Robert S. Eaton Sr. 1940–2001

Beatles

Exceptionally rare fully signed Hoffman photo 7001. Beatles Signed Photograph. Sensational

vintage glossy 7 x 9 original group photo of the Beatles by photojournalist Dezo Hoffman, showing the Fab Four in their early mod-style collarless suits, signed in black ballpoint, “Paul McCartney” and “Ringo Starr,” in blue ballpoint, “John Lennon,” and in black ink, “George Harrison.” In very good condition, with scattered overall creasing trimmed edges, and tape remnants to top and bottom edges of reverse. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, in part: “These signatures date from early 1964, right around the time when The Beatles first came to American to play on the Ed Sullivan show.

Beatles signed collarless suit photos are extremely rare and desirable.”

Eager to distance the band from their leather-clad past, manager Brain Epstein commissioned Beatles tailor Dougie Millings to create a more refined and modish style for his young Beatles upstarts.

Topped with their trademark collarless jackets, the resulting slim-fitting suits were first worn by the Beatles on stage and for television appearances in early 1963. By the time the Beatles played the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964, and their subsequent first concert on American soil at the Washington Coliseum two days later, the Fab Four and their clean-cut image had sparked an international phenomenon soon to be deemed the British Invasion. Fully autographed Hoffman photos showing the band in their collarless suits remain tremendously sought after by collectors, especially signed directly on the iconic image. Pre-certified REAL.

The Fab Four in ‘63, with Lennon signing twice

7002. Beatles Signed Photograph. Vintage glossy 8 x 10 Radio Times merchandizing photo of the Fab Four posing with Lennon’s Rickenbacker 325, signed in blue ballpoint, “George Harrison,” “Paul McCartney,” “Ringo Starr, xx,” and “John Lennon,” who signs a second time in the lower right, “John.” Reverse bears copyright text for Radio Times. In very good condition, with creasing to the upper and lower left corners, heavy creasing to the right side passing through the end of Lennon’s full signature and McCartney’s signature, and a tear to the right edge touching Lennon’s hair; fair contrast to the lower Lennon signature against his dark suit. Consignor notes that the signatures were obtained by Beatles fan Patricia Dean, who entered a competition held by the UK newspaper Disco to win tickets to meet the Beatles after they performed at Cambridge’s Regal Cinema on November 26, 1963. In spite of the condition, this is a fantastic, fully signed photo with crisp signatures and a great, uncommon image. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $1000

In very good to fine condition, with a central vertical fold, edge wear and surface loss to right edge, an ownership signature above McCartney’s, and some light foxing (mainly to reverse).

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: “This booklet was issued for the visit by the Beatles to St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands in August 1963.

A friend and I attended two of their concerts and having found where they were staying, we left our copies on the desk in the hotel foyer. George Harrison came back earlier…and kindly signed his name plus three xxx’s! John, Paul and Ringo duly arrived and signed all the programs, of which there were possibly a dozen…The Beatles could be seen driving around freely on the island in their convertible and would often stop to offer people a ride. This happened to us in the area of St. Brelade’s bay, but we declined as we were going in the opposite direction!” The Fab Four played a series of five shows on the Channel Islands between the dates of August 6th and 10th, with a lone show at Guernsey’s Candie Gardens bookended by four performances at Jersey’s The Springfield Ballroom. Only a few days prior, the Beatles had played at the Cavern Club for the final time. With Hoffman imagery and a crisp cast of signatures, this is an immensely desirable program signed during the nascent stages of Beatlemania. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $2500

This is how she, and her associates, collected signatures and photos.” The world premiere of A Hard Day’s Night was a momentous event and an early birthday present for Starr, who turned twenty-four the following day. The Beatles’ first film proved to be a huge commercial and critical success, adding even greater momentum to the Beatlemania spectacle. A unique combination of famous signers, each a notable figure in the realm of British entertainment. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $500

Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. On September 12, 1967, the Beatles arrived in Newquay to film scenes for their upcoming made-for-TV short-film Magical Mystery Tour. Their brief two-week production period is noted as being one of the last times the band was openly accessible to the public, stopping at various countryside hotels and establishments throughout filming.

John came through passport control after the other 3 Beatles and Brian, hence he is not on the same page in the book as it was filled by the others.” Backed by great provenance, this is an exceptionally crisp set of signatures enhanced furthermore by the presence of Epstein, their trusted manager and band-appointed fifth Beatle.

Lengthy letter addressed to his former girlfriend Sheila Garbe, in part: “It occurs to me that you will wonder why I am writing-that is if you ever open the letter. Well I [am] writing for no other reason than that I would like to write to you from time to time, providing of course you don’t mind, I would even like you to me, telling me how you are getting on, the kind of things you are doing for example...You will remember me telling you about some commissions for portraits that have materialized, well I am doing one at the moment of a young girl who lives in Childwall...I am getting £20 for this, and at least another commissions immediately after this...Another thing is that I am getting either a small car or a motor bike in about three weeks. The only reason I might get another bike instead of a car is that it takes so long to learn to drive and get a license, also every friend you have immediately thinks that you are some kind of unpaid taxi...I have finished that portrait of yours and framed it. I think the likeness is very good.

In fact I was amazed at the way it came so easily and quickly and everyone who has seen say it is like you.” In fine condition, with central intersecting folds, paperclip holes to top left edge and scattered creasing. On the constant urging of roommate and Liverpool College of Art classmate John Lennon, Stuart Sutcliffe joined The Quarrymen in late January 1960, purchasing a bass guitar with money he earned from selling one of his paintings. Along with Lennon, Sutcliffe is credited with creating the band name ‘Beetles,’ an ode to Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $300

One-of-a-kind RCA reference recordings for King Creole 7072. Elvis Presley Pair of 33 RPM King of Creole Reference Recordings. Exceedingly

rare pair of raw and unedited RCA Victor 33 rpm reference recordings created for the motion picture King Creole, complete with talking and pre-recording voice labeling in which Elvis can be heard speaking with fellow musicians and singers between songs. The first record bears an RCA Victor ‘Reference Recording’ label annotated in ballpoint, “J-100A, Elvis Presley,” with the second similarly labeled and annotated, “J-100B, Elvis Presley.” These records hold the songs and music used in the making of the movie, and this is the one-of-a-kind ‘producer’s reference’ set given to Elvis after its completion; the only other copy of this album is the master set in the RCA Victor audio archives. Upon receiving the records, Elvis presented them to his close friends Sgt. William A. Norwood and his wife Olly. In overall fine but fragile condition. A compact disc copy of the recording is included.

King Creole, released in 1958, was the fourth feature film of Elvis Presley’s career and debuted to both commercial and critical success; Elvis would also later say that his role as Danny Fisher was his favorite of all the characters he portrayed in film.

The soundtrack was well-received at home and abroad, with the album reaching number one in the UK and the single ‘Hard Headed Woman’ topping the Billboard charts to become the first rock and roll single to earn an RIAA Gold Record. These unique reference recordings from the production of King Creole are thus not only incredibly rare Elvis materials, but hold a significant place in rock and roll history as a whole.

Bob Dylan

Exceedingly rare 1962 Dylan set list, including “The Street, Low Down Ways, Let Me Die”

7078. Bob Dylan Signature and Partial Handwritten Set List. Two scarce items: a felt tip signature, “Bob Dylan,” on an

off-white 4.25 x 3.75 lined sheet; and a rare circa 1962 handwritten partial set list in pencil on a 2.5 x 6.25 sheet filled with doodles.

The remaining portion of the set list reads: “The Street, Low Down Ways, Let Me Die,” with vertical writing near the bottom, “People are, people can’t see, what you want.” Both sides of the sheet are filled with pencil doodles. In overall very good to fine condition, with absent upper left portion to list and mild toning to signature.

The remarkable, extremely rare set list surely refers to the songs ‘Man On The Street,’ ‘Quit Your Low Down Ways,’ and ‘Let Me Die In My Footsteps.’ It seems that Dylan rarely performed any of these songs live, and the only record of him playing any of them together was at the Finjan Club in Montreal on July 2, 1962, where he played both ‘Quit Your Low Down Ways’ and ‘Let Me Die In My Footsteps.’ Recordings of all three also appear on the Witmark Demos bootleg. A unique offering from the great enigmatic singer-songwriter, whose autographic material is very scarce. Precertified REAL. Starting Bid $500

In fine, folded condition, with scattered creases and tiny separations along small portions on folds. Accompanied by a color 3.25 x 3.25 candid photo of Hendrix taken at the time of signing, as well as a Playboy signed by Uschi Obermaier, whom Hendrix shared a brief affair, as well as two photos of Obermaier with filmmaker and then boyfriend Rainer Langhans.

Consignor notes that the Experience autographs were obtained outside Berlin’s Kempinski Hotel on January 23, 1969.

Following their concert at Berlin’s Sportpalast, the members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience returned to the Kempinski Hotel and caroused with numerous partygoers in the lounge area. Among the many women in attendance was Obermaier, a German fashion model and member of Kommune 1, a far-left political commune that soon called Hendrix its most famous guest.

By that point, Hendrix and the Experience had been in Europe for nearly three weeks, playing several Scandinavian and West Germany dates in support of the band’s third and final album, Electric Ladyland. Given the band’s scarcity across all formats, a fully signed Jimi Hendrix Experience poster serves as a true musical rarity and a must-have for all serious Hendrix collectors.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: “In November of 1968, my sister Melinda had a flight from New York to L.A. On the flight roster of important people was the name Jimi Hendrix...She introduced herself & told him she wa s a fan of his & had a brother that really liked his music also. But she was too embarrassed to ask for his autograph...she finally asked him but he said he was a little busy right then...As he was leaving the plane, he went up to my sister and apologized... and said give me your brother’s address and I will send him my autograph. A few days later I received a letter and autograph from Jimi Hendrix.” This incredibly rare letter comes from a significant time in Hendrix’s career-on November 16, 1968, his recently released album Electric Ladyland hit number one on the Billboard charts. Despite his wild success and wilder lifestyle-with nearly any woman he pleased at his fingertips-Hendrix was so enamored with the recipient’s sister that he decided to sit down, compose, and send this incredible letter. Boasting quintessentially ‘out of sight’ content from the iconic rock star, this is an extraordinary piece.

Jimi Hendrix | February 16, 2017 35

Full Experience lineup dating to the 1969 Royal Albert Hall gigs

7084. Jimi Hendrix Experience Signed Program. Extremely rare program for a concert by the Jimi Hendrix Experience

at London’s Royal Albert Hall on February 18, 1969, 8.25 x 10, eight pages, signed inside on the first page in blue ballpoint

by Jimi Hendrix (adding “Love to you”), Noel Redding, and Mitch Mitchell. Also signed by the members of Redding’s band Fat Mattress, including: Neil Landon, Jim Leverton, Eric Dillon, and one other. In very good condition, with heavy intersecting folds and moderate overall creasing.

Experience manager Mike Jeffrey scheduled a pair of February shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall on the 18th and 24th, with the aim of producing enough quality material to release a live album by the early summer. The twin dates proved a good idea; the preceding European tour had caused further unrest between Hendrix and his band mates, and was marred by several lackluster performances. Jeffrey’s ulterior motive of recording a television special also seemed in jeopardy, and so when the show on the 18th turned out to be a disaster, with Mitchell and Redding sleepwalking through the set, the show of the 24th proved the savior. Much to Jeffrey’s delight, the band entire showed up for the second concert, with Hendrix throwing out the set list and playing several original blues numbers and a rare encore with Traffic’s Dave Mason and Chris Wood, and percussionist Rocki Dzidzornu. These were the final UK concerts consisting of the original Experience lineup. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $1000

signed inside by a slew of British rock bands, with two members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience signing on a single page, “Love Always, Jimi Hendrix,” and “Noel Redding, xx,” and two members of The Who on individual pages, “Keith Moon,” and “John Entwistle.” Hendrix also sketches a small heart below his signature.

Fantastic 1967 handbill signed by the little-known opening act—Jimi Hendrix 7086. Jimi Hendrix Signed Handbill. Rare signed handbill for a Jimi Hendrix concert held at the Capitol Theatre in Cardiff, Wales, on April 26, 1967, 5.5 x 9, signed and inscribed on the reverse in blue ballpoint, “to Susan, Love & Happiness forever, Jimi Hendrix,” who has added “to” below. Top edge bears a collector’s date notation. In very good condition, with a trimmed bottom edge, a clipped upper right corner tip and toned adhesive remnants to top edge, a mounting remnant to lower right corner tip, and scattered folds and creases (affecting a portion of the inscription and the top of the signature). Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and an e-mail from the original recipient, in part: “I was on my way home from school and happened to look towards a lake near where I lived and Jimi Hendrix was in a rowing boat. His roadey was actually doing the rowing. He rowed over towards the bank where I was standing and Jimi signed the flyer. I asked him to dedicate Hey Joe to me (as I was going to the concert that evening) and after he sang it, he said it was for Sue who I met this afternoon.”

Accompanied by a copy of a photo of Hendrix sitting backstage with Cat Stevens, Humperdinck, and Gary Walker.

Buried behind the chart-topping Walker Brothers, Cat Stevens, and Engelbert Humperdinck, the Jimi Hendrix Experience received modest billing on their stop at Cardiff’s Capitol Theatre on April 26th. By the time they returned for their second show there in November of the same year, they were one of the most sought-after tickets in live music, soaring high off the successful debut of Are You Experienced and their now-legendary performance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. A remarkable early handbill-uncommon and sought-after in its own right-from just months before his rise to rock stardom. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $1000

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from original recipient Dennis Handa, in part: “From 1965 through 1973 I owned a music store in Portland, Oregon, called Denny’s Music. Through a friend of mine we became the main source of furnishing stage equipment for major concert tours in the Northwest USA. In the 60’s–early 70’s bands typically would bring their personal gear but would send a Rider ahead requesting what they needed for onstage gear. This was before the big trucks, lighting etc...My store had an arrangement with Sunn Amplifiers and Fender to furnish gear for the Concerts as part of a PR program for the companies.” The first concert Denny’s supported was a Jimi Hendrix Experience, Vanilla Fudge, and Soft Machine showcase at Portland’s Memorial Stadium in September 1968, with Handa attesting that he obtained the signatures backstage after the concert. When Led Zeppelin arrived in the northwest in December 1968, Denny’s received a call stating that snowy roads had prevented the band’s personal gear to arrive at their next gig at Portland’s Civic Auditorium. Handa agreed to provide instruments and the band showed up at his store later that day, with Page choosing an Epiphone Casino guitar, Bonham a Ludwig drum set, and Jones a Fender Precision bass. After selecting their equipment, the band and Handa celebrated at a local pub: “I remember everyone looking at them strange, thinking they were just some hippies...They were very young and this was at the start of their career and US tours.” Handa obtained their autographs when he collected the instruments. That same month, Denny’s arranged equipment at Portland’s Elk Temple for Deep Purple, furnishing the band with Fender gear and hanging with them after the concert in a back room where the band played an impromptu concert and Handa obtained their autographs.

Additionally, Handa notes that both the Canned Heat and Buffalo Springfield signatures were obtained after concerts Denny’s had supplied with extra stage gear. Given the period of these signatures and the successive impact each of these bands would have on the domain of classic rock, this is an unprecedented assortment of vintage autographs, boasting some of music’s most sought-after and influential names.

Jimi Hendrix | February 16, 2017 39

Fabulously rare unused cover proof for Electric Ladyland 7088. Jimi Hendrix Experience: Electric Ladyland Alternate Album Cover Proof. Exceedingly rare alter-

nate album cover proof designed for Jimi Hendrix’s 1968 masterpiece Electric Ladyland, 12 x 12.5, portraying Hendrix with Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding, along with psychedelic comic book-style text, “Electric Ladyland, The Jimi Hendrix Experience.” Double-matted and framed to an overall size of 18.5 x 19. In fine condition, with a few mild creases.

This proof was designed by the Warner Bros. Records art department in 1968 as the proposed front cover for Hendrix’s classic double album, but ultimately it was decided to go with the iconic close-up of Hendrix’s head without any text.

The image of Hendrix and his bandmates used on this proof was chosen for the back cover, but the final product used an entirely different, more traditional typeface for the text.

Proofs like these were produced in very small numbers to be reviewed by the artists and record executives to approve prior to manufacture, and this example comes from a Warner Bros. Records executive. Given that only a few other examples are known to have survived, this is an exceptionally desirable, museum-quality Hendrix piece. Starting Bid $300

Rolling Stones | February 16, 2017 43

Velvet pants shared by Jagger, Richards, and Parsons 7097. Mick Jagger, Keith Richard, and Gram Parsons Worn Blue Velvet Pants.

Mick Jagger’s custom-made sage green velvet pants, personally worn and shared by Jagger and band mate Keith Richards, and gifted to musician Gram Parsons circa 1968. The front of the pants consist of two buttons and a zipper, with the rear featuring an adjustable belt.

The waist measures approximately 13˝ across, and the pants, with notable high hem, measure approximately 40˝ in length. In very good condition, with extensive wear from use and some staining to back.

Accompanied by a copy of a letter of provenance from John Nuese, a close friend of Parsons and a founding member of the International Submarine Band, dated October 24, 2007, who lists them as “Blue velvet pants, custom made for Mick Jagger, used

by Mick and Keith Richards, then given by Mick to Gram Parsons.” Also accompanied by five images: one of Jagger wearing the pants; another showing the pants displayed with two images of the pants being worn on different occasions by Jagger and Richard, the latter sitting with Parsons in the back of a convertible; a third depicting Richards and Parsons in conversation; and two others of Richards and Parsons at Joshua Tree, the location Parsons later died. The high hem of the lower pant leg can be plainly identified in the convertible and Joshua Tree photos, and very clearly match the same pants offered here. The item is also accompanied by various written materials relating to the pants and Parson’s connection and musical relationships with both Nuese and the Rolling Stones.

Nuese is widely credited with introducing Parsons to country music while the latter was a student at Harvard University in 1966. The pair formed the country rock outfit The International Submarine Band, and released one full-length album, Safe at Home, before Parsons joined The Byrds roughly two years later. Unsettled by the band’s upcoming concert tour of apartheid South Africa, Parsons left the Byrds during a tour of England in summer 1968 and, with nowhere to go, moved in with Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. The pair developed a close relationship that included clothes swapping and countless hours of playing obscure, heart-tugging country songs. In the book Twenty Thousand Roads: The Ballad of Gram Parsons and his Cosmic American Music, Pamela Des Barres, a mutual friend of Parsons and Richards, is quoted as saying: ‘Gram and Keith were kind of in love. I’m sure they never did anything physical, but they had this incredible mutual admiration society. They understood each other and wanted to take parts of each other and make them their own…They took different pieces of clothing from each other and traded. Gram started wearing makeup like Keith and Keith started wearing Nudie bells. It was incredible to watch.’

Unfortunately, much of Parson’s willingness to enjoy the Rolling Stones lifestyle attributed to increased drug use, his ousting from The Flying Burrito Brothers, and a prolonged lapse in original material. Parsons passed away at the age of twenty-six from an overdose of morphine and alcohol. These pants, worn by three legitimate heroes of the 1960s rock landscape, neatly tie together the intimacy shared by Parsons and his friends in the Rolling Stones. Starting Bid $1000

Vivid pair of one-of-a-kind 1989 Rolling Stones poster designs 7103. Rolling Stones Pair of Gary Grimshaw Original Artwork.

Original pair of circa 1989 hand-colored preliminary designs for Rolling Stones posters by psychedelic artist Gary Grimshaw, both accomplished on artist’s boards with a mixture of ink, paint, and colored pencil and marker around affixed cutout images of the band. The first piece, 9.75 x 14.25, shows the band with their instruments playing above silver shadows, the band’s logo outlined in red, with “Silver Anniversary” barely visible in the black lower portion; the second, 10 x 15, features the band posing together with sunglasses, the band’s logo filled in red, with the lower portion listing the supporting act, “Living Colour,” and concert information, “October 25-26-28-29, Shea Stadium.”

Pencil notations immediately below the band read: “Steel Wheels Tour—1989.” Both boards are signed twice along the bottom in black ink by Grimshaw, who adds “1989 ArtRock.” In overall fine condition. Grimshaw initially made his name as the main poster artist for Detroit’s Grande Ballroom. Influenced by Stanley Mouse, Rick Griffin, and Victor Moscoso, Grimshaw has earned his own place within the rock and roll art scene by producing psychedelic posters for bands like Cream, The Who, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. These preliminary mock-ups were created for the Rolling Stones in order to gain their approval for poster production—unfortunately, however, they were not approved and therefore never printed. Overall, this is wonderful, unique original artwork by one of rock’s most esteemed artists. Starting Bid $200

Grateful Dead

Stunning original 1979 enameled gold ‘Steal Your Face’ pendant

by Owsley ‘Bear’ Stanley 7120. Grateful Dead Gold ‘Steal Your Face’ Pendant By Owsley Stanley.

Beautiful circa 1979 circular Grateful Dead ‘Steal Your Face’ pendant made

by Owsley ‘Bear’ Stanley, .9999 gold and enamel, measuring .75˝ in diameter, 13.6 grams, engraved on the reverse, “Apr. 1979, OS.” In fine condition, with tiny imperfections to enamel on the right side.

Owsley ‘Bear’ Stanley was a central figure in the 1960s San Francisco music scene and in the history of the Grateful Dead.

He began as an LSD manufacturer and later became involved in operating the Grateful Dead’s soundboard, pioneering cutting-edge sound systems and archiving hundreds of their live shows. He began working with gold and enamel in 1977, and originally gave this piece to the consignor in 1979. The consignor met Bear in spring 1978 when working the soundboard for opening acts at a Robert Hunter show. There was a ‘technical delay’ before Hunter came on, and he found that the sound equipment had been disassembled and was being put back together by Bear, who did not like the way it was wired. Bear later showed him some of the enameled jewelry he was working on, and said he was making something that might be of special interest. The following spring, the consignor purchased this ‘Steal Your Face’ pendant from Bear at a Grateful Dead show. An early example of one of Bear’s legendary enamel pendants, this is an incredibly desirable piece. Starting Bid $1000

Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin’s fully signed 1969 debut 7138. Led Zeppelin Signed Album.

Amazing self-titled album crisply signed on the front cover in blue ballpoint by Jimmy Page, and on the back cover in blue ballpoint by Robert Plant, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones. In fine condition, with a few small creases. The record is not included. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a letter of provenance from the original recipient, reading, in part: “After the concert ended the band left the stage followed by the bouncer. The bouncer then came back across the stage over to us and said Led Zeppelin had invited us backstage to meet...I remember Robert Plant seemed to take a fancy to me (I was 17 years old at the time) and we ‘snogged’ and he chatted for a while. He said he’d like to take me home—I didn’t know if he was serious or not but I had a boyfriend... so I just laughed it off. However he signed my LP cover and kindly passed it to the rest of the band.” Obtained backstage at the Liverpool Stadium on November 29, 1971, this remarkable album is perhaps the most pristine fully signed example we’ve ever offered, and made rarer still by the generational attitude, a period in which autograph-seeking had grown passe within musical and counterculture fandom.

A true piece of rock history signed by all four original band members while the band were on tour promoting their newest material, the landmark Led Zeppelin IV album.

Also included is a Dunhill Rollalite lighter given to Riccardi by Garland, engraved on the top, “Ricky, Love Judy, Palace 1951.” Additionally included are two programs, one listing Riccardi as one of the performers in Judy’s show and signed by him and the other back-up performers; the other program includes an image of him dancing with her during a show.

In overall fine condition, with the cover of the signed program missing.

Garland’s performances at the Palace were triumphant and received rave reviews—her show lasted for nineteen weeks, breaking all box office records.

After her NYC finale on February 24, 1952, Judy went to California to play a four-week engagement at the Los Angeles Philharmonic and, lastly, San Francisco’s Curran Theater from May 26, though June 22, 1952. Based on the tracks this original reel-to-reel tape contains (which includes favorites Get Happy and Over the Rainbow), this was more than likely recorded at the Curran, during an unidentified night of her brief run—a potentially unique offering. Her final night in San Francisco was documented on the 1993 CD Judy Garland in Concert: The Beginning and the End, now out of print. Accompanied by a CD transfer of the tape’s complete 54 minute recording. A remarkable assemblage from this historic period of Garland’s career.Starting Bid $200

Please for give my new single! ‘Love is Blue.’ But Mickie Most (my producer) think its a smash for me in Britain as it is No. 1 in U.S.A. I hope you like my version best. There are 8! The flipside is more my scene. A song that Rod [Stewart] and myself wrote. Maybe you could plug it for us! I’m so pleased that you and Mary are cool again...What day is Mary’s birthday! I can’t remember...I still care about her very much. But I try not to think about it for very obvious reasons.

Is the new ‘Beach Boys’ album out over there can you get one I heard it supposed to be fantastic...I had an idea, if I find an offer of a hot-rod in a magazine I’ll cut out the ad, and send it, then perhaps we can go from there.” He adds an interesting postscript in the lower right, “Judging by your drawing I’d say that guitar is a Gibson ‘Flying Arrow’—Hendrix has one.” In fine condition.

There wasn’t really any security before the concert. I knew where the dressing room was and wandered down there before the concert…and hung around in the dressing room until people started going out for the concert.

Tommy was first released by The Who in 1969, an album they envisioned as a singular ‘rock opera,’ telling the story of a ‘deaf, dumb and blind kid.’ In 1975, it was adapted for the screen with a star-studded cast that included members of The Who, AnnMargret, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Elton John, and Jack Nicholson. Pete Townshend oversaw the production of an entirely new Tommy album for the soundtrack, this time using synthesizers to create orchestral arrangements he had envisioned and taking advantage of the available musicians. These original call sheets, signed by key members of The Who and their co-stars, are a truly awesome relic of one of The Who’s most ambitious projects. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $500

The Joey Ramone Collection The famed Ramones front man and countercultural icon who defined punk for a generation, Joey Ramone is a larger-than-life figure in the history of rock music. The Ramones burst onto the New York music scene and took it by storm—their unbridled energy and frenetic pace was unlike anything that had come before. Most of their songs were under two minutes, and entire sets might last only twenty. Joey Ramone was crucial to their initial success—he was the one front man on the burgeoning New York punk scene that was unique, the rest mere carbon copies of each other. He had a distinct style—long black hair, leather jacket, sunglasses—to match what would become one of the most recognizable voices in punk.

It is hard to quantify the lasting effect of the Ramones on music and culture in general. Music historian Jon Savage wrote that their debut album “remains one of the few records that changed pop forever,” while critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine declared that their “first four albums set the blueprint for punk.” In an article for Slate, Douglas Wolk named the Ramones “easily the most influential group of the last 30 years.” Of all members of the band, Joey Ramone stands out in particular—he was the face of the group and molded their unique sound. In remembering Ramone, MTV called him the “iconic godfather of punk.” It is not often that the opportunity arises to purchase items directly from a legend’s estate, and these items come with impeccable provenance—directly from Ramone’s brother and sometime musical partner, Mickey Leigh. In addition to working on his own projects, Leigh recorded backing vocals for a number of Ramones songs, including ‘Blitzkrieg Bop.’

Touring overseas with Joey Ramone— the singer’s 1981–1986 passport 7266. Joey Ramone’s 1981 Signed Passport. Joey Ramone’s personal pass-

port, number 020037426, issued on October 7, 1981. Passport measures 3.25 x 5, and contains his typed personal information with affixed 1.25 x 1.75 passport snapshot on the inside of the front cover, signed vertically on the adjacent page in blue ballpoint with his given name, “Jeff Hyman.” Balance of the pages bear visa stamps from around the world, dated between 1981 and 1986, including those from Denmark, Scotland, and France. In fine condition, with expected wear. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the Joey Ramone Estate.

The Ramones’ tireless work ethic in the studio and on the road resulted in four albums between the years of 1981 and 1986, with subsequent tours both home and abroad supporting their billing as one of music’s hardest working bands. The release of 1981’s Pleasant Dreams heard the band tackle a more heavy metal style, while 1983 follow-up Subterranean Jungle was a more raw, throwback album made notable by the exit of drummer Marky Ramone and the entrance of Richie Ramone, who added new life to the band’s 1984 release Too Tough to Die. By the time the Ramones had released and toured for their 1986 record Animal Boy, the group had played roughly 500 shows across thirteen countries. An important personal effect used by the band’s influential front man. Pre-certified REAL. Starting Bid $1000

Joey Ramone Collection | February 16, 2017 97

Unique Japanese guitar owned by Joey Ramone 7267. Joey Ramone’s Personal Guitar. Joey Ramone’s personally-owned and -used turquoise-colored Kurosawa Marine Rider right-handed electric guitar with built-in amp and speaker and pearloid pickguard. Guitar is missing whammy bar and battery cover on reverse is partially cracked. Includes leather strap. In fine condition.

Although Joey Ramone never traditionally played an instrument during his career with the Ramones, the lanky front man did, on occasion, write songs on the guitar. According to bassist CJ Ramone, during the late ‘70s and early 1980s, Joey dabbled with a one-string acoustic guitar before he was turned on to open chord tuning and began experimenting with a black Ibanez guitar. While little is known about the Kurosawa guitar company, the Marine Rider is exclusively made and sold in Japan, and was likely purchased by Joey Ramone during one of the band’s five Japanese tours in the early-to-mid 1990s. Interestingly, the guitar’s pickup is reminiscent to the style found on a Mosrite guitar, the signature instrument of Johnny Ramone. Starting Bid $1000

The Monte A. Melnick Ramones Collection For over two decades, Monte A. Melnick, a native of Forest Hills, New York, and a childhood friend of original Ramones drummer Tommy (Ramone) Erdelyi, assumed the enviable task of being the full-time tour manager of the Ramones. As the band’s sound evolved, so did Monte’s job title, and it wasn’t long before he took upon other default roles such as soundman, stage manager, road manager, personal chauffeur, road crew handler, and the personal assistant to the band’s lanky leading frontman, Joey Ramone. If the Ramones needed something done, rest assured that Monte was the man to see it through.

In addition to all of the sights, sounds, stories, and scars accrued over most of the 2,263 live performances, Monte amassed a once-ina-lifetime collection of memorabilia related to the world’s most popular and influential punk rock band. From backstage passes and leather gloves to signed photos, albums, US and international posters, Monte’s collection spans shabby nightclubs, soldout festivals, the seat-shaking anthem spray-painted with a surname every young musician wanted as their own—Ramone.

Monte A. Melnick is also the author of “On The Road with the Ramones,” a book in which several of the here-offered items are pictured. The Ramones are the seminal punk rock band, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, Grammy & MTV’s Lifetime Achievement Award winners and inductees into The Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry.

Prince THE THERESE STOULIL COLLECTION | LOTS 7406-7438

“

He was an extremely smart, articulate man with a very, very quick wit. He was driven by his creativity— there was always the next record, the next video, the next tour—it was 24/7. I will treasure those memories as well as the lifelong friendships I have to this day because of Prince and working at Paisley Park

”

Therese Stoulil was hired by PRN Productions as Production Coordinator in 1986 and spent the next decade working for Prince. When he moved into Paisley Park in 1987, Stoulil’s first project was cataloguing all recordings before filing them in the vault. On most mornings, she came to work to find a cassette on her desk signaling her to type up the lyrics of a song he had recorded the night before. In 1989, she would become Prince’s personal assistant and handle all elements of his personal and professional life until 1996. In these positions, she had the privilege of listening to nearly everything Prince recorded from 1986–1996. In addition to working on hundreds of unreleased recordings, she worked on the Batman soundtrack, Graffiti Bridge, Sign o’ the Times, the Black Album, and Diamonds and Pearls.

The only visible signs of Prince are a trophy case in the lobby and this private room in the basement filled with commemorative platinum albums, photos and framed posters.

Archivist Therese Stoulil files recordings inside the adjacent vault.

“Miles!” writes to Prince, complete with musical sketches and a self-portrait 7473. Miles Davis Handwritten and Twice-Signed Note to Prince. Cryptic ALS signed twice, “miles!,” one page, 6 x 8.75, no

date. Letter written to Prince by Miles Davis, in part: “Happy Birth Day. Sorry I missed the concert. Kiss! 1. Business! 2. When do we record?

In very good condition, with intersecting folds and scattered creasing. From the collection of costume designer Helen Hiatt.

Davis’s sketches are especially interesting, as they seem to be related to his music. The leftmost drawing looks like a treble clef and stave, while the sketch in the upper right appears to be a self-portrait—it is a figure facing left and holding a trumpet, with the abstract instrument reduced to its circular bell and three valves. Prince and Davis had much in common—both musical geniuses with enigmatic personas, obsessed with the perfection of their craft. Prince admired Davis as one of his musical heroes, and after Davis’s reemergence on the scene in the early ’80s he looked to Prince as the future of popular music.

In his autobiography published in 1990, Davis—typically a harsh critic—offered tremendous praise for Prince, writing, ‘He can be the new Duke Ellington of our time if he just keeps at it.’ They collaborated during the late 1980s and early 1990s, and were in the process of working together when Davis passed in 1991. A truly remarkable piece connecting two of the most innovative artists in music history.

THE ELIZABETH MOORE COLLECTION | LOTS 7514-7516

“

Writing about my time with Prince, gives me an opportunity to revitalize the magic he shared. His presence on this planet had a powerful impact on all who encountered him...Whether you heard him on the radio, or were standing next to him playing on stage, he had a profound influence on who you were, he had a keen ability to encourage others in becoming their creative best.

”

Elizabeth Moore began her career with Prince as a catering server during the Purple Rain Tour rehearsals in September of 1984 just after she received her BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art. By late October of that year her serving duties expanded into attending to Prince’s dressing room and shortly after was asked to go on tour as his personal Wardrobe Assistant.

Prince was a source of inspiration to Elizabeth’s art. As their relationship grew, he entrusted her to be in charge of designing and decorating his many extravagant events. She worked creatively and intimately with Prince to design his personal invitations and greeting cards, the original artwork for which is offered here.

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”).

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 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. This acknowledgement is a material term of these Conditions of Sale and of the consideration under which RR Auction agrees to these terms.

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 (“RRauction.com”). 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.

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’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.

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

Credit: In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit 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.

Credit will be granted at the 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 their social security number, or the last four digits thereof, so a credit check may be performed 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.

Buyer’s Premium: The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 22.5% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed Auctions (the “Buyer’s Timed Premium”), and a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on live Auctions (the “Buyer’s Live Premium,” together with the Buyer’s Timed Premium, the “Buyer’s Premium”). For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later. All purchases delivered to Massachusetts are subject to applicable Massachusetts sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number.

Bidding: Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s), rather than the strict reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF VALUATION CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES. RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

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

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

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

Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction

a purchase money security interest in such sums or items to the extent applicable, and agrees to execute such documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest.

Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Payment: Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibil-

ity (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein.

All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than thirty (30) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder.

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

All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders), and are subject to all reporting requirements.

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

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

If RR Auction refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys.

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

All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges: Bidder is liable for shipping and handling. RR Auction is unable to

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

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

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

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

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

RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments.

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

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

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

RR Auction’s Remedies: Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of default. In such

event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any property in RR Auction’s possession owned by such Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Warranties: RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold “as is” and “where is”.

By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

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

Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each lot

prior to bidding, and RR Auction urges Bidders to avail themselves accordingly.

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

Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the Certification of Authenticity, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. The Certification of Authenticity is valid from date of the Auction in which Bidder was awarded the lot (the “Auction Date”) until five (5) years after the Auction Date, without exception.

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

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

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

Bidder’s Remedies: Under no circumstance will RR Auction incur liability to a Bidder in excess of the purchase price actually paid.

This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder in conformity with the Warranties and Limitation of Damages provisions of these Conditions of Sale, and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law. The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, in the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction shall make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other

amounts paid or due to RR Auction). Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand, RR Auction shall disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and assign to Bidder all of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and assignment, all responsibility and liability, if any, of RR Auction with respect to said lot or property shall automatically terminate. RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction - this remedy is as to the Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances.

If Bidder wishes to challenge the AC within the period of the Certification of Authenticity, Bidder must present written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field. If RR Auction agrees that the lot is not as represented, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be a refund of their purchase price, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable. If RR Auction does not agree with the claim by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale.

Any such challenge concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Bidder’s notice to RR Auction of Bidder’s contention that the lot was not authentic, or six (6) years from the Auction Date, whichever is sooner.

If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), the lot is returnable if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and the AC, then the description in the AC shall control. This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received

by RR Auction.

NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE. RR Auction’s Additional Services: For Bidders who do not remove purchased property from RR Auction’s premises, RR Auction, in its sole discretion and solely as a service and accommodation to Bidders, may arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded at the sole request, expense, and risk of Bidder. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for damage to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice, RR Auction will include an administration charge.

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

Entire Agreement: These Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement between the parties together with the terms and conditions contained in the Registration Form. They may not be amended, modified or superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties. No oral or written statement by anyone employed by RR Auction or acting as agent or representative of RR Auction may amend, modify, waive or supersede the terms herein unless such amendment, waiver or modification is contained in a writing signed by all parties.

If any section of these Conditions of Sale or any term or provision of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court

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

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

The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, and any other related agreement(s) are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles.

The Parties agree that any dispute related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale, or related to or arising out of any other related agreement(s) shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before a single Arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The Parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the AAA. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. The Parties agree that Bidder shall have no right to recover consequential or indirect damages, or lost profits damages.

The Parties consent to the enforcement of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in either the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.

Except as provided in Bidder’s Remedies with regard to the Certification of Authenticity, any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other agreement(s) between the Parties must be brought within one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances giving rise to the alleged claim, without exceptions. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute release of any claims after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding on all parties in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-actions brought by either RR Auction or Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration related to or arising out of any Auction of an item sold for less than $10,000. This right shall relate to the individual item price, such that RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration for items that in the aggregate exceed $10,000. The prevailing Party in such a proceeding shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the proceeding, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. This right of enforcement is unique to RR Auction, and these Conditions of Sale are a waiver by the Bidder of any right to enforcement or adjudication outside of an Arbitration.

CONDUCT OF AUCTION Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 7324280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading).

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

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

Maximum Bids – All Auctions: To maximize Bidder’s chance of winning, RR Auction strongly encourages the use of maximum bids. RR Auction will then bid for Bidder until the lot reaches Bidder’s specified maximum. Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, 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.

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.

Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. RR Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction.

Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.

Bidding—Timed Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing.

RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

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

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

Bidding - Internet – Live Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing.

RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.

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

Property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction.

The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

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

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

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.

GLOSSARY OF CONDITION TERMS FOR DECADES, RR AUCTION HAS LED THE INDUSTRY IN PROVIDING AN ACCURATE AND DETAILED CONDITION STATEMENT FOR EACH ITEM THAT WE SELL. STARTING IN 2016 WE’VE DECIDED TO TAKE A FRESH APPROACH TO DESCRIBING EACH ITEM’S CONDITION. As our website and catalog images continually improve, and bidders can see obvious details from those excellent images, we’ve decided to simplify things, using the same terminology to describe an item’s overall condition (on an ascending scale of 1 to 4: good, very good, fine, very fine), but only adding specific details, if any, that would not be obvious from the illustration.

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

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

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

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

Of course we’re more than happy to provide more in-depth information about any item via phone or email. We hope this new system will make for easier reading and a more pleasant bidding experience.
