“This clock was on the instrument panel of my space craft, Aurora 7, during my earth orbital space flight on 24 May, 1962 which was the United States’ second manned orbital flight. It was given to me by the MA7 Launch Crew”

PROJECT MERCURY

Amazing ‘Satellite Clock’ from the Aurora 7 spacecraft, a fully functioning post-flight gift presented to Pilot Scott Carpenter

7001. Functioning Mercury-Atlas 7 Satellite Clock from the Scott Carpenter Collection. Scott Carpenter’s flown Mercury-Atlas 7 onboard satellite clock from the center instrument panel of his Aurora 7 capsule, a mission-critical timing device utilized by Carpenter during retrograde preparations for the spacecraft’s reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere. Visual evidence of the instrument panel of the Aurora 7 capsule, which is on display at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, points to the post-flight removal and replacement of the spacecraft’s original satellite clock. Such a detail supports the strongly presumed flown status of the offered satellite clock, which is further substantiated by Carpenter’s included flight-certified letter of authenticity and the discovery of handwriting by launch pad team leader Guenter Wendt within the clock’s wooden presentation frame. Following the Aurora 7’s oceanic recovery northeast of Puerto Rico, the capsule was transported back to Cape Canaveral where members of the MA-7 support team had the clock’s hardware removed and specially refashioned as a unique presentation gift for the pilot. The clock face, 4.75˝ x 5.5˝, features five main components: a ‘time of day’ clock with 24-hour and 60 min/ sec dials; a telelight button for “5 Min to Retrograde”; three digidial counters for ‘Retrograde Time,’ ‘Time from Launch,’ and ‘Time to Retrograde’; and a retrograde time reset handle. As mentioned, the clock has been expertly presented as an impressive mantel-style display piece, measuring 17˝ x 9˝ x 9.75˝ and weighing 22 lbs, the front of which bears a goldtone plate with an engraved inscription below: “To M. Scott Carpenter, In Commemoration of His 3 Orbit Flight in Aurora 7 on 24 May 1962, from The Launch Crew.”

The “5 Min to Retrograde” telelight is specifically mentioned by Carpenter in the ‘MA-7 Air-Ground Voice Communications’ transcript found in the official postflight NASA report ‘Results of the Second United States Manned Orbital Space Flight May 24, 1962.’ During his third and final pass of Hawaii, the station’s Capcom requested Carpenter to make two critical retrosequence items: to switch off the emergency droguedeploy and the emergency main fuses. At a time of 04 27

13.5, Carpenter replied: ‘Roger, they are. Okay, I’m going to fly-by-wire to Aux Damp, and now — attitudes do not agree. Five minutes to retrograde, light is on. I have a rate of descent, too, of about 10, 12 feet per second.’

Additionally, the plate features a timeline of MA-7 mission events that encircles the clock, effectively relaying the tale of Carpenter’s now infamous reentry, a purported combination of pilot error and technical malfunction that resulted in the Aurora 7 splashing down some 250 miles off its target. The presence of the retrograde time is perhaps most consequential, as Carpenter activated the retrorockets three seconds later than planned; this delay, compounded by a malfunctioning pitch horizon scanner, forced Carpenter to control his reentry manually. As a consequence, the Aurora 7 missed its landing area broadly and Carpenter, no worse for wear, was left to float alone in his life raft for nearly an hour before recovery vehicles arrived on the scene.

The front plate also contains four additional buttons and switches, and a two-prong power cord extends out from the clock’s paneled base, which, once unscrewed, opens to reveal the mantel clock’s impressive inner workings; of further interest is the underside of the removed panel, which is annotated in black felt tip by noted McDonnell engineer and launch pad supervisor Guenter Wendt, “Design: G. F. Wendt, July 1962” and “Keep your #6I/#@ hands off!! Ye old PAD FUHRER.” The panel is also annotated to the right by the craftsman, “Woodwork: C. R. Coyle, ‘62.” Below is an affixed “Power Supply Schematic,” dated August 22, 1962, ostensibly for the clock presentation, as well as additional ink notations: “Item: T-133, Part: 45-81710-9, Serial #: 7, 1-18-76, J.M.F.” In fine, functional condition, with some patina and scuffing to the front plate. Accompanied by a signed and flight-certified letter of authenticity from Carpenter, who states: “This clock was on the instrument panel of my space craft, Aurora 7, during my earth orbital space flight on 24 May, 1962 which was the United States’ second manned orbital flight. It was given to me by the MA7 Launch Crew.” Starting Bid $5000

Neil Armstrong flight-spare Beta cloth name tag— cleaned and prepared for flight at NASA-MSC

7098. Neil Armstrong Flight-Spare Name Tag with NASA Pouch. Incredible Neil Armstrong flight-spare Beta cloth name tag featuring the name of the Apollo 11 Commander and first man to walk on the moon in navy blue lettering, “N. Armstrong,” measuring 7.5˝ x 2.5˝. Complete with its original blue plastic NASA-MSC ‘cleaned for service’ pouch used to store the name tag, labeled with the date of January 28, 1970. In fine condition.

The cleaning/inspection label indicates that the name tag was cleaned and prepared with the intention of being used on a flight. Armstrong did not fly again after Apollo 11 in July 1969, so ultimately the tag ended up as a spare; but had he flown again, it is possible that this tag would have been used on his space suit.

LM Intrepid tie-down strap exposed to moon dust, the vacuum of space during the Apollo 12 mission

7115. Apollo 12 Lunar Surface Flown Tie-Down Strap – From the Personal Collection of Charles

Conrad. Charles Conrad’s flown tie-down strap that was carried to the moon’s surface and exposed to the vacuum of space while in use inside the Lunar Module Intrepid during the historic Apollo 12 mission. The beta cloth strap, 10.5˝ in length, with parts tag, “P/N SEB 33100015-302, S/N 1140,” features snap fasteners to the middle section and ends, the right side bearing a single swatch of Velcro; of extreme interest is the strap’s once-crisp white parts tag that now features evidence of embedded lunar dust, its grayed complexion the result of the moon’s fine dust floating into the Intrepid during EVA transfer. The strap is mounted to a certificate of authenticity signed in black felt tip, “Charles Conrad, Jr., Cdr. Apollo XII,” who states, in part: “I hereby certify that the attached ‘Tie-Down Strap’…was used inside the Apollo 12 Lunar Module “Intrepid” on The Ocean of Storms, Moon…This strap, then, spent nearly two days securing items inside the Lunar Module in the one-sixth gravity environment of the Moon.” Archivally framed together to an overall size of 17.75˝ x 23.25˝. In fine condition. Accompanied by an image of Conrad taken at the time of signing.

Apollo XII was the first lunar landing to perform two extensive surface explorations where Conrad and Bean accumulated a large amount of lunar dust on their space suits and flight equipment. During their 31-hour surface stay, this strap was exposed to lunar dust carried into the LM by the crew.

Flown Apollo 12 CM translational hand controller from CDR Conrad’s personal collection

7116.

lection of Charles Conrad. Flown Apollo 12 Command Module translational hand controller T-grip used by Commander Charles Conrad in guiding the ‘Yankee Clipper’ during the second lunar landing mission, measuring approximately 3.25˝ x 2˝ x 1˝, mounted on a wooden plaque, reading: “Apollo 12, Nov. 14–22, 1969, Translational Hand Controller.” Includes a handwritten letter of provenance on one of Conrad’s personal notecards, signed “Charles Conrad, Jr., Cdr. Apollo XII,” in full: “This was the Translational Hand Controller aboard Yankee Clipper (CSM 108) during the flight to the Moon, 14–24 November, 1969.” In fine condition.

This came from the commander’s side of the Apollo 12 Command Module, where it could be used to pilot the spacecraft: pulling/pushing the controller forward and back moved the spacecraft up and down, pushing it left and right moved the spacecraft left and right, and turning it left or right moved the spacecraft forward or backward. The controller also had an important function during launch: punching it forward and twisting it would initiate a manual abort sequence, separating the Command Module from the Saturn launch vehicle. This

is especially relevant to Conrad’s mission, Apollo 12, as the spacecraft was hit by lightning 37 seconds after launch, causing numerous alarms and warning lights to go off: ‘I got three fuel cell lights, an AC bus light, a fuel cell disconnect, AC bus overload 1 and 2, Main Bus A and B out,’ Conrad urgently radioed to Mission Control.

Conrad must have been gripping this controller tightly as they contemplated aborting the mission—this sequence of warnings had never come up in their training, but as long as the rocket seemed to be in good shape, he held back. Luckily, quick-thinking EECOM John Aaron has seen similar problems in a prior simulation, and issued an obscure command: ‘Try SCE to AUX.’ Both the flight director and the CAPCOM Gerald P. Carr asked him to repeat the recommendation. Aaron repeated himself and Carr responded ‘What the hell’s that?’ Yet he relayed the order to the crew: ‘Apollo 12, Houston. Try SCE to auxiliary.’ LMP Alan Bean flipped the correct switch within the Command Module and the failing systems were restored, allowing the mission to continue. As a result, Conrad would become the third human to walk on the lunar surface.

Silver slung around the moon on Apollo 13— a sought-after Robbins medallion

date of April 11, 1970, and the return date of April 17, 1970. The medal is serial numbered “277” and stamped above with the Robbins “Sterling” hallmark. Encapsulated and graded by NGC as “MS 65,” with the label noting the provenance, “Ex. Buzz Aldrin.” Accompanied by the original case and a letter of provenance from aerospace memorabilia specialist Ken Havekotte, certifying that the medal “originated from the collection of Buzz Aldrin and was first sold in 1990 by Superior Galleries.”

Owing to the unusual circumstances of the Apollo 13 mission, the affiliated Robbins medallion differs from its counterparts. A total of 400 medals were originally minted with the names of the scheduled prime crew—James Lovell, Ken Mattingly, and Fred Haise—and carried on the harrowing flight. The last-minute crew change, with Jack Swigert replacing Mattingly due to potential illness, dictated a return of the flown medallions to Robbins to be melted down and re-struck with the correct crew. Additionally, since the lunar landing was aborted, only two engraving blanks were placed on the reverse side for the launch and return dates. Starting Bid $500

Flown EPS battery cable from the Command Module Odyssey, a critical electrical line that enabled the safe return of the Apollo 13 crew

7229. Apollo 13 Flown EPS Cable Used to Power the Command Module Odyssey Back to Earth. Incredible flown Bus Bar Batt B cable carried into lunar orbit during the Apollo 13 mission as part of the Command Module Odyssey’s Electrical Power System (EPS), which consists of the equipment and reactants required to supply the electrical energy sources, power generation and controls, power conversion and conditioning, and power distribution to the electrical buses. As such, this cable played a key role in the dramatic rescue of Apollo 13. After the explosion of the Service Module’s oxygen tank No. 2, the only power the spacecraft was able to maintain was through its batteries. Just prior to earth re-entry, the CM was powered up again using only its onboard batteries interconnected with this and several similar cables. The cable, 5.5˝ in length, is stamped on the body with part number “V36-452265,” and ends with two metal terminals.

In fine condition.

Accompanied by a detailed signed letter of provenance from Dave Scott, in part: “I hereby certify that the Apollo 15 ‘Earth Orbit Chart’ is from my personal collection and was flown to the Moon and then in lunar orbit for six days aboard the CM Endeavor during Apollo 15, the first “J” mission extended scientific exploration of the Moon, July 26 - August 7, 1971…This chart is one section of the series of earth parking orbit charts with orbital ground tracks used to locate the Apollo 15 spacecraft after launch and prior to the Trans Lunar Injection (TLI) maneuver…This chart was carried aboard the CM Endeavor for the 12-day mission to the Hadley Apennine region of the Moon. The earth orbit period prior to TLI was a critical time to evaluate the spacecraft condition prior to a full commitment to depart Earth and go to the Moon, with no return capability until passing the Moon, a period of over 6 days. The major consideration in the earth parking orbit phase was duration, i.e., the number of earth orbits before TLI, which was defined by spacecraft system considerations. The nominal minimum was set at 1.4 hours with a maximum duration of 4.5 hours from earth orbit insertion to the beginning of TLI. The minimum duration was limited by the time required to perform system checks, both onboard and from the ground, and also to realign the spacecraft’s guidance platform. Mission timeline plans indicated that this would require about 1.5 to 2 hours, or approximately 1 to 1.25 orbits. The location of the TLI maneuver was constrained by numerous considerations including the geometry of the moon’s orbit and the energy requirements of the lunar transfer trajectory. However, based on other factors, this nominal period could often be extended by other trajectory and spacecraft tradeoffs…TLI began at 2 hours, 50:02.90 minutes after lift-off and cutoff occurred 5:50.71 minutes later.” Starting Bid $1000

Dave Scott’s flown “LM Pre-Liftoff” star chart carried to the moon’s surface aboard the Lunar Module Falcon during Apollo 15, measuring 8.25˝ in diameter, signed and flight-certified on the reverse in black felt tip, “Circular star chart used on the lunar surface during Apollo 15, July 26–Aug. 7, 1971, Dave Scott, Apollo 15 CDR.” The chart consists of a black base disk portraying all stars visible within the hemisphere above the Hadley-Apennine landing site, and a rotatable semitransparent top disk with six concentric circular rings, each of which represents a 60-degree field of view similar to those seen through the viewfinder of the Falcon’s Alignment Optical Telescope (AOT). The reverse also bears an affixed Velcro tab. In fine condition.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by Dave Scott, certifying the chart as flown on Apollo 15 and describing in comprehensive detail its purpose and use on the mission. In small part: “The navigation of Apollo spacecraft was based on using the stars in a form of classical celestial navigation. For most applications the spacecraft would be maneuvered such that an onboard optical device (the ‘Alignment Optical Telescope,’ or AOT) could be used to sight specific stars – the information would then be used to determine the orientation of the spacecraft relative to an onboard ‘inertial platform’...However, when the LM was stationary on the surface of the Moon, to maneuver the spacecraft to point and track a selected star through the AOT was not possible. Therefore, a clever concept of tracking stars as they passed through the AOT field of view was devised...The Apollo 15 LM carried two such star charts. The first chart was for use in the event of an emergency abort lift off immediately after the initial landing. The second chart was for use during a normal lift off at the end of the mission on the lunar surface. The second chart was used due to the fact that the planets and stars had precessed across the sky during the time the LM was on the Moon.” Starting Bid $2500

Remarkable lunar map used on the surface of the moon during the first EVA of Apollo 15—marking the debut of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV)—labeled “Hadley Rille, EVA-I,” one page, 8 x 10.5, signed and flight-certified on the reverse in black felt tip, “This map was used aboard Lunar Rover #1 during Apollo 15, July 26–Aug 7, 1971. Dave Scott, Apollo 15 CDR.” The map traces the course of the first Apollo 15 EVA from the “LM Site” along the Rima Hadley, past Elbow Crater, to the rim of St. George Crater and back—a path covering about 9 km, which took about six and a half hours to complete. Major lunar geological features are indicated, with many of the craters identified by name. The map was clipped to the LRV accessory staff during EVA-1 so as to be readily available for navigational purposes, exposing it to lunar dust and the vacuum of space. In fine condition.

Accompanied by a detailed signed letter of provenance from Dave Scott, in part: “I hereby certify that the Apollo 15 Lunar Rover ‘Traverse Map’ labeled: ‘HADLEY RILLE, EVA-1, JULY 1971’ included with this letter was carried aboard Lunar Roving Vehicle #1 (LRV-1) while exploring the surface of the Moon during for three days at the Hadley Apennine site during Apollo 15…This map was extracted from the Apollo 15 ‘LM Lunar Surface Maps’ book…These maps contain traces of lunar dust and were exposed to the temperature extremes, radiation, and Solar Wind on the surface of the Moon…These maps were used for landmark recognition during navigation from the Lunar Module to the exploration stations as well as in an emergency return to the LM in the event the LRV was unable to return for any reason…During our first LRV drive, we proceeded south into the unknown. This was the first time in history that a motorized vehicle was driven by humans on another celestial body. The performance and characteristics of the vehicle had never been exposed to the lunar surface, nor had humans ever attempted to navigate and guide such a vehicle over a completely unknown surface such as the surface south of the LM. These very general and large-scale maps were the only available methods of visual navigation, and the relatively simple non-redundant LRV navigation system had never been verified on the Moon. Nevertheless, These maps were useful in locating our general position and coordinating the direction and distance from the LM and return. By coordinating with MCC and frequent reference to locations visually as well as on the maps, we were able to cover the routes planned in relative accuracy.” Starting Bid $2500

7197. Apollo 16 Lunar Surface-Used Moon Rock Scoop - From the Personal Collection of Charlie Duke.

Remarkable flown lunar soil scoop carried to the moon during the Apollo 16 mission and used extensively on the lunar surface by LMP Charlie Duke and CDR John Young during their three extravehicular activities (EVAs). This scoop played an essential role in the success of their mission, as they collected 95.8 kilograms (211 lbs) of lunar samples for return to Earth—including ‘Big Muley,’ an 11.7 kg (26 lb) specimen and the largest moon rock collected throughout the entire Apollo program. Duke relied on this scoop to support himself while collecting ‘Big Muley,’ as seen in footage taken during Apollo 16 and described in his own words: “I had to pick up a rock that was probably the size of a watermelon, and I could not pick it up with one hand. So I put the shovel down and leaned towards it, and rolled this rock up my side with my right hand, and was able to roll it up my leg and cradle it like a little baby, and take it back to the Lunar Module.” The scoop was also used to collect a rare ‘permanently shadowed sample’ from beneath a large boulder called ‘Shadow Rock,’ along with dozens of fine-grained lunar soil samples.

The scoop (with attached pole segment) measures 13.75˝ x 4.5˝ x 2˝, and is marked as “P/N SEB39107047-302, S/N 1005.” Two large, spring-loaded buttons enable the scoop’s head to rotate into positions at 180°, 45°, and 90°, allowing for ergonomic digging, scooping, and scraping. Abrasions on the scoop’s blade likely occurred from lunar sample collection. Though listed on the Apollo 16 stowage list as ‘SEB 39107047-302, Scoop, Large Adjustable,’ the piece was generally referred to as a ‘shovel’ by the astronauts during the mission—they refer to the ‘shovel’ some fifty times in the Apollo 16 air-to-ground transcript.

The scoop is extremely well documented in video footage from the Apollo 16 EVAs. They first put it to work during EVA-1 at Plum Crater, all documented on video: Duke collects lunar soil with the shovel, pours it into a bag that Young holds open, and Young loads it into the Sample Collection Bag (SCB), worn by Duke on the right side of his Portable Life Support System (PLSS). Young says: ‘Charlie, you’re gonna fall down here with all these rocks.’ Duke, laughing, replies: ‘No. I’ll give you the shovel in just a minute when I fill up, and we’ll swap.’ Duke goes on: ‘This shovel is a great tool, I’ll tell you.’ Young replies in hearty agreement: ‘Dadgum.’

It also appears in numerous photographs from the mission: most famously in the image of Charlie Duke standing on the rim of Plum Crater, the scoop plunged into the lunar soil beside him. Few lunar landing relics are as well-used or well-

documented as this moon rock scoop: having found it so useful during the mission, Duke chose to retain it as a souvenir. To his knowledge, only one other lunar scoop (from Apollo 14) was returned from the successful Apollo lunar landing missions; the others were left behind on the moon (as was the handle extension for this scoop), chiefly as a weight-saving measure for the return flight.

Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance signed by Charlie Duke, in small part: “I certify that this Shovel Serial number 1005 and Part Number SEB39107047-302, was one of the geology tools used by the crew of Apollo 16 during our three days stay on the Lunar Surface at the Descartes Highlands. It was used as a shovel to collect lunar dust and rock samples on the moon’s surface and as a trenching tool to dig trenches in the lunar surface so that we could collect sub surface samples…During our 72 hours on the moon, we used this shovel and other tools to collect over 200 pounds of rock and soil samples…The samples from the Descartes Highlands were unique among the lunar samples returned. This shovel has been in my possession since we returned from the moon.” Also includes a photocopy of the the final Apollo Stowage List (ASL), listing “SEB 39107047-302, Scoop, Large Adjustable” as equipment stowed onboard the Lunar Module.

Arrow and Recovery Team Wetsuit. Incredible flown faded yellow “Rescue” arrow from the hatch of the Apollo 17 Command Module ‘America,’ measuring 12˝ x 3˝, which was applied over the capsule’s exterior Kapton foil covering. The arrow pointed to the panel used to gain access to the spacecraft’s cabin from the outside, which would have been used in case of emergency. It has a distinctive and unique burn pattern due to the high temperature of re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere and it can be photo-matched to an included image of the ‘America’ floating in the South Pacific Ocean after splashdown on December 19, 1972; note the folded lower bard of the arrow’s head and the more aggressively burned bottom edge. As one of the only immediately visually identifiable elements of the spacecraft’s exterior, this is a truly remarkable and displayable piece; such flown items are virtually unobtainable. Also included is a letter of provenance from Terrance Moy, a member of the Apollo 17 UDT [Underwater Demolition Team] 11 Recovery Team, who obtained this rescue arrow following splashdown, as well as the actual “Apollo 17 UDT Recovery Team” wetsuit used by Moy during the oceanic recovery.

and

telescope (SCT)

Apollo Command Module simulator, famously called the ‘Great Train Wreck’ by John Young. The large optical assembly is for the scanning telescope (SCT), measuring approximately 38˝ x 16˝ x 9˝, and comprises a long optical tube terminating in a lens marked “L200-100-208 ASS’Y”; on the other end is the interior faceplate that has indicators for shaft angle and trunnion measurements. The dials and partial electronics for these two windows remain intact behind the faceplate. The two round hex recess-head parts on the face plate that look like screws are actually emergency backup drive units. A space tool inserted in the hex recess could be used to unlock and then drive the shaft and trunnion of the SCT manually. The scanning telescope served as a ‘finder’ for stars and

was a unity power (1X) instrument. The SCT was coupled electronically to the sextant and stars located in the center of the image in the SCT would be in, or near, the center of the field of view in the sextant. An angled eyepiece would have been attached to the front of the plate for looking through the Scanning Telescope.

The smaller assembly, measuring approximately 18˝ x 9˝ x 9˝, forms the second half of the sextant/telescope viewing panel; the sextant (SXT), and would also have had an eyepiece attached. In the flight sextant the angle information was provided to the Apollo Guidance Computer electronically. The piece terminates in an optical tube that in the simulator, as for the SCT, would have attached to optics for viewing a large star simulator globe. The sextant is a 28-power instrument. In overall very good condition. Starting Bid $500

The housing retains its original Honeywell label, reading: “Control Assembly, Attitude, Unit No. 005E, Mfg Part No. FOG163A1, NAA/S & ID Control No. LSC 300-1901, Contract No. 3-5[…], Mfg Serial No. 005E, Mfg Date 12-14-65.” Complete with its spring-loaded hand controller joystick with push-to-talk communications trigger switch. The controller mechanism remains tight and returns to neutral. In fine condition, with general wear and some splitting to the rubber dust boot cover.

This hand controller would be used for controlling the Lunar Module’s attitude, for example, in the final phase of the landing when the crewman wants to take over from the computer and manually pitch the spacecraft to aid in picking a landing site. The handle pivots at the palm for pitch up/down, through the center of the handle for yaw left/right, and inside the housing for roll left/right. These three-axis controls for pitch, roll, and yaw were vital for successfully maneuvering the spacecraft to and from the lunar surface, and for rendezvous and coking with the Command Module on the return home. The controllers were referred to as the ‘ACA’ for Attitude Control Assembly. Some of the first words on the moon spoken by Buzz Aldrin were ‘ACA out of detent.’ A significant and easily recognizable piece of iconic Lunar Module hardware. Starting Bid $2500

Scarce early generation of the Apollo DSKY—the mission-critical guidance computer interface

7241.Apollo Display and Keyboard Assembly (DSKY). Early generation of the Apollo Command Module Block II Display and Keyboard (DSKY) unit, developed to serve as the primary interface between the astronauts and the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC). The data entry and display device measures 8˝ x 8˝ x 6.5˝, and has 19 keys and an electroluminescent alphanumeric display. The back of the unit retains its NASA/Raytheon Co. metal label which reads, “Apollo G & N System, ACG DSKY Assembly, Part No. 2003994011, Serial No. RAY 39, Cont. No. NAS 9-497.” The unit is stenciled on the side in white: “2004705 Rev. A.” The drawing number indicates this is an early generation of the Block II DSKY, and as such would not have been flown. In very good condition, with cracked glass and area of circular loss to the display.

This interface was the instrument that allowed the astronauts to communicate directly with the on board guidance computer. The Command Module had two DSKYs connected to its AGC: one located on the main instrument panel and a second located in the lower equipment bay near a sextant used for aligning the inertial guidance platform, with a single DSKY installed in the Lunar Module. These units would also be used during the Skylab missions. Each AGC program had a two-digit code displayed on the screen, and commands were entered via a numerical keypad as two-digit numbers in a verb-noun sequence. It was the DSKY that provided the astronauts with critical burn times for engine firings, course corrections, trajectories, and other key calculations vital in getting a crew to and from the moon. The DSKY also reported the program alarm moments before the LM touched down on the lunar surface on the first lunar landing. DSKY units are among the most recognizable and historically significant of all Apollo spacecraft parts.

This Apollo DSKY originates from the personal estate of a prominent MIT graduate who was a longtime member of the MIT Radio Society. He worked at Draper Laboratory in Technology Square after concluding his studies at MIT. In addition, he played a major role in MIT’s well known aerospace projects, most notably Daedalus, which to this day holds the record for the longest distance and duration human powered flight.Starting Bid $10,000

Rocketdyne RS-2101 engine for the Viking Orbiter, tested to a dramatic failure

Viking Orbiter RS-21 Rocket Engine. Rocketdyne RS-2101 Liquid Rocket Engine designed for application on the Mars Viking Orbiter, which transported the first spacecraft to successfully land on the Planet Mars as part of Project Viking. Used in ground testing by North American Rockwell/Rocketdyne, this engine was pushed to a dramatic failure, rupturing the expansion bell and leaving it with some interesting metal coloration on the outside and within. Includes the Gimbal Ring assembly which supported up to 9 degrees off-axis nozzle positioning for thrust vectoring (spacecraft steering), for overall dimensions of 16” x 16” x 23” in its handling frame. Engine has a low serial number (“S/N 0007”). The engine was produced by Rocketdyne for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and includes gimbal attachments which allowed the engine to be adjusted on a rotational axis for in-flight course corrections. Its thrust chamber was derived from the Minuteman ballistic missile program. This piece will be crated and shipped from California; the buyer is responsible for all associated costs.

From the Planet Mars—Complete Specimen of Gadamis 001 with Martian Atmosphere

signature of the Martian atmosphere which scientists learned about in great detail from NASA’s Viking space probes.

Infinitely more rare than diamonds or gold, meteorites from Mars are among the most exotic substances on Earth with less than 350 kg (770 lbs) known to exist. Scientists long suspected an esoteric group of unusual meteorites with similar features were pieces of Mars which landed on Earth. There were many different reasons to believe in a planetary origin and it was thought these meteorites were either from Venus or Mars. Scientists correctly speculated that an asteroid impact must have “kicked” some of the material off one of the other planets—and as a result of the weaker gravity and thinner atmosphere of Mars, which meant less energy would be required to eject the specimens off the Martian surface —it was reasoned these unusual meteorites were from the planet Mars.

And then there was proof! Many of these meteorites—including the current example—contain impact glass and researchers determined that inside the glass meteorites that were tested there were tiny bubbles, and within these tiny bubbles were minute amounts of gas. And the gas matched perfectly with the

This specimen has been authenticated by scientists of the Meteoritical Society—the foremost organization of meteorite researchers in the world—as being a Martian basalt, which is to say it’s a type of lava composed of olivine, pyroxene and feldspar in the form of maskelynite. As tremendous amounts of heat and pressure are required for maskelynite to form, this is consistent with an impact event on Mars which would explain this specimen’s delivery mechanism to Earth.

This specimen was found by desert nomads in May 2019 and is exceedingly fresh. A large swath of fusion crust—the result of frictional heating as the meteorite burned through Earth’s atmosphere as it plunged to Earth. With a large-grained diabasic texture, this piece of Mars contains prixmatic clinopyroxene, lathes of maskynite with accessory merrillite, apatite, ilmenite and pyrrhotite. Pockets of shock melt are in evidence which infers the presence of Martian atmosphere.

Partial slice of Tisserlitine 001— from the second largest Moon rock on Earth

7389. Tisserlitine 001 Lunar Meteorite Slice. Lunar meteorite (feldspathic breccia) 
Sahara Desert, Kidal, Mali 

Lunar meteorites striking Earth are the result of fragments of the Moon having been ejected off the lunar surface by asteroid impacts; nearly all of the craters of the Moon are the result of such impacts. Scientists are readily able to identify Moon rocks by analyzing a rock’s texture, mineralogy, chemistry and isotopes. Because of the many, many impacts that occurred on the Moon’s surface, Moon rocks have a lot of different looks and textures. Tisserlitine 001 is an extremely unique presentation—not only because of what occurred on the Moon but also what occurred on Earth following its arrival. There are minerals present which would require hot water—irrefutable evidence of this meteorite having landed where there was once a hot spring. Tisserlitine contains clasts of anorthite, olivine, pigeonite, augite and orthopyroxene in a fine-grained matrix. The scientist who did the analysis on this specimen, Dr. Anthony Irving, has an international reputation for classifying Martian and lunar meteorites. This partial slice was cut from what was the second largest piece of the Moon on Earth. This partial slice features one edge of its natural exterior surface as well as Tisserlitine’s characteristic venting of the matrix. The polished surface reveals myriad brecciated fragments of the Moon. Only about 800 kg of lunar meteorites are known to exist, making the Moon among the rarest substances on our planet.

Triangular specimen of the Moon—NWA 12691

7390. NWA 12691 Lunar Meteorite Segment. Lunar meteorite (feldspathic breccia) 
Sahara Desert, North West Africa

Lunar meteorites arrive on Earth as a result of having been ejected off the lunar surface by asteroid impacts. Scientists are readily able to identify Moon rocks by analyzing a rock’s texture, mineralogy, chemistry and isotopes. Moon rocks also contain gases from the solar wind, and those gases have markedly different isotope ratios depending upon a terrestrial or lunar origin. This chunk of the Moon is a breccia, which means it’s a lot of different fragments of a lot of different things which were ‘cemented’ together as a result of pressure and heat. The white mineral is anorthite, which is very rare on Earth but not on the Moon. The scientist who did the analysis, Dr. Anthony Irving, is internationally renowned for classifying Martian and lunar meteorites. This triangular specimen is cut on four surfaces with a natural surface on one face. This wedge is the result of creating a polyhedral blank in the preparation of a large sphere. One would expect some of the Moon rocks that Apollo missions returned to Earth to strongly resemble lunar meteorites—and that is exactly the case with this specimen—an

Numerous fragments of different

materials were naturally ‘cemented’ together as a result of the pressure and heat from repeated impacts on the lunar surface—with one such impact sending the rock from which this sphere was made off into space. The prominent white clasts seen are anorthite, which is very rare on Earth but not on the Moon, which are suspended in dark lunar regolith (i.e., lunar soil comprised of pulverized rocks including some volcanic glass, which melted following an asteroid impact and subsequently hardened). Scientists are readily able to identify Moon rocks by analyzing a rock’s texture, mineralogy, chemistry and isotopic signatures. As an added reference, this specimen is nearly identical to some of the material returned to Earth by Apollo astronauts.

While meteorites are exceptionally rare—the weight of every meteorite known is less than the world’s annual output of gold—lunar meteorites are far more rare still. They represent just 0.5% of all meteorites and weigh in-total about 800 kilograms—every bit of which would fit in the back of an SUV. A good deal of this material is untouchable as it’s in museums and research institutions. As it regards the 380 kilograms of material returned to Earth by the Apollo missions—every milligram of that material is untouchable. Further, the cutting, grinding and polishing which occurs in the sphere fabrication process results in a good deal of material loss. 30 mm in diameter and 41.16 grams.

Found in Algeria in 2005, NWA 2801 is an extremely rare class of meteorite originating from the deepest depths of asteroid Vesta. The designation of Olivine Diogenite mandated an addition to the longstanding “howardite-eucrite-diogenite” (HED) subgroup resulting in the clan becoming “HEDO” to account for the new subset. This example is noteworthy for green hues, which dominate a unique ‘camouflage’ mottled surface.

Stunning, heart-shaped slice of the carbonaceous chondrite meteorite Northwest Africa 8722 (NWA 8722), originally purchased as an 8.1 kg stone in Morocco in 2006. The dark matrix is richly ingrained with chondrules, including CAl-rich inclusions—the oldest solid matter in our solar system. Precipitated directly from the swirling nebular gas of our solar system as it formed, at 1,400° near the Sun, CAI (Calcium–aluminium-rich inclusion) grains proliferated at the very beginning, literally setting the clock for the start of our Solar System some 4.567 billion years ago.

Per the Meteoritical Bulletin: ‘The meteorite consists of ca. 40% diverse chondrules (typically mm-sized), 8% refractory inclusions, 2% lithic inclusions/fragments of mm to cm-size, and 50% matrix. The lithic inclusion are of dark or CO chondrite-like texture. The matrix is light brown and somewhat weathered with no visible metal.’

Slab of Seymchan meteorite featuring extraterrestrial gemstones and chromite

Representing less than 0.2% of all known meteorites, pallasites are the most beautiful extraterrestrial substance known. Like all pallasites, Seymchan formed at the boundary of the stony mantle and molten iron core of an asteroid that was obliterated following a collision with another asteroid. The crystals of olivine and peridot (gem-quality olivine and the birthstone of August) are the result of chunks of the stony mantle becoming encircled by the metal of the asteroid’s metallic core. The materials then cooled and crystallized. The prominent metallic latticework seen is referred to as a Widmanstätten pattern. It is evidence of a slow cooling rate that provided sufficient time — millions of years — for two metallic alloys to orient into their crystalline structure.

This slab contains a thick edge of the meteorite’s natural exterior surface and four cut surfaces revealing its otherworldly metallic lattice. An inclusion of chromite is in evidence along with schreibersite, which many researchers believe was the primary source of phosphorus to enable life, which was delivered to Earth via meteorites billions of years ago. From the core of an asteroid and older than Earth itself, this engaging specimen which fits in a child’s palm has it all.

Conditions of Sale

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

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

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

Section 1

The Parties1.1

Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog.

1.2 Bidder

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

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

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

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

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

Section 2 Bidding Privileges

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

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

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

Section 3 Buyer’s Premium

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

Section 4

Bidding

4.1 Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s) and independent investigation, rather than the any reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. Bidder affirms that it regards any statements made by RR Auction concerning the item as solely opinion and that Bidder is making its own inspection and independent evaluation of the goods, and is not relying upon any description or statements by RR Auction (including as to quality, authenticity, provenance, ownership, liens existing, on goods legality, or value) in making its determination to bid on or purchase an item. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

4.2 RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot,

even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 5

Bidding Options

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

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

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

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

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

Section 6 Payment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

der’s property in their possession.

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

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

Section 11

Section 8

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

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

Section 9

Title

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

Section 10

Rights Reserved

RR Auction reserves the right, at any time before, during or after an auction has ended to: withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction,

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

11.3

Reserves

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

11.4 Off-Site Bidding

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

11.5 Estimate Prices:

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

11.6 Owned or Guaranteed Property:

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

11.7 Before the Auction:

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

11.8 Maximum Bids In All Auctions:

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

Section 7 Sales Tax

Bidder’s bid.

11.9 Successful Bids:

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

11.10 Unsold Lots:

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

11.11 Bidding in Timed Auction:

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

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

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

11.12 Bidding - Internet Live Auction:

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

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

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

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

11.13 Miscellaneous:

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

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

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

Section 12 RR

Auction’s Remedies

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

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

Section 13

Warranties

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

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

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

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

Section 14

Firearms

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

Section 15

Unauthorized Statements

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

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

Section 16

Bidder’s Remedies

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

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

16.3 Title to Items

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

16.4 Authenticity Challenge Process

(1) If Bidder wishes to dispute or challenge the Authenticity of the lot or item (including asserting that it is incorrect), Bidder must adhere to the following procedure: Within 30 days of the Auction Date, Bidder must present written evidence to RR Auction, that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field (and one recognized by RR Auction within its discretion) and send the physical item or lot at issue to RR Auction along with all evidence relied upon by Bidder for contesting the Authenticity. (“Authenticity Challenge Process”) “Authenticity” shall mean a gross discrepancy in the between the description, genuiness, or attribution of the item as represented by RR Auction in the Catalog or at the auction, and the item. If RR Auction concurs that the lot is not Authentic as was represented (it is sole discretion), Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, agents, employees, and contractors) shall be a refund of the purchase price of the subject item paid by Bidder, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable by Bidder. If RR Auction does not agree with the assertion by Bidder, then

the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale. Strict adherence to the Authenticity Challenge Process is a condition of standing for Bidder to initiate suit or claim.

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

16.5 Other Issues. Any dispute or claim by Bidder against RR Auction (or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors)) other than Authenticity, concerning any item or lot bid upon, or purchased, including value, title, condition, bidding process, or description must be asserted (if at all) in the following manner:

(1) If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially or grossly incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), or there is any other gross material issue pertaining to the item or lot, the item or lot may be returned if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date with explanation in writing.. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and a certificate of auction, then the description in the certificate of auction (“Lot Challenge Process”). This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received by RR Auction within the period of time stated herein or not materially or grossly in deviation from the description. Such a refund is subject to RR Auction’s sole discretionary review, and any request for refund must be made concurrently with returning the physical item or lot to RR Auction. Any item not returned within said frame will constitute acceptance of the item and a waiver and release of any and all claims by Bidder pertaining to the item other than with respect to authenticity; and

(2) Provided that the Bidder has engaged in the Lot Challenge Process, any claim concerning such must be brought no later than one (1) year of the Auction Date for the item or lot at issue and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

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

16.6 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. For any and all claims by Bidder arising out of or related to this Agreement, Bidder’s viewing, bid, or purchase of items, or any agreement between the Parties, or otherwise, Bidder agrees that to the fullest extent such can be limited under the law, Bidder shall have no right to recover and hereby waives any and all rights to recover from against RR Auction or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors, consequential or indirect damages, lost profits damages, punitive, exemplary, statutory (or multiplier damages), physical or emotional distress damages, general or special damages of any kind (beyond amounts actually paid by Bidder for item(s) at issue), and in the event of recovery of any damages whatsoever, such shall be limited by the amounts actually paid by Bidder to RR Auction for the item(s) at issue in such claim, or if no money was paid to RR Auction by Bidder for items at issue, or there items are at issue, the amount of $150.00.

Section 17

RR Auction’s Additional Services

For Bidders who do not remove purchased property from RR Auction’s premises, RR Auction, in its sole discretion and solely as a service and accommodation to Bidders, may arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded at the sole request, expense, and risk of Bidder. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for dam-

age to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice, RR Auction will include an administration charge.

Section 18

Headings

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

Section 19 Entire Agreement

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

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

Section 20 Governing Law and Enforcement

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

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

To the extent such is necessary under the law, RR Auction may enforce the Arbitration award against Bidder and any related Party

in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as RR Auction consenting to jurisdiction or venue in any location outside of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

THE PARTIES MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER AS A CLASS OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLAIMED CLASS, OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE ACTION UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED, THE CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OF THE OTHER CANNOT BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED WITH MORE THAN ONE ADDITIONAL PERSON OR ENTITIES’ CLAIMS.

20.4 Except as provided specifically in these Conditions of Sale in Bidder’s Remedies against RR Auction (along with its affiliates, directors, agents, officers, employees, and contractors) for any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other related agreement(s), brought by Bidder must be brought within the earlier of the Auction Date as it pertains to the item(s) at issue or no later than one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances occurred giving rise to the alleged claim, without exception. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute bar to and release of any claims by Bidder initiated after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances.

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

20.7 Liquidated Damages for Specific Breaches

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

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

Section 21: State-by-State Law Issues

This Auction is being conducted in and the sale shall take place in the State of Massachusetts. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, should these terms and conditions violate the law of any State should that state’s law be found to govern, or any provision herein determined to be invalid, the

clause itself and the remainder of the Agreement shall be valid to the fullest extent allowed. Also, to the extent other states law apply to any transaction arising out of the Agreement (without admitting such), RR Auction states:

For Residents of California:

SALE OF AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLES: AS REQUIRED BY LAW, A DEALER WHO SELLS TO A CONSUMER ANY COLLECTIBLE DESCRIBED AS BEING AUTOGRAPHED MUST PROVIDE A WRITTEN EXPRESS WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF SALE. THIS DEALER MAY BE SURETY BONDED OR OTHERWISE INSURED TO ENSURE THE AUTHENTICITY OF ANY AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLE SOLD BY THIS DEALER.

A written express warranty is provided with each autographed collectible, as required by law. This dealer may be surety bonded or otherwise insured to ensure the authenticity of any autographed collectible sold by this dealer.

Section 22 Glossary of Condition terms

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

Use of the following terms constitutes an opinion as follows:

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

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

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

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

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

Certificate of Auction, Certificate of Authenticity and Goods Acquired:

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