001 when I went to Cupertino, CA to get my technical training to become an Apple Technician. That day I had inadvertently parked my rental car beside his (a silver Mercedes Benz S500 with no license plate). It was afternoon, the end of my training day and I just got into my car when I saw Mr. Steve Jobs walking into his car. I rolled down my window and called up his name. He asked me whether he knew me. I told him I certainly knew who he was and immediately asked him if he would be kind enough to sign my Mac OS X Administration technical manual. He refused and said ‘I feel weird doing that.’ I refused to back down. After a bit of cajoling on my part, he finally told me to hand over the manual and pen. He said ‘give me those’ and he autographed my manual.” Steve Jobs was a notoriously difficult signer—evinced by his reluctance to sign this OS X guide in 2001—and his autograph is incredibly scarce among contemporary figures. Mac OS X was released to the public in March 2001, only months before he signed this manual. The innovative operating system was based on the NeXTSTEP system developed by Jobs following his departure from Apple, who then purchased NeXT in 1997 in order to bring Jobs back into the fold. Hotly anticipated by Mac fanatics around the globe, the operating system introduced the slick ‘Aqua’ graphical user interface that remains the basis for Apple’s products today. Despite being met with mixed reviews upon its release, OS X now stands as an undisputed story of success—the foundation upon which Apple’s modern empire has been built. A truly remarkable Jobs-signed piece. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $1,000

Introducing the iPhone 3G—Steve Jobs and ‘father of the iPod’ Tony Faddell
5004 . Steve Jobs Signed Newspaper Article. Newspaper clipping from the June 10, 2008, issue of the Palo Alto Daily Post, 7.5 x 4.75, featuring an image of Jobs speaking at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference for the introduction of the iPhone 3G, with the headline, “New, faster iPhone will sell for $199,” signed in black ballpoint by Jobs, “Steve Jobs,” and by the senior vice president of Apple’s iPod division, “Tony Fadell.” Handsomely matted and framed to an overall size of 11.25 x 8.25. In fine condition. Accompanied by the rest of the newspaper in a sleeve on the back of the frame, as well as a letter of provenance from the son of the original recipient, in full: “I went to a frozen yogurt store called Fraiche Yogurt with my mom when I was about 10, right after the iPhone 3G was announced. I went to the bathroom, and my mom noticed Steve Jobs sitting outside with a friend. She picked up a newspaper off the counter which had a photo of Steve on the cover talking about the release of the next iPhone, and she walked outside, asking Steve to sign the paper. Steve politely declined several times, stating that everything at Apple was a group effort, so he didn’t like to sign and take
credit for everything. My mom is pretty persuasive and was eventually able to convince Steve to sign; but under Steve’s condition that the person sitting with him would have to sign it as well. That friend turned out to be Tony Fadell, known as the Father of the iPod, who was working at Apple during that time and instrumental in the design and development of the first iPod which later morphed into the iPhone. Mr. Fadell eventually left Apple and went on to found Nest, a company sold to Google for $3.2 billion and he is now developing many other companies and technologies. So when I came out of the bathroom, and my mom showed me the newspaper pointing to Steve and Tony outside, since I was literally too starstruck and nervous to go outside and say anything to Mr. Jobs, I asked my mom if I could have the signature, and I have had it on my wall ever since.” In addition to the notorious rarity of Steve Jobs’s autograph, this remarkable example boasts the unique addition of Fadell’s signature—two critical figures in the creation of the iPod and iPhone, revolutionary technological achievements of the 21st century. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $2,500

It was from the estate of Paul Novak, aka Charles Krauser. Paul, who was Mr. Baltimore of 1947, became Mae West’s longtime lover and companion…and he regarded Joe as his best friend. Paul and Joe were recruited by Mae’s friend George Eiferman, a Mr. America and Mr. Universe, to appear in a loincloth-clad bodybuilder chorus line in her famous 1950s nightclub act. Mae’s closest confidante, the late Dolly Dempsey, told me that John Lennon had sent her the autographed picture inscribed to her in return for giving the Beatles the right to use her likeness on the cover of their ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Band.’ I helped Joe in settling Paul’s estate, and he gave me the photo and other items in appreciation.” Unlike other celebrities thrilled to adorn the cover of the Beatles’ forthcoming eighth studio album, West initially balked at the honor, matter-of-factly responding: ‘What would I be doing in a lonely hearts club band?’ The Golden Age actress only relented after all four Beatles wrote her letters imploring her to change her mind. A heartwarming family photograph augmented furthermore by its legendary recipient, one of the 58 faces found on the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band cover. Pre-certified REAL.

Brilliant original artwork for Harrison’s All Things Must Pass 5060. Tom Wilkes Original Concept Artwork for All Things Must Pass. Magnificent original painting by Grammy Award-winning artist Tom Wilkes, accomplished in graphite and watercolor on a 16.25 x 24 sheet of fine art paper, created for a poster to be included in George Harrison’s 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. The artwork gorgeously depicts a surrealistic and fantastical East Indian landscape with various figures, flora, and fauna segmented into three distinct sections, each featuring an unfinished space with light graphite sketching. Wilkes intended to place photographic images of Harrison in each of these areas and added the pencil designs as reference points for the printer; the upper section was to show Harrison playing guitar in his Friar Park Mansion, the middle was to consist of an up-close profile shot, and the bottom was to depict Harrison surrounded by candlelight in a cavern below the home. The artwork is signed in the lower right corner in black paint, “Wilkes,” and is mounted to a 24.75 x 34 cardstock board, the lower portion of which is signed and inscribed in pencil, “A gift for my brother / Tom Wilkes.” In fine condition.
Wilkes was an influential art director and designer who helped illustrate the age of rock and roll with posters for the Monterey Pop Festival and album covers for the Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, George Harrison, and many others. Harrison commissioned Wilkes to design the album package for All Things Must Pass, which resulted in a large hinged box that housed three vinyl discs and a poster. Wilkes spent over 100 hours working on the original poster design, this adventurous and meticulously rendered painting, but later withdrew the artwork when Harrison expressed his concern over his photograph in the sky, floating above everything else, and of the solitary blonde maiden, representing his wife Patti Boyd. The poster that was ultimately included with the packaging featured an image of Harrison standing by windows in his home. An incredibly detailed and museum-quality work of art enhanced by its intimate connection to Harrison’s landmark debut album. Starting Bid $500

One-of-a-kind RCA reference recordings for King Creole 5065. Elvis Presley King Creole Record. Exceedingly
rare pair of raw and unedited RCA Victor 33 rpm reference recordings created for the motion picture King Creole, complete with talking and pre-recording voice labeling in which Elvis can be heard speaking with fellow musicians and singers between songs. The first record bears an RCA Victor ‘Reference Recording’ label annotated in ballpoint, “J-100A, Elvis Presley,” with the second similarly labeled and annotated, “J-100B, Elvis Presley.” These records hold the songs and music used in the making of the movie, and this is the one-of-a-kind ‘producer’s reference’ set given to Elvis after its completion; the only other copy of this album is the master set in the RCA Victor audio archives. Upon receiving the records, Elvis presented them to his close friends Sgt. William A. Norwood and his wife Olly. In overall fine but fragile condition. A compact disc copy of the recording is included. King Creole, released in 1958, was the fourth feature film of Elvis Presley’s career and debuted to both commercial and critical success; Elvis would also later say that his role as Danny Fisher was his favorite of all the characters he portrayed in film. The soundtrack was well-received at home and abroad, with the album reaching number one in the UK and the single ‘Hard Headed Woman’ topping the Billboard charts to become the first rock and roll single to earn an RIAA Gold Record. These unique reference recordings from the production of King Creole are thus not only incredibly rare Elvis materials, but hold a significant place in rock and roll history as a whole.

Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Graceland Authenticated, and a letter of provenance from Dave Hebler, who worked as Presley’s bodyguard from 1972 to 1976. Hebler’s letter reads, in part: “One day Elvis invited me upstairs to his bedroom at Graceland and offered me all of his jumpsuits. He complained that they no longer fit him and that he wanted them out of his closet. I told him I had no use for his jumpsuits nor did I have the ability to store them at my apartment. I then moved a majority of the jumpsuits to the shed at the back of Graceland. I did receive several jackets including this brown leather jacket with 3 buttons on the front of the coat. Elvis had several of these in various colors in his dressing room closet upstairs.” Elvis was famously generous, and when the mood struck him to clean out his closet his closest associates—in this case, his bodyguard—were oftentimes the beneficiaries.

One of Elvis’s custom-made 14K “TCB” necklaces, returned to Schwartz & Ableser for repair 5076. Elvis Presley 14K Gold TCB Necklace.
Handsome custom-made 14K gold necklace with a “TCB” lighting logo pendant, weighing 19.5 grams, and a chain measuring approximately 24˝ long. The beautiful yellow-gold pendant, marked “14K” on the reverse, measures 1.75˝ long and features a delicate diagonal textured design along the lightning bolt. The golden chain has no clasp, as it is intended to be slipped over the head. Complete with its black velvet “Schwartz & Ableser, Beverly Hills” case and receipt from the jeweler, dated June 2, 1977, describing the necklace as “(1) Elvis TCB charm purchased by Elvis in ‘73 and returned to us for repair.” The receipt is signed by Lee Grossman, who acquired the pendant after it had not been picked up for several years. Also includes a full letter of authenticity from Graceland Authenticated. In October 1970, Elvis Presley placed an initial order for twelve custom “TCB” necklaces—signifying his ‘Taking Care of Business’ mantra—from jeweler Sol Schwartz, later of Schwartz & Ableser Fine Diamonds and Jewelry in Beverly Hills. These trademark necklaces soon became a favorite gift for close friends and associates—he placed an order for ten more the next day, and this example was evidently purchased and brought back for repair in 1973. Presley continued to have Schwartz & Ableser make TCB necklaces over the years and fix any that were in need of repair. When this spectacular example was not picked up, it passed into Grossman’s possession. An iconic piece of Elvis memorabilia. Starting Bid $500

During the early 60s, Vernon Presley purchased a home at 1266 Dolan Dr. which is adjacent to Graceland…Elvis had a gate installed so that he could walk from his backyard directly into his father’s house. After Elvis’ divorce in 1973, Elvis spent more time over there to occasionally escape Graceland and its inhabitants…After Elvis’ death, Vernon moved into Graceland and sold the Dolan home and all of its contents to Hobart and Bonnie Burnette who owned the Hickory Log Restaurant across the street from Graceland. The Burnettes delivered food up to the house for the Memphis Mafia and, on occasion, Elvis and/or Vernon. I purchased many personal items of Elvis’ and Vernon’s from the Burnettes in the summer of 1999. Included in the purchase were many items including Elvis’ acetates, pajamas and other clothing, badges, shoes, and even some furniture.

Elvis later gave this to Billy Smith to work out with him in the racquetball building.” Moon’s letter notes that he acquired the sweatsuit from Smith on August 17, 1981, and it was thereafter displayed at his museum. Elvis had a fascination with law enforcement, hence his natural interest in the Drug Enforcement Agency, which was established in 1973. In 1970, President Nixon had named Presley as an honorary agent of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (the DEA’s predecessor), and presented him with a badge per Elvis’s special request.

Jimi Hendrix
Hendrix’s original fingerprint card from his 1969 Toronto drug arrest
5094. Jimi Hendrix Signed 1969 Toronto Arrest Fingerprint Card. Amazing original 8 x 8 fingerprint card from Hendrix’s 1969 arrest in Toronto, signed in the upper left in blue ballpoint, “Jimi Hendrix,” as the “signature of person fingerprinted,” stamp-dated May 3, 1969. The card is filled out in type with his personal information, including his name, “Hendrix, James Marshall”; date of birth, “Nov 27/42”; and distinguishing features, “Scar on right eye.” The lower portion features individual prints of all ten of Hendrix’s fingers, plus a set of prints taken simultaneously. The reverse lists his occupation as “Musician”; address as “27 East 37th St. New York City New York U. S. A.”; and the charge against him, “Illegal Poss. Narcotics.” In fine condition, with an area of surface loss to the lower left of the reverse. Additionally includes two FBI documents, one detailing his criminal record and the other listing his personal information. On May 3, 1969, Hendrix arrived at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, where he was detained by cust oms agents after they discovered a small amount of heroin and hashish in his luggage. He was arrested, booked and fingerprinted, but released on $10,000 bail so he could make
his show at Maple Leaf Gardens later that night. The police escorted Hendrix to the venue, and he displayed a jovial attitude throughout the concert—including an alteration to the lyrics of ‘Red House,’ adding the line, ‘Soon as I get out of jail, I wanna see her.’ At his May 5th arraignment, Hendrix was formally charged with two counts of illegal possession of narcotics—each carrying a possible twenty-year sentence—and the trial was set for December 8, 1969. In order to be found guilty, the law required Hendrix to have knowledge of the drugs in his possession. At the three-day long trial, Hendrix testified that he had no idea how the drugs made it into his luggage, and that they must have been slipped in as gifts by well-meaning fans. He also insisted that he had ‘outgrown’ his drug use. His manager and producer, Chas Chandler, corroborated the notion that fans frequently showered rock stars with gifts, which sometimes included drugs. After eight hours of deliberation, the jury returned a not guilty verdict. In remarks to reporters, Hendrix commented, ‘Canada has given me the best Christmas present I ever had.’ Pre-certified REAL.

Unpublished Britney Spears tour poster by the ‘father of digital art’ 5266. 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-andraised 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.

Rare letter from Winehouse to her husband— “Do nothing ‘til you hear from me handsome” 5270. Amy Winehouse Autograph Letter Signed. ALS signed “Amy, xxxx (lioness),” one page, 7.5 x 9.75, January 12, no year. Letter to her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, in full: “Do nothing ‘til you hear from me handsome, I need your arms around me so I can inhale, open my eyes, breathe my heart’s breathe out. We are bigger than our heart’s breadth, our arms extended, we are bigger than Russia or China or Canada. We are taller than Fable Mountain and it is scary how big our love is, it’s a buoy that’s keeping my chin up son, my head above water. I’ll do nothing til I receive reply baby, I’m begging you darling to write me once…There’s a piano bar here Blakey and I saw Do Nothin’ and I tore it out for us. I’ll never forget the first time I sang at you (Jazz After Dark? The bedroom at Jeffrey’s?) and the second time (After Dark or in our bedroom) Defo. Loved one you are my most precious poisonous possession, my most cherished boy, my darling husband. I love you Blake, your wife & GemHen.” Winehouse draws several hearts around a sketch of a baby alligator or crocodile, which she names “Christopher,” and asks: “(Did you get him his golden rattle for Xmas lover?).” In fine condition.
After years of on-and-off dating, Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil married on May 18, 2007. Simultaneously torrid and destructive, their relationship was punctuated by bouts of substance abuse and public outbursts, episodes that ultimately led to their divorce on August 28, 2009. The presence and influence of Fielder-Civil in Winehouse’s career is again rooted in polarity; her former husband, who admitted in a 2012 interview that he introduced Winehouse to crack cocaine and heroin, was likewise a notable influence on her fashion and the muse behind the singer’s most famous hits on her Grammy Award-winning album Back to Black. The mention of Jazz After Dark also holds significance, given that the longtime SoHo lounge and music venue was a regular hangout for Winehouse, who would often share the stage with the house blues band. Handwritten letters from Winehouse remain extremely rare, with this particular example all the more desirable given its recipient, her unusual sketch, and Winehouse’s lyrical ode to Duke Ellington’s 1944 song ‘Do Nothing till You Hear from Me.’ Pre-certified REAL.

Discontent with the constant departures of her Merchant Marine husband Jim Dougherty, Norma Jeane decided to embark on her first railroad trip in October 1944. After first visiting her half-sister Berniece in Detroit, Norma Jeane moved on to Chicago to see her previous caretaker and beloved mother figure, Grace Goddard. Although the trip was cut short when Dougherty unexpectedly announced that he would be returning soon to California, the solo journey provided a great boost in confidence for Norma Jeane. Not long after returning home, she was discovered by Army photographer David Conover who arrived at Radioplane to snap morale-boosting pictures of female workers for the First Motion Picture Unit. The attention Norma Jeane received spurred the bubbly redhead to quit her job from the factory in early 1945, and, not long after, sign on with the Blue Book Modeling Agency.

The breadth of material found here not only authentically represents the pride felt by Carter’s parents, but also offers a unique glimpse into the busy, no doubt hectic, career of a popular child actress.

Unique 1938 immigration card from Garbo’s estate 5316. Greta Garbo Signed Immigration Card. Garbo’s
one-of-a-kind United States Department of Labor immigrant identification card, signed at the conclusion in pencil, 5 x 3, September 20, 1938. The card is filled out in type with her personal information, listing her surname as “Garbo,” given name as “Greta Lovisa,” country of birth, “Sweden,” date of birth, “Sept. 18, 1905,” nationality, “Swedish,” and color of eyes, “Blue.” The lower portion is filled out in red ink by the immigrant inspector, noting that she arrived at the port of New York aboard the steamship Kungsholm on October 7, 1938, with a status of admission as “N. Q. 4-B Immigrant.” A gorgeous 1.5 x 2 passport-style photo of Garbo is stapled to the right side, with an embossed seal and ‘Consular Service’ stamp along the bottom. The reverse was filled out in type at the American Consulate General in Stockholm, Sweden, on September 20, 1938, noting her immigration visa status as “8 Swedish - Section 4 (b),” and that a previously issued card had been canceled. In fine condition. From the estate of Greta Garbo. The great actress had briefly returned to her home in Sweden after the tremendous box office failure of the 1937 film Conquest, which lost over one million dollars as one of MGM’s biggest flops of the decade. Despite her decreasing popularity, the New York Times reported her return to America aboard the Kungsholm, writing that Garbo ‘said she did not know what plans MetroGoldwyn-Mayer had, but she understood her next film would have a Russian theme.’ This proved correct, as she was cast in the title role of the romantic comedy Ninotchka, produced and directed by Ernst Lubitsch. Although it was her first comedy, Garbo was praised as a ‘gifted comedienne’ and the performance earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. In addition to dating from an important period in her career, the large signature and striking portrait of Garbo make it an absolutely spectacular piece of Hollywood history.

two pages, 8.5 x 11, Star Trek letterhead, April 13, 1976. Letter to aerospace engineer and senior NASA manager Jesco von Puttkamer, in part: “I had one of the upcoming meetings with Paramount brass and encouraged them to close the deal with Shatner and Nimoy as quickly as possible…About your participation in the film production…we would be delighted to have your participation in some sort of ‘official’ capacity…We want to send all story outlines and scripts to you for comments; we’d want you to advise and consult with our art directors and others at regular stages of our planning; we’d want you to be able to comment on all sketches, all plans for space travel opticals, etc.…I doubt that the preproduction phase of the film would be a full-time job for you, except perhaps for the last month before cameras roll. When cameras do roll, it seems likely to me that you would have to be here during the actual filming…Am sure they would be willing to pay more if it turns out you can be identified in screen credits as ‘NASA.’” Roddenberry adds a postscript to the conclusion: “ABC wants me to consider writing and co-producing a number of documentaries on the Atlantis Legend, assuming I can find time during the Star Trek film preproduction schedule. Not a Von Daniken ‘Now It Can Be Told’ approach but something hopefully more scholarly. How are you on Lost Civilizations?” Von Puttkamer writes a brief response in pencil, “Great. That’s why they’re lost! J.” In fine condition, with rusty staple holes to the upper left corner. Von Puttkamer worked as technical advisor to Paramount Pictures for the first film based on the hit television series, 1979’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

I was an extra and appeared in many of the scenes of the movie…Fox Studio Management, in their infinite wisdom, decided to throw away most of the set props. The disposal area was the old land fill for Rosarito. It was now privately owned and being developed for home sites. This created a $50,000 clean up project for the land owner, Mr. Fernando Gamboa. Fernando visited his land after an extended work assignment and found half of the ‘Titanic’ parked on his land. He approached both Fox and Paramount to clean this up but his efforts were ignored. In desperation, he got on San Diego media and offered these items to the public. He allowed many of us to gather souvenirs from this great heap of leavings…This port hole was used in the production of Titanic and was recovered in Rosarito, Mexico, near where the pile of props was abandoned.” Starting Bid $200
The Titanic ticket won by Jack Dawson 5463. T i t a n i c Ticket Prop.

Comic Art and Animation “Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man”
Harry Kleiman, Animation Expert When young Harry Kleiman’s family moved to Los Angeles in 1968, the cartoon fanatic—insatiable in his appetite for all things animated—began spending nearly every day after school visiting animation studios, learning about the process, and meeting the industry’s icons: Walter Lantz, Bob Clampett, Bill Hanna and Joseph Barbera, Chuck Jones, Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston, Frank Thomas, Ward Kimball, Grim Natwick, and Friz Freleng. These meetings sparked what would become his lifelong passion and business pursuit. In 1980, Kleiman finished college and founded Collectors Paradise Galleries, attending dozens of conventions each year to buy, sell, and—his favorite—educate new collectors. In 1982, he was the first person to approach the Don Bluth Studio about selling their original cels from The Secret of Nimh. He also began making deals with Gary Goldman, offering cels from Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace. In 1984, he partnered Collectors Gallery in Studio City, where he was introduced to fellow animation enthusiasts from around the world. Over the years, Kleiman accumulated one of the most impressive animation art collections in existence, portions of which he generously lent out to animation scholars to continue broadening the world’s understanding and appreciation of this beloved art form. As an animation veteran who has spent his life studying, buying, and selling, Kleiman is eager to branch out and educate the next generation. We are proud to be a part of his lifetime of passion.

Unique ‘Cow’ silk screened cereal box by Andy Warhol
5519. Andy Warhol Signed Original ‘Cow’ Screenprint on Kellogg’s Cereal Box. Original one-off ‘Cow’ screen print by Warhol on an unfolded cereal box for Kellogg’s 40% Bran Flakes, 13 x 19.5, signed and inscribed on the reverse in black felt tip, “To Yelitza, Andy Warhol.” Also bears an “Andy Warhol” stamp near the bottom of the reverse. Box is marked with a “Better If Used Before” date of January 23, 1979. In fine condition, with expected wear to the edges. The recipient of this piece was Yelitza Karolyi, who was a New York City model in the 1970s and 80s. She befriended artists such as Warhol and photographers such as Peter Beard, and today is a fine artist herself.
The inspiration for Warhol’s ‘Cow Series’ came from art dealer Ivan Karp, who once ironically suggested to him: ‘Why don’t you paint some cows, they’re so wonderfully pastoral and such a durable image in the history of the arts.’ In 1966, Warhol denounced painting as ‘dead’ and committed himself to printmaking as an art form. His printer, Gerard Malanga, chose this particular image to use. The ‘Cow Series,’ which Warhol published between 1966 and 1976, featured four variations: ‘Pink Cow on Yellow Background,’ ‘Brown Cow on Blue Background,’ ‘Yellow Cow on Blue Background,’ and ‘Pink Cow on Purple Background.’ This unique piece—which could be called ‘Black Cow on Cereal Box’—combines the iconic cow image with Warhol’s interest in mass-produced consumer product packaging, made most famous by his Campbell’s Soup works. Warhol had also previously experimented with Kellogg’s boxes, creating a series of Corn Flakes boxes for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1971. An interesting and unique hand-signed piece by the innovative Pop artist. Pre-certified Beckett Authentication. Starting Bid $1,000

Kennedy’s November 1963 visit, showing side-to-side ‘mugshot style’ images of President Kennedy with the bold red headline, “Wanted for Treason.” The poster lists seven “treasonous activities” made by Kennedy against the United States, in full: “1. Betraying the Constitution (which he swore to uphold): He is turning the sovereignty of the U.S. over to the communist controlled United Nations. He is betraying our friends (Cuba, Katanga, Portugal) and befriending our enemies (Russia, Yugoslavia, Poland). 2. He has been WRONG on innumerable issues affecting the security of the U.S. (United Nations—Berlin Wall—Missile Removal—Cuba—Wheat Deals—Test Ban Treaty, etc.) 3. He has been lax in enforcing Communist Registration laws. 4. He has given support and encouragement to the Communist-inspired racial riots. 5. He has illegally invaded a sovereign State with federal troops. 6. He has consistently appointed Anti-Christians to Federal office: Upholds the Supreme Court in its Anti-Christian rulings. Aliens and known Communists abound in federal offices. 7. He has been caught in fantastic LIES to the American people (including personal ones like his previous marriage and divorce).” Reverse side features identical content in Italian. In fine condition, with a short tear to the bottom edge. This poster, designed to resemble an FBI wanted poster, was authored by Robert A. Surrey, a salesman at Johnson Printing Co. of Dallas, who had been closely associated with General Edwin Walker, a leader of right-wing activity in Texas. Walker resigned his Army post in 1961 after a Kennedy-ordered investigation found that he had violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in political activity on the job; interestingly, Walker was nearly the victim of an assassination attempt made by Lee Harvey Oswald on April 10, 1963, only months before Oswald turned his sights to Kennedy.

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. 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. 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. 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 arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive. Payment: Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than thirty (30) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders), and are subject to all reporting requirements. All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in RR Auction’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. RR Auction reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten (10)
calendar day hold, and ten (10) business days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via e-Check, personal or corporate checks. In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If Bidder attempts to pay via check and the financial institution denies the transfer from Bidder’s bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, Bidder agrees to complete payment. If RR Auction refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys. RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder to secure payment of the Auction invoice. RR Auction is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the Bidder then held by RR Auction or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due RR Auction or affiliates from the Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, RR Auction shall have all the rights of a secured creditor, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the Bidder waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against RR Auction and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice (the “Consignor”). If a Bidder owes RR Auction or its affiliates on any account, RR Auction and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in their possession. All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. 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 superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties. No oral or written statement by anyone employed by RR Auction or acting as agent or representative of RR Auction may amend, modify, waive or supersede the terms herein unless such amendment, waiver or modification is contained in a writing signed by all parties. If any section of these Conditions of Sale or any term or provision of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining sections or terms and provisions of a section shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way. Governing Law and Enforcement The Parties agree that any agreements between the Parties including but not limited to these Conditions of Sale are entered into in Boston, Massachusetts, no matter where Bidder is situated and no matter by what means or where Bidder was informed of the Auction and regardless of whether catalogs, materials, or other communications were received by Bidder in another location. The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, and any other related agreement(s) are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles. The Parties agree that any dispute related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale, or related to or arising out of any other related agreement(s) shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before a single Arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The Parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the AAA. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. The Parties agree that Bidder shall have no right to recover consequential or indirect damages, or lost profits damages. The Parties consent to the enforcement of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in either the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Except as provided in Bidder’s Remedies with regard to the Certification of Authenticity, any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other agreement(s) between the Parties must be brought within one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances giving rise to the alleged claim, without exceptions. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute release of any claims after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding on all parties in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-ac-
tions brought by either RR Auction or Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale.
in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the under Bidder’s bid.
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.
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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration related to or arising out of any Auction of an item sold for less than $10,000. This right shall relate to the individual item price, such that RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration for items that in the aggregate exceed $10,000. The prevailing Party in such a proceeding shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the proceeding, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. This right of enforcement is unique to RR Auction, and these Conditions of Sale are a waiver by the Bidder of any right to enforcement or adjudication outside of an Arbitration.
CONDUCT OF AUCTION Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 732-4280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading). Owned or Guaranteed Property: RR Auction generally offers property consigned by others for sale at public auction; in very limited occasion, lots are offered that are the property of RR Auction. Before the Auction: Bidder may attend pre-sale viewing for all of RR Auction’s auctions at no charge. All property to be auctioned is usually on view for several days prior to the sale. Bidder is encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. Bidder may also request condition reports (see below). RR Auction’s staff are available at viewings and by appointment. Maximum Bids – All Auctions: To maximize Bidder’s chance of winning, RR Auction strongly encourages the use of maximum bids. RR Auction will then bid for Bidder until the lot reaches Bidder’s specified maximum. Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, nonincremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result
Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. RR Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers. Bidding—Timed Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm EST/EDT, that lot is awarded to Bidder. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm EST/EDT will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm EST/EDT or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm EST/EDT, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm EST/EDT, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot (the “30 Minute Rule”). The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the Auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm EST/EDT. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm EST/ EDT. If Bidder is the high Bidder, raising Bidder’s maximum bid
will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the Auction at any time at its sole discretion. Bidding - Internet – Live Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.
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.
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. Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a non-sale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement. Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with “do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the
GLOSSARY OF CONDITION TERMS FOR DECADES, RR AUCTION HAS LED THE INDUSTRY IN PROVIDING AN ACCURATE AND DETAILED CONDITION STATEMENT FOR EACH ITEM THAT WE SELL. STARTING IN 2016 WE’VE DECIDED TO TAKE A FRESH APPROACH TO DESCRIBING EACH ITEM’S CONDITION. As our website and catalog images continually improve, and bidders can see obvious details from those excellent images, we’ve decided to simplify things, using the same terminology to describe an item’s overall condition (on an ascending scale of 1 to 4: good, very good, fine, very fine), but only adding specific details, if any, that would not be obvious from the illustration. VERY FINE describes an item in virtually flawless condition, and is used sparingly for items of exceptionally attractive appearance. FINE is the most common statement of condition, and applies to most items that we offer. It describes items that show expected handling wear, generally acceptable random flaws (such as light creases, small bends, etc.), and an overall appearance that is pleasing to the majority of collectors. VERY GOOD describes an item that exhibits more moderate flaws (such as toning, light staining, professional reinforcements or repairs, etc.). Most collectors would be comfortable with items in very good condition, and this would be the expected condition for many formats (early presidential documents, for example). GOOD describes an item with obvious visible flaws, including heavy wear, missing portions, or repairs that affect appearance; generally items in this condition are offered only if an item is otherwise exceedingly rare or important. Of course we’re more than happy to provide more in-depth information about any item via phone or email. We hope this new system will make for easier reading and a more pleasant bidding experience.
