“With love, from the Beatles”— fully signed A Hard Day’s Night album signed by the Beatles shortly after the record’s release in the summer of 1964

9001. Beatles Signed Album - A Hard Day’s Night (Obtained Late Summer of 1964). A Hard Day’s Night album by the Beatles (Parlophone, mono, PMC 1230), signed and inscribed on the back cover in black ballpoint, “To the Johnson Sisters with love, from the Beatles, Paul McCartney, xxx” and “Ringo Starr, xxx,” and in green felt tip, “George Harrison” and “John Lennon,” who draws an arrow to his image. In very good to fine condition, with light creasing, soiling, edge wear, an area of surface loss to the left edge of the front cover, and some slight smudging to Lennon’s last name and the “G” in “George.” The record is not included. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from a prior owner, who attests that the autographs were obtained a reporter who covered the band in the summer and fall of 1964, and by a certificate of authenticity from Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, who states that the signatures “date from July/August of 1964, shortly after the LP was released.”

The Beatles’ film and album, A Hard Day’s Night, was released in theaters and music stores across the UK on July 10, 1964, some four days after the movie made its royal world premiere at London’s Pavilion Theatre on July 6, 1964. In addition to the movie’s four stars, the highly anticipated premiere was attended by the band’s wives, the group’s manager, Brian Epstein, and a host of special guests that included the Rolling Stones, Princess Margaret, and Lord Snowdon. The event was held in aid of the Royal Variety Club and Dockland Settlements charities, with the most expensive tickets costing 15 gns (around £15.75, just under one week’s average wage in 1964). The ticket’s high price and the limited capacity of the Pavilion Theatre kept many a Beatles fan from attending, but that didn’t quell the interest as nearby Piccadilly Circus closed due to 12,000 Beatles fans packing the area for a chance to glimpse their idols. After the screening, the Beatles and many guests headed to the Dorchester Hotel for a supper party to celebrate the launch of the film, which is where these signatures were obtained.

These signatures are found on the reverse of a rare original Albert Marrion photograph of The Beatles as taken by him on December 10, 1961…The photograph was signed shortly after it was printed for then-NEMS Enterprises employee Barbara McCoy, who later gave it to a friend. This is an extremely rare photograph to have signed by The Beatles, and an original Albert Marion print from 1961 has significant value even unsigned.” Starting Bid $1000

The band recorded Please Please Me in one day at EMI Studios on February 11, 1963, and the album was released a month later on March 22, 1963.

This was to be the Beatles’ only performance in Abergavenny. They were booked by local promoter Eddie Tattersall, who had agreed a fee of £250 with Brian Epstein. The concert was advertised as 7:30 pm to 11:45 pm, but the Beatles were late taking the stage because of John Lennon’s appearance on Juke Box Jury earlier in the day, which had wrapped recording at London’s BBC Studios at 9:15 pm. Lennon was then rushed to Battersea Helipad from where he took a chartered helicopter flight to Wales, landing at Abergavenny’s Pen-y-pound football ground at 9:50. He then drove straight to the Town Hall to join the rest of the Beatles, who had arrived earlier in the day and had been invited to a civic reception given by the Mayor and Mayoress of Abergavenny, Councilor and Mrs. J. F. Thurston. The Beatles took to the stage at 10:30 pm, where they performed in front of around 600 fans. After the concert, all four Beatles signed autographs that were sold to fans for three pence each, with proceeds going to the local branch of the Freedom From Hunger Campaign. Starting Bid $1000

9008. Beatles Signed 1962 Parlophone Promo Card

- The First to Feature Ringo Starr.

Parlophone Records produced a small number of promotional photo cards in two formats—a horizontal version and a vertical one, with pictures shot by famed Beatles photographer Dezo

Hoffmann while the band was in the studio recording their first single, ‘Love Me Do.’ Almost all of these cards were signed on the reverse due to the lack of signing space on the front.

Taken on September 4, 1962, the image shows the group in their final incarnation at the very beginning of their storied career, and the first promo card with new drummer Ringo. Interestingly, George Harrison has a black eye in the photograph, the result of an argument with a Beatles fan several days before the recording session. The recent firing of drummer Pete Best had rankled a large contingent of Beatles fans, one of whom showed his displeasure by punching Harrison in the face before a concert at the Cavern Club on August 19, 1962.

and were about to come out. He thrust a hotel postcard into our hands and said: ‘Quick…get their autographs.’

We patiently waited in the hallway for a few minutes and when the doors opened all 4 Beatles and their wives and manager walked out. It was just my 10-year-old sister and me (18) in the hall. It had been less than a year that the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan TV show in the US. I was surprised how short and thin they were. TV is so deceptive. John was actually my height. We chatted for a while…they commented how interesting it was that we came all the way from America to get their autographs.” Starting Bid $1000

“Somnambulant Adventure, Greatest Mistake in Record History”—extremely rare, limited edition set of granite tiles presented to Capitol Records President Alan Livingston to commemorate the controversial ‘butcher cover’ for the Beatles album Yesterday and Today

9023. Beatles: Capitol Records President Alan W. Livingston’s Granite ‘Butcher Cover / Yesterday and Today’ Presentation Tiles from EMI Limited (Ltd. Ed. #1/10) - “Somnambulant Adventure, Greatest Mistake in Record History”. Limited edition pair of granite tiles presented to Capitol Records President Alan W. Livingston by EMI Limited in November 1966, specially issued to commemorate the release of the Beatles’ compilation album Yesterday and Today and the ensuing ‘butcher cover’ controversy that resulted in Capitol Records ordering a recall of all distributed records. The granite tiles, individually weighing 3.6 pounds and measuring 7˝ x 7˝ x .75˝, feature affixed bronze-tone plaques to the front, with the polished stone reverse bearing laser-etched with beautiful images of the album’s two front cover designs—trunk-style and butcher-style—with Livingston’s initials, “A.W.L.,” and the set’s edition number, “01/10,” engraved neatly along the edges.

The plaque on the ‘trunk’ tile is engraved with the “Beatles” band name and the company logos of Capitol Records and EMI, and is presented to “Alan W. Livingston.” The ‘butcher’ plaque is headed, “Somnambulant Adventure, Greatest Mistake in Record History,” and then lists the 10 recipients of this rare tile set: Livingston (1), photographer Robert Whitaker (2), EMI Chairman Joseph Lockwood (3), Paul McCartney (4), John Lennon (5), Ringo Starr (6), George Harrison (7), George Martin (8), Brian Epstein (9), and Capitol Records (10). The lower portion is marked: “Presented by EMI Limited Nov. 1966.” The tiles include their original metal display stands and presentation drawstring bags, which are presented to “A. W. L., President Capitol Records.” The consignor notes that the tiles were gifted by Livingston’s wife, actress Nancy Olson, to a retired airline pilot in 1991. In overall fine condition, with holes to the drawstring bags.

In early 1966, photographer Robert Whitaker had the Beatles in studio for a conceptual art piece entitled ‘Somnambulant Adventure.’ For the shoot, Whitaker took a series of pictures of the group dressed in butcher smocks and draped with pieces of meat and body parts from plastic baby dolls. Per John Lennon, the idea was ‘inspired by our boredom and resentment at having to do another photo session and another Beatles thing. We were sick to death of it. Bob was into Dali and making surreal pictures.’

Although not originally intended as an album cover, the Beatles submitted photographs from the session for their promotional materials. According to a 2002 interview published in Mojo magazine, former Capitol President Alan W. Livingston stated that it was Paul McCartney who pushed strongly for the photo’s inclusion as the album cover, and that McCartney reportedly described it as ‘our comment on the [Vietnam] war.’ Within days of releasing this miscellany of previous hits, Capitol recalled all copies in response to retailers’ negative reactions to the original macabre cover image. The recalled copies were ‘retrofitted’ with a new pictorial flat, pasted over the first, featuring an innocuous image of the boys posed around a steamer trunk; these have frequently been peeled away by collectors to reveal the infamous butcher image below.

The Beatles released Help! on August 6, 1965, almost exactly a year before the release of Revolver. The album, their fifth, also served as the soundtrack to their film of the same name, which was released in the UK a week earlier on July 29, 1965. Seven of the fourteen songs, including the singles ‘Help!’ and ‘Ticket to Ride,’ appeared in the film and take up the first side of the vinyl album, with the second side featuring the track ‘Yesterday,’ which is widely credited as the most-covered song ever written. Unsurprisingly, the album was an immediate chart-topping hit around the world. Most importantly, however, was its nomination in the category of Album of the Year at the 1966 Grammy Awards, marking the first time that a rock band had been recognized in this category.

9029. Beatles Rare Original Acetate for ‘Eleanor Rigby’. Rare 7-inch Northern Songs Limited acetate for the classic 1966 Beatles song ‘Eleanor Rigby,’ which was written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon and recorded at the EMI Recording Studio in London on April 28–29 and June 6, 1966. The record retains its original Dick James Music Limited ‘Demo Disc’ label, which bears typed captions: “Eleanor Rigby, The Beatles.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.

Released as the B-side to the single ‘Yellow Submarine,’ the song ‘Eleanor Rigby’ was featured as the second track on the Beatles’ seventh studio album, Revolver, widely considered one of the greatest albums of all time. The track itself remains one of the band’s most beloved songs, with The Who’s Pete Townshend quoted as saying: ‘They are basically my main source of inspiration – and everyone else’s for that matter. I think ‘Eleanor Rigby’ was a very important musical move forward. It certainly inspired me to write and listen to things in that vein.’

Unlike most Beatles hits, ‘Eleanor Rigby’ doesn’t employ a standard pop backing; none of the Beatles played instruments on the track, although Lennon and Harrison did contribute harmony vocals. Like the earlier song ‘Yesterday,’ ‘Eleanor Rigby’ used a classical string ensemble – in this case, an octet of studio musicians, comprising four violins, two violas, and two cellos, all performing a score composed by George Martin. The octet was recorded on April 28, 1966, in Studio 2 at EMI Studios, and the track was completed in Studio 3 on April 29 and June 6th, with Take 15 selected as the master. On June 6th, the final overdub was McCartney’s addition of the ‘Ah, look at all the lonely people’ refrain over the song’s final chorus. Starting Bid $300

9019. Beatles: Original ‘Penny Lane’ Street Sign from Liverpool, England. Official painted “PENNY LANE, L18” cast iron street sign commissioned by the city of Liverpool, England. The white street sign, measuring 16˝ x 9˝ x .5˝ and weighing 15 pounds, features black text, “PENNY LANE,” and a red postal code, “L18,” set within a black border. The sign bears four mounting holes and the reverse is engraved: “LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND.” In very fine condition.

Situated south off the A562 road in the Mossley Hill suburb of Liverpool, England, the street Penny Lane has become synonymous with the legendary rock band the Beatles, who famously used the name as the title of a 1967 hit song released in conjunction with the single ‘Strawberry Fields Forever.’ Written primarily by Paul McCartney, the song serves as a tribute to the band’s upbringing in the Liverpool area and features lyrics related to the various local people and places. The popularity of the song resulted in the street sign being stolen or vandalized on numerous occasions, which ultimately led Liverpool city officials to no longer commission the sign for manufacture. This unused example was one of an undisclosed number that was recovered from the foundry. Starting Bid $200

“He was a shining person”—an exceptionally rare full-length ‘couple’ sketch by John Lennon, presented to a Buddhist monk in the summer of 1979 during his final trip to Japan

Signed on the blank page opposite Plate 97 in black felt tip, “John Lennon, 77” and “Yoko Ono,” with the former adding a wonderful full-length sketch of the couple and the latter writing her husband’s name in Japanese characters to the right side. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, who writes: “While facial caricatures of the Lennons drawn by John from this period are fairly common – full body caricatures are not. The scarcity of full-length caricatures of John and Yoko from any period cannot be understated, and as this is one of very few, it is extremely desirable.”

Also accompanying the book is a laminated copy of an article from the December 8, 1983, issue of the Japanese newspaper, the Kyoto Shimbun, which contains an image of the book and its internal sketch being held by its original recipient, a young Buddhist monk named Shuji Okumura. The article features provenance of the signed sketch and reads, in part (translated): “The Buddhist monk, Shuji Okumura (29 years old, at Nyoraiji Temple, Omiya-nishi-iru, Rokkaku-dori, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto), works in the finance division of Chion-in, the Head Temple of Jodo Shu of Buddhism…Okumura explained that he met Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono in the early summer of 1979, a year before Lennon’s death. Okumura was working at the general information office in Chion-in and noticed Yoko among the visitors. He remembered her face from a special television program featuring the Beatles. Then he asked the couple if he could have Lennon’s signature as a memento. Maybe because it was a request from a monk, Lennon accepted. Okumura handed him a Western book and Lennon quickly drew with a marker a self-portrait of him and his wife on one of the pages and signed it. Yoko added ‘John Lennon’ in Chinese characters ????…

In return, Okumura, a graduate of Bukkyo University who enjoys painting, gave Lennon a wood-block print of the Buddha that he drew himself as well as a commemorative red-ink stamp. Just before the third anniversary of Lennon’s death, Okumura, in his traditional monk’s robe, honored the memory of Lennon’s character: ‘As I recall, the couple visited sometime in May or June. Mr. Lennon seemed to be a gentle person and very much devoted to Yoko. I see many celebrities visit this place, but he was a shining person among them.’” Starting Bid $2500

It was from the estate of Paul Novak, aka Charles Krauser. Paul, who was Mr. Baltimore of 1947, became Mae West’s longtime lover and companion…and he regarded Joe as his best friend. Paul and Joe were recruited by Mae’s friend George Eiferman, a Mr. America and Mr. Universe, to appear in a loincloth-clad bodybuilder chorus line in her famous 1950s nightclub act. Mae’s closest confidante, the late Dolly Dempsey, told me that John Lennon had sent her the autographed picture inscribed to her in return for giving the Beatles the right to use her likeness on the cover of their ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Band.’ I helped Joe in settling Paul’s estate, and he gave me the photo and other items in appreciation.”

Unlike other celebrities thrilled to adorn the cover of the Beatles’ forthcoming eighth studio album, West initially balked at the honor, matter-of-factly responding: ‘What would I be doing in a lonely hearts club band?’ The Golden Age actress only relented after all four Beatles wrote her letters imploring her to change her mind. A heartwarming family photograph augmented furthermore by its legendary recipient, one of the 58 faces found on the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band cover. Starting Bid $1000

Vintage glossy 3.5 x 3.5 snapshot photo of a television screen showing images of John Lennon and Yoko Ono during an interview, signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint, “John Lennon” and “Yoko Ono,” with Lennon adding small facial sketches of himself and his wife.

In very good to fine condition, with reduced ink flow to Lennon’s signature and sketches, and a diagonal crease and tape stains to the lower half. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.

On March 20, 1969, John Lennon and Yoko Ono married in Gibraltar and then traveled to Paris to honeymoon for a few days. The couple then continued on to Amsterdam in Lennon’s white Rolls-Royce to set up residency on the ninth floor of the Amsterdam Hilton hotel in room 902, the Presidential Suite, and to host the now-famous ‘Bed-In For Peace’ protest. These historic events would be immortalized by the Beatles in their No. 1 Single ‘The Ballad of John and Yoko,’ which contained the lyrics: ‘Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton / Talking in our beds for a week / The newspapers said, ‘Say what you doing in bed?’ / I said, ‘We’re only trying to get us some peace.’

After learning about the event, a 16-year-old Dutch Beatles fan named Constance Vrijdaghs decided to head straight to the Amsterdam Hilton hotel on the afternoon of March 26, 1969.

Upon her arrival, she struck up a conversation with two girls and a boy who were peering up at the ‘Hair Peace’ and ‘Bed Peace’ signs being displayed in the windows of John and Yoko’s suite. Constance then asked if they had been upstairs, to which they replied ‘No.’

Undeterred, Constance decided she would try to meet her idol. Once inside the hotel, Constance informed the doorman that she was heading to the bar for a coffee and, as soon as she passed him, she ran for the doors of the elevator, jumped in and pressed the ninth floor. Unfortunately for Constance, the doors did not close quickly enough, and she was apprehended by a porter. Constance quickly pulled out her Dutch Beatles Fan Club membership card and stated, ‘I am from the Dutch Beatles Fan Club, and I would like to congratulate John and Yoko on their marriage, and I am here to interview them.’ The porter, however, was skeptical and removed her from the elevator. Constance was then asked to wait in the lobby while the porter made a call to Lennon’s suite.

Approximately 20 minutes later, two men from Bovema, the Beatles’ record company in Holland, came and met Constance and escorted her up to room 902 on the ninth floor. She was told she would be allowed five minutes inside the room. Upon her arrival, the door opened, and she was greeted by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who were sitting on a bed in their pajamas. Constance congratulated the couple on their recent marriage, and then John ushered her over to sit on the edge of the bed. While chatting with the couple, Constance requested that they sign the offered photograph. Starting Bid $1000

Inspired by a magazine headline that producer George Martin had shown to Lennon, the title ‘Happiness Is a Warm Gun’ ultimately derives from ‘Happiness is a warm puppy,’ an adage from Charles Schulz’s Peanuts comics that was frequently riffed on during the 1960s. The song was featured on the Beatles’ White Album and is said to have been Paul McCartney and George Harrison’s favorite song from the record. The song’s progressive structure and lyrical suggestions of violence and sex made it unpopular for airwaves, and it was subsequently banned by the BBC. Starting Bid $500

In full: “It’s impossible to sum up in a short letter how & why I love John, but here are a few thoughts. I love him because…. he was a mate through our teenage years in Liverpool, he was the guy I sat across from as we worked out how to write songs, he was the man I admired as we evolved through the madness of fame, fortune, and ‘fabness,’ and he was, and still is, the heroic figure whose wit and wisdom, with a little help from his friends, shaped the thoughts and lives of millions of people. And so much more.” In fine condition, with an unobtrusive light diagonal crease to the lower left edge.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from James Hyman, founder of HYMAG, in part: “This letter was discovered amongst several (vast) amounts of materials (i.e. magazines, photo archive, internal correspondence and related ephemera) acquired by HYMAG (previously Hyman Archive) from Bauer Media during the period of March–June 2017, when

Paul McCartney and John Lennon shared one of the most iconic friendships and songwriting partnerships in music history. Meeting as teenagers in Liverpool, they bonded over a love of rock and roll and began writing songs together, forming the creative heart of The Beatles. Their contrasting styles—Lennon’s edgy introspection and McCartney’s melodic optimism—complemented each other, producing a catalog of timeless classics. Though their friendship faced tensions over the years, their collaboration was built on mutual respect and a deep, transformative creative synergy that reshaped popular music forever.

This letter, perhaps the only one known in which McCartney directly describes his feelings about Lennon, stands as a testament to that partnership and is truly a treasure of pop culture history. Further, he makes a deliberate reference to the classic Beatles song ‘With a Little Help from My Friends’—a marvelous ‘Easter egg’ for the Beatles enthusiast. Starting Bid $10,000

1964 Important Early Work: Original Abstract Drawing from Neuwirth

9194. Bob Neuwirth Original Abstract Artwork. Untitled Circa 1964 Ink on paper 8 1/2 x 11 inches

Unsigned original abstract artwork accomplished by Bob Neuwirth on an off-white 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of notebook paper. Neuwirth fills the page with a bold black-and-white composition replete with organic shapes, symbols, and figures that interlock and overlap—the imagery includes abstract animal and humanoid outlines, suggesting a dreamlike narrative or a primitive symbolic language. The high-contrast style and fluid linework evoke a sense of energetic movement and spontaneity, fusing surrealism and tribal art. In fine condition. In an article entitled ‘Variations on a Theme: The Improvisational Art of Bob Neuwirth’ in Whitehot Magazine, Eric La

Prade notes: ‘Neuwirth’s first love was always painting: he painted steadily throughout his lifetime, experimenting with different artistic styles, using different media and producing a substantial body of work. Yet, his musical career overshadowed his painting interests; hence, his work as a painter is hardly known outside of the circle of friends and/or the collectors who bought his pictures…In Boston, Neuwirth had a painting studio on the top floor of an old warehouse, probably above the Unicorn Coffeehouse at 825 Boylston Street. Neuwirth’s styles at that time featured black and white stylized figures in a flat plane—stylistically reminiscent of Picasso’s monumental and hugely influential 1937 painting, Guernica—as well as figurative expressionist works.’ The majority of auction proceeds from the Neuwirth archives will support the completion of ‘Untitled: Bob Neuwirth Project’ documentary, exploring the life of music and art creative catalyst, Bob Neuwirth.

Magnificent Martin D-41 played on stage during the Rolling Thunder Revue— a gift from Bob Dylan to Bob Neuwirth

9196. Bob Neuwirth’s 1975 Martin D-41 Acoustic Guitar - Gifted by Bob Dylan and Used on the Rolling Thunder Revue. In the 2024 Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, Bobby Neuwirth, played by Will Harrison, encounters Bob Dylan, played by Timothée Chalamet, in an elevator as they leave a fancy Harold Leventhal party. Dylan says: ‘Two hundred people in that room and each one wants me to be somebody else. They should just fuck off and let me be.’ Neuwirth says: ‘They should fuck off and let you be what?’ Dylan replies: ‘I don’t know. Whatever it is they don’t want me to be.’ Neuwirth cracks: ‘Y’know, I’m not a horse, so... I don’t like carrying other people’s weight.’

The two become instant friends. The film highlights Bobby Neuwirth as a close confidant and collaborator to Bob Dylan during his rebellious early electric years. Neuwirth is both a grounding presence and creative instigator, encouraging Dylan’s bold transition while helping navigate the chaotic energy of fame and change. Just as portrayed in the movie, their real-life relationship was one of mutual respect and artistic synergy, with Neuwirth often acting as a bridge between Dylan and the tumultuous world around him. This guitar, purchased for Neuwirth by Dylan as part of a ‘partnered’ pair of Martin D-41s before the Rolling Thunder Revue, is symbolic of that enduring friendship.

top of the sound hole. When Dylan asked Bobby which he preferred, Bobby immediately advised him to buy the sunburst. Dylan bought both the sunburst and the plain top and handed the sunburst to Bobby, saying ‘I’d like to give this to you, we’ll use it on the Rolling Thunder Tour.’”

Neuwirth indeed played it frequently on stage while touring with the Rolling Thunder Revue, as captured in photographs by Ken Regan and Joel Bernstein. The guitar is also seen in the ‘Hard Rain’ concert film and in documentary footage released as part of ‘Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese.’ The best shots of Neuwirth playing this guitar may be in concert footage from ‘Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here with You,’ recorded at the Montreal Forum on December 4, 1975. According to guitar tech Arthur Rosato, who managed the 36 guitars brought on the tour, it is likely that Bob Dylan played this Martin: “In those days if a guitar was laying around anyone could pick it up and play. Being that Bob and Bobby were tighter than most they probably swapped guitars on numerous occasions.”

Accompanied by its brown hardshell travel case, with remnants of dozens of luggage tags tied to the handle; the case is decorated with a few luggage labels, stickers from the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, “JIMMY’Z,” and Mountain Stage, and guest passes for Willie Nelson’s 1987 tour and “Art Project ‘92.”

Bob Neuwirth’s personally-owned and -played 1975 Martin D-41 acoustic guitar, serial no. 360767, featuring a rare ‘shade top’ sunburst finish and stunning abalone inlay around the soundhole and top, as well as hexagonal inlay fret markers. Per guitar expert Fredric H. Walecki: “This was one the most expensive guitars made by the Martin company, elegantly detailed with abalone heart marquetry and very unusual sunburst finish. Bobby Neuwirth accompanied Bob Dylan into Manny’s Music and Dylan chose two D-41 guitars. While looking at and playing these instruments Dylan asked Bobby’s opinion as to which one he liked best. One of the D-41 Martin’s had the normal plain top and the other, a sunburst top which really emphasized the mother of pearl binding along the edges and

Bob Neuwirth was a key figure in Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue, serving as a musician, collaborator, and behind-thescenes organizer. A longtime friend of Dylan, Neuwirth put together the band and helped shape the freewheeling, theatrical nature of the 1975-76 tour. He performed onstage, often alongside Joan Baez and Roger McGuinn, and contributed to the spontaneous, carnival-like atmosphere. (The backdrops painted for the stage were created by Neuwirth and Dylan together) His influence extended beyond music, as he helped bring together the eclectic mix of artists, poets, and performers that defined the revue’s legendary status.

Bob Neuwirth’s well-traveled 1961 Gibson Hummingbird, received as a gift in the year he met Bob Dylan

9195. Bob Neuwirth’s 1961 Gibson Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar. Bob Neuwirth’s personally-owned and -played 1961 Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar, serial no. 30697, featuring the trademark Hummingbird cherryburst finish and pickguard engraved with a hummingbird-butterfly trumpet-flower motif. The original inner label reads: “Style: Guitar, Gibson Hummingbird Number 30697 is hereby guaranteed against faulty workmanship and materials. Gibson, Inc., Kalamazoo, Michigan, U.S.A.” Stamped with matching serial “30697” on the back of the headstock. Accompanied by its well-worn hardshell travel case, with remnants of dozens of travel tags tied to the handle; the edges of the case have been repaired with duct tape, and it has been decorated with stickers for the Cornell Hurd Band, KLBJ 93.7 FM, and Northwest Orient Airlines.

This guitar was a gift to Neuwirth in about 1961 by Betty Stoneman, a known figure in the Boston folk music scene. During this period, Neuwirth had dropped out of (School of Museum of Fine Arts), Tufts University, briefly relocated to Paris, took up (banjo and )the harmonica, and returned to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he became engrossed in the folk revival. Most importantly, it was in 1961 that he met then-unknown Bob Dylan.

The New York Times reports: “Mr. Neuwirth said he first encountered Mr. Dylan at the Indian Neck Folk Festival in Connecticut in 1961. Mr. Dylan was still largely unknown then, but, Mr. Neuwirth said years later, he caught his eye ‘because he was the only other guy with a harmonica holder around his neck.’ The two hit it off, and Mr. Neuwirth became a central figure in the circle that coalesced around Mr. Dylan as his fame grew. When Mr. Dylan held court at the Kettle of Fish bar in Greenwich Village in the early 1960s, Mr. Neuwirth was there. When Mr. Dylan toured England in 1965, Mr. Neuwirth went along. A decade later, when Mr. Dylan embarked on his Rolling Thunder Revue tour, Mr. Neuwirth was instrumental in putting the band together.”

One would imagine that this Gibson Hummingbird—clearly well-traveled and played often—went along for the ride. Condition Report by Chris Lamy aviable online at www. RRAuction.com

Jimi Hendrix

Bronze Chinese Buddha dating to the Ming Dynasty, formerly owned and displayed by Jimi Hendrix in his Greenwich Village apartment

9225. Jimi Hendrix’s Ming Dynasty Chinese Buddha. Chinese bronze Buddha from the Ming Dynasty, personally owned and displayed by Jimi Hendrix in his New York apartment on West 12th Street in 1969 and 1970. Identified as a Chinese bronze figure of Budai from the later Ming period (1368-1644), the antique statuette measures approximately 8.75˝ x 7˝ x 5.5˝ and weighs 5.75 lbs. The Buddha was acquired directly from Stella Benabou Douglas, one of Hendrix’s closest friends during the last years of his life. The former wife of record producer and Hendrix archivist Alan Douglas, she appeared in the 1973 documentary A Film About Jimi Hendrix. In fine condition, with a vertical crack to back side, presumably done during original casting process. Accompaniments include:

A DVD containing a 15-minute video interview with Stella Benabou Douglas, about her close relationship with Jimi Hendrix and the history of his bronze Buddha; a signed letter of provenance from Alan Douglas, dated March 10, 1997, in part: “This letter is to certify that a Bronze Buddha…I personally purchased for Jimi Hendrix for his 27th birthday…[was] kept in his New York apartment until the time of his death”; and a lengthy letter of authenticity from Jeff Gold of Recordmecca, in part: “When [Stella] first met Hendrix, he was living in a basement room in the apartment of his manager…and Stella told him he needed his own apartment. A few days later she found one for him, on West 12th Street, and soon after began to decorate it for him…She was out with Jimi and her then husband Alan when Jimi saw the Buddha in a shop. ‘Jimi picked it up and caressed his stomach.’ It was nearing Hendrix’s birthday, and Alan bought it for him as a birthday gift. ‘It was such a big thing for Jimi; I don’t think he ever had something old and precious like this. He became very attached to it.’

‘One time he asked me why Buddha’s have such a big stomach. I told him it was because they have the whole universe in it. He used to tell other people that…He showed it to people and explained the big stomach story to people, which for him was a bit of a mystery. Of course he wasn’t a Buddhist in any way. He was absolutely colorblind, religion blind, never got involved in politics in any way, contrary to what some people have said.’

Douglas was with Hendrix at a party in London on the night he died. She describes how, upon her return to New York, Hendrix manager Michael Jeffery asked her and Alan Douglas to accompany him to open Jimi’s apartment for the first time. ‘Of course it was emotional. We saw all those things. My emotions were that I had gotten all these things and decorated the place.’ Stella describes how Jeffery said to Alan ‘Why don’t you take the Buddha’—as Alan had given it to Jimi.” Alan did indeed take the Buddha, which he then, after a time, gave to his wife, Stella, who kept the statuette in safe keeping for over 45 years. An astounding, museum-quality artifact once owned and treasured by one of rock history’s most ephemeral and influential stars. Starting Bid $1000

The bands we saw were Pink Floyd who sang See Emily Play, they were just up and coming then, Amen Corner, The Nice, and Jimi Hendrix – this was the band that we really wanted to see. We had a great night and after the concert, in those days there was no security at the gigs, we decided that we walk up the side of the Palace to see where the street led to, there was a door at the end which we knocked on and it was opened by the members of The Nice. Jimi Hendrix sat on a chair playing guitar. The band members signed their autographs for us on the flyers which were on a table in the dressing room and then handed it to Jimi to sign for us. They were all very nice to us, Jimi just said hi and carried on playing guitar, he seemed like a very shy person.” Starting Bid $1000

The Jimi Hendrix Experience played two shows at Whitla Hall, Queen’s College, Belfast, Northern Ireland, as part of the college’s ‘Festival ‘67’ program on November 27, 1967—the 25th birthday of Jimi Hendrix himself. He received a cake from the festival’s organizers prior to the show, then proceeded to tear into explosive renditions of ‘Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,’ ‘Fire,’ ‘Purple Haze,’ ‘Hey Joe,’ ‘Foxy Lady,’ and ‘Wild Thing.’ In the Belfast Telegraph, George Hamilton reported: ‘The noise being blasted out at the Whitla Hall last night during the Jimi Hendrix concert was the loudest I have ever heard. It was so bad you could feel your insides—and even your chair—resonating…in tune, naturally…[the group were] fine on record, and just as good at reproducing a similar sound ‘live’ but the enormous amplification swamped everything.’ It was the only time the Jimi Hendrix Experience played in Ireland.

Radio station KSJO reported that acts on the bill—Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, in particular—were not going to appear and were booked elsewhere.

Grant’s plan backfired, with the promoter retaliating and paying the Jimi Hendrix Experience $30,000—an unheard of amount of money at the time, and whose performance at the festival was spectacular.

The consignor notes that the letter originates from the collection of Doreen Pettifer, the Surrey-based teenager who would go on to set up The Rolling Stones Fan Club and become the group’s first-ever fan club secretary after meeting them at the Wooden Bridge Jazz Club in Surrey, England, on March 29, 1963. Pettifer was so impressed by the Stones’ performance that she approached Mick Jagger and mentioned that she could put the group in touch with the disc jockey David Jacobs and get them an audition to be on television. Pettifer had previously been on the panel of Juke Box Jury and was still in contact with the presenter, Jacobs.

After returning home on the evening of March 29th, she immediately typed her first letter to Jacobs to promote her discovery. In the coming months, Pettifer would selflessly write to almost every television station, radio station, and music-related magazine to inform them about the Rolling Stones; she even approached the BBC to try to get the group an audition. During this period, she was constantly in direct contact with the members of the group, keeping them informed about her promotional activities.

In early June 1963, Pettifer approached Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham to request that she be allowed to set up the first official Rolling Stones Fan Club. Oldham passed the request on to Eric Easton, who handled the Rolling Stones’ business matters. On June 14, 1963, Easton replied to Pettifer to give her the go-ahead to set up the fan club and offered her any help necessary to start the club. In July 1963, the first-ever Rolling Stones fan club newsletter was mailed out. Wishing to remain anonymous, Pettifer adopted the pseudonym Diane Nelson in her position as fan club secretary.

Doreen Pettifer pioneered the Stones and their music throughout 1963 and 1964 and wrote an authorized and still unpublished manuscript documenting the genesis of the group. In the second half of the sixties, she became involved in fan club work for a host of groups, including Eric Clapton and John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. Starting Bid $1000

According to Hot Stuff: The Story of the Rolling Stones by Stones uber-collector Matt Lee, these lithographs were printed in four colors, red, purple, gold and silver.

Inside the briefcase I saw several other pieces of tin foil with brown residue and burn marks.’ A unique, personal piece directly connected to Jerry Garcia’s enigmatic life and legend.

9276. Jerry Garcia Handwritten Lyrics to ‘The Maker’.

Unsigned handwritten lyrics by Jerry Garcia, one page, 8 x 12.5, no date. Garcia pens the lyrics to ‘The Maker,’ a song by Daniel Lanois that was regularly played in concert by the Jerry Garcia Band from 1992 to 1995. Garcia writes, in full:

“Oh deep water

Black and cold like the nite

I stand with arms wide open

I’ve run a twisted line

I’m a stranger, in the eyes of the Maker

I could not see for the fog in my eyes

I could not feel for the fear in my life

And from across the great divide

In the distance I saw light

Jean Baptiste walking to me, with the Maker

My body is bent & broken

By long & dangerous sleep

I can’t work the fields of abraham And turn my head away

Pink Floyd

“She’s walking, in a sunshine town, Feeling very cool”—amazing handwritten song lyrics by Syd Barrett for the Pink Floyd song ‘Apples and Oranges,’ the last single written by the band’s co-founder before his departure in 1968

9282. Syd Barrett Handwritten Lyrics for the Pink Floyd Song ‘Apples and Oranges’ - From the Collection of Manager Peter Jenner. Handwritten lyrics by Syd Barrett for the Pink Floyd song ‘Apples and Oranges,’ the band’s third UK single, which was released opposite ‘Paint Box’ on November 17, 1967. The lyrics, unsigned, no date, are penned in ballpoint on two off-white 8 x 13 sheets of notebook paper, the first page of which is titled at the top, “Apples and Oranges,” with Barrett adding a series of musical chords immediately below. The lyrics, in full:

“Got a flip-top pack of cigarettes in her pocket / Feeling good at the top, shopping at shops / She’s walking, in a sunshine town / Feeling very cool / At the butchers and the bakers and the supermarket stores / Getting everything she wants from the supermarket stores / More More More More More More More / Apples and Oranges / Apples and Oranges

Cornering neatly, she trips up sweetly / to meet the people / She’s on time again, And then / I catch her by the eye then I stop and have to think / What a funny thing to do cos I’m feeling very pink / Think Think Think Think Think / Apples and Oranges / Apples and Oranges

I love She. / She loves me. / See you See you See you / I thought you might like to know / I’m the lorry driver man / She’s on her own. / Down by the riverside / Feeding ducks in the afternoon tide / Quack Quack Quack Quack / Apples and Oranges / Apples and Oranges / Apples and Oranges.” In fine condition.

‘Apples and Oranges’ was the final Pink Floyd single to be written by Syd Barrett before he departed the band in April 1968. The song, about a girl whom the narrator meets at the supermarket, was recorded shortly before the band’s U.S. tour, on October 26 and 27, 1967. It was the group’s first single that failed to break into the UK charts, with Roger Waters blaming the single’s sales performance on producer Norman Smith: ‘’Apples and Oranges’ was destroyed by the production. It’s a fucking good song.’ When asked about the single’s poor sales, Barrett purportedly replied that he ‘couldn’t care less.’ Pink Floyd, along with Barrett, mimed ‘Apples and Oranges’ on their first U.S. televised performances on The Pat Boone Show and

American Bandstand. Barrett famously kept his lips closed during the first performance, but mimed competently on the latter show, of which footage survives.

Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by a letter of provenance from Mushi Jenner, the daughter of Peter Jenner, who was the first manager of Pink Floyd. It reads, in part: “These lyrics were used, filed, archived, and cared for by my mum, Sumi Jenner for 38 years until her passing in 2005. The boxes where then passed onto my care as archivist for Sincere Management…I believe, according to work experience with my parents and working in the music management business, that the lyrics were obtained for office use at Blackhill Enterprises. The lyrics were in a file marked Publishing, which leads me to the conclusion that they were requested by my father or mother to be used for notifying publishing or for use in a press release or some such. I have contacted the Syd Barrett Estate and the Pink Floyd management team, and they have provided approval that these lyrics are my father’s property and can be sold.”

From the collection of Peter Jenner, Pink Floyd’s first manager, who co-founded Blackhill Enterprises with his childhood friend, Andrew King, after discovering the band playing at the Marquee Club in March 1966. The following year, Blackhill Enterprises set up Pink Floyd’s Games for May concert, the first pop concert in South Bank, and then helped establish the first Hyde Park Free Festival, which were held in June, July, and August in 1968, and attended by over 120,000 people eager to see artists like Pink Floyd, Roy Harper, and Tyrannosaurus Rex.

After signing the upstart band, Jenner and King invested in new musical equipment, clothing, and promotion for each Pink Floyd member. However, it was Syd Barrett that the pair saw as the principal songwriter and creative force in the group. Jenner in particular took Barrett under his wing, sensing his vulnerability. Barrett was the lead singer, songwriter, and face of a new genre of progressive psychedelic rock. However, behind all of this, Barrett’s mental state was beginning to deteriorate, and he was starting to become lost both to drugs and to the pressures from the industry at the time.

Taking a break from the San Francisco scene, 22-year-old Janis Joplin writes from college in Texas: “I guess maybe I’m too hasty in assuming that LSD is more serious than grass, but to me it is”

9312. Janis Joplin Autograph Letter Signed, Commenting on Fear of Addiction: “I guess maybe I’m too hasty in assuming that LSD is more serious than grass, but to me it is”. ALS signed “x, Janis” and “xxx, J,” seven pages, 5.75 x 7.75, November 11, [1965]. Content-rich handwritten letter to her boyfriend, Peter de Blanc, sending thanks for some roses, reporting that she has begun seeing a therapist and is taking anti-anxiety medication, explaining that she has developed a neurotic fear of relapsing into drug addiction, and desperately hoping for him to write or call.

In part: “First of all, thank you for the roses. They’re beautiful. But, damn, such an underhanded trick! That’s almost cheating, they’re so pretty & they smell nice & they came in a huge box w/ a red bow…But anyway…They have me on Librium now & it’s really helped emmensely [sic].

I must explain my frame of mind both last Sunday when I talked to you & in its development. Of course, I didn’t really know this before a few days ago & I’ve been trying to sift it out. The tranquilizers have really helped & just talking to that guy who’s my ‘counselor’ now has, too. And so, because of my new insight, I’m beginning to see that maybe I owe you a slight apology. (But don’t think it was your damn fragrant roses.)

You know that I’ve been fairly adamant about my determination not to get fucked up again. Well, it seems now to have developed into a rather neurotic tenor. I never relax anymore. I [never] just talk to people. I [never] have fun—hell, I won’t have fun. I seem to be really mortally afraid that things won’t go right somehow & I’ll end up back in that hellish jungle that I’m obsessed with. I’m constantly watchful & wary & really damn afraid. I’m…doing well in school because it’s mortally important to me! But, god, this isn’t right!

The reason I went to that counselor is because I had suddenly realized that I was building my stability & progress on sheer terror & that won’t work!…I keep talking about ‘one step back’ being the end of me & everything.

Well, anyway, what I’m trying to say is, wow baby, I’m really desperately, dis-proportionately afraid! And, from my new

slightly objective vantage point, induced by Librium & a few days easy breathing, I think I was maybe a little dis-proportionately afraid of you, too…

What prompted me to this decision was this—you hadn’t been writing, which to me means you’re brooding or messed-up somehow, & then when I called, you were really out of it, unable to help me when I needed it, & you had gone out & gotten loaded. I got some grass & tried to get loaded myself this weekend but couldn’t. And I guess maybe I’m too hasty in assuming that LSD is more serious than grass, but to me it is.

So anyway, this is it—I’m much calmer now. No longer terrified when I talk to people & I’m going to try & get this irrational fear under control. So hell, what is this? An apology? Not exactly—an effort to explain my newly-discovered neuroses, I guess. I’d like to hear from you—answer this letter, don’t write a new one, y’know what I mean? Reply. Reciprocate…

I’m really doing well in school…Making ‘A’s in 3, maybe 4, of my 5 classes. Write to me, Peter; I don’t know what’s going on anymore.”

She adds a full-page postscript, signed “xxx, J,” in part: “Just an afterthought, it’s now a few hours later. The general consensus of the family is that I was rash. So, hell, I’m sorry, baby, still love you…Really miss you—hope you can still come down at Christmas. Good luck on your job & please try & let me know what’s going on.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in her own hand.

Before her rise as the lead of Big Brother & the Holding Company in the summer of 1966, Joplin had taken a break from her life in San Francisco, leaving behind a lover there: Peter De Blanc. De Blanc supported Joplin’s determination to sober up by moving to her home town of Port Arthur, Texas, where she attended school at Lamar University. Their plan to marry was broken off when she learned that De Blanc was expecting a child with another woman. Joplin returned to San Francisco in June 1966 and joined Big Brother & the Holding Company to launch her legendary career. She would die tragically of a heroin overdose in 1970, at the age of 27.

Eric Clapton is widely celebrated for his masterful guitar work, and while he’s often associated with Fender Stratocasters, his early career prominently featured Gibson guitars. In the late 1960s, Clapton wielded a Gibson Les Paul with Cream, shaping the raw, blues-driven sound that defined the era. He also played a Gibson ES-335 and the iconic SG nicknamed ‘The Fool.’ Additionally, his acoustic work—especially on the legendary MTV Unplugged album—showcases his deep connection to blues roots, with warm, expressive tones from his orchestra-size Martin, a meticulously crafted tribute to pre-war guitars such as this Gibson L-3.

Neatly signed, uninscribed copy of Kaya,

Bob Marley’s 10th studio album

9350. Bob Marley Signed Album - Kaya. Kaya album by Bob Marley & the Wailers, signed nicely on the front cover in blue ballpoint by Marley.

In very good to fine condition, with moderate signature contrast, an area of surface scuffing to the upper left background, and some old sticker residue to Marley’s hair. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from REAL.

In contrast to earlier, more politically charged Wailers albums, the sound on Kaya—a Jamaican word for cannabis, hemp, or marijuana—was considerably more serene and laid back, and its release coincided with the One Love Peace Concert, which heralded Marley’s return to Jamaica from exile in London. Albums signed by Marley remain exceptionally scarce, with this particular title all the more desirable given its neat signature, lack of inscription, and essential role in roots-reggae history.

Mr. Petty, who rarely permits such visits backstage, spent 10 to 15 minutes with Thomas before the show, and then autographed and gave the boy his trademark top hat.” In overall fine condition.

Tom Petty’s fashion sense was effortlessly cool, often defined by his signature hats that became a staple of his rock ‘n’ roll image. From wide-brimmed fedoras to vintage-styled custom top hats, his headwear added a touch of mystery and swagger to his laid-back, denim-heavy wardrobe. This personally-worn example, given as a gift before his show with the Heartbreakers at the Meadows Music Theater in Hartford, Connecticut, on June 29, 1999, represents both his timeless style and unselfish generosity.Starting Bid $1000

The color semi-glossy 14 x 14 photographs are affixed to their original 20 x 24 boards, with protective plastic overlays. Both mounts have labels from Ted Staidle & Associates Photographic Color Reproduction, Los Angeles, affixed to the reverse. In overall fine condition, with some scuffing to the mount below Ike’s front cover image.

A heavy blues album released in March 1969, Outta Season includes such blues standards as ‘Honest I Do,’ ‘My Babe,’ ‘Rock Me Baby,’ ‘Mean Old World,’ and ‘Crazy ‘Bout You Baby,’ plus their signature cover of Otis Redding’s ‘I’ve Been Loving You Too Long,’ highlighting Tina Turner’s raw, emotional vocals. The art direction for the cover was done by Tom Wilkes with photography by Barry Feinstein, though Amos and Andy are humorously credited on the album—a reference to the popular blackface roles of Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll. Due to the interest of white audiences in blues music in the 1960s, Los Angeles Times music critic Pete Johnson noted that the Turners are ‘pictured in whiteface eating big slices of watermelon each winking broadly at any young record buyers who might suspect that black people can’t sing the blues.’

The nature of that change depends as much on the influence of the people who are involved as it does upon the music.

I hope you like it because a lot of sacrifices were made to put this thing together: Phil was supposed to be having a well deserved rest, and both Greg and Nathan were already booked into other projects. As for me, I would do anything to work with these blokes, they are the best, and I consider it an honour and a blessing to play with them.” In fine condition.

Prince wrote and composed ‘When Doves Cry’ after all the other tracks were complete on Purple Rain, including the song ‘Father’s Song,’ which represents the referenced “trade-in.”

“‘U,’ Master”—amazing cassette tape recording of the Prince song ‘U,’ featuring rare vocals by Prince, who later sent this song to Paula Abdul to include on her platinum-selling Spellbound album

9449. Prince ‘U’ Master Cassette Tape - Rare Paisley Park Recording for Paula Abdul’s Spellbound Album. Circa 1988-1990 master cassette tape containing the Prince song ‘U.’ The tape, which features Prince on vocals, has an approximate running time of 4 minutes and 33 seconds and bears an affixed B-side label marked in black ballpoint, “‘U,’ Master.” In fine condition.

Prince originally wrote the song ‘You’ as a track for the planned debut album of his then-backing band, The Rebels, which was set to be released circa 1979. Warner Bros. ultimately shelved the project, but Prince, who wrote four songs for the record, would re-record the album in the late 1980s at Paisley Park. The song was nearly resurrected in late fall of 1987, when it was mentioned in an early draft of Graffiti Bridge; as written in the screenplay, ‘You’ was intended to be sung by the character Camille, who was played by Prince.

At some point between 1988 and 1990, the updated version of the song, restyled as dance-pop from its original guitar-driven rock sound, was sent to breakthrough pop star Paula Abdul, who then added her vocals at Studio Masters in Los Angeles, California, circa mid-1990. Now titled as ‘U,’ the song was included as the sixth track on Abdul’s highly anticipated second album, Spellbound, which was released on May 14, 1991, via Virgin Records and Captive Records.

From the collection of Marylou Badeaux, a former executive at Warner Bros. Records, who received this tape directly from Prince, ostensibly not long before or after he sent another to Abdul. Prince shared the tape with Badeaux because he knew he could trust her, but also, seemingly, as a way to express his growing dissatisfaction with the label. Also significant is the presence of Prince’s vocals on the tape, who never officially sang the song for a record; Gayle Chapman sang on the original ‘You’ version by The Rebels, with Paula Abdul singing on the modified ‘U’ track.Starting Bid $300

Rare original sealed promotional 12-inch bootleg single of ‘Gett Off’ by Prince and The New Power Generation, selfreleased in a limited edition of 1500 copies by Prince to celebrate his 33rd birthday on June 7, 1991. The song, entitled on the album sleeve as ‘Gett Off, approx: damn near 10 min.,’ was originally intended as a promotional one-off release delivered to radio and club DJs and not planned to be on the 1991 album Diamonds and Pearls.

However, due to the single’s positive reaction, the song replaced the album’s seventh track, ‘Horny Pony,’ on the album as a new, edited 4:31 version and released as the lead-off single.

From the collection of Marylou Badeaux, a former employee at Warner Bros. Records who worked closely with Prince on a variety of projects, which included the secret organization and manufacture of the sought-after ‘Gett Off’ birthday bootleg at a small record pressing plant in Santa Monica, California. Because Prince wanted the single to be pressed ‘under the radar,’ and without any involvement of Warner Bros. Records, he turned to Badeaux to get the job done.

Of the covert operation, Badeaux recalls: ‘I arranged to have 1500 copies delivered to my home and put them in the garage to ‘await further instructions.’ Within a day, I received a call from Duane Nelson, Prince’s half-brother, who was working as his bodyguard at the time. They (whoever ‘they’ were) would come by my home around midnight for the product. All I can say is that it was a good thing that the neighbors were asleep as a stretch black limo pulled up in front of the house around midnight and Duane jumped out of the car. He and I carried the boxes and loaded them into the trunk. If a neighbor had witnessed this, they probably would have called the police! At that point, I had no idea that Prince was also in the car as the dark windows were closed.

We were down to the last boxes when Duane said Prince told him to have me ‘keep a box for yourself. They will be worth a lot of money one day.’ At that point, the window rolled down, Prince looked out, and just smiled. They pulled off heading for the clubs so Prince could deliver his birthday 12˝ to all the hot spots. Ironically, as ‘weird’ as I felt about this little escapade, this 12˝ blew up in the clubs and, as a result, ‘GETT OFF’ (without the ‘Damn Near 10 minute’ version) was officially released as a 7˝ and 12˝ becoming a #1 US Billboard Hot Dance Club hit, a Top 10 on the R&B Chart, and a Top 25 on the Hot 100 chart!’ From the collection of Marylou Badeaux, a former Warner Bros. Records executive who spent 25 years in the label’s R&B and jazz departments and served as Vice President of Special Projects. During her tenure, Badaeux developed a close working relationship with Prince, with whom she closely collaborated for nearly two decades. Starting Bid $200

Nirvana

Kurt Cobain-used orange Dunlop Tortex guitar

pick from Nirvana’s historic Roxy Theatre show on August 15, 1991, deemed by many as the greatest concert of their career

9470. Kurt Cobain Personally Used ‘Roxy Theatre’ Guitar Pick (August 15, 1991). Orange Dunlop Tortex .60mm guitar pick personally used by Kurt Cobain during Nirvana’s performance at the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, California, on Thursday, August 15, 1991, a concert widely considered as the greatest of their legendary career. Includes a section of the original picture notebook to which the pick was previously affixed; the section contains a trimmed color photo of Cobain strumming his guitar during the Roxy show, and an upper handwritten notation: “Took this pick from Roxy stage, Nirvana 1991.” In fine condition, with expected signs of use.

Roughly one month before Nirvana released their breakthrough album, Nevermind, on September 24, 1991, the band played a concert at the Roxy Theatre that many have deemed the greatest of their career. The show served as an industry showcase meant to introduce the trio to their new major label, DGC Records (a subsidiary of Geffen), and a 7-song warmup before heading to Europe in support of Sonic Youth on August 20th. After they performed ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit,’ the Geffen art director handed out casting call flyers while Krist Novoselic announced to the crowd that they would be filming a music video for the song that weekend. Two days later, in Culver City, the band filmed one of the greatest music videos of all time, simultaneously thrusting MTV into the grunge era and catapulting alternative rock into the mainstream.

Accompanied by a modern print of Cobain at the Roxy, a printed copy of the ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ casting call flyer, and a signed and notarized letter of provenance from the pick’s owner, who attended the storied Roxy Theatre show and retrieved the pick from beneath a monitor before leaving the venue. The letter, in part: “I attended the show and was positioned at the front of the stage throughout the performance. During the final song of the set, Kurt Cobain’s guitar pick fell under one of the front stage monitors. I was able to reach under the monitor and retrieve the pick before leaving the venue. This pick has remained in my possession ever since that night and I added it to my picture notebook along with some notes and other pics and tickets that I collected…

Leading up to the concert, I also helped hand out promotional flyers for the show. As a member of a local band myself, which played both the Whisky a Go Go and the Roxy in 1991, I was active in street promotion along the Sunset Strip. I picked up a stack of Nirvana flyers from a record store and distributed them alongside my own band’s flyers the week before the Roxy performance. I also received their flyer at the Roxy about filming their video for Smells Like Teen Spirit but unfortunately I did not attend it. This memorabilia notebook that I created, which included the guitar pick, was in my storage for more than two decades and thought to be lost. I finally went through all my storage boxes and found it which contained the guitar pick and other Nirvana items.” Starting Bid $200

Scarce Hormoaning EP signed by the kings of grunge

9471. Nirvana Signed CD Sleeve - Hormoaning: Australian 1992 Tour EP. Rare CD booklet for the Nirvana EP Hormoaning, signed on the front in black felt tip, “Kurdt,” “Dave,” and “Chris,” who adds “Not for sale.” In fine condition. The CD and the track listing sleeve are included. In conjunction with Nirvana’s first and only Australian tour, a 12-date stretch in early 1992, Geffen Records released the Hormoaning EP on January 27, 1992. Limited to 10,000 copies, the six-song album was presented to their Australian fans as gratitude for their support of the band’s breakthrough 1991 album, Nevermind, and their chart-topping single, ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit.’ The consignor notes that the signatures were obtained at Adelaide’s Thebarton Theatre just three days after the EP’s release. With only a handful of autographed copies known to exist, this exceptionally rare CD was signed near the start of Nirvana’s unprecedented three-year window of record-setting popularity. Starting Bid $500

Rare oversized poster for Nirvana’s canceled 1994 Dublin concert—scheduled as the last date of the In Utero UK tour

9472. Nirvana 1994 Dublin ‘Bus Shelter’ Concert Poster (Canceled Show - Cobain’s Death). Rare original color 40 x 60 European kiosk-style concert poster for Nirvana appearing with Sebadoh and the Raincoats at RDS Simmonscourt in Dublin, Ireland, on April 8, 1994, a canceled show which was to be the final date of the In Utero UK tour. On April 8th, Kurt Cobain’s body was found at his home on Lake Washington Boulevard in Seattle, Washington; forensic investigators and a coroner later determined that Cobain had died on April 5, three days prior to the discovery of his body, and confirmed his death as a suicide. The poster features the iconic In Utero angelic album artwork against a yellow-red gradient background. Rolled and in fine condition. Reportedly, only twelve of these large-format ‘bus shelter’ posters were produced. Starting Bid $200

1990s and Beyond

9488. Madonna Signed Check. Personal check, 6 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Madonna, “Madonna Ciccone,” payable to Xavier for $75, October 31, 1985. In fine condition. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.

In 1985, Madonna was skyrocketing to superstardom, thanks to the success of her second album, Like a Virgin, which solidified her as a pop icon. She starred in the film Desperately Seeking Susan, earning praise for her performance and further expanding her influence beyond music. That year, she also embarked on The Virgin Tour, her first concert tour, playing to sold-out arenas across North America. Starting Bid $200

Sought-after signed example of Madonna’s landmark ‘Like a Virgin’

9487. Madonna Signed Album - Like a Virgin. UK pressing of Madonna’s iconic Like a Virgin album (Sire – WX 20), neatly signed on the front cover in black felt tip, “love, Madonna.” In fine condition. The record is included.

Madonna’s Like a Virgin, released in 1984, was a landmark album that catapulted her to global superstardom and redefined the boundaries of pop music and female sexuality in mainstream culture. Blending catchy hooks with provocative themes, the album challenged traditional norms and sparked widespread conversation, particularly with its bold title track. With its title track and hits like “Material Girl,” it not only showcased Madonna’s savvy as a pop icon but also solidified her status as a fearless, trend-setting artist unafraid to blur the lines between art, image, and identity. Signed examples of the album are very scarce, this being the first we have offered in nearly a decade. Starting Bid $300

9489. Red Hot Chili Peppers Signed Album - Mother’s Milk. Mother’s Milk album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, signed and inscribed on the front cover in black felt tip, “Anthony Kiedis,” “Jim, Jack off with lights dim, John Frusciante,” “Flea,” who adds a sketch of his teeth, and “Hi Jim, Chad Smith.” In very fine condition. The record is not included. Starting Bid $200

9490. Sublime with Rome Huge Stage-Used 2015 Summer Tour ‘Burning Sun’ Concert Backdrop (30-feet x 20-feet). Huge vinyl stage backdrop used by famed ska punk band Sublime with Rome during the band’s 2015 summer tour in support of their second album, Sirens. The backdrop approximately measures 30-feet x 20-feet and features artist Opie Ortiz’s iconic ‘burning sun’ emblem against a black background, with the upper and lower portions bearing large white text, “Sublime with Rome.” In fine condition.

The artwork of Opie Ortiz has become synonymous with Sublime. Ortiz was also responsible for the ‘Sublime’ tattoo across Bradley Nowell’s upper back, which appeared on the cover of the multi-platinum self-titled album Sublime, along with the flower art covering the front of the CD. He also created the burning sun on the cover of 40 Oz. to Freedom, the cover artwork for Second-hand Smoke, 1997’s Doin’ Time EP, and for the Everything Under the Sun box set.

Sublime with Rome was a ska punk band that began as a musical collaboration between former Sublime members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh, and singer and guitarist Rome Ramirez. The trio initially performed as Sublime until the estate of late Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell issued a legal challenge to the use of the trademarked name for a venture not including Nowell. As a result, they changed their name to Sublime with Rome in January 2010. After 15 years of touring, the band officially announced its farewell tour dates in March 2024. Starting Bid $200

9491. Sublime with Rome Massive Stage-Used 2015 Summer Tour ‘Sirens’ Concert Backdrop (33-feet x 30-feet). Massive vinyl stage backdrop used by famed ska punk band Sublime with Rome during the band’s 2015 summer tour in support of their second album, Sirens. Especially custom-made by Sew What? Inc., the backdrop approximately measures 33-feet x 30-feet and features

Drew Brophy’s highly stylized Sirens album cover art, which features an array of street-art designs with the band’s name in graffiti lettering, “Sublime with Rome,” centrally displayed with a large civil defense siren. The vibrant artwork appears to depict a tsunami moments before landfall, with all areas of the backdrop decorated with surreal imagery, from water creatures and flowers to fire, hearts, and streaks of bright lightning. The band’s instruments are seen buried in the seafloor. The Sew What? manufacturing label to the underside lists the project as “Sublime,” with a date of July 1, 2015. In fine condition.

Per Brophy on his website, the Sirens album artwork contains myriad elements and messages: ‘The little skeleton guy; I pictured the old WWII air raids when they had to crank the siren. The mushroom is a spin-off of Opie’s mushroom from the original Sublime art. The heart represents Rome singing his heart and soul out on the stage. The depiction of Long Beach is the pile of rubble they’re sitting on. It’s getting ready to be hammered by a giant wave. There’s an off-ramp to the 710 freeway to LA, which is shaking as a big earthquake comes through. The cop car in pieces is all that’s left of the cops. The sexy siren is an omen, a ghostly premonition. The psycho garibaldi fish is a throw-back to the Bad Fish lyrics. I’ve been drawing this fish forever and wanted to include it. There’s a tribute to Bradley in there, I’ll leave that up to the viewer to figure out what it is.’

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 RR Auction and Auction

This Auction is presented by RR Auction, a d/b/a/ of R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC, as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the Catalog or on the www.RRauction.com Internet site. The Auction is conducted under these Conditions of Sale. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog.

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 agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale in addition to company for whom the Bidder is acting

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

Section 2 Bidding Privileges

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

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

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

Section 3

Buyer’s Premium

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

Section 4

Bidding

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

4.2 RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a reoffering 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 fur-

ther 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 Bidder’s property in their possession.

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

Section 7 Sales Tax

RR Auction is a remote seller and we are now required to collect Sales/Use Tax from our bidders. The states that we have nexus in we will be required to collect and remit sales tax on your behalf. Each state has different requirements to meet nexus. When RR Auction has achieved a certain monetary and/or invoice threshold in each state we will apply sales tax to your total invoice. The states that are affected are: ARIZONA, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, KANSAS, KENTUCKY, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEBRASKA, NEVADA, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, NORTH CAROLINA, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, PENNSYLVANIA,RHODE ISLAND, TENNESSEE, TEXAS, UTAH, VIRGINIA, WASHINGTON, WISCONSIN

If we have not achieved nexus in a particular state it is still your responsibility to pay sales tax on your purchases.

The sales tax rate is determined by the State, Country, and City where purchases are shipped to. If you decide to pick up your purchases at our New Hampshire location you will not be required to pay sales tax. The State of New Hampshire does not have a general sales and use tax. All purchases picked up at our Massachusetts location will be taxed at the current rate of 6.25%.

If you have a resale number please email Sue@RRAuction.com or fax to (603) 732-4288 a copy of your state resale certificate and you will be exempt from paying sales tax.

Section 8

Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges

Bidder is liable for shipping and handling and providing accurate information as to shipping or delivery locations and arranging for such. RR Auction is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that

service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction.

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

All duties, customs, and any other import charges are the responsibility of the bidder.

Section 9

Title

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

Section 10

Rights Reserved

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

Section 11

Conducting the Auction

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

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

11.3 Reserves

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

11.4 Off-Site Bidding

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

11.5 Estimate Prices:

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

11.6 Owned or Guaranteed Property:

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

11.7 Before the Auction:

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

11.8 Maximum Bids In All Auctions:

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

11.9 Successful Bids:

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

11.10 Unsold Lots:

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

11.11 Bidding in Timed Auction:

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

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

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

11.12 Bidding - Internet Live Auction:

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 ”donot-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 subpart (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 Auc-

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

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

Section 19

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 Mas-

sachusetts, 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.

20.3 The Parties consent to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all claims between the Parties except as provided specifically herein and may seek confirmation of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in any Court of competent jurisdiction, including the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. 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. NO INJUNCTIVE OR DECLATORY RELIEF SOUGHT BY BIDDER IF ANY, CAN AFFECT OR BE ORDERED TO AFFECT ANY OTHER BIDDERS OR PERSONS.

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.

These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale.

Bidder will also be liable for an additional 20% of such amount to account for additional administrative costs, shipping, additional advertising, and other dam-

ages 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:

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.
