RR Auction: Fine Autographs and Artifacts Featuring Animation

Fine Autographs and Artifacts June 14, 2023 www.RRAuction.com

Harry Kleiman, Animation Expert When young Harry Kleiman’s family moved to Los Angeles in 1968, the cartoon fanatic—insatiable in his appetite for all things animated—began spending nearly every day after school visiting animation studios, learning about the process, and meeting the industry’s icons: Walter Lantz, Bob Clampett, Bill Hanna and Joseph Barbera, Chuck Jones, Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston, Frank Thomas, Ward Kimball, Grim Natwick, and Friz Freleng. These meetings sparked what would become his lifelong passion and business pursuit.

In 1980, Kleiman finished college and founded Collectors Paradise Galleries, attending dozens of conventions each year to buy, sell, and—his favorite—educate new collectors. In 1982, he was the first person to approach the Don Bluth Studio about selling their original cels from The Secret of Nimh. He also began making deals with Gary Goldman, offering cels from Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace. In 1984, he partnered Collectors Gallery in Studio City, where he was introduced to fellow animation enthusiasts from around the world.

RARE. REMARKABLE.

Over the years, Kleiman accumulated one of the most impressive animation art collections in existence, portions of which he generously lent out to animation scholars to continue broadening the world’s understanding and appreciation of this beloved art form. As an animation veteran who has spent his life studying, buying, and selling, Kleiman is eager to branch out and educate the next generation. We are proud to be a part of his lifetime of passion.

10. Abraham Lincoln Autograph Endorsement Signed as President to Promote Cavalry Lieutenant. Superlative Civil War–dated autograph endorsement as president, signed “A. Lincoln,” penned on the reverse of a letter written to him by members of the 38th Congress, one page, 7.75 x 9.75, May 7, 1862. The letter, recommending Simeon J.

Kellogg, Rowland E. Trowbridge, and Isaac N. Arnold; it boasts further handwritten endorsements by Colonel Benjamin Lloyd Beall and Assistant Surgeon Jonathan Letterman. On the reverse, President Lincoln writes: “Let this appointment be made if there be any vacancy not already committed to any other.” In fine condition, with professional fold reinforcements.

President Lincoln forwards a Civil War promotion request from James Thompson— father of the ‘Tommy gun’ inventor

Lincoln, Nov. 7, 1863,” the reverse of a 7.75 x 9.75 application by which James Thompson, Capt. 2d Artillery, requests promotion or permission to remain in Kentucky to recruit batteries of artillery.

Went with expedition under Col. Brown to Fort Pickens, returned in time to take part in first battle of Bull Run.” He goes on to outline his Civil War battle history—naming the fights at Fair Oaks, White Oak Swamp, Malvern Hill, and Chickamauga, amongst others—and make his demand: “Am an educated military man in the prime of life…mortified to see so many comrades promoted whom I have surpassed in estimation of all my friends, my own officers nominated for brevet promotion in battles on 30th June & 1st July ‘62 when I commanded…Desire promotion, or permission to remain in Kentucky & recruit regiment of artillery.” In very good to fine condition, with slight edge chipping, and light toning from prior display.

According to Cullum’s Register, Thompson would remain in Kentucky to work on organizing an artillery regiment until April 18, 1864. He would then take on mustering and disbursing duty at Louisville, Cincinnati, and San Francisco through 1865. He was promoted to Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel on March 13, 1865, for gallant and meritorious services at the Battle of Chickamauga. Retiring from service in 1869, he went on to serve as a professor of military science at Indiana State University. He was also the father of John T. Thompson, the inventor of the Thompson submachine gun—commonly known as the ‘Tommy gun.’ Starting Bid $1000

Wonderful dual-signed 1941 Christmas portrait from the Roosevelts 20. Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Signed Photograph. Scarce vintage matte-finish 10 x 8 photo of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt relaxing at a patio table with a book and knitting, an image originally taken on the south porch at Hyde Park on July 4, 1941, signed in fountain pen as president, “Franklin D. Roosevelt,” and as first lady, “Eleanor Roosevelt,” with “Christmas 1941” added in calligraphy as originally produced for the White House and President Roosevelt in 1941.

Reverse bears an Associated Press copyright stamp. In fine condition.

This rare format, discussed in Mary Evans Seeley’s book Season’s Greetings from the White House, marked the first occurrence of the president and first lady actually taking the time to hand-sign official White House Christmas presents for the executive staff at the White House during Christmastime of 1941, only a few weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor and America’s involvement in World War II. This example is by far one of the nicer of the known dual signed examples extant. Starting Bid $300

Historic oversized signed photo of FDR’s third inauguration, signed by the president, chief justice, vice president, and others

21. Franklin D. Roosevelt Oversized Multi-Signed Inauguration Photograph. Historic vintage matte-finish

13 x 10 photo of Roosevelt being sworn in as president for the third time on the steps of the US Capitol, signed in fountain pen as president, “Franklin D. Roosevelt.” Also signed “Charles E. Hughes, Jan 20, 1941,” as chief justice; “Cordell Hull” as Secretary of State; “H. A. Wallace” as Vice President; and “Charles Elmore Cropley, January 20, 1941,” as clerk of the Supreme Court, who held Roosevelt’s family bible as Hughes administered the oath of office. Matted and framed to an overall size of 17.5 x 15. In fine condition, with the last letter of Wallace’s signature matted out.

After serving eight years in the White House, FDR faced the difficult choice of running for office again, but worldwide events swayed him to run for an unprecedented third term. He must have felt the ominous tides of war after Hughes administered the oath and heard the thunder of guns when Supreme Court clerk Cropley dropped his family’s Dutch bible so soon after he had touched it and sworn the oath. In his inauguration speech,

he declared: ‘In this day the task of the people is to save that Nation and its institutions from disruption from without.’

Isolationism in America was coming to an end and Roosevelt felt the pressure of unfolding world events as Winston Churchill on the day of his inauguration admonished neutral nations to support the Allied cause and Japan expanded in intelligence budget to $500,000 to spy on the United States. Surely as he delivered his speech, the president knew the threat as he spoke ‘In the face of great perils never before encountered, our strong purpose is to protect and to perpetuate the integrity of democracy. For this we muster the spirit of America, and the faith of America. We do not retreat. We are not content to stand still. As Americans, we go forward, in the service of our country, by the will of God.’ On December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched a devastating attack on Pearl Harbor and America finally entered World War II. A remarkable image from an unprecedented and historically significant occasion.

“A verse from the Bhagavad Gita saves me from utter despair and consequent inaction”— the 24-year-old Gandhi promotes theosophy in South Africa 96. Mohandas Gandhi Autograph Letter Signed (1894) on Theosophy. ALS signed “M. K. Gandhi,” four

pages, 8.5 x 10.75, August 4, 1894. Handwritten letter to Mrs. A. M. Lewis of the Esoteric Christian Union, written during his second year in South Africa, regarding his efforts to promote interest in theosophy. In part: “I had occasion to come in contact with a doctor in Pretoria. He seemed to be the only gentleman in addition to another who took interest in theosophical subjects. I gave him the Perfect Way to read. He liked it so much that he wished me to get another copy for him…During my stay here I intend to spread as much as possible information about theosophy (to me there is little difference between Theosophy and Esoteric Christianity). I have therefore sent out letters to the President of the Vegetarian Society and Mrs. [Annie] Besant. I propose that the E.C.U. should send me a selection of books to be sold here. I would sell the books at cost price plus the postage and 5% commission to be kept by me. As to the price however I should be left free to use my discretion. I would send up the sale proceeds of the books every three months. The advertisement charges will be borne by me. If at the end of one year nothing is sold I would return the books at my cost. I give my personal guarantee for the safe keeping of the books and the sale proceeds…If it is necessary to read this letter or a portion thereof to the Union you can do so. I hope you will be able to persuade the Union, or those in authority, to accede to the above proposal.”

Gandhi continues to discuss a controversial work: “If you do not think much of the ‘Souls,’ what position is the book to occupy in respectful literature? If the author has written what is absolutely true from personal observation, the book cannot be lightly treated. If it is an attempt to delude the people into a belief in real truths by fascinating falsehoods the book deserves the highest condemnation possible. For we will not learn truth by means of falsehoods. Of course I write this without meaning the slightest disrespect for the author of whom I know nothing. She may be a lady of the highest probity and truth. I only repeat that to appreciate the Souls acquaintance with the author’s character is absolutely necessary.”

Finally, Gandhi dejectedly mentions a petition that Lewis had sent him: “I could get many signatures…But I am afraid the Natal signatures would be quite useless. Is it not a sad com-

mentary on the morality of the age that a most important and yet most harmless and elevating monument should not receive good support? At times when I think of these things I thoroughly despair of fruits of works. A verse from the Bhagavad Gita saves me from utter despair and consequent inaction—a verse which enjoins freedom from attachment to fruits of works.” In a brief handwritten postscript, signed with his initials (“M.K.G.”), he adds: “Please note change of address.” In fine condition.

Gandhi had settled in South Africa in 1893, taking on a one-year contract as an attorney for an Indian merchant there. It was while living in this racially charged environment that Gandhi began to develop his political ideology, which was informed by his interest in theosophy—an occultist stream of Western esotericism that drew its teachings from a variety of religious traditions. In this letter, he discusses the book The Perfect Way; Or, the Finding of Christ by Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland, an influential early theosophical book.

Maitland was a member of the Theosophical Society and in November 1891 founded the Esoteric Christian Union. Gandhi became the Union’s South Africa agent in 1894, as he so suggests here. Maitland and Gandhi opened a correspondence, and Mailtand introduced Gandhi to Tolstoy’s The Kingdom of God Is Within You—a book which ‘overwhelmed’ Gandhi and led him toward nonviolence as a means to promote political change. While protesting in Johannesburg in 1906, Gandhi adopted his famous methodology of ‘Satyagraha,’ or nonviolent protest, which would become critical to his later fight for Indian independence.

Upon his return to India in 1915, Gandhi embarked on a decades-long crusade for Indian independence, demonstrating and urging nonviolence and civil disobedience as the most effective means of achieving this goal. His public acts of defiance resulted in repeated incarceration and brought him to international attention. In 1947—some 53 years after writing the present letter—he participated in the postwar negotiations that led to Indian independence; in the following year, he was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic. A lengthy, early, and important letter from Gandhi’s formative years in South Africa.

“I have been asked to talk to you on penicillin”— extraordinary manuscript draft from Alexander Fleming, penned a month before winning the Nobel Prize

109. Alexander Fleming Handwritten Manuscript on Penicillin. Fascinating AMS by Alexander Fleming, who

penned this rough draft manuscript to use during an interview with Joe Bolton of the Office of War Information for a Voice of America broadcast near the end of World War II. The draft, 10 pages, 6 x 9, entitled “Pacific Broadcast,” is signed at the conclusion by Fleming, identifying it as a “Rough Draft,” who also makes numerous corrections and emendations in ink and pencil. Fleming forwarded this manuscript to Bolton with a TLS signed “A. Fleming,” one page, 5 x 8, Inoculation Department of St. Mary’s Hospital letterhead, September 11, 1945. The included letter, which is accompanied by its original mailing envelope, reads: “Thank you for your letter and for sending me the record which has just arrived. Thank you very much indeed.”

Fleming’s manuscript reads, in part: “I have been asked to talk to you on penicillin. The story of penicillin has been often told.

A culture plate with which I was working in London in 1929 became contaminated by a mould. This mould was discovered to produce a substance which had a very powerful destructive action on many of the common bacteria which infect man.

It belonged to the botanical class of Penicillium so I called the substance Penicillin. It was ten years afterward before the penicillin was concentrated by Florey, Chain and their colleagues at Oxford University. Florey brought his methods over to America and induced the scientists and manufacturers here to go ahead and produce penicillin. In America the methods were improved. And production was increased in so a phenomenal manner that now there is enough for anyone who wants it.

Well now we have penicillin and we have to use it, and to use it to best advantage we have to have a certain amount of knowledge. Penicillin is not a cure-all. It is the most effective chemical known on many of our common infections but it is without action on others. It would take too long to give a complete list of the sensitive and insensitive microbes but we might summarise by saying that the common microbes which cause sepsis, septicaemia, bone disease, pneumonia meningitis

are amenable to penicillin treatment as well as less common infections like anthrax actinomycosis and some others. The venereal infections too gonorrhea and syphilis are sensitive.

But diseases such as typhoid fever dysentery cholera, typhus fever and the virus infections are not affected by penicillin…

Penicillin has now been shown to be remarkably successful in many of the common infections from which we suffer.

Streptococcal, staphylococcal and pneumococcal infections have responded wonderfully. It may be, though that its greatest benefit to mankind will be in the treatment of venereal disease.

Gonorrhea is cured in a few hours by a few injections (It is now much less trouble than a cold in the head) and it looks as if early syphilis can be dealt with by something like two weeks treatment. It may be possible that effective control can now eradicate the first of these diseases…

One thing we who use penicillin should always remember is that it is quite nonpoisonous. It is the only one of the antibacterial drugs which is quite nonpoisonous. We need never be afraid of giving an overdose and now that there is plenty of penicillin we should see to it that we give doses large enough to destroy the microbes not doses just enough to educate the microbes to resist the drug. Inadequate doses only lead to trouble. Sufficient penicillin administered to patients infected with sensitive bacteria gives spectacular results.” In overall fine condition, with minor paper loss to the top edge of the first page.

On October 26, 1945, a month after forwarding this letter and manuscript, Fleming then busy in his laboratory at St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London, was informed that he had won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and would jointly receive the award with Ernst Chain and Howard Florey for their discovery and development of penicillin. The Nobel Prize was a significant recognition of Fleming’s work and its impact on medicine, and it cemented his place in history as one of the most important scientists of the 20th century.

An electrical tip from Tesla: “I think that in your experiment the strength of the current was reduced and the E.M.F. increased when the wheel was more rapidly rotated” 112. Nikola Tesla Typed Letter Signed on Induction Coil Experiments. TLS signed “N. Tesla,” one page, 8 x

10.5, personal letterhead, July 25, 1894. Letter to research engineer, patent attorney, and inventor Noah Steiner Amstutz, in part: “The identical experiment which you illustrate was performed by Messrs. Spottiswoode, Gordon and others a very long time ago, and the same observation was made in regard to the properties of the current when the breaking was rapid. I think that in your experiment the strength of the current was reduced and the E.M.F. increased when the wheel was more rapidly rotated. You have probably got in this case less energy through the body. It is difficult to say exactly what the result in your case was, because it depends entirely on the electrical constants of the circuits and on the rate of breaking.”

In fine condition.

The referenced experiment, described by Tesla as “identical” to the type performed by William Spottiswoode and James Edward Henry Gordon, very likely relates to their early investigations on induction coils, a subject in which Tesla was most acutely informed.

Tesla’s experience with induction coils began while working for inventor Thomas Edison in the late 1880s. While Edison was interested in improving the efficiency of his direct current (DC) electrical power system, Tesla, conversely, was an advocate for alternating current (AC) as a more effective solution. To demonstrate the power of AC, Tesla built a series of induction coils that could generate high-frequency, high-voltage electrical currents. A magnificent letter from Tesla, who, although quite busy, offers his scientific input to a fellow inventor. Starting Bid $5000

In full: “Yours of the 8th inst. has been this day received, and the enclosure compared. It is in the main correct, the alterations you will find restored by pencil erasure and interlineation. You were correct in the supposition that it was a telegram; and that together with the fact that it was addressed to one fully informed of my views, will account for its brevity. The telegram to which mine was a response, was, I believe, the one which announced a change of the plan of campaign; which Genl. Beauregard accepted at Augusta, and thence, was to proceed to execute.

The last sentence of my telegram conveyed to Genl. Beauregard my dissatisfaction at the change and doubt as to the expected result. If the subject is of sufficient interest to you, to induce you to read further of it, allow me to refer to a work entitled ‘Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government’ Vol. 2 pp. 567 et seq. and to Genl. [John Bell] Hood’s book ‘Advance and Retreat’ pp. 270. et seq. Hood writing after his disastrous campaign into Tennessee, and the but little interrupted march of Sherman through Georgia in absence of Hood’s army, was too truthful and manly to attempt to avoid responsibility by transferring it to me, or by showing how far he would have to start behind Sherman, after he had allowed Sherman to move southward and eastward, while he (Hood) was marching to the northward and westward.” In fine condition, with toning along the vertical fold.

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

231. Apollo 13 Flown Robbins Medallion (Attested as From the Collection of Buzz Aldrin). Flown sterling

silver Apollo 13 Robbins medallion attested as deriving from the collection of Apollo 11 moonwalker Buzz Aldrin. The medallion, approximately 1.25˝ in diameter, features a raised design of the Apollo 13 mission insignia on the face—three horses driving Apollo’s chariot across the surface of the moon. The reverse boasts the names of the crew as flown, and is engraved with the launch date of April 11, 1970, and the return date of April 17, 1970. The medal is serial numbered “277” and stamped above with the Robbins “Sterling” hallmark. Encapsulated and graded by NGC as “MS 65,” with the label noting the provenance, “Ex. Buzz Aldrin.” Accompanied by the original case and a letter of provenance from aerospace memorabilia specialist Ken Havekotte, certifying that the medal “originated

from the collection of Buzz Aldrin and was first sold in 1990

by Superior Galleries.”

Owing to the unusual circumstances of the Apollo 13 mission, the affiliated Robbins medallion differs from its counterparts.

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

233. Alan Bean’s Apollo 17 Flown Robbins Medallion.

Alan Bean’s rare and historic flown sterling silver Apollo 17 Robbins medallion, approximately 1.25? in diameter, featuring a raised design of the mission insignia on the face—an image of Apollo, the Greek sun god, with a stylized eagle, the moon, Saturn, and a galaxy in the background.

Exceptional, unpublished handwritten letter to the wife of his friend Jules Guillemet, illustrated with original watercolors showing little bags (which Manet called “pochettes”) of various shapes and sizes, asking her to choose a model which he will then bring her from Paris. In small part (translated): “I will probably go to Paris these days and I will bring you in exchange a pink, a yellow, or a blue to your liking. Write me what you want and the form; write me whatever you want. I’m going to ask you for lunch that day. It’s not nice to have let us down on Tuesday.” Manet closes by drawing a pen-and-ink portrait of the correspondent’s husband, the tracing of a self-portrait by Guillemet himself: “Here is Jules drawn by himself, I trace it with all the care possible.” The letter is tipped-in by its hinge to a volume labeled “Manet Recuil,” containing several works on Manet.

A lengthy handwritten letter sent to Henri Matarasso, a famous publisher and great collector of things related to the French poet Arthur Rimbaud, in part (translated): “Quite recently I have seen Jacque Cocteau in Paris…in the Adrien Maeght gallery, but in the manner that he greeted me I had the impression that he had not recognized me.

What a treat for me it will be to go through your book Picasso’s Atelier, for which I thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart. I didn’t know the Illuminations published by you and I’m very anxious to see the volume that must be precious and moving. You can suppose my dear friend the admiration that I have for Rimbaud.

I always have a volume of his poetry at my bedside and in my atelier. I only admire artists that have a divine spark and not those who don’t. I am very categorical on that point. All the rest are just jokes. What you propose to me is very tempting but an enterprise of such ambition and such responsibility I need time to think and find the right moment to attack such a monument as Rimbaud. For the time being, I can’t even dream of it because I am absorbed by my exhibition of June 1960 which will serve as a prologue to that of June 1961. That should have a great impact and be an important step. In the meantime and in what concerns my graphic work I would like to finish everything that is right now being done to start a new period with fresh ideas.”

Signed beautifully at the conclusion by Miro. In fine condition. A significant letter penned at the height of his fame and rife with artistic associations. Starting Bid $200

Lengthy philosophical letter by Philip K. Dick, interpreting “the irreal nature of spatiotemporality” and Plato’s ‘Theory of Forms’ 306. Philip K. Dick Typed Letter Signed.

TLS signed “Love, Phil,” adding a heart with arrow, three pages, 8.5 x 11, February 14, 1981. Lengthy philosophical letter to science fiction author Patricia Warrick, in small part: “If the same object (Tree X, as I call it) is seen at two times and two places then ‘two times and two places’ is illusory as a way of perceiving reality. The perseverance of the object, which is to say the fact (as I noted) that things do not in fact perish, is due to the irreal nature of spatiotemporality. This must be so, and this, precisely, is what the brain concludes. It concludes this on the same basis that it concludes that when the mother approaches the crib three times in a row there are not three mothers but one mother. One mother seen three times. Thus this is a primal, elementary abstracting-process by the infant brain, absolutely correct and absolutely necessary.” In fine condition.

Remarkably rare signed photograph of Fyodor Dostoevsky, inscribed to his architect brother

310. Fyodor Dostoevsky Signed Photograph to Brother. Prolific Russian novelist (1821–1881) whose literary

works—such as Notes from Underground (1864), Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880)—explore the human condition in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia. Excessively rare 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photo featuring an oval portrait of Fyodor Dostoevsky by Constantin Shapiro, boldly signed and inscribed on the reverse in ink to his brother, the architect Andrey Dostoevsky: “Dorogomu bratu / Andreju ot brata / Fedora 12 Oktob[ra] / 79 [For my dear brother Andrey from his brother Fyodor, 12 October 1879].” The photo is protected by tissue guards on both sides and in very good to fine condition, with some flaking to the emulsion at the edges of the image side, and an inconsequential stain at the bottom of the signed side. A remarkable literary autograph, and an extreme rarity—the first Dostoevsky we have ever offered.

This incredible Dostoevsky signed photograph is not listed in the census of Dostoevsky’s inscriptions, published in 1990.

Altogether, the editors of the scholarly 30-volume Academy of Sciences edition of Dostoevsky’s works count only 42 inscriptions, of which 16 are on photographs—a surprisingly small number for a so prolific and significant author of his day. That it is a presentation to his brother, Andrey Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1825–1897), makes it an even more remarkable association piece. Andrey Dostoevsky’s memoirs, first published in 1930, are important to literary scholars as a source of information on the early years of Fyodor’s life.

The St. Petersburg photographer and Hebrew poet Constantin Shapiro (1839-1900) was a close friend of Fyodor Dostoevsky and produced several portraits of him. His fashionable studio on Nevsky Prospect was popular with celebrities, and his many famous sitters included Tolstoy, Chekhov, Tchaikovsky, Turgenev, and Gontcharov. Starting Bid $5000

Intended for publication in one of the two newspapers managed by Dumas during his stay in Naples between 1861 and 1864, L’Indipendente and the Monte-Cristo, the article gives an uncompromising appraisal of the clergy in Italy, divided between high-ranking dignitaries and priests close to the common people, and offers his solutions.

Dumas, thanks to his experience in the world of French journalism, brought various editorial innovations to Naples, including the serialization of novels on the front page of the paper.

Struggling in Hollywood, Fitzgerald signs on with Paramount Pictures in 1939 315. F. Scott Fitzgerald Signed 1939 Film Contract.

DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, April 13, 1939. Official letter from Paramount Pictures requesting F. Scott Fitzgerald to confirm that, following the termination of an earlier contract, he will render his services “as a writer in connection with the screenplay of the motion picture photoplay tentatively entitled AIR RAID…for a total compensation of One Thousand Two Hundred Dollars.”

Signed at the conclusion in black ink by Fitzgerald. The contract is marked with a large ‘X’ and is not countersigned by a studio executive. In fine condition.

Fitzgerald struggled throughout 1939—his contract with MGM was not renewed, he was hospitalized twice for alcoholism, and he only managed to pick up odd jobs working on movie script re-writes, one of which was for the referenced Paramount film Air Raid, which was ultimately never greenlit for production.

Fitzgerald’s reliance on Hollywood, and the industry’s subsequent dismissal of his talents, pushed him to return to drinking. By year’s end, however, Fitzgerald achieved sobriety whilst working on his Pat Hobby stories and his novel The Love of the Last Tycoon, a work left unfinished by his early death in December 1940.

Fitzgerald offends at a Jazz Age party: “I was living in a state of mild masturbation at the Rennert” 314. F. Scott Fitzgerald Autograph Letter Signed and Handwritten Poem. Remarkable pairing of an ALS

and an unsigned handwritten poem: ALS signed “Ever your devoted friend, Scott,” three pages, 6 x 9.25, Hotel Rennert letterhead, no date but likely circa 1932. A letter to his friend Tom Lineaweaver, in part: “Had rather a run-in with your friend Davis—all my fault & yet unfortunate if it had any consequences.

Leaving the Poes shortly after you, we went to a friend of his & from there called up Bryan Dancy. My idea was to drop in only, & on arrival, I called up the Rennert & asked them to send out a boy to drive my car. Some smart alec at the party met the man & sent him back so much against my will I had to stay to dinner. I wanted to be home. Anyhow it seems that I said to the assembly at dinner that ‘I was living in a state of mild masturbation at the Rennert.’ It seemed to me an entirely innocuous remark. I’d said the same thing to Eleanor a few hours before and she didn’t collapse, but Massa Davis & Wife decided to be offended. Then also I was unwise as to mention the word virginity in conversation. I realized about then that I was being to them, offensive. I sent for my man to come & drive me home & this time he appeared. This morning I sent Mrs. Dancy flowers & know there’s no harm done there, but what version that flowery ass, Davis, will give you I don’t know.

I know that whenever I’m nice to people I don’t like or respect I’m sooner or later rude to them as a sort of compensation. I had heard the story of the Portsmouth Priory once too often.”

Also includes an unpublished handwritten poem in pencil by Fitzgerald, unsigned, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.5 x 7, no date but likely written around the time of Eleanor and Tom Lineaweaver’s marriage on June 28, 1920. The poem opens: “I remember,—years ago / When a deb. was desperate for a beaux, / She could phone to any Princeton Club / And get a dancing, if alcoholic sub.” The final couplet reads, “So now we’re gathered here today / To celebrate the initial jump in the hay.” The letter is in very good condition, with a few partial separations to the horizontal folds, and a complete separation to the top fold of the third page; the poem is in fine condition.

Fitzgerald lived at Baltimore’s Hotel Rennert from March 30–May 20, 1932, presumably dating the letter to this period.

The recipient, Tom Lineaweaver, was Fitzgerald’s longtime friend and former Princeton classmate. In the humorous letter, Fitzgerald tells the story of his “offensive” behavior after leaving a party at the Poes—a reference to the grandsons of Edgar Allan Poe’s cousin, who attended Princeton as well.

Fitzgerald was seemingly forced into company that he had little patience for, leading to a series of off-colored comments that shocked the guests. With the additional unpublished poem—which gives insight and depth to this friendship that spanned decades, as it was seemingly written for Tom and Eleanor’s wedding on June 28, 1920—this is a remarkable collection from the highly sought-after American icon, boasting references to his attendance at riotous Jazz Age parties.

Remarkable Vietnam War letters by John Steinbeck, suggesting inventions to aid the troops— the Nobel Prize winner’s creative ideas for magnets, weather balloons, mines, drugs, and more 329. John Steinbeck (4) Autograph Letters Signed on Vietnam War. Unique archive of four handwritten letters

by John Steinbeck to foreign correspondent Everett G. Martin, who spent his career reporting from some of the world’s most turbulent locales. He was Newsweek’s bureau chief in Saigon from 1966 to 1968, when he was expelled from the country for reporting on corruption within the South Vietnamese government. It was Ev Martin’s daring reporting and wonderfully descriptive writing that led the writer John Steinbeck to contact him when visiting Vietnam as a correspondent for Newsday magazine. The trip also allowed Steinbeck to visit his son, who was fighting in the war. Ev and Steinbeck became fast friends, and the trip strongly influenced Steinbeck, who was chastised by his liberal friends for his pro-war views when he returned.

In these letters, Steinbeck focuses on innovations and inventions that may aid the war effort—chiefly, he desired to drag the Mekong River with large magnets in order to attract any metal explosives that may have been planted there. He also makes suggestions for an improved “Steinbeck Claymore” and some clever tricks using weather balloons and tampered-with mortar rounds. The archive includes: 1. ALS signed “John,” two pages, 8 x 12, January 26, 1967, written from the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok. In part: “Bangkok is wonderful and I will love it when I see it. So far I have been holed up writing about what I have left to write of about UN. And there was a lot, too much. I can’t write them all. Saw too much too quick. We’re going to the northeast on next Monday to this part where the VC are trying to get a fast hold...

What I want to tell you is that I could not find a magnet in all of Saigon. I told Gen. Westmorland the idea and he was very interested but whether he ever said anything about it, I don’t know. I might even try here but the results are likely to be nil.

It’s crazy because there are plenty of them at home.”

2. ALS signed “John,” one page, 8 x 12, February 5, 1967, in part: “We got back from the northeast provinces yesterday and found the enclosed letter. I know this company Edmunds and they are good. I am writing them to send the magnets to you...Also I asked them for any ideas they might have for other detection equipment. These are very versatile and intelligent people and they might come up with something.” The January 26th and February 5th letters are stapled together, along with both original mailing envelopes (one addressed in Steinbeck’s hand), a carbon copy of a letter to Steinbeck regarding 5-lb horseshoe magnets made by the Edmund Scientific Co., and

a photocopy of a letter of introduction for Ev and Linda Martin.

3. ALS signed “John,” one page, 7.75 x 10, Raffles Hotel Singapore letterhead, March 8, 1967, in part: “I still don’t see how armor can be used in the paddys but maybe they do and I guess where they have been operating there isn’t any mud. I do hope the magnets have arrived by now...When you handle them, take off your wrist watch and put it in your pocket. Pass that word please. They are so powerful that they will magnetize the works and stop the things. Also compasses go nuts in their presence…I haven’t been writing much since Laos. That is really a crazy place. You can’t believe it.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Steinbeck’s hand, including his full name, “John Steinbeck,” written on the flap.

4. ALS signed “John,” six pages, 7 x 8.75, The Mandarin (Hong Kong) letterhead, March 24, 1967, in part: “Those magnets have now been on the way air mail for over 30 days.

Being heavy some one probably stole them or lost them...

On my hat rack at Sag Harbor I have lots of strange hats… the hard hat I wore at the Mohawk Project, a captain’s kepi, 1st Paris Artillery, the cap with general’s piping, I…wore as a correspondent in N. Africa. If John could bring me a beat up camouflage helmet for the hat rack, I would be glad...I don’t know what to do about the magnets. They will get there for the next war. If they aren’t there when I get home late in April, I’ll put a couple in McNamara’s hands and tell him to send them by courier. Incidentally, I’ll be seeing the President, Rush and McNamara…the balloon idea is this—get a weather balloon, inflate it with gas and weight it with buck shot so that it barely clears the ground. Then release it to move on the wind over infested country. The shot should give it an eccentric motion and I don’t think any V.C. could resist shooting at it, and then he could be pinpointed...At booby trap school I was showed how the VC trim the delay fuse of a grenade so that it blows instantly. Then they use it for a trap. Well we often capture grenades. The cores and the fuses come down separately and are assembled in the area. If any are available, they should be trimmed and left around. Then the thrower would kill himself.

The same could be done with mortar rounds.”

“Pvt. Woody W. Guthrie” recounts racially charged Army experiences for his never-completed “American Documentary Number One”

375. Woody Guthrie Autograph Manuscript Signed.

Autograph manuscript, signed “Pvt. Woody W. Guthrie, #42234634,” one page both sides, 7.25 x 10.5, Scott Field, August 12, 1945.

They just got to be put in their place and made to stay in it. I say give every color his part of town and make him stay in it. My home town had a fight or a killing just about every few days. I’m as good a trade union man as the next one, but I just can’t go in for this mixture of every kind and every color! They’ll always have hell in the unions as long as they try to break the laws of mama nature!’…I

And I’d really like you to see you try to run your town with everybody in a hole of his own color’…We had to line up, march to our rifles and face our targets out across the field.

I didn’t have time right then and there to answer that man.

We fired our carbines, our submachine M3’s, drove away singing in our buses…We remembered a few days ago in a lecture hall a Captain, a psychiatrist, has said, ‘You hear the negro out sing, you see him out march all of the other squadrons because he feels looked down on, and he shows you more friendly spirit out of unity than the other’…The Captain answered the racial expert pretty well, but of course on the subject of the fighting history of our trade union, the pregnant woman, the thirteen children, he did not have the time nor the authority to tell us about…I know that this album of Records, ‘American Documentary Number One’ is just a little answer to that soldier out there on that rifle range. It takes all night to sing the whole answer. But it can be sung.” In fine condition.

Monroe remains among the most coveted of all Hollywood signatures, with signed photographs, more than essentially all other formats, rightly demanding the attention of interested bidders.

Discontent with the constant departures of her Merchant Marine husband Jim Dougherty, Norma Jeane decided to embark on her first railroad trip in October 1944. After first visiting her

half-sister Berniece in Detroit, Norma Jeane moved on to Chicago to see her previous caretaker and beloved mother figure, Grace Goddard. Although the trip was cut short when Dougherty unexpectedly announced that he would be returning soon to California, the solo journey provided a great boost in confidence for Norma Jeane. Not long after returning home, she was discovered by Army photographer David Conover who arrived at Radioplane to snap morale-boosting pictures of female workers for the First Motion Picture Unit. The attention Norma Jeane received spurred the bubbly redhead to quit her job from the factory in early 1945, and, not long after, sign on with the Blue Book Modeling Agency. An early and significant handwritten letter from the future icon. Starting Bid $500

George Lucas corresponds with a Star Trek screenwriter in 1977 “in connection with writing for the ‘Star Wars’ sequel”

481. Star Wars: George Lucas Typed Letter Signed (1977). TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Star Wars letterhead,

August 29, 1977. Letter to science fiction screenwriter David Gerrold, in full: “Thank you for the opportunity to get to know your work. I have asked that Gary Kurtz read the material that you sent in connection with writing for the ‘Star Wars’ sequel. I also appreciate your enthusiasm for the picture and your kind words.” In fine condition. Encapsulated by Beckett Authentication Services.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from David Gerrold, who wrote the script for the original Star Trek episode ‘The Trouble with Tribbles,’ created the Sleestak race on the TV series Land of the Lost, and wrote the novelette ‘The Martian Child, which won both Hugo and Nebula Awards. Gerrold writes, in part: “I saw Star Wars in May of 1977, at a preview screening on the 20th lot, two weeks before it opened. I was also first in line at the Chinese Theater, the day it opened. In august 1977, rumors were already circulating about sequels

to the year’s big hit movie, Star Wars. My agent suggested I toss my hat in the ring. (I’d already written for Star Trek, Land Of The Lost, and other science shows, plus I’d published a dozen books by then, so I had some credential in the field.)

While I was pretty certain that George Lucas already had his own ideas in mind, I followed my agent’s advice and sent a note—mostly to congratulate George on one of the most enjoyable and exciting movies I’d ever seen. It wasn’t just a great movie, it transformed the entire industry, changing everybody’s idea of what was possible in a motion picture. George Lucas sent me the attached letter in reply.”

Additionally includes a copy of a Lucasfilm memo pertaining to some questions that Gerrold posed pertaining to characters and language in Star Wars, focusing on Han Solo’s unusual use of the term ‘parsec’—a unit of distance, not of time. Between the colorful Star Wars letterhead, George Lucas’s early and legible signature, and the interesting accompanying materials, this is a rare and fantastic Star Wars piece. Starting Bid $1000

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 re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot,

even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 5 Bidding Options 5.1 Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to in-person, facsimile, phone and mail bids) are treated similarly to floor bids in that they must be on-increment. Any in-person, facsimile, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full increment and this revised amount will be considered Bidder’s high bid.

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

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

In a live sale, bids on an item can change at the discretion of RR Auction.

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

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

Section 6 Payment 6.1 Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than sixty (60) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder.

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

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

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

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

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

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

der’s property in their possession.

6.9 All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC.

Section 11 Conducting the Auction

Section 7 Sales Tax

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.

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

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.

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

11.3 Reserves

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.

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,

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

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

Section 12 RR Auction’s Remedies Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of material breach or default.

In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies.

Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than

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

Section 13 Warranties 13.1 RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold ”as is” and “where is”. By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) related to the item, or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

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

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

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

Section 14 Firearms RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm.

Section 15 Unauthorized Statements Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR

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

Section 16 Bidder’s Remedies 16.1 Except as stated expressly herein, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy related to or pertaining to items it bids upon, views, or purchases from RR Auction, and any claims by Bidder related to authenticity, ownership, condition, title or value, shall be against Consignor only.

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

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

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

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

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

(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.

Section 18

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:

Section 19 Entire Agreement

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

clause itself and the remainder of the Agreement shall be valid to the fullest extent allowed. Also, to the extent other states law apply to any transaction arising out of the Agreement (without admitting such), RR Auction states: For Residents of California: SALE OF AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLES: AS REQUIRED BY LAW, A DEALER WHO SELLS TO A CONSUMER ANY COLLECTIBLE DESCRIBED AS BEING AUTOGRAPHED MUST PROVIDE A WRITTEN EXPRESS WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF SALE. THIS DEALER MAY BE SURETY BONDED OR OTHERWISE INSURED TO ENSURE THE AUTHENTICITY OF ANY AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLE SOLD BY THIS DEALER. A written express warranty is provided with each autographed collectible, as required by law. This dealer may be surety bonded or otherwise insured to ensure the authenticity of any autographed collectible sold by this dealer.

Section 22 Glossary of Condition terms Information provided to prospective Bidders with respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by RR Auction.

Use of the following terms constitutes an opinion as follows: VERY FINE describes an item believed to be in virtually flawless condition, and is used sparingly for items of exceptionally attractive appearance.

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

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

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

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

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