2 BEATLES

BEATLES

Please, Please Me 1. Beatles. A mono black/gold first pressing of the Beatles’ Please Please

Me album signed on the back cover in blue ballpoint, “Paul McCartney,” “John Lennon,” “George Harrison,” and “Ringo Starr.” General wear to corners, creases to edges and front cover, and a bit of light soiling to back cover, otherwise fine condition. All of the signatures are large and quite bold, and the record is included. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, in part, “These signatures were obtained at the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool on April 12, 1963, when The Beatles headlined an 8 hour Rhythm and Blues Marathon…the signatures were obtained by a helper working that day at the club, roughly 3 weeks after the album’s March 22nd release date, and these are large, excellent representative examples of each from this period.”Employee who obtained the signatures had given Neil Aspinall a hand in moving equipment into the club for their show; after bringing the band refreshments at Aspinall’s request—making tea for Ringo and bringing Coca-Colas for McCartney, Lennon, and Harrison...This show marked the Beatles’ second-to-last performance at the Cavern Club—four months later, on August 3rd, the band would play their 292nd and final show there, saying farewell to the venue that had given them their start.

Their second single—signed at the Cavern Club in 1963

2. Beatles. Highly desirable Parlophone red label copy of the Beatles’ ‘Please Please Me/Ask Me Why’ in its original

sleeve, signed on the A-side in black ballpoint by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. A few marks through George’s first name from Ringo’s prior attempt to establish ink flow and irregular ink adhesion to portions of Lennon’s last name against the silver ‘Parlophone’ lettering (leaving just the impression), otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in full: “I bought the Beatles 2nd single—Please Please Me—from Nems Record Store in Whitechapel, Liverpool, on 10th January 1963. I took it to the Cavern Club a few days later and had it signed in front of me by all 4 Beatles, at the back of the Cavern Club.” Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, stating in part: “These signatures are found on the rare UK red label 45 rpm record for the band’s second single on Parlophone Records...’Please Please Me’ was the first Beatles single to reach #1 in the record charts, and as very few ‘Please Please Me’ 45s were signed by the Beatles, this is an extremely scarce and desirable signed Beatles record.”

The ‘Please Please Me’ single was not actually released until January 11th, so she must have either gotten a ‘sneak preview’ or is mistaken about the date she purchased the record. Regardless, the Beatles played at the Cavern Club on January 20 which is most likely when this was signed—after this, they would only appear at the Cavern Club three more times, with their last performance occurring on August 3, 1963. A supremely desirable fully signed example of their wildly successful second single. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.…Starting Bid $1000

Wonderful large 1961 portrait signed by John, Paul, George, and Pete Best 3. Beatles. Vintage 8.25 x 6.5

promo photo of the Beatles taken in 1961 by Merseyside photographer Albert Marrion, signed and inscribed on the reverse in blue ballpoint, “Love to Barbara from John Lennon xxxx Beatles,” “Love to Barbara from Paul McCartney xxx,” “To Barbara, with love from George Harrison xxxxx,” and “Love to Barbara from Pete Best xxxx.” In very good to fine condition, with scattered toning and light soiling to reverse, a couple of tack holes to edges, and some scattered creases, impressions and spots to image side. The signatures date from late December 1961 to January 1962, and were obtained by a former NEMS Enterprises employee named Barbara McCoy, who then gifted a photo to a friend.

Accompanied by a brief letter of provenance from the friend, which reads: “I was given the signed Beatles picture by my friend’s mum Barbara McCoy who told me she worked for NEMS in the early 1960s.

This casual photo of the band posing with their instruments, was originally taken by Marrion at his Wallasey studio in December 10, 1961. Much larger than the standard size promo photos of the time, complete bandsigned portraits featuring Pete Best are notoriously scarce.

Exceptional Parlophone card inscribed to a fellow Merseybeat guitarist

5. Beatles. Uncommon large format March 1963 issue UK Parlophone Records promotional card, 7.25 x 5, featuring an

Angus McBean portrait of the band on the front, signed and inscribed in black ballpoint to their friend Chris Huston, “To Chris, me ould mate, keep going, John Lennon,” “To Chris, all the very best, Paul McCartney,” “To Chris, best wishes from George Harrison,” and “To Chris, Best wishes, Ringo Starr.” Scattered bends and creases (primarily to edges), otherwise fine condition.

Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Beatles expert Perry Cox, as well as a letter of provenance from Chris Huston.

Huston was a fellow Liverpudlian guitarist in one of the leading local Merseybeat bands, The Undertakers, who played many shows with the Beatles. He was a friend of the group, and actually installed the Bigsby on John Lennon’s Rickenbacker 325 guitar that he played on the Ed Sullivan Show. Shortly after the Beatles’ new promo card came out Lennon showed it to Huston, who asked them to sign it—thus the warm inscriptions to a friend. In his letter of provenance, Huston describes this as coming from a scrapbook that he kept of autographed photos of the musicians he met while touring, such as Little Richard, Gene Vincent, Tony Sheridan, and Bill Haley. Excellent provenance and association to the early British Merseybeat music scene—a simply superb, fully signed example of the rarer large format Parlophone card.

After the screening, the Beatles appeared at the supper party at the Orchid Room of the Dorchester Hotel attended by most of the film’s principals, including director Richard Lester, and co-stars Eleanor Bron, Victor Spinetti, Leo McKern, and Roy Kinnear. As the premiere was taking place, Help! went on general release in several seaside towns around England.

Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr on an off-white 6.5 x 8 sheet of letterhead featuring a red silhouette image of the Fab Four and the text, “From your area secretary of The Official Beatles Fan Club,” as well as its London address. A central horizontal fold and mild creases, otherwise fine condition. A visually appealing set of bold, uninscribed signatures on a band-related piece of ephemera—far more desirable than a typical album page or sheet.

A. in which Jackwill “is able to provide the benefit of services throughout the world other than in the United Kingdom or Eire for the purpose of participating in the promotion and exploitation of commercial phonograph recordings…Jackwill shall procure and provide such services for the purpose of promoting and exploiting the ACL commercial phonograph records produced by ACL for the benefit of ACL as ACL shall request throughout the world…for a period of eight (8) years from the 1st January 1975.” For their services Jackwill will receive a yearly payment of £40,000.

Accompanied by a 1993 letter of provenance from the previous owner, which reads “This contract was found in the Jackwill files in the possession of my father ‘R. D. A. Wills’ ergo it is Jackwill’s copy of the contract.”

Disbanding in 1970, the band’s partnership was finally dissolved in 1975. Although no longer a musical group, the band continued to conduct business on behalf of their corporation. Any official company business still required the signatures of all four members, as shown by all four signing off on this long-term worldwide marketing agreement with Jackwill. A complete set of signatures from this late date, five long years after their last formal collaboration, are of the utmost scarcity and are seldom ever seen.

1969 stock transfer forms

15. Beatles. Four stock transfer documents, each signed by a different band member, each one page, 8 x 13, all four

stamp-dated July 30, 1969, each assigning or transferring shares of stock. McCartney’s, signed ”Paul McCartney,” assigns the shares to Edelweiss Investments Limited; Lennon’s, signed “John Lennon,” assigns the shares to Daffodil Investments Limited; Harrison’s, signed “George Harrison,” assigns the shares to Cornflower Investments Limited; and Starr’s, signed “R. Starkey,” assigns the shares to Daffodil Investments Limited.

Accompanied by letters of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo for the Lennon and McCartney documents.

These shares were the Beatles’ holdings as a result of the sale of NEMS Publishing to Triumph earlier in 1969. Each form indicates a transfer amount of 735 shares to four of the seven investment companies formed on behalf of the band. These agreements represent a decision by the Beatles to transfer an equal number of shares of Triumph stock to the brokerage house Whyte, Brecher, & Gasc Ltd. Each of these transactions was made through the band members’ individual investment companies. When these agreements were signed, the Beatles were in EMI Studios putting the finishing touches on their final album, Abbey Road. On the very same day these forms were signed John recorded lead guitar overdubs on ‘Come Together’ and the band completed their first full mix-down on the famous Abbey Road medley. Beatles signatures appearing on anything from the year 1969 are highly sought after due to their scarcity and the close proximity to the band’s breakup.

John makes a case for Yoko’s music 18. John Lennon. ALS, two pages, 8.5 x 11, Apple memorandum letterhead, December 13, 1971. Lennon writes to durable New York television personality Joe Franklin. In full [Lennon’s spelling and punctuation retained]: “I know you’re a musician at heart! and especially I know you dig jazz.—Well, Yoko’s music ain’t quite jazz But…to help you get off on it, or understand it, please listen to a track on the ‘Yoko/Ono/ Plastic Ono Band,’ called ‘AOS,’ which was recorded in 1968 (pre Lennon/Beatles!) with Ornette Coleman at Albert Hall London, you could call it free form, anyway Yoko sits in the middle of avantegarde, classic, jazz—and now through me and my music—rock ’n’ roll! On the new album ‘Fly’ the experiment goes a step ‘further’—free form music—with robot musicians! (not computer—electronic—)—check the inside of Fly double-album for info and photo of the ‘musicians,’ of course Yoko can explain her music better in person, this is a kind of introduction. For something rather more ‘straight,’ a track called ‘Mrs. Lennon’ on ‘Fly’ is an example of her more conservative side! She was trained as a classical musician, and took music composition in Sarah Lawrence College as her major. It’s far out, but don’t let it frighten you. With love….” After signing, Lennon adds his trademark thumbnail sketch of himself and Yoko, as well as a postscript: “The book ‘Grapefruit’ speaks for itself, now

in its 4th edition paperback. Yoko calls them, ‘instructions’ to help you through life rather than poetry!” Lennon has also added to each page a red rubber stamp of his own sketch of himself and Yoko, as well as that of an old-fashioned pointing finger. In fine condition.

Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, which reads, in part: “John writes to convince Franklin about Yoko’s abilities and talents, validating her by noting that she worked with Ornette Colman at the Royal Albert Hall in 1968. He also urges Franklin to listen to a song on her ‘Fly’ album…

This letter shows how proud John was of Yoko and how he believed in her as a multitalented artist. The letter has good content, and was more than likely written to provide background and introduction for a proposed Yoko guest spot on the Joe Franklin Show to promote the ‘Fly’ album.” Lennon appeared only on a scant handful of television shows after the break-up of the Beatles, almost all with Ono at his side, however, it does not appear they ever appeared on Franklin’s show. Arguably one of the best Lennon letters ever offered, rife with musical content, as well as Lennon’s passionate advocation for public acceptance of Yoko’s music.

Pointedly defensive ALS signed “John & Yoko (remember),” on the correspondence side of a 5.75 x 3.75 postcard depicting the Lennon version of ‘Spring Evening 1879,’ no date but circa late 1971 or early 1972.

In response to negative comments about Yoko which were printed in Melody Maker magazine’s Raver column, Lennon writes in full: “Dear Raver, We never did talk to Miles about working with him–so there. Anyway the idea was for Miles and Yoko to do a track together—i mean she worked with Ornette Coleman in 1967–8 at Albert Hall—it’s on her last album. Having met Miles at Klein’s party—i know damn well he wouldn’t be as sneid [sic] as you cunts. Lots of Rave.” Lennon’s home address of Tittenhurst Park in England has been stamped twice at the top of the correspondence side, in addition to a thick red stamp on the image side reading “FUCK OFF.” Some scattered light creasing and soiling, otherwise fine condition.

White album portraits including Lennon’s iconic image

22. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr. Fabulous collection of three color 7.5 x 10.75 lightweight card-

stock head-and-shoulders photos of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr from the Beatles White album packaging.

Lennon’s is signed in red ballpoint, McCartney’s is signed in blue felt tip, and Starr’s is signed in black felt tip, “Ringo.” In fine condition, with heavy contrast to most of Lennon’s signature. All three photos are accompanied by letters of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo. His letter for the Lennon photo reads, in part: “The signature dates from the mid 1970s, and it is very reminiscent of the style of autograph which appeared on items he was signing while he was the special guest host of the WFIL Radio ‘Helping Hands Marathon.’” All three portraits were originally taken at the Apple studios by photographer John Kelly in the fall of 1968. This image of Lennon has become one of the most widely recognized and famous portraits of the rock and roll legend. These desirable White album photos—a rarity themselves—are the next best thing to having an elusive band-signed White album. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.…Starting Bid $500

Lennon sends 50,000 copies of Imagine to the Soviet Union 23. John Lennon. DS, one

page, 8.25 x 11.5, January 4, 1977.

Agreement between EMI Records and Lennon regarding the shipment of his Imagine album to the USSR. In part: “In consideration of the release of 50,000 copies of the album entitled ‘Imagine’ in the USSR it is hereby agreed that a royalty of a sum of £2,880 shall be payable to you in respect thereof in substitute for that royalty specified in Clause 5 of the said Agreement in respect of such sales of the said album in such country only.” Signed at the conclusion by Lennon and countersigned

by EMI executive L. G. Wood. In fine condition, with expected document wear and holes. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo.

The Beatles were responsible for sparking the rock and roll movement in the Soviet Union during the 1960s. Despite the government’s censorship and the nation’s press labeling the band’s music the ‘belch of Western culture,’ their music made it into the country via the black market and bootlegs. As the 1970s progressed, the government officially sanctioned VIAs (vocal instrumental ensembles), whose lyrics were vetted and considered tame. The document offered here is an excellent example of the softening of the Soviet government in rock and roll, with Lennon agreeing to a lump sum up front. Despite the offering of Imagine in the USSR, the government remained vigilant of rock and roll for the following decade, even interpreting vigils held after Lennon’s death in 1980 as protests against the regime.

Super rare personally played exact Gibson reproduction of Paul’s 1964 Epiphone ‘Texan’ 33. Paul McCartney. Highly

desirable and extremely limited edition Paul McCartney 1964 Epiphone ‘Texan’ sixstring acoustic guitar, #25/40, signed on the body in black felt tip by McCartney. Guitar has been meticulously handaged to replicate playing wear and also has a Detroit Red Wings logo sticker affixed to the body. Accompanied by an individually numbered certificate of authenticity from Gibson, a photo taken at time of signing, and its original custom lightweight fabric-covered guitar case with McCartney’s facsimile signature and model name embroidered on the front. “It’s exciting to have my old guitar reproduced by Gibson. It’s exact and what’s more it sounds great!” exclaimed McCartney when speaking about the effort Gibson expended in reproducing his ’64 Texan. McCartney still performs with his Texan, most recently during his summer 2011 American tour. It was on August 14, 1965, the day before The Beatles legendary Shea Stadium concert, that the lefthanded McCartney was seen on The Ed Sullivan Show with his Texan, a right-handed model re-strung for a lefty. Beatles fans at home would have to wait until September 12 to see The Beatles perform a six-song set; one of the highlights being McCartney’s performance of ‘Yesterday’ accompanied by a pre-recorded string quartet. A limited production of just 40 of these guitars was made with a list price of $25,000.

McCartney played all of them, and selected five to keep for himself. The first Texan was auctioned at the Adopt-aMinefield event, hosted by McCartney, and sold for $50,000.

BOB DYLAN Writing out lyrics for an early 1961 Greenwich Village performances, including ‘Wreck on the Highway’ and ‘Mary of the Wild Moor’ 105. Bob Dylan. Handwritten lyrics, in pencil, unsigned, on both sides of a 7.5 x 10 lightly-lined note book page, dating from around November of 1961. Dylan has written out the lyrics to four songs he was working on memorizing for performances in Greenwich Village. He writes out the complete lyrics to ‘Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down,’ by Roy Acuff; ‘Wreck on the Highway,’ by Dorsey Dixon; and two traditional ballads, the 1840s ‘Mary of the Wild Moor,’ and ‘Crying Holy to the Frost,’

by Irene Amburgey. Dylan has written the titles to three of the songs above their lyrics, with the ‘Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down’ lyrics reading in part: “I been all around this Been down to sunny Alabama My momma always told me son Never let your deal go down Last time I seen my girl of mine She’s standing in the door She said honey I’ll be a long time gone You’ll never see around no more.”

Dylan also writes out all eight verses of the folk ballad ‘Mary of the Wild Moor,’ which begins: “It was on one cold winter night, When the wind blew across the wild moor.

When Mary came wandering home with a child, Till she came to her own father’s door.

‘Father, dear father,’ she cried, ‘Come down and open the door, Or the child in my arms will perish and die, From the winds that blow across the wild moor.”

In fine condition, with intersecting folds, some scattered light soiling to reverse (slightly affecting a couple lines of lyrics), and some ballpoint marks in the upper right blank area.

Having moved to New York City at the beginning of 1961, Dylan began playing at various clubs in the city’s famed Greenwich Village almost immediately, including The Cafe Wha?, The Gaslight Cafe, and Gerde’s Folk City, where he played his first professional gig in April. His sets would include songs from other folk musicians he met in the Village, as well as country and Irish folk songs, as evidenced here by including Dorsey’s Dixon’s 1937 ‘Wreck on the Highway,’ and the blues song ‘Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down,’ made popular

by Roy Acuff. It was in this thriving folk scene that he would cut his teeth in preparation for his first album, recorded right around the time these lyrics were written. Dylan would return to ‘Mary of the Wild Moor’ during his 1980 West Coast tour, performing the song 16 different times, with ‘Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down’ appearing on a handful of set lists in 1992.

These lyrics represent the very beginning of Dylan’s musical career, with this particular example containing an amazing four songs, with 80 lines in Dylan’s hand. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.…Starting Bid $2500

Whilst at the October 1967 Jimi Hendrix Experience gig she told me she got chatting to Jimi’s sister and was dancing in the crowd. After the gig she invited my mother back to the band’s dressing room/ trailer to meet them all. I’m not sure if she pulled the poster off of the wall before or after this, but once she was with the band she asked them all to sign the poster for her. Since that night it has been kept folded up in a drawer with other autographs.”

Hendrix was in the middle of his second European tour in support of the band’s critically acclaimed album Are You Experienced.

Agreement between RSVP Music, Inc. and Jimi Hendrix, who sells all rights to his song entitled ‘I Ain’t Taking Care of No Business’ for the sum of $1.00. “Jimmy Hendrix” is listed as the sole composer of the song, and will receive $0.05 for each piano and orchestration copy of the music sold, 50% of the net sums received by RSVP for the sales of the piano and orchestration music, and 50% of net proceeds from the sale of records or other instruments used to reproduce the song. Signed on the back in blue ink

by Hendrix. In fine condition.

This is one of the earliest known publishing contracts from Hendrix, dating from his days of recording with Curtis Knight in 1966, before he became a solo star. Hendrix was still a relative unknown in the music community. However, in the spring of 1966, while playing in a New York City club, he was ‘discovered’ by Linda Keith, thengirlfriend of Keith Richards. That break changed his career and shortly afterwards he changed his name to Jimi and formed the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The song ‘I Ain’t Taking Care of No Business’ was released by Capitol Records on the album Get That Feeling in December 1967, where it was retitled ‘No Business.’ An incredibly early document signed shortly before he would explode on the music scene as a guitar icon.

1960s Handwritten lyrics to an unpublished Parsons song, paired with Patsy Cline and Willie Nelson 244. Gram Parsons. Hand-

written lyrics to three songs, including one which appears to be an unpublished Parsons original work, on both sides of a 9.5 x 12.5 musicallylined sheet. On one side, Parsons has penned slightly modified lyrics to Willie Nelson’s song ‘Family Bible,’ as well as a few lines from ‘I Fall to Pieces.’

On the reverse, Parsons has written 12 lines of working lyrics to an original unpublished song. The lyrics to the untitled song read: “A girl came by today / I don’t know her name / but I’m still seeing her face / just the same. / I wonder if she’ll stay / and let me love her / Certainly it would be better / reason that she came / How many times / have I been lost at sea? / Been afraid of caring / feeling no one knows that but me.” The majority of the opposite side bears 16 lines of Nelson’s ‘Family Bible,’ each line written over several times in black felt tip, with six lines of Cline’s song in the lower left corner. In very good condition, with small edge tears and creases, some stray ink marks, and scattered toning along one vertical edge.

An enormously influential musician, Parson’s is widely recognized as the father of country-rock, which he preferred to refer to as ‘Cosmic American Music.’ His career included stints with the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, as well as a long-time friendship with Keith Richards, to whom he introduced country music. This original work, combined with the classic lyrics of Cline and Nelson’s brand of outlaw country, makes this an incredibly unique convergence of the type of music which Parsons is remembered for. His early death at the age of 26, and just six albums released during his lifetime make any music-related material from him extraordinarily rare, especially original lyrics.

Original Joplin wardrobe designs worn in 1969

246. Janis Joplin. Two original ink design sketches for outfits worn by Janis Joplin, unsigned, drawn by her best friend, roommate, and designer Linda Gravenites. The first full-length sketch, on an 8.75 x 12 off-white heavy stock sheet shows Joplin in a modest long-sleeve top and floor-length skirt, with the top’s cuffs and skirt’s hem highlighted in beads, and Joplin sporting multiple bead necklaces. Sketch is notated

by Gravenites, “Janis for Memphis,” and “Soft knit fabric, painted designs (Sequined and/or Jewelled to sparkle) (could also be applique designs).” This design labeled “Memphis,” by Gravenites, was the basis for Joplin’s stage-worn costume from her appearance at the Stax/Volt Yuletide Thing at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, which was featured in the May 1969 issue of Circus magazine (a copy of which is included), and features color photos of Joplin in the final design. Second sketch on an 8.5 x 11 off-white sheet shows Joplin in a sequined top, jacket with large ruffled cuffs, and a pair of slacks with a long braided rope belt. Sheet also has a smaller sketch of either the back of her top or the back of a vest. Both sketches are accompanied by letters of authenticity from Gravenites (identifying the sketches in pencil), and both read, in part: “I, Linda Gravenites, designed outfits for Janis Joplin and was her roommate from 1967 until 6 months before her untimely death…I do attest that this drawing is an original design sketch of one of Janis Joplin’s outfits. I drew this sketch during the 1960s as a rough pattern for designing this particular outfit.” In fine condition, with tack holes to top edges and some scattered light toning. Originally a bit more on the conservative side, Gravenites became more adventurous in her designs, as can be seen in the second sketch, with the addition of sequins, ruffled cuffs, and excessive jewelry. Two splendid examples of Joplin’s progression towards becoming a counterculture fashion icon. RR Auction COA.…Starting Bid $300 84 1960s

291. New York Folk Festival.

handwritten set list for the Ten Years After’s performance at Woodstock, one page, 9 x 12, signed at the conclusion in ballpoint by both Alvin Lee and Leo Lyons.

Lee pens what he remembers playing, in full: “This is possibly what TYA played at Woodstock. Schoolgirl—Stopped & Returned. Slow Blues in C? Love Like a Man? Crying—Was good 20 mins long. Going Home—Last chord was out of tune, Choo Choo Moma?—It’s all a bit hazy now.” Below, Lyons makes a slight tweak, adding, “Maybe we started with ‘One of These Days.” In fine condition. Although this performance was a highlight of Woodstock, much of it—like Lee’s memories of the event—has been lost, as the sound recording partially failed and the film crew was only able to capture their final song. As Lee mentions, the band experienced multiple technical failures during the set, most notably their guitars falling out of tune due to the high humidity.

R. in NYC after Dee Dee Ramone quit the band.” Also included is a letter of authenticity from Ramones roadie Matthew Lolya, which states, in part: “I was a roadie for the Ramones from 1976–1989.

by Dee Dee Ramone during the mid to late 80s…The guitar was signed by Dee Dee, in my presence, at my 7th St. apartment.”

Finally, the guitar comes with a letter from the current owner who states he bought the guitar directly from Golden. Any stageused instrument from the iconic punk rock band is extremely scarce, even more so with such fantastic, iron-clad provenance.

This particular self-portrait, done in 1998 as a part of his Gray Series, was used on the cover for his ‘Dope Show’ single, which was nominated for a Grammy award in 1999. Manson’s artwork has been featured in galleries and special exhibits around the world and has become increasingly popular and highly desirable by contemporary art collectors.

The Auction is conducted under these Terms and Conditions of Sale and applicable state and local law. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Terms and Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed catalog.

Bidder/Bidders: 2. “Bidder” or “Bidders” shall mean the original Bidder of the property from 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.

3. The rights granted to Bidders under these Terms and 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. Any attempt to assign or transfer any such rights shall be absolutely void and unenforceable. No third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred on any Bidder by these Terms and Conditions of Sale.

5. Any person participating or registering for the Auction agrees to be bound by and accepts these Terms and Conditions of Sale.

6. All Bidders must meet Auctioneer’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.

7. 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.

8. By accepting the Terms and Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. If the Bidder is

a corporation, the officers, directors, and principals of the corporation hereby agree to personally and unconditionally guarantee payment as part of the corporation’s agreement to bid. 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 each principal, director and officer that they each personally and unconditionally guarantee any payment due RR Auction Credit: 9. In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with the Auctioneer must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply valid credit card information, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders who are not members of RRAuction.com should preregister before the close of the Auction to allow adequate time to contact references. Credit will be granted at the discretion of Auctioneer. Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social security number or the last four digits thereof so a credit check may be performed prior to Auctioneer’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by preapproval of credit based on a combination of criteria: RRAuction. com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the auction venue.

Buyer’s Premium: 10. The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 22.5% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots, with a 2.5% discount for those paying by cash, check or wire. RR Auction may accept a current and valid VISA or MasterCard, credit or debit cards and/or PayPal for payment of an invoice totaling $5,000.00 or less, under the express condition that any property purchased by credit or debit card shall not be refundable, returnable, or exchangeable, and that no credit to Buyer’s credit or debit card account will be issued under any circumstances. The last sentence constitutes RR Auction’s “official policy” regarding returns, refunds, and exchanges where credit or debit cards are used. 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 has fully cleared or credit or debit card funds have been fully obtained.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later.

Bidding: 11. By submitting a bid, whether online, in person, by mail, by phone, by facsimile or through an employee or agent, the Bidder acknowledges (i) receipt of the catalogue, (ii) that the Bidder has read the Terms and Conditions of Sale and the descriptions for the lots on which they have bid, and (iii) that they agree to adhere to these Terms and Conditions of Sale.

12. Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s), rather than the strict reliance as to what is represented in this Catalogue, online or elsewhere. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF VALUATION CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES. 13. 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 22.5% Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile and in person) will be present, and since a re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has

fallen and the Auctioneer has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

14. If the description of any lot in the catalogue is incorrect (e.g. gross cataloging error), the lot is returnable if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the sale date. NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED EXCEPT BY REASON OF LACK OF AUTHENTICITY, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE. 15. 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.

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

17. It is the Bidder’s responsibility and obligation to have the lots fully insured while in their possession. Bidder assumes any and all RISK OF LOSS once the lot(s) is in Bidder’s possession.

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

19. By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. If the Bidder is a corporation, the officers, directors, and principals of the corporation hereby agree to personally and unconditionally guarantee payment as part of the corporation’s agreement to bid. 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 each principal, director and officer that they each personally and unconditionally guarantee any payment due RR Auction.

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

21. If a dispute arises concerning ownership of a lot that has been bid upon during the course of the sale, RR Auction reserves the right to commence a statutory interpleader proceeding at the expense of the Consignor and successful Bidder and any other applicable party, and in such event shall be entitled to its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

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

Bidding Options: 23. Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to podium, fax, phone and mail bids) are treated similar to floor bids in that they must be on-increment. Any podium, fax, 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 your high bid.

24. When identical mail or FAX 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. Auctioneer is not responsible for executing mail bids or FAX bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is Auctioneer responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins.

25. In internet only Auctions, bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10%. 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 the auctioneer.

26. 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 the Auctioneer 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). Bidders participating in both live and online auctions acknowledge that the law provides for substantial penalties in the form of treble damages and attorneys’ fees and costs for those who violate these provisions. For live auctions the auctioneer will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between bidders. The auctioneer 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 our sale record is conclusive.

Payment: 27a.Subject to fulfillment of all of the Terms and Conditions of Sale set forth herein, at the close of the Auction, title to the offered lot will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by RR Auction, and such 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 we 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 thirteen (13) business days following its sale and if it is not so removed, (i) a handling charge of 1% of the total purchase price per month from the 13th day after the sale until its removal will be payable to RR Auction by the Bidder, with a minimum of 5% of the total purchase price for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale, and (ii) RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder.

27b. All purchases are subject to the Massachusetts 6.25% sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number. Exemption numbers from other states are accepted in Massachusetts if presented with a business card or letterhead. Dealers, museums, and other qualifying parties can apply for a Massachusetts exemption number prior to the auction by contacting the Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation at 100 Cambridge Street in Boston.

28. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. Auctioneer 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, Auctioneer’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (seller’s and buyer’s premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot.

29. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders, and are subject to all reporting requirements). All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in RR Auction’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. RR Auction reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten (10) business day hold, and ten (10) days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via Check, personal or corporate checks. All others will be subject to a hold of five (5) days, or more, for the funds to clear prior to releasing merchandise.

30. 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.

31. If any Auction invoice submitted by Auctioneer is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any invoice not paid when due will bear a one and one-half per cent (1.5%) late fee on the invoice amount. If the Auctioneer refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the buyer agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by Auctioneer. If Auctioneer 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.

32. If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with the Bidder will be in default and in addition to any and all other remedies available to RR Auction and the Consignor by law, including, without limitation, the right to hold the Bidder liable for the total purchase price, including all fees, charges and expenses more fully set forth herein, RR Auction, may (a) cancel the sale of that, or any other lots sold to the defaulting Bidder at the same or any other auction, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the Bidder, or (b) resell the purchased property, whether at public auction or by private sale, or (c) effect any combination thereof. In any case, the Bidder will be liable for any deficiency, any and all costs, handling charges, late charges, expenses of both sales, RR Auction’s commissions on both sales at our regular rates, legal fees and expenses, collection fees and incidental damages. RR Auction may apply any proceeds of sale then due or thereafter becoming due to the Bidder from RR Auction or any affiliated company, or any payment made by the Bidder to RR Auction or any affiliated company, where or not intended to reduce the Bidder’s obligations with respect to the unpaid lot or lots, to the deficiency and any other amounts due to RR Auction or any affiliated companies. In addition, a defaulting Bidder will be deemed to have granted and assigned to RR Auction a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of RR Auction’s owing to such Bidder in RR Auction’s possession, and RR Auction may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to RR Auction. Payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until RR Auction has collected good funds.

In the event the Bidder fails to pay any or all of the total purchase price for any lot and RR Auction elects to pay the Consignor any portion of the sale proceeds, the Bidder acknowledges that RR Auction shall have all of the rights of the Consignor to pursue the

Bidder for any amounts paid to the Consignor, whether at law, in equity, or under these Terms and Conditions of Sale.

33. Auctioneer shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the buyer to secure payment of the Auction invoice.

Auctioneer is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the buyer then held by the Auctioneer or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due the Auctioneer or affiliates from the buyer. With respect to these lien rights, Auctioneer 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 buyer waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against the Auctioneer and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice. If a Bidder owes Auctioneer or its affiliates on any account, Auctioneer and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in their possession.

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

35. Please send PayPal payments to FinanceDepartment@rrauction.com. All checks, cashiers checks or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company, LLC. Orders paid by cashier check, money order, wire, Pay Pal or credit card are shipped upon receipt.

Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges: 36. Bidder is liable for shipping and handling. Auctioneer 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 the credit card on file with Auctioneer. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all merchandise is stored at Auctioneer’s facilities in Amherst, New Hampshire. The purchases shall be shipped from that facility unless bidder makes arrangements to take possession at the facility.

37. Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified Customs declarations, to the Auctioneer for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States.

NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price together with its buyer’s premium and Auctioneer shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Buyers on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs.

Title: 38. On the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by RR Auction but fully subject to Buyer’s compliance with all of the terms of the Conditions of Sale and the Registration Form.

Rights Reserved: 39. RR Auction reserves the right to withdraw any lot before or at the time of the auction, and/or to postpone the auction of all or any lots or parts thereof, for any reason. RR Auction shall not be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone.

Conducting the Auction: 40. RR Auction reserves the right to postpone the auction sale or any session thereof for a reasonable period of time for any reason whatsoever, and no Bidder or prospective Bidder shall have any claim as a result thereof, including consequential damages.

41. RR Auction reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time, even after the hammer has fallen, until the Bidder has taken physical possession of the lot. No Consignor who has registered to bid at the sale (or at any other time unless otherwise provided in the consignment agreement), or any Bidder or prospective Bidder shall have a right to claim any consequential damages if a lot is withdrawn, even after the sale.

42. The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of a tie bid, the earliest bid received or recognized wins. In the event of any dispute between any Bidders at an Auction, Auctioneer may at his sole discretion reoffer the lot. Auctioneer’s decision and declaration of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon all Bidders. Bids properly offered, whether by floor Bidder or other means of bidding, may on occasion be missed or go unrecognized; in such cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may have been higher.

Auctioneer reserves the right after the hammer falls to accept bids and reopen bidding for bids placed through the Internet or otherwise.

43. Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer’s discretion. In the event that no bid meets or exceeds that opening amount, the lot shall pass as unsold.

44. All items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be broken unless decided by RR Auction. Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any lots from the Auction.

45. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach of a warranty, disputed ownership, failure to execute the reserve, auctioneer’s clerical error or omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for any other reason and in Auctioneer’s sole discretion.

46. Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or Server service outages, and Auctioneer periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes, during which Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outages occur, RR Auction may at our discretion extend bidding for the Auction. Bidders unable to place their Bids through the Internet are directed to contact Client Services at 1-603-732-4280.

47. The Auctioneer 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.

Internet Auction – Extended bidding & the 30 Minute Rule: 48. Any bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm. At that time, the Extended Bidding goes into effect. If you have not bid on a lot before 6 pm, you may not bid on that lot after 6 pm. Only those bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm. If you are the only bidder on a lot at 6 pm, that lot is awarded to you. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm will remain OPEN to ALL bidders until 7 pm or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot. 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. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm. If you are the high bidder, raising your maximum bid will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the auction at any time at its sole discretion.

Auctioneer’s Discretion: 49. RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments. The auctioneer has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between bidders or if the auctioneer has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful bidder in the event of a dispute between bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auction’s record of final sale shall be conclusive. The auctioneer also may reject any bid and withdraw the lot from sale if the auctioneer decides either that any opening bid is below the reserve of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale.

Reserves: 50. 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.

Off-Site Bidding: 51. Bidding by telephone, facsimile-transmission (fax-in), on-line, or absentee bidding (advance written bids submitted by mail) are offered solely as a convenience and permitted subject to advance arrangements, availability, and RR Auction’s approval which shall be exercised at RR Auction’s sole discretion. Neither RR Auction nor its agents or employees shall be held liable for the failure to execute bids or for errors relating to any transmission or execution thereof. In order to be considered for off-site bidding in any manner, Bidders must comply with all of these Conditions of Sale and the terms contained on the Registration Form.

RR Auction’ Remedies: 52. Failure of the Bidder/Buyer to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of default. In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder/Buyer liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder/Buyer’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Buyer as damages (the Bidder/Buyer 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/Buyer interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half per cent (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’ rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting buyer 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 buyer 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 buyer 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 buyer’s obligations to RR Auction, any property in RR Auction’ possession owned by such buyer. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Warranties: 53. RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders or Buyers, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided for 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 merchant ability 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 Buyer acquires rights in copyright or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights.

RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

54. All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Generally 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.

55. 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.

56. FIREARMS. Auctioneer 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. Important Notice: Many identical versions of props and costumes are created for film and television productions in the normal course of a production. RR Auction does not warrant or represent that the screen shots referenced are exact images of the offered item (unless specifically noted in the written description). Use of a screen shot does not constitute a warranty or representation of authenticity or provenance. There is not a right of return or refund based upon a claim arising out of or pertaining to any reference to a screen shot.

57. Lots and property are not returnable to RR Auction for any reason except under Buyer’s limited Remedies set forth in Sections 58 and 59 below and under the express terms and conditions of Section 58.

Limitation of Damages: 58. In the event that RR Auction is prevented for any reason from delivering any property to Buyer or Buyer is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of RR Auction, the liability, if any, of RR Auction, shall be limited to, and shall not exceed, the amount actually paid for the property by Buyer. In no event shall RR Auction be liable for incidental, special, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of profits, value of investment or opportunity cost.

Unauthorized Statements: 59. 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 Terms and Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on the Registration Form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied on by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction.

Buyer’s Remedies: 60. Under no circumstance will RR Auction incur liability to a Bidder in excess of the purchase price actually paid. The terms and conditions of sale herein described shall be enforced in accordance with, and governed by the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

61. This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Buyer in conformity with Sections 51-55 (“Warranties”) and 56 (“Limitation of Damages”) herein, and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Buyer by law.

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

62. All Lots sold by RR Auction are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. On any lot presented with a Certificate of Authenticity (“COA”) issued by RR Auction, that warranty insures only to the original Bidder (as shown in Auctioneer’s records) “Bidder”. Bidder may not transfer the rights afforded under the COA and it is null and void when Bidder transfers or attempts to transfer the lot. The COA warranty is valid from date of the auction in which Bidder was awarded the lot to five (5) years after its purchase. The COA warranty is valid as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage. The Bidder as well as their heirs, successors and assigns is also given an unconditional lifetime guaranteed that allows the present owner of any lot purchased through RR Auction the right to consign with RR Auction. When the lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (or its equivalent) from a third-party authentication provider, buyer has no right of return. On lots not accompanied by third-party authentication or under extremely limited circumstances not including authenticity (e.g. gross cataloging error), a Bidder who did not bid from the floor may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding a sale; such request must be made in

writing detailing the alleged gross error, and submission of the lot to Auctioneer must be pre-approved by Auctioneer. A Bidder must notify the appropriate department head in writing of the Bidder’s request within three (3) days of the non-floor bidder’s receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated for return must be received at the office of RR Auction within 35 days after Auction. AFTER THAT 35 DAY PERIOD, NO LOT MAY BE RETURNED FOR ANY REASONS. Lots returned must be in the same condition as when sold and must include any Certificate of Authenticity. If a bidder wishes to challenge the Letter of Authenticity within the five (5) year warranty period, Bidder must present with the claim, authoritative written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field. If Auctioneer concurs that the lot is not as represented, Bidder shall be refunded their purchase price. If the Auctioneer denies the claim, the Bidder may file the dispute with the American Arbitration Association with locale in Boston Massachusetts, Suffolk County, before a single selected Arbitrator selected by the American Arbitration Association. The American Arbitration Association arbitration shall be conducted under the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act and the Bidder consents to jurisdiction in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The challenge to Authenticity must be brought within one (1) year if the Auctioneer denies the claim. After one (1) year, the Bidder hereby releases and discharges RR Auction from any and all legal, equitable, administrative and/or other claims, counterclaims, demands, setoffs, defenses, accounts, suits, debts, dues, actions, causes of action, proceedings, arbitrations, damages, executions, judgments, findings, controversies and disputes, whether known or unknown or suspected or unsuspected, whether in law or equity, that the Bidder have or may have had against RR Auction arising from or relating to any claim whatsoever. Specifically, the COA provided by RR Auction, does not provide for incidental or consequential damages or other indirect damages. Any lot sold with a certificate of authenticity or other warranty from an entity other than Auctioneer is subject to such issuing entity’s rules and such conditions are the sole remedy afforded to Bidder. For information as to third party authentication warranties the bidder is directed to contact RR Auction.

RR Auction’ Additional Services: 63. For Buyers who do not remove purchased property from RR Auction’ premises, RR Auction, in its sole discretion and solely as a service and accommodation to Buyers, may arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded at the sole request, expense, and risk of Buyer. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for damage to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice or credit card, RR Auction will include an administration charge.

Headings: 64. Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret the substantive sections to which they refer.

Entire Agreement: 65. These Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement between the parties together with the terms and conditions contained in the Registration Form. They may not be amended, modified or superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties.

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

66. If any section of these Terms and Conditions of Sale or any term or provision of any section is held to be invalid, void, or un-

enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining sections or terms and provisions of a section shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

67. These Terms and Conditions of Sale and the auction shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, whether or not the auction is and these Terms and Conditions of Sale are fully performed in Boston Massachusetts, Suffolk County.

AUCTION GENERAL GUIDELINES Conditions of Sale: Before you bid, you must read the Terms and Conditions of Sale, immediately preceding these pages. They represent a contract between RR Auction and you, and they contain important terms and conditions such as jurisdiction, payment terms, warranties and remedies. The Conditions of Sale are controlling over these general guidelines in the event of any conflicts between their respective terms.

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. 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. Estimates 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).

Reserves: The reserve is the minimum price the seller is willing to accept and below which a lot will not be sold.

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.

Buyer’s Premium and Sales Tax: The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 22.5% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots, with a 2.5% discount for those paying by cash, check or wire. RR Auction may accept a current and valid VISA or MasterCard, credit or debit cards and/or PayPal for payment of an invoice totaling $5,000.00 or less, under the express condition that any property purchased by credit or debit card shall not be refundable, returnable, or exchangeable, and that no credit to Buyer’s credit or debit card account will be issued under any circumstances. All purchases are subject to the Massachusetts 6.25% sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number.

Bidding 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 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 at or above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

Maximum Bids – Internet Auction Only: To maximize your chance of winning, we strongly encourage the use of maximum bids. For example, assume an item you want currently has a high bid of $100. Your bid would then be $110 (10% over $100), and you could tell us, “I’d like a maximum bid of $242 for that item.” We will enter your bid at $110, and we will then bid for you until the lot reaches your maximum of $242. If competitive bids only reach $148, you would win the item at $163—10% over the highest previous bid. To prevent tie bids, all maximum bids should be made in proper increments. Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, non-incremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the under bidder’s bid.

Bid Increments: Bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10% or at the discretion of the auctioneer.

Checking Bids – Internet Auction Only: You can open, monitor, and/or raise bids as often as you wish.

However, all bidding is governed by the 30 Minute Rule and extended bidding. Extended bidding always goes into effect at 6 pm on the last day of the auction. At 7 pm, the extended bidding ends and the 30 Minute Rule goes into effect.

Callbacks – Internet Auction Only: RRAuction offers a callback service on auction night for any bidder who has the high bid on an item whose current bid is over $1,000 and who has placed a maximum bid. At your request, we will call you if your maximum bid is topped. We will need your correct telephone number(s) where you can be reached until the auction closes. Callbacks begin after 6 pm on auction night. You must request this service; it is not automatic. We make every effort to ensure that bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, we do not guarantee this service.

Bidding - Internet Auction: 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. If you have questions about this feature, please call RR Auction well in advance of the auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not and cannot be 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.

Bidding - Internet – Live Auction: During live Auctions, internet bids can be placed in real time through the following services: www.RRAuction.com, www.liveauctioneers.com, www.artfact.com and www.icollector.com. On some occasions beyond the control of RR Auction, the bid software or the Internet itself may not physically keep up with the pace of the auction. In order to help avoid disappointment, RR Auction recommends placing a realistic absentee bid now. Since Artfact and iCollector (hereinfafter referred to as “Third Party sites”) bids are not shown to RR Auction until RR Auction opens the lot on the floor, RR Auction treats those bids the same as floor or telephone bids.

In most cases, however, the floor and/or telephone responds before the Third Party sites bid is presented, due to Live Internet bid software or Internet lag time, so for consistency it is RR Auction’ policy that floor bids and telephone bids are always considered first over Third Party sites bids with floor bids being considered before telephone bids. Also please note that all RR Auction lots purchased through the Third Party sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium. RR Auction strongly urges the bidder to resolve any questions about these policies or their implementation PRIOR TO BIDDING. Successful Bids: The fall of the auctioneer’s hammer indicates the final bid. RR Auction will record the paddle number of the buyer. If your salesroom or absentee bid is successful, you will be notified after the sale by mailed or emailed invoice.

Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the consignor. The Auctioneer 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.

After the Auction - Payment: You are expected to pay for your purchases in full within thirteen (13) calendar days of the auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. (See Generally “Payment” §27 through 35 of the Term and Conditions of Sale).

Shipping: After payment has been made in full, RR Auction may, as a service to buyers, arrange to have property packed, insured and shipped at your request and expense. For shipping information, please contact RR Auction at (603) 732-4280. In circumstances in which RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice or credit card, we will also include an administration charge. Packages shipped internationally will have full value declared on shipping form. (See Generally “Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges” §36 and 37 of the Term and Conditions of Sale).

At our discretion, some orders of high value may be sent via overnight or two-day service. Insurance is added to each invoice, with a minimum of $2 for the first $200 of value and 55¢ per $100 of value over $200. Oversized orders will have additional postage added to their invoices. Within the United States, rates for shipping and handling only are: $0–$100..........................................$10 $101–$500.......................................$15 $501–$1,000....................................$20 $1,001–$3,000.................................$35 $3,001–$10,000...............................$45 Over $10,000.................................$100

that has as many as several flaws, which are described in detail; very fine describes an item whose condition and appearance may be regarded as flawless and superior in every respect. Most of the items we offer are in fine condition, meaning that there are no serious flaws. While we make every effort to describe flaws that materially affect appearance and value, we generally do not specify minor or routine flaws, such as (but not limited to) pencil or secretarial notations, mailing folds to letters, normal aging to paper, or tiny bends or creases from normal handling. We encourage prospective bidders to examine the image(s) of each item closely and to contact us with specific inquiries regarding condition.

Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and consignors to effectuate a nonsale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize the Auctioneer’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, Auctioneer 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.
