Steve Jobs

“DBA Apple Computer Co., Steven Jobs & Stephen Wozniak & Ronald Wayne”— Ultra-early Apple Computer bank check— the sixth ever written—signed and filled out by “steven jobs” in March 1976, four days before the company’s official founding, with the reverse listing the names of Apple’s original three co-founders

6001. Steve Jobs Filled Out and Signed 1976 Apple Computer Co. Check No. 6, Listing the Names of the Company’s Three Original Founders - “Apple Computer Co., Steven Jobs & Stephen Wozniak & Ronald Wayne”. Wells Fargo bank check, 7.5 x 3, filled out and signed by Steve Jobs, “steven jobs,” payable to Pacific Telephone for $47.50, March 28, 1976. This temporary check, issued upon opening Apple’s first bank account, bears the same routing and account numbers as other early Apple Computer Company checks we have offered – most of those, however, date to July 1976 and are imprinted with Apple’s first official address at ‘770 Welch Rd., Ste. 154, Palo Alto’ – the location of an answering service and mail drop that they used while still operating out of the famous Jobs family garage. That very address has been annotated on the check’s reverse in the hand of a bank teller, who also writes the name of the company’s three founders: “DBA Apple Computer Co., Steven Jobs & Stephen Wozniak & Ronald Wayne, 770 Welch Rd., Palo Alto.” In fine condition.

Marked as check “No. 6,” this ultra-early check pre-dates the official founding of Apple Computer, Inc. – just four days later, on April 1, 1976, co-founders Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne would sign the partnership agreement that officially brought Apple Computer into existence. Twelve days after the company’s establishment, Wayne sold his 10% share of the new company back to Jobs and Wozniak for $800, and one year later accepted a final $1,500 to forfeit any potential future claims against the newly incorporated company.

In March 1976, the month of this check, Wozniak had completed work on an innovative microcomputer design – now known as the Apple-1 Computer – and Jobs suggested that they sell it. A desirable Jobs-signed check paying Apple Computer’s telephone bill some 31 years before the release of the first iPhone on June 29, 2007. Of considerable interest and rarity is the check’s listing of the company’s three co-founders, a unique distinction not previously encountered on a Jobs-signed check. Starting Bid $2,500

In July 1976, Steve Jobs writes an early ‘Apple Computer Company’ check to one of his future rivals—IBM

6002. Steve Jobs Signed 1978 ‘Apple Computer Company’ Check to IBM - Filled Out Entirely by the Company’s Co-Founder. Apple Computer Company check, 6 x 3, filled out in type and signed by Jobs, “steven jobs,” payable to IBM for $47.70, July 8, 1976. Headed “Apple Computer Company,” the check is issued as No. 167 and uses Apple’s first official address at “770 Welch Rd., Ste. 154, Palo Alto” — the location of an answering service and mail drop that they used while still operating out of the famous Jobs family garage. In fine condition.

Although it remains unknown why Jobs would write a check to IBM – the modest amount would suggest that the fledgling Apple Computer Company was paying for one of IBM’s many small-business products or services – the connection between IBM and Apple, in particular with Steve Jobs, is well documented. IBM became Apple’s chief adversary on August 12, 1981, when the latter launched the IBM Personal Computer, a more affordable and instantly successful alternative to the Apple II and III computer line.

Apple made a resurgence with the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984, but IBM’s market dominance — aided by the PC’s lower cost, customizability, and open, cloneable architecture – was not to be surpassed for years to come. The Macintosh’s failure to defeat the IBM PC ultimately led to Jobs’s resignation from Apple and the start of his new computing venture, NeXT. Jobs’s disdain for IBM was famously seen in an iconic 1983

photograph of Jobs flipping the bird to an IBM sign in New York City in December 1983, a few weeks before the Mac launch.

During this period in the summer of 1976, roughly four months after founding the Apple Computer Company, Jobs and Wozniak were hard at work building their first product. Initially conceived as a kit to be soldered together by the end user – like most enthusiast computers of the era – the Apple-1 became a finished product at the behest of Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world.

Terrell offered to buy 50 of the computers – at a wholesale price of $500 a piece, to retail at $666.66 – but only if they came fully assembled. With this request, Terrell aimed to elevate the computer from the domain of the hobbyist/enthusiast to the realm of the mainstream consumer. Wozniak later placed Terrell’s purchase order in perspective: ‘That was the biggest single episode in all of the company’s history. Nothing in subsequent years was so great and so unexpected.’

Thus, the Apple-1 was one of the first completely assembled ‘personal’ computers that simply worked out of the box with a few accessories that could be purchased from a local electronics store (a power supply, case, keyboard, and monitor were not included). All together, over a span of 10 months or so, Jobs and Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers and sold 175 of them. Starting Bid $2,500

“Steven P. Jobs, Chairman of the Board, Apple Computer, Inc.”—circa 1985 Apple business card for Steve Jobs, deriving from the estate of noted inventor and electronics engineer Chuck Colby

6003. Steve Jobs Apple Business Card (c. 1985) with Miscellaneous Group of (18) Apple Computer Business Cards - From the Estate of Chuck Colby. Original Apple Computer business card for Steve Jobs as chairman of the board, 3.5 x 2, featuring the company’s colorful rainbow logo. The card’s text reads: “Steven P. Jobs, Chairman of the Board, Apple Computer, Inc., 20525 Mariani Avenue, MS: 3K, Cupertino, California 95014, 408 973-2121 or 996-1010.” Annotated on the reverse by Chuck Colby, an inventor and electronics engineer whose Colby Systems Corporation created the first DVR-based video surveillance systems and pioneered the sale of Macintosh portable computers (including the MacColby and the WalkMac). This card dates to the period when Jobs served as Apple’s chairman from February 1981 until his resignation in September 1985. Although Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, he didn’t reassume the role of chairman until August 24, 2011, the date of his resignation as CEO and some six weeks before his passing.

Includes an additional 18 miscellaneous Apple Computer, Inc. business cards for several engineers, salespeople, and program managers, and one PCMA/Apple business card, most with annotations by Colby. In overall fine condition. Provenance: From the estate of Chuck Colby. Chuck Colby is mentioned in Steve Wozniak’s book, iWoz, as having introduced him to early satellite television, leading to his departure from Apple to form the universal remote control company CL 9. In an email to Colby, Wozniak wrote: ‘You are the greatest inventor I know. I’d gladly trade places. I hope you get more and more recognition.’ Starting Bid $300

Scarce septet of Apple business cards from Jobs’ return to Apple in 1997, when he became “Interim CEO” and “iCEO”

This Apple-1 computer was examined virtually by Apple-1 expert Corey Cohen in May 2022. A comprehensive, technical condition report prepared by Cohen is available to qualified bidders; he evaluates the condition of the unit as 6.5/10 based

on condition and originality. Cohen observes that the board has typical green coat wear for a later NTI Apple-1 and appears in good working order. The computer is recorded as #89 in the Apple-1 Registry, listed as the ‘Schlumberger #2’ Apple-1.

Cohen discusses the computer’s history: “This Apple-1 was sold in 1977 in Rochester, NY from a local Apple reseller to the chief developer of Schlumberger Overseas SA who shipped this Apple-1 to Germany. This was one of two Apple-1 computers purchased at the time. This specific computer may be the first Apple product ever operated outside of North America.” The estate of the original owner offered the Apple-1 at auction through Christie’s in October 2019, but it went unsold. It was subsequently acquired by noted Apple collector Jimmy Grewal, curator of The AAPL Collection in Dubai, and restored to fully operational condition; the board has undergone minor repairs and some board-level components have been replaced. Grewal obtained the autographs of Steve Wozniak and Daniel Kottke, then resold it to an American collector.

The Apple-1 was originally conceived by Steve Jobs and Steve ‘Woz’ Wozniak as a bare circuit board to be sold as a kit and completed by electronics hobbyists, their initial market being Palo Alto’s Homebrew Computer Club. Seeking a larger audience, Jobs approached Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world. Aiming to elevate the computer beyond the realm of the hobbyist, Terrell agreed to purchase 50 Apple-1 computers, but only if they were fully assembled. The Apple-1 thus became one of the first ‘personal’ computers which did not require soldering by the end user. All together, over a span of about ten months, Jobs and Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers and sold 175 of them. The Apple-1 is not only a marvel of early computing ingenuity, but the product that launched what is today one of the most valuable and successful companies in the world. This complete Apple-1 system—enhanced by its museum-quality display board, unique autographs, and robust assortment of accessories—is of the utmost desirability. Starting Bid $10,000

6011. Apple-1 Computer Operation Manual (German reprint, ca. 1992). Early 1990s Apple-approved reproduction of the original vintage Apple-1 Operation Manual issued by the Apple Computer Company circa 1976, 12 pages, 8.5 x 11, printed exclusively for a German developers conference in Frankfurt, Germany, circa 1992. This manual was printed in a limited edition after Uwe Falk, the German head of Apple Developer Support, requested and received permission from Apple headquarters to reproduce the manuals with the same layout and matching paper quality as the originals. These ‘original’ manuals were offered at an Apple-1 showcase, but only a handful of attendees took one as a souvenir. Like the original, this facsimile features Apple’s original logo on the front cover, designed by third Apple co-founder Ron Wayne and showing Isaac Newton thoughtfully seated beneath a tree, with a shining apple dangling overhead. The Operation Manual contains an impressive fold-out schematic of the Apple-1 computer and features information on getting the system up and running, using the system monitor, and expanding the Apple system. Three pages are headed “6502 Hex Monitor Listing” and detail an innovative memory program devised by Steve Wozniak that is commonly called the ‘Woz Monitor.’ In fine condition, with some light toning to edges.

6012. Synertek White Ceramic 6502 Chip. Sought-after early white ceramic 6502 microprocessor by Synertek, with a “7648” date code. Housed in a blue Spartan D-40M socket. In fine condition.

The 6502 is an 8-bit microprocessor introduced by MOS Technology in 1975, known for its low cost and simplicity. In the early days of the 6502, it was second-sourced by Rockwell and Synertek, and later licensed to other companies. It was widely used in early personal computers, gaming consoles, and embedded systems, including the Apple II, Commodore 64, and Atari 2600. The chip’s efficient design made it a popular choice for hobbyists and developers in the early days of computing. Its legacy continues today, influencing modern processor designs and inspiring retro computing enthusiasts. Starting Bid $200

“Get on the List”—rare surviving “Apple-II Advance Order Information” brochure

from the personal collection of Apple co-founder Ron Wayne

6013. Ron Wayne’s Apple II Advance Order Information Brochure. Ron Wayne’s original “Apple-II Advance Order Information” brochure released by Apple Computer in early 1977, four pages, 8.5 x 11, signed on the front in black ink by the Apple cofounder, “Ronald G. Wayne,” who signs over his embossed personal seal. The brochure, which bears Apple’s first official address at “770 Welch Road, Palo Alto, CA”—the location of an answering service and mail drop that the company used while still operating out of the famous Jobs family garage—contains ample technical information relative to the Apple II computer, including specifications for “Video Display,” “Memory,” “I/O,” and “Software,” which includes “APPLE BASIC…an integer BASIC supplied in 6k bytes of ROM.” Most significantly, the brochure contains a “Get on the List” offer section and form with purchase options for quantity and memory. A section marked “The Offer,” reads, in full: “We expect a sizable backlog of orders almost immediately after APPLE-II is nationally announced in April. This advance offer is extended to allow you to order an Apple-II from the first production run, thus be guaranteed delivery by April 30, 1977. The terms of the advance order are as follows:

1. All orders will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis regardless of quantity.

2. A deposit of one-third (1/3) of the total dollar amount ordered will be required and must accompany the order, the balance due on delivery.

3. All California residents must add 6 1/2% sales tax on retail orders.

4. Apple will pay all shipping (UPS) and order handling charges.

5. Delivery is guaranteed on or before April 30, 1977.

In very fine condition. A rare surviving piece of Apple II ephemera that predates the unit’s release and subsequent ascent as America’s most influential personal computer. Provenance: Christie’s Auctions, The Ron Wayne Apple Archive, December 2014. Starting Bid $300

6014. Apple II Computer ‘Breakout’ Cassette Tape for ‘Color Demos’. Original Apple II personal computer cassette tape for containing “Color Demos” for the arcade game “Breakout,” which was released in 1977 and developed by Steve Wozniak. The green-and-white labels to either side bear faint stamps: “BREAKOUT, 1K” and “COLOR DEMOS, 1K.” A DAK label affixed to one side of the included cassette case is annotated in black ink, “BREAKOUT, COLOR DEMOS, A.” In fine condition.

Designed by Steve Wozniak in October of 1975, the arcade game Breakout was developed and published by Atari, Inc. and released on May 13, 1976. In the game, a layer of bricks lined the top third of the screen, and the goal was to destroy them all by repeatedly bouncing a ball off a paddle into them. Breakout was a worldwide commercial success, among the top five highest-grossing arcade video games of 1976 in both the United States and Japan and then among the top three highestgrossing arcade video games of 1977 in the U.S. and Japan.

Wozniak later claimed that Breakout directly influenced the design of the Apple II computer, saying ‘A lot of features of the Apple II went in because I had designed Breakout for Atari. I had designed it in hardware. I wanted to write it in software now.’ This included his design of color graphics circuitry, the addition of game paddle support and sound, and graphics commands in Integer BASIC. ‘Basically, all the game features were put in just so I could show off the game I was familiar with—Breakout—at the Homebrew Computer Club. It was the most satisfying day of my life [when] I demonstrated Breakout—totally written in BASIC. It seemed like a huge step to me. After designing hardware arcade games, I knew that being able to program them in BASIC was going to change the world.’ Starting Bid $200

6015. Apple II Computer ‘Applesoft BASIC’

Cassette Tape. Original Apple II computer cassette tape containing ‘Applesoft Basic’ and ‘Loan Amortization,’ with the green-and-white labels to either side stamped “APPLESOFT BASIC, Microsoft, 1977” and “LOAN AMORTIZATION (APPLESOFT).” A label affixed to one side of the included cassette case is annotated in black ink, “Applesoft BASIC, Loan Amortization.” In fine condition. An essential accessory for early Apple II users—the Applesoft BASIC programming language allowed users to write and run their own BASIC programs, making it a key tool for programming on the Apple II. Starting Bid $200

Complete 1977 Apple II Computer with an original Rev. 0 board

6016. Apple II Computer with Early Rev. 0 Board (Serial No. A2S1-0905). Very early, complete Apple II computer in its standard vented case, carrying a scarce Rev. 0 logic board (green), featuring the “Apple Computer, Inc.” logo with a copyright date of 1977, hand numbered in the corner in black felt tip: “1179.” No revision number is printed within the 6502 socket, which is populated with a Synertek M0S 6502 microprocessor, marked with correct date code “7732.” All parts and chips are original and correct. Installed on the board are an Apple Language Card and Disk II Interface Card. The bottom bears an “Apple Computer Inc.” label, identifying it as “Serial No. A2S1-0905.” The case exhibits some chipping to paint, and a piece of tape over the label on the bottom.

The system has been tested to power on to the Apple II logo but does not appear to boot to integer ROM monitor properly; there is corrosion to some legs of the original integer ROM ICs and some keys on the keyboard are unresponsive, likely due to dirty contacts in the key switches. While the system is in need of minor repairs, it should be fairly easy to restore to fully functional, original condition.

The early success of the Apple-1 in 1976 paved the way for the introduction of the Apple II in the spring of 1977. In Apple’s 1980 IPO prospectus, the company described its progress: ‘In April 1977 the Company introduced the Apple II computer mainframe which was similar to the Apple I but incorporated additional circuitry and a keyboard, and was packaged in a plastic housing.’ In other words, the Apple II built upon the Apple-1 to become an even more capable, more consumer-ready machine. Between 1977 and 1980, on the sales of the Apple II and its peripherals, accessories, and software, Apple Computer’s yearly revenue grew from $774,000 to $118 million, making it one of the great growth stories of Silicon Valley. Starting Bid $500

Sought-after, functional 1977 Apple II Computer with an original Rev. 0 board

6017. Apple II Computer with Early Rev. 0 Board (Serial No. A2S1-5384). Very early, functional Apple II computer in its standard vented case, carrying a scarce Rev. 0 logic board (green), featuring the “Apple Computer, Inc.” logo with a copyright date of 1977, hand numbered in the corner in felt tip: “5679.” No revision number is printed within the 6502 socket, which is populated with a Synertek M0S 6502 microprocessor, marked with correct date code “7807D.” The system is all original with no replacement parts: the power supply, ROMs, CPU, case, and keyboard are all correct and functional. The bottom bears an “Apple Computer Inc.” label, identifying it as “Serial No. A2S1-5384.” The case is in fine cosmetic condition.

The system has been tested to power up and boot to the integer ROM monitor. It is in need of a new speaker (currently, there is not one installed) and some keys on the keyboard are unresponsive, likely to be due to dirty contacts in the key switches.

Includes a working Sanyo CCTV monitor, Model VM-4209, tested to correctly display an image from the Apple II system. It exhibits some corrosion and wear to the case, including a stain on the top. Starting Bid $500

Exceedingly rare “Rev. 0” Apple II in its original ventless case—one of the rarest production Apple computers, with carrying bag and period Sanyo monitor

6018. Apple II Computer with Early Rev. 0 Board in Rare Ventless Case (Serial No. A2S1-0195), with Sanyo VM4209 Monitor. Very early Apple II computer in its extremely rare original ventless case, carrying a scarce Rev. 0 logic board (green), featuring the “Apple Computer, Inc.” logo with a copyright date of 1977, hand numbered in the corner in black felt tip: “1-462.” No revision number is printed within the 6502 socket, which is populated with a Synertek M0S 6502 microprocessor, marked with date code “7729D.” The board is fully populated in a stock configuration, with an additional “Sup ‘R’ Mod. II Ch. 33 TV Interface Unit” installed inside and some modifications made in the prototyping area. The power supply and keyboard are original. The bottom bears an “Apple Computer Inc.” label, identifying it as “Serial No. A2S1-0195.” Untested and in very good to fine cosmetic condition, with the slot prongs on the rear slightly warped, one of the black tabs used to secure the cover missing, and a “ComputerLand” retailer’s label affixed to the right side. Accompanied by an uncommon brown Apple carrying bag with the Apple logo on the front, and a period Sanyo VM4209 CRT video monitor manufactured in March 1979—the preferred monitor for use with Apple-1 and Apple II computers, as seen in early Apple advertisements.

Apple II computers initially came in this ventless case, but they experienced frequent overheating issues: this often led to various custom modifications to the original cases, with users cutting their own ventilation holes or wiring DIY fans into the housing. Within months, Apple introduced a vented case that solved the overheating problem and offered existing users a free replacement. As most early Apple II users took advantage of the upgrade or vented their cases themselves, unmodified ventless Apple II computers are very rare. Starting Bid $1000

6019. Apple II Cassette Tape Video Game/Software Collection (7), with Starwars, Startrek, and Breakout. Collection of seven Apple II cassette tape games, highlighted by the unlicensed software “Starwars, P/N A2T0002X” and “Startrek, P/N A2T0002X.” This was the first Star Wars game ever released, casting the player as a ‘space pilot trainee’ who destroys TIE fighters using a first-person heads-up display. The original Star Wars movie had been released only a year earlier, and Apple hoped to capitalize on the Skywalker-mania that gripped the nation. The inclusion of the Star Trek game made this cassette a grand unification of sci-fi fandom. These tapes were manually copied as orders came in, using a rig that fed eight recording tape drives from one master—an innovative example of the ‘print on demand’ model used by many businesses today.

Additional software cassettes include: “Breakout, P/N A2T0003X / Color Graphics, P/N A2T0003X”; “Biorythm, P/N A2T0009X / Mastermind, P/N A2T0009X”; two copies of “16K Startrek / 16K High-Resolution Graphics Demo”; and “Breakout / Color Demo.” Boxed software includes “Lords of Karma” by Avalon Hill/Microcomputer Games and Hellfire Warrior (on a floppy disk) by Epyx/Automated Simulations, both with their original instruction booklets. Also includes a pair of Apple II game paddles. In overall fine condition. Starting Bid $200

6020. Apple II Plus Computer: Scarce

Bell & Howell ‘Darth Vader’ or ‘Black Apple’ Variant. Scarce Apple II Plus computer (Model No. A2S1048B, Serial No. A2S3000540), popularly known as the ‘Darth Vader’ or ‘Black Apple’ model due to its distinctive dark case, produced for Bell & Howell under a special license to be sold in educational markets. The computer has an Apple Computer ROM 600 card installed, and the top case bears a co-branded label: “Made exclusively for Bell & Howell by Apple Computer, Inc.” Includes a TG Products joystick for the Apple II. The system is in unknown working condition; the case bears a few scuffs and scratches to the black finish.

The Bell & Howell Apple II is quite scarce and sought-after by collectors, given its eye-catching color. Introduced in 1979, this was the only black computer manufactured by Apple until the release of the Macintosh TV in 1993.

Released with a whopping price tag orbiting $5000, the business-oriented Apple III computer, equipped with the Apple SOS operating system, seemed predestined to fail. Designed to serve as the successor to the Apple II series, the Apple III suffered from stability issues shortly after its November 1980 release, which resulted in the first 14,000 machines produced being recalled. The bugs were fixed, but the computer’s reputation was not. The Apple III was discontinued on April 24, 1984, and its last successor, the III Plus, was dropped from the Apple product line in September 1985. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak stated that the primary reason for the Apple III’s failure was that the system was designed by Apple’s marketing department, unlike Apple’s previous engineering-driven projects.

Rare, fully functioning Apple Lisa-1 computer system with its original ‘Twiggy’ drives—

representing the mass-market introduction of the mouse and GUI

6026. Apple Lisa Computer with ‘Twiggy’ Drives, ProFile Hard Drive, Mouse, Keyboard, and Software. Rare, functioning Apple Lisa desktop computer (Model A6SB100, Memory Option A6SB108), representing an innovative step in the transition between the Apple I and II and the Macintosh. It was one of the first personal computers to present a graphical user interface (GUI), and is remembered for its high price and lack of sales. This example, with Apple label reading “Serial No: B08B832430086, Applenet No: 00102088, Manufactured: 83243,” features the rare original-configuration ‘Twiggy’ floppy drives.

The concept of a GUI-based system was initially developed by Xerox in 1973, but it was Apple that brought it to market with the release of the Lisa in January 1983. The Lisa introduced revolutionary features such as overlapping windows, pull-down menus, and drag-and-drop functionality. Despite its groundbreaking design, the Lisa was expensive, and its specially designed ‘Twiggy’ drives were notoriously unreliable. These ‘Twiggy’ drives were prone to frequent failures, which significantly hindered the commercial success of the Lisa. To address these issues, Apple quickly introduced the Lisa-2 with a modified front panel and standard floppy disk drive. Apple offered Lisa-1 owners a free upgrade to Lisa-2, requiring the return of the original front panel and Twiggy drives, which were then destroyed. As a result, a complete Lisa-1, like the one offered here, is extremely rare. It is estimated that only 30 to 100 Lisa-1 machines still exist today.

This Apple Lisa-1 is fully functional and in exceptional condition, both visually and technically. This Lisa-1 and its external Apple Profile hard disk run on 120 volts.

The system also includes original peripherals and software required for operation: the Apple Lisa mouse (Model No. A9M0050, Serial No. 007451), Apple Lisa keyboard (Model No. A6MB101, Serial No. 1015839), Apple ProFile 5MB hard drive (Model A9M0005, Serial No. 151472), Lisa diskettes for Office System I and II, and a group of seven slipcased binders containing manuals and 5.25˝ diskettes for: LisaDraw, LisaWrite, LisaTerminal, LisaCalc, LisaProject, LisaGraph, and LisaList. Also included is the February 1983 issue of Byte magazine, which shows the Apple Lisa and IIe on the front cover. The mouse is particularly desirable as Apple’s first mouse, representing a major transition to point-and-click personal computing with Lisa’s revolutionary graphical user interface.

Development of the Lisa project began in 1978, aimed at individual

business users. Officially, “Lisa” stood for ‘Local Integrated Software Architecture,’ but it was also the name of Steve Jobs’ daughter. The Lisa was first introduced in January 1983 at a cost of $9,995, as one of the first commercial personal computers to have a GUI and a mouse. This initial, original model of Lisa computer features the dual, custom, 5 1/4” ‘Twiggy’ drives. These floppy drives, designed in-house at Apple, were innovative, featuring a high capacity, variable spindle speed, and were double-sided. The Lisa had initially been designed with the idea of running its operating system entirely from these disks. But due to the lack of speed and the increasing needs of the operating system, the Lisa shipped with an external 5MB ProFile hard drive. The Twiggy drives, with their unique custom diskettes, high manufacturing cost, and field unreliability, were soon replaced by Apple with a free upgrade to the later “Lisa 2” machine, which replaced disk drives with a single 3 1/2” Sony drive, and a new faceplate to accommodate it. As this was offered to customers at no charge, and Apple required the return of the original disk drives and faceplate, it is incredibly rare to find a surviving machine with the original Twiggy drives.

The Lisa did not do well in the marketplace. A large part of this was its hefty price tag, another being the relative lack of available software. The machine was also perhaps too much of a radical change in computing environments, offering the graphical interface and the mouse to consumers for the first time. The Lisa was also fairly slow, and this was reflected in the user experience with the operating system. The Lisa did offer a vast array of advanced features, from multitasking to soft power, that took years to make it into other platforms. The Macintosh, released just a year later in 1984, inherited much of the graphical functionality and the mouse from the Lisa—but did so at a far lower cost, and it was faster as well.

Apple attempted to market and sell the Lisa alongside the Macintosh— eventually releasing a modification kit to allow the Lisa hardware to run Macintosh software, and sold a so-modified machine as the Macintosh XL. This had the distinct advantage of having a larger screen and a lot more memory, but was somewhat slower than an actual Macintosh due to the lower processor clock speed.

Ultimately, Lisa didn’t find commercial success and sold only 10,000 units before being discontinued in 1985. On top of not selling well, many were subsequently traded in to Apple for a substantial discount on the Macintosh Plus—another factor in the rarity of the Lisa today. A rare, desirable, and fully functional example of a pioneering Apple product. Starting Bid $5,000

The mouse is particularly desirable as Apple’s first mouse—representing a major transition to point-and-click personal computing with Lisa’s revolutionary graphical user interface.

The Apple Lisa 2/10, released in 1984, boasted advanced features that were revolutionary for its time. Its 12-inch monochrome display with a resolution of 720x364 pixels offered crisp and clear graphics, setting new standards for graphical user interfaces. The Lisa 2/10 was equipped with an impressive 5-megahertz Motorola 68000 processor, delivering robust performance for its era.

This computer holds a special place in computing history not only for its technological advancements but also due to its limited production run. Apple produced a relatively small number of Lisa 2/10 units, estimated to be around 10,000. This exclusivity contributes to its desirability among collectors and technology enthusiasts. The Lisa 2/10 was primarily intended for business and professional use, offering powerful capabilities for tasks such as document creation, spreadsheet analysis, and graphical presentations. It was often utilized in corporate environments and educational institutions, where its advanced graphical user interface and productivity software made it an attractive choice for those seeking a more intuitive computing experience.

6049. Apple Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM) with Original Box. Sought-after example of the limited edition Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM), released by Apple in 1997 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the company’s founding. Aimed at the executive market, the innovative computer boasted a $7,500 price tag and feature-packed performance that exceeded most personal computers of the era. This example has the ‘FatBac’ upgrade with original hardware, configured with an ethernet port in the back. A thick ‘umbilical’ cable connects the base unit to the head unit, supplying both power and communications for the subwoofer. Accompanied by its original box.

Internal components bear DVT markings and and the CD drive has a large printed X over the FCC marking indicating it is also non-factory released. Tested to boot and in fine cosmetic condition.

Per Steve Jobs and his iMac introduction: ‘iMac comes from the marriage of the excitement of the internet with the simplicity of Macintosh. Even though this is a full-blooded Macintosh, we are targeting this for the number one use that consumers tell us they want a computer for, which is to get on the internet simply and fast. And that’s what this product is targeted for…So we decided to put in a G3 processor running at 233

megahertz. We debated this quite a bit because there were cheaper, slower things we could have used. And we said, no, this has gotta be the computer that we want on our desk, too…I think that Apple is back on track, and I hope that what we’ve shown you today shows you how we are going to springboard ahead into the future of Apple Computer.’

First released in the ‘Bondi Blue’ colorway in August 1998, the iMac line soon expanded to include a variety of ‘fruity’ flavors, including grape, tangerine, lime, and strawberry. The vibrant colors of the iMac G3 proved essential to the marketing strategy of Steve Jobs and Apple. The G3’s mixture of speed, style, and affordability reinvigorated Apple Computer—the company went from losing $878 million in 1997 to making its first profit in three years in 1998.

Attractive non-functional replica of an Apple-1 prototype board, measuring 15.5˝ x 9.25˝, marked as “Apple Computer A,” signed on the surface of the board in black felt tip by early Apple engineer Daniel Kottke and by third Apple cofounder Ronald G. Wayne. The modern replica is a precise recreation of the “Apple Computer A” prototype board based on Paul Terrell’s 1976 Polaroid photos and careful research of the original prototype board sold by RR Auction in 2022. It is a complete PCB board with chip sockets and its three large orange Sprague Atom capacitors intact in the upper right. In very fine condition.

Accompanied by a copy of the Apple-1 operation manual, and a provenance statement from the board’s creator: “It was manufactured in the heart of Silicon Valley, the same location where it was designed and hand-soldered by Steve Wozniak in 1976. The board is an exact copy of the original Apple-1 Computer Prototype with the highest level of attention to details. The part that is missing in the original prototype board was recreated using Paul Terrell’s (owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California) photographs of the complete board. The board carries the unique ‘Apple Computer A’ on the printed circuit board.

The Apple-1 Computer Prototype replica was reviewed by the 2 early Apple employees and has the following genuine autographs:

Ronald Wayne - one of the three Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) co-founders. He formed it as a partnership with Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs on April 1, 1976.

Daniel Kottke - a college friend of Steve Jobs and one of the first employees of Apple Inc. He met Jobs at Reed College in 1972, and they trekked together through India for spiritual enlightenment and to the All One Farm. In 1976, Kottke realized his interest in computers when Jobs hired him to assemble hobbyist computer projects and then to be a part-time employee at the newly founded Apple Computer Company.

The autographs were signed at the 2024 Vintage Computer Fair held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. In 1976, Jobs used the prototype boards to demonstrate the Apple-1 to Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world. The demo resulted in Apple Computer’s first big order and changed the course of the companywhat Jobs and Woz had conceived as part of a $40 do-it-yourself kit for hobbyists became, at Terrell’s request, a fully assembled personal computer board to be sold at $666.66. Wozniak later placed Terrell’s purchase order for fifty Apple-1s in perspective: ‘That was the biggest single episode in all of the company’s history. Nothing in subsequent years was so great and so unexpected.’” Starting Bid $200

Apple iPhones, iPods, and iPads

Rare prototype of the first-generation Apple iPad, the world’s best-selling tablet computer

6061. Apple iPad: First Generation Prototype (2009). Rare circa 2009 prototype of the first-generation Apple iPad, which boots up the SwitchBoard utility, an in-house Apple launcher program for diagnostic and debugging tools used in development. The iPad prototype measures approximately 9.5˝ x 7.5˝ x .5˝, and the caseback features only the Apple logo, with no FCC notice or model information as seen on the final product.

Development of the iPad began as early as 2002, and Steve Jobs told Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher that the idea for the iPhone actually came from the development of the iPad: “I’ll tell you a secret. It began with the tablet. I had this idea about having a glass display, a multitouch display you could type on with your fingers. I asked our people about it. And six months later, they came back with this amazing display. And I gave it to one of our really brilliant UI guys. He got [rubber band] scrolling working and some other things, and I thought, ‘my God, we can build a phone with this!’ So we put the tablet aside, and we went to work on the iPhone.”

After the iPhone’s massively successful release in 2007, Apple’s engineers were free to return their focus to the tablet project— essentially bringing the iPhone’s intuitive multi-touch interface to a much larger display, allowing it to be used more like a laptop or netbook. When introducing the first iPad on January 27, 2010, Steve Jobs promised: “iPad is our most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price… iPad creates and defines an entirely new category of devices that will connect users with their apps and content in a much more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before.” Since that time, the iPad has become the best-selling tablet computer series in history, with over 670 million units sold.

‘iPhone is a revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone,’ Steve Jobs said during his keynote speech that introduced the innovative product. He was right. Developed in secrecy, the original iPhone is the smartphone that transformed the industry, revolutionizing cellphone design as one of the first ‘slate’ form factor phones. The iPhone removed nearly all physical controls in favor of an easy-to-use capacitive touchscreen interface. It put the internet into our pockets with the first full-featured mobile web browser, and essentially launched the market for apps with the introduction of the App Store, making third-party applications easy to access and download.

The iPhone 4 featured a major design overhaul, introducing a sleek and modern look with a glass front and back and a stainless steel frame that doubled as an antenna. Touted by Steve Jobs as being the thinnest smartphone in the world, the 4 featured the game-changing ‘Retina Display,’ a high-resolution screen that offered a pixel density so high that individual pixels were hard to distinguish. The iPhone 4 had one of the longest lifespans of any iPhone ever produced, spanning close to four years. Per Jobs: ‘This is beyond the doubt, the most precise thing, and one of the most beautiful we’ve ever made. Glass on the front and back, and steel around the sides. It’s like a beautiful old Leica camera.’ Starting Bid $200

‘Design Validation Test’ prototype of Apple’s 1st generation iPod Classic, with a never-before-seen red internal logic board with 2002 copyright year— a possible early development board for the 2nd generation media player

6075. Apple iPod Classic Prototype (1st Generation with Red Logic Board) - Marked as “P95 DVT”. Remarkable prototype of the first generation Apple iPod Classic (white), Model No. M8541, Serial No., U220863CML1, containing a rare red internal logic board marked with part number, “820-1375-01,” and year, “2002. The mirror-finish case back is engraved “P95 DVT,” which designates the prototype stage as ‘Design Validation Test,’ and the inside of the case is stamped, “2A212005.” Although unconfirmed, the year difference between the case and logic board suggests that this iPod may have served as a development prototype used by Apple for testing prior to the release of the second-generation model. Of further interest is the case’s serial number, which does not generate any results on Apple’s ‘Check Coverage’ database. Includes its original power cord. In fine, tested and working condition, with slight scuffing and a small, practically imperceptible dent to the case back. The presence of the red PCB or logic board is ostensibly due to its prototype nature; companies like Apple, Microsoft, or Sony often opted for different color boards to differentiate development stages and to prevent the prototypes from being resold or leaked as finished devices. A seemingly unique iPod Classic that was tested to bridge the development of Apple’s historic game-changing media players. Starting Bid $1,000

Brand new first-gen iPod, sealed in its original box—the transformative digital music player introduced by Apple in 2001

6076. Apple iPod (First Generation, Sealed). Sought-after unopened first-generation original Apple iPod (5GB), Model M8541, Part No. M8513LL/A, Serial No. U220478XLG6.

In brand new, factory-sealed condition. Accompanied by an Apache 3800 weatherproof protective case.

In 2001, Apple announced the iPod, a device that promised to ‘put 1,000 songs in your pocket.’ It was not the first MP3 player on the market, but it was the best—good looking, user-friendly, and spacious enough to hold an entire music library. What resulted was a mass adoption that would change the way we interact with music forever. The iPod became one of the most critically important hardware innovations of the 21st century, with its iconic design and friendly interface laying the groundwork for modern devices like the iPhone. According to CNET, ‘the iPod was the device that helped transform Apple from a computer company into a consumer electronics company.’ While the number of new-in-box, first-gen iPods is unknown, only around 600k were sold in the first year, and the vast majority of them were opened and used immediately. Starting Bid $1,000

6077. Apple iPod (3rd Generation, Sealed, 15GB). Unopened third generation Apple iPod, Part No. M9460LL/A, Serial No. JQ406FYVQQF (15GB). The cube-shaped box features a white Apple logo on the top, and the sides have images of the iPod that highlight some of its new features: illuminated controls, a backlit LCD screen, and touch-sensitive scroll wheel and buttons. The underside of the box lists the device’s specifications. In brand new, factory-sealed condition.

The completely redesigned third-generation iPod, introduced by Apple in the spring of 2003, replaced the FireWire port with a new proprietary 30-pin Dock Connector and introduced the Touch Wheel, a completely non-mechanical interface with the four auxiliary buttons located in a row between the screen and the touch wheel. ‘The competition hasn’t even caught up with our first generation iPod, and we’re introducing our third generation,’ said Steve Jobs as he unveiled the music player. Starting Bid $300

6078. Apple iPod U2 Special Edition (2004, Sealed - 20GB). Unopened fourth generation original Apple iPod U2 Special Edition, Part No. M9787LL/A (20GB), Serial No. JQ5027GZS2X, released for Mac and Windows.

Another side contains an image of the band, and the underside contains the device’s specifications. In brand new, factory-sealed condition.

Launched to coincide with the release of U2’s album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, this U2 Special Edition iPod was the first of four released by Apple between 2004 and 2006, with the second version based on an iPod photo and the third and fourth versions based on 5th-generation iPods. They were available in two storage capacities, 20 GB and 30 GB, and these iPods came preloaded with U2’s entire music catalog, including the new album. In addition to the unique design and preloaded content, the U2 iPods also included exclusive U2-branded earphones and a coupon for a discount on the complete box set of U2’s digital music collection. Starting Bid $200

6079. Apple iPod Mini (2nd Generation, Sealed - Blue, 4GB). Unopened second-generation original blue Apple iPod Mini, Part No. M9802LL/A (4GB), Serial No. YM51943MS43. The box features life-size front and side images of the iPod Mini, a list of the music player’s specifications, and text reading: “iPod mini, 4GB 1000 songs PC+Mac.” In brand new condition, with dings to corners, and tears to the original shrink wrap.

Unveiled on February 23, 2005, the popular second-gen device saw a price reduction and improved battery life: ‘The iPod mini is now available at the magic price point of $199,’ said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. ‘At this breakthrough price point, and with more than twice the battery life, the new iPod mini should appeal to even more music lovers.’ The iPod Mini quickly gained popularity due to its compact size, stylish design, and impressive storage capacity, and became one of Apple’s best-selling iPod models. The iPod Mini was ultimately discontinued by Apple a year later in September 2005, as the company shifted its focus to the iPod Nano, which offered a slimmer design and flashbased storage. Starting Bid $200

6080. Apple iPod Nano (1st Generation, Sealed - 2GB, White). Unopened first generation original white Apple iPod Nano, Part No. PA004LL/A (2GB), Serial No. YM6141VASZV. The front and back of the box feature life-size images of the audio player, and the sides feature the silver Apple logo, “2GB 500 songs PC + Mac,” and specifications on the bottom. In brand new, factory-sealed condition.

On September 7, 2005, Apple introduced the iPod Nano at a media event with Steve Jobs pointing to the small watch pocket in his jeans and asking, ‘Ever wonder what this pocket is for?’ With much of the emphasis on its small size—1.6” wide, 3.5” long, and .27” thick, with a weight of 42 grams—the Nano also served as a worthy replacement for the adored but short-lived iPod Mini. Per Jobs: ‘The iPod Nano is the biggest revolution since the original iPod. We’ve taken the best-selling MP3 player in the world and made it better with a thinner design, color screen, and a brand new user interface.’ Starting Bid $200

6081. Apple iPod Shuffle (1st Generation, Sealed) - CAS 85+. Unopened first-generation original white Apple iPod Shuffle, Order MA133LL/A (512MB). The green box features a front window showing the audio player, text to the top and sides, “PC + Mac 120 Songs 512MB” and “iPod Shuffle,” and specifications to the back. In brand new, sealed condition. Encapsulated and graded by CAS with a master grade of “85+” and a real grade of “88.8”; a small plastic part is loose inside the CAS container. Released by Apple on January 11, 2005, the first-generation iPod Shuffle was designed to be a small and lightweight device primarily focused on music playback, simplicity, and user-friendly controls, which Steve Jobs emphasized during the audio player’s launch: ‘With iPod shuffle, we’ve created the most wearable iPod ever…It’s incredibly easy to use with its super-simple controls and ultra-compact design.’ With a unique and ultra-compact design, the iPod Shuffle resembled a small USB stick without a display or click wheel. In spite of its size, the 512 MB model could hold approximately 120 songs, the 1 GB model could hold approximately 240 songs, and the player’s battery life offered up to 12 hours of continuous music playback on a single charge. In addition to the player’s VoiceOver feature, the iPod Shuffle’s built-in USB connector at the base eliminated the need for a separate cable and allowed users to connect it directly to a computer’s USB port for syncing music and charging. Starting Bid $200

6082. Apple iPod Nano (1st Generation, Sealed - 2GB, White), with Lanyard Headphones and Armband.

Released after the first-generation iPhone as a companion device, the first-generation iPod touch was a significant step forward in the iPod lineup, combining the music playback capabilities of earlier iPods with the touch interface and internet connectivity of the iPhone. It offered a rich multimedia experience, access to a wide range of applications, and the freedom to browse the web and stay connected on the go with its built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. Per Steve Jobs at the device’s unveiling on September 5, 2007: ‘The iPod Touch is the most advanced iPod we have ever created. It features a revolutionary multi-touch interface, stunning 3.5-inch display, and a thin design. It’s like having the whole internet in your pocket.’ Starting Bid $200

“So revolutionary that it immediately obsoletes everything before it”—Apple’s internal marketing plan for the pioneering Macintosh

6090. Apple: 1983 Macintosh

Introduction Plan - “So revolutionary that it immediately obsoletes everything before it”. Original spiral-bound “Macintosh Product Introduction Plan,” 9 x 11, 106 pages, with the title page reading: “7 October 1983, Company Confidential, Reproduction Prohibited, Document Number: 72.” The fascinating document offers a summary of the Macintosh product and outlines a detailed marketing plan to include national advertisements, promo materials, educational resources, and support for software developers. In particular, the plan offers insight into Apple’s business strategy during the era, with commentary on target demographics: “Macintosh is an advanced personal productivity tool for knowledge workers.” The plan sees medium businesses as the main target market, followed by home/home businesses, small businesses, large businesses, universities, and scientific/industrial firms.

A significant “Competitive Analysis” section foresees potential attacks by IBM and offers Apple’s responses to criticisms involving lack of expandability, limited hardware, lack of software, and incompatibility with other Apple products (the Macintosh is “so revolutionary that it immediately obsoletes everything before it”), among others.

The plan also offers messaging guidelines for Apple’s marketers, PR people, and retailers. Although the advertising plan does include “Announce Mac on network TV,” there is no reference to the famous ‘1984’ ad, which aired on CBS during the broadcast of Super Bowl XVIII on January 22, 1984. According to this timeline, the original plan was to ‘tease’ the Mac throughout the month of January before announcing it on January 29th, followed by advertisements during the Winter Olympics (February 7-19). As it happens, the Macintosh got its blockbuster tease during the Super Bowl and was formally introduced two days later on January 24th.

Other intriguing facets of the plan include Apple’s international strategy, distribution channels, sales forecasts, introduction events, and more. Moreover, the final page highlights a key business use of the Macintosh: “This is a sample of high resolution printing using Macintosh and an Apple Imagewriter Printer. As you can see, the quality is excellent. We expect this level of print quality to be acceptable to processionals for all office communications.” In fine condition, with light soiling to the covers and minor handling wear. Starting Bid $500

6092. Apple Macintosh ‘The Macintosh Spirit’ Lithograph by Jean-Michel Folon - From the Collection of Clement Mok. Scarce color 22.5 x 30 Apple Computer lithograph entitled ‘The Macintosh Spirit,’ which features artwork by Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon of ‘Macintosh Man’ holding a keyboard and mouse and flying amongst a planet-filled sky, with stylized lettering below, “Macintosh,” and the lower section bearing seven lines of multilingual text, each reading “The Macintosh Spirit.” Folon’s facsimile artist signature is printed in the lower right. Rolled and in fine condition, with trivial edgewear and a few light marks to the borders, all of which could be matted out if so desired.

In the early 1980s, before the famed Picasso-style line drawing of a computer became the Macintosh logo, the graphic was set to feature a very different concept. Owen Linzmayer discusses the original effort in his 2004 book, Apple Confidential 2.0: ‘Long before the Mac was complete, Steve Jobs

had become quite taken with the work of Belgian-born poster artist Jean-Michel Folon and paid him an advance of $30,000 to design a logo to represent the new computer. Folon came up with a character he called Mac Man and depicted him in a color pastel drawing called ‘The Macintosh Spirit.’

In addition to his hefty advance, Folon was to be paid an unprecedented royalty of $1 for every Mac sold. With almost 30 million Macs sold as of 1998, the Macintosh commission would have easily been Folon’s most lucrative undertaking. But after Folon submitted ‘The Macintosh Spirit,’ the mercurial Jobs changed his mind. In June 1983, he turned instead to the Mac art director, Tom Hughes, asking him to come up with something a little more practical. Working with John Casado, Hughes created the colorful, simple drawing of the Mac that we’ve come to know and love.’ From the Clement Mok Collection. Starting Bid $200

6093. Apple 1984 Annual Report and (6) Photographs of Jim Henson, Maya Lin, and ‘The Fathers of Mac’ - From the Collection of Clement Mok. Original Apple Computer 1984 Annual Report with six photographs of puppeteer Jim Henson, ‘The Fathers of Macintosh’ team of Bill Atkinson, Burrell Smith, George Crow, and Chris Espinosa, and Maya Lin, the designer of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, all photoshoot images taken for the 1984 report.

The 1984 Annual Report, 68 pages, 9 x 11, was one of Apple’s most iconic early design projects. The report is renowned not only for its detailed financial and operational review of a pivotal year in Apple’s history, but also for its stylish, innovative design and influential content: this year marked the release of the original Macintosh, a revolutionary product that redefined personal computing. Also notable was a closing section dedicated to “eleven great imaginations,” well-known Macintosh users Jim Henson, Stephen Sondheim, Kurt Vonnegut, Ted Turner, Maya Lin, Peter Martins, Milton Glaser, Bob Ciano, Lee Iacocca, Dianne Feinstein, and David Rockefeller.

Originally taken by noted photographer Cheryl Rossum, the Henson photo, semi-glossy silver gelatin, 11.5 x 12, shows the muppet creator as he appears on page 56 of the report: seated behind a table in a half-length pose holding an invisible Kermit the Frog. The adjacent report page shows three images of drawings Henson made using MacPaint. The photo is matted and framed to an overall size of 16.25 x 18.75.

The Lin photo, semi-glossy silver gelatin, 8 x 10, was one of the images taken by Rossum during her photoshoot for the 1984 Apple Report; Lin is pictured on page 50. The adjacent report page shows a vector drawing of a spiral staircase Lin made using MacDraw.

The four ‘Fathers of Mac’ photos, each glossy and 10 x 8, consist of ‘outtake’ images of Atkinson, Smith, Crow, and Espinosa from their photoshoot with acclaimed photographer Norman Seeff; Crow is only pictured once. For unknown reasons, ‘The Fathers of Mac’ were not pictured in the final printing of the 1984 report. In overall fine condition, with a small crack to the upper left corner of the Henson frame glass. From the Clement Mok Collection. Starting Bid $200

The first NeXT Computer, informally referred to as the ‘Cube,’ was introduced in 1988 with great fanfare thanks to Jobs’s marketing strategy. At NeXT, Jobs helped to develop a pioneering ‘fingerless’ automated manufacturing line right in Silicon Valley. He believed that keeping the design, development, and manufacturing in close proximity—all in a single plant, rather than outsourced overseas—would help NeXT out-innovate its competitors by allowing continuous improvement of their products. Although their computers encountered subpar sales, the NeXTSTEP operating system and development environment proved highly influential, forming the basis for Mac OS X. Apple purchased NeXT in 1997 for $429 million and 1.5 million shares of Apple stock, with Jobs, as part of the agreement, returning to the company he had co-founded in 1976. Starting Bid $500

6128. Steve Jobs: NeXT Poster Designed by Paul Rand (1986) - From the Collection of Clement Mok.

Rolled and in fine to very fine condition.

Having been ousted from Apple in the fall of 1985, Jobs founded the innovative NeXT project, a computer and software company aimed at the markets of business and higher education. The first NeXT Computer was introduced in 1988 with great fanfare thanks to Jobs’s marketing strategy, which included this playful logo-developed by legendary designer Paul Rand as part of a $100,000 brand identity package-that suggests a child’s building block askew.

In his original presentation booklet for the NeXT logo, Rand explained his design philosophy and his creative process in developing the now iconic logo. After selecting a typeface, he observed: ‘Personal preferences, prejudices, and stereotypes often dictate what a logo looks like, but it is needs, not wants, ideas, not type styles which determine what its form should be.’ Rand went on to defamiliarize the common word ‘next,’ by making the ‘e’ lowercase and placing the letters into a cube. In the final steps, he added color and demonstrated the versatility of the logo with its infinite scalability. From the Clement Mok Collection. Starting Bid $200

Computer History

keyset

developed by computer visionary

Doug

Engelbart, as used in the ‘Mother of All Demos’

6133. Douglas Engelbart:

Coding Keyset Input Device. Scarce chorded keyset input device created by computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart, similar to the type used in his iconic 1968 ‘Mother of All Demos.’ The keyset, made in an uncommon blackand-brown theme, measures 5” x 5.5” x 1.25” and features five keys (permitting 31 key-press combinations), for typing and entering commands. The underside of the keyset is padded in cork, and it retains its gray cord terminating in a Cannon serial connector. In very good to fine condition, with the second and third keys somewhat sticky; the others travel well.

The five-button coding keyset was first publicly demonstrated in the ‘Mother of All Demos,’ where Engelbart presented many of the technological ideas that are now commonplace—including the computer mouse, hypertext, multiple windows, video conferencing, and shared editing of online documents. The keyset was meant to supplement—not replace—a traditional keyboard. Where a keyboard required a user to lift their hand from the mouse and look away from the screen, the keyset allowed them to continue using the mouse while typing by pressing down multiple switches simultaneously to make ‘chords,’ like a piano player. Using binary code, each ‘chord’ would input a specific character.

The keyset and Engelbart’s three-button mouse also worked together—the keyset’s 31 combinations permitted input of all 26 letters of the alphabet, plus standard punctuation marks (comma, period, semicolon, question mark, and space). Used in conjunction with the keyset, the mouse buttons functioned as shift and command keys: with the middle button pressed, letters shifted to uppercase and other punctuation marks were accessible; pressing the left mouse button allowed entry of numbers and a further selection of punctuation and symbols.

The ‘Mother of All Demos’ would prove to be massively influential, though it took well over a decade for Engelbart’s ideas to become mainstream. In the early 1970s, much of Engelbart’s original team ended up at Xerox PARC, where they continued their research in human-computer interaction and kept improving upon the mouse. While touring Xerox PARC in 1979, Steve Jobs witnessed the concepts of the mouse and the graphical user interface (GUI) in action. Impressed by their user-friendliness, he aimed to simplify and incorporate these intuitive features into Apple’s computers. Starting Bid $1000

One-of-a-kind Apple Macintosh mouse signed by tech visionaries Douglas Engelbart, Robert Metcalfe, Ted Nelson, and Dan Bricklin

6132. Tech Innovators Multi-Signed (4) Apple Macintosh Mouse: Douglas Engelbart, Robert Metcalfe, Ted Nelson, and Dan Bricklin. Apple Macintosh Desktop Bus Mouse signed in black felt tip by four notable innovators of the computer industry: Douglas Engelbart, the creator of the computer mouse (left side); Robert Metcalfe, the inventor of Ethernet and Metcalfe’s Law (top); Ted Nelson, who coined the terms hypertext and hypermedia (right side); and Dan Bricklin, the co-creator of VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet program (underside). In fine condition. A significant, one-of-a-kind assemblage of four tech visionaries who helped shape the foundations of modern computing, networking, and information systems.

Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance from the original recipient, Patrick Rafter, a technology communications veteran and co-founder of the Nantucket Conference, an annual gathering of technology executives, thought leaders, academics, and investors to foster the growth of New England as a global hub for entrepreneurship, international trade, and new ideas. Regarding the Engelbart and Nelson signatures, Rafter writes: “In 1991-92, I directed marketing, PR, speakers’ programs & partnerships for The American Information Exchange (AMiX), the world’s first online information marketplace & e-mail based service connecting clients with

consultants…The company was closely affiliated with Project Xanadu, the first hypertext project (founded by Ted Nelson, and championed by Doug Engelbart and John Walker, founder of AutoDesk). At an all-hands company meeting at AMIX/Xanadu offices (2325 Yale St., Palo Alto, CA) on Thursday, February 6, 1992, I asked for and received the signatures of these two computer industry influencers.”

Rafter on obtaining the Bricklin and Metcalfe signatures: “Through attending Nantucket Conference each year for fourteen years, I had the opportunity to meet and talk with a large number of notable computer industry leaders, including the Founders/CEOs of companies including Adobe, Avid Technology, Craigslist, Google, Kayak, IDG, Monster.com, Nuance, Skype, Sun Microsystems, TripAdvisor, and ZipCar.

On May 4, 2001, while attending the 2001 Nantucket Conference, I approached Dan Bricklin (with whom I had previously worked at Trellix), asked for, and received his autograph on my 1992 Apple Macintosh mouse. One year later, on May 4, 2002 (during the 2002 Nantucket Conference), while chatting with Bob Metcalfe (a multi-year participant and speaker at the conference), I asked for, and received Metcalfe’s signature on my 1992 Apple Macintosh mouse.” Starting Bid $500

Early three-button ‘X-Y’ computer mouse developed at SRI by Doug Engelbart

6134. Douglas Engelbart: X-Y Axis Three-Button Mouse. Sought-after, early example of the three-button computer mouse designed by computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart, measuring approximately 4? x 2.75? x 2.5?, which utilizes two metal discs (corresponding to the X-axis and Yaxis) on the bottom to locate the position of the cursor, rather than a ball or optical light that came to be used later. The mouse’s cord has been removed, and the buttons are somewhat wobbly.

Computer visionary Douglas Engelbart is remembered for founding the field of human–computer interaction and for his development of the computer mouse. His original patent for an ‘X-Y Position Indicator for a Display System’ was filed in 1967 and introduced at the Augmentation Research Center (ARC) of Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in Menlo Park, California, the next year, in ‘The Mother of All Demos.’

The Xerox mouses cost $300 apiece, didn’t roll around smoothly, and had three buttons. Jobs wanted a simple, single-button model that cost $15. Apple licensed Engelbart’s mouse patent from SRI for around $40,000, and Jobs hired the design firm IDEO to bring the mouse to the masses. Apple’s mouse—which used a rollerball mechanism—was introduced with the expensive Lisa computer in 1983, but achieved fame and popularity when the more affordable Macintosh was released in 1984.

Accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from the consignor: ‘In 1995, I was EVP of an internet startup Save Smart located in Mountain View, CA. It was funded in part by Softbank Holdings. Softbank Holdings had several investments in Silicon Valley... They were curious if there might be unidentified synergies within their investment portfolio. I was asked to meet with several companies that Softbank had or was considering investing in. By chance, one of the companies I met with to identify potential synergies was an internet startup called Zip2 in Palo Alto, CA. It was founded by Elon Musk, his brother Kimbal, and Greg Khouri. Zip2 was Elon’s first company after completing college. Musk was about 23 years old when we met.

All of our meetings were in Elon’s office with other members of Elon’s team joining in as necessary. As I recall, Elon’s brother, Kimbal Musk, participated in one of the three meetings I had with the Zip2 team. In 1995, it was customary to share 2x3-inch business cards, hence the business cards. Although Elon and I did not identify marketable synergies, I walked away with five Zip2 business cards, including the company chairman, Elon Musk’s card. Upon returning to my office, I stapled the cards to a physical Rolodex.’ Starting Bid $200

Early Google, Inc. check signed by co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin

Google, Inc. was officially incorporated on September 7, 1998, by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, as a way to bring their ‘PageRank’ algorithm—an improved method of ranking internet search results, developed in the course of their Stanford doctoral work—to the masses. This check, written just four months later, is therefore one of the earliest checks written after the founding of Google. Paid to a moving company, it represents Google’s transition from a Menlo Park garage (at the home of Susan Wojcicki) into its first real office space in Palo Alto’s ‘Lucky Building’—famed as an incubator for several noted Silicon Valley startups. Soon, new checks would be printed up reflecting the change of address to 165 University Ave.

The consignor notes: “In August of 1998, Andy Bechtolsheim wrote a check to Google for $100,000 becoming the initial investor in the company. It took a few weeks for the check to be cashed because Google was not yet an incorporated company. On September 7, 1998, Google became an incorporated company and the first checking account with the name Google, Inc. was opened. The address used to open the account, 555 Bryant #106, Palo Alto, CA, is currently a UPS Store which Google used as a mailing address. The actual offices were in a garage in Menlo Park. It appears that the first check number used to set up the account was number 2000 to give the appearance of an established account/company…

I joined the company in April of 2002. I worked in the Finance department as the manager of Disbursements and Payroll. I was the first manager level hired in the Finance department. I came across these checks as we were moving from one location to another, as we did frequently. The checks were to be discarded to make room for other files. The company was growing very fast at the time. I kept them thinking it would be fun to have from a historical perspective.” Starting Bid $200

of the book ‘50 Years of Army Computing: From ENIAC to MSRC,’ edited by Thomas J. Bergin, (September 2000), which is signed on the front pastedown by Wrublewski, Romanelli, and Bruno. Developed during World War II and designed by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert at the University of Pennsylvania’s Moore School of Electrical Engineering, the ENIAC was commissioned by the U.S. Army to calculate artillery firing tables and to perform computations on a range of numerical and scientific problems. It was powered up on July 29, 1947, and was in continuous operation until 11:45 p.m. on October 2, 1955, when it was retired in favor of the more efficient EDVAC and ORDVAC computers. During its run, the ENIAC demonstrated the potential of electronic computing with its combination of full, Turing-complete programmability and unprecedented electronic speed. A technological breakthrough, the ENIAC answered myriad complex problems that previously took hours or days, in mere seconds. Marking the shift from mechanical to electronic computing, the ENIAC influenced future machines, enabled the digital revolution, and transformed science, warfare, and society as we know it.

The H8, H9, and H14 have been tested to be in working order and are in fine cosmetic condition, with waviness to the H9 screen.

Accompanied by a jam-packed ‘Heathkit Digital Computer Systems Reference Manual’ loaded with publications, schematics, and instruction guides, a ‘Heathkit Manual for the Video Terminal Model H9,’ a set of five Heath User’s Group software cassette tapes, and a period General Electric Cassette Recorder.

Popular among hobbyists, educators, and engineers, the H8 helped bridge the gap between early kit computers and practical desktop systems. Thanks to clear manuals and a reliable design that included a built-in ROM and buffered I/O, the H8 stood out for its ease of assembly, was more robust and modular than rivals like the Altair, and featured user-friendly LED displays instead of switches. The H8 became part of Zenith Data Systems after Heath was acquired by Zenith in 1979 for $63 million. Starting Bid $300

6173. Brown’s Computing Table (c. 1906). Unusual early 20th-century computing device, patented as “Brown’s Computing Table” on January 9, 1906, featuring a large cylindrical drum with numbered tables, turned by a wheel at the bottom. The device is housed in its original wooden case, measuring 14.5˝ x 19˝ x 14.75˝, with manufacturer’s plaque at the top: “Brown’s Computing Table, No. 1, Pat. Jan. 9, 1906, Manufactured by the Brown Mfg. Co., Otto, N.Y.,” with a portion of the plate blacked out. In very good to fine, functional condition, with some wear and staining to the internal drum.

Accompanied by a photocopy of the “computing device” patent granted to George M. Brown, which describes his invention: “This invention relates to an improved device for rapidly determining the value of a certain line of goods at a given price without mathematical calculation, and has for its object to produce a device of this character which will have a very large range both in respect to the prices and quantities, which will be very compact in structure, and which will be so simple as to render mistakes impossible. To these ends the invention consists, essentially, of a table divided into a number of divisions designated by the even hundreds, said divisions being subdivided and numbered so as to give the value of the intermediate numbers between the even hundreds and also of those numbers plus one thousand.”

By way of example: “Should it be desired to find the value of five hundred and thirteen pounds at one dollar and five cents per hundred, the cylinder is turned until the column headed by $1.05 in the division marked 1-500 is adjacent the edge of the rod. The upper numeral in the space opposite the space on the rod, designated by the numeral 13, gives the desired value, which is five dollars and thirty-nine cents. The numeral directly below this gives the price of fifteen hundred and thirteen pounds at one dollar and five cents per hundred, which is fifteen dollars and eighty-nine cents. In a similar manner the value of any quantity from one pound to two thousand pounds can be readily determined where the prices range between sixty-five cents and one dollar and sixty-five cents per hundred.” Starting Bid $200

Video Games

6174. Computer Space 2-Player Arcade Video Game.

Rare original two-player edition of the Computer Space arcade video game manufactured by Nutting Associates and released in July 1973, two years after the original one-player edition released by Syzygy Engineering, the company that evolved into Atari, made history by becoming the first arcade video game ever created and the first commercially available video game. The game is enclosed in its original futuristic green sparkle (metallic flake) fiberglass cabinet, the only color option issued for this version, and approximately measures 29.5˝ x 66.5˝ x 32˝, with the back bearing the Nutting Association parts label, which reads: “Model No. 724C, Serial No. 30644.”

The front control panel features a 25-cent quarter slot, a coin return button, a red ‘Start Game’ button, a green “Two Player Operation” button, and two original rotational joysticks topped with red “Fire Missile” buttons. The game’s simple gameplay instructions, printed beneath the monitor, read as follows:

1. Insert quarter; press two-player if desired; press start button. (Two-player option must be selected before start button is pressed.)

2. In one-player operation, player one is pitted against the computer-controlled saucer.

3. In two-player operation, player one and player two are pitted against each other.

4. In one-player operation, outscore computer-controlled saucer for extended play.

The cabinet is in fine condition, with some slight scuffing and scratching to the body; the machine itself lights up, and the screen is functional. Original working 2-player Computer Space arcades are practically unobtainable and very rarely offered for public sale, with this example all the more impressive for its immaculate cabinet and original parts.

A coin-operated derivative of the 1962 computer game Spacewar!, the original one-player Computer Space made its official public debut at the Music Operators of America (MOA) Expo, which was held at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago, Illinois, on October 15-17, 1971. Syzygy founders Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney were thrilled with the early response, as was their manufacturer, Bill Nutting of Mountain View, California, whose company Nutting Associates greenlit initial production sometime in November or December, and then full production near the end of January 1972. The ultimate sales tally was modest, but the game’s success led to a two-player sequel (offered here), and the game’s telltale cabinet even made cameos in the 1973 film Soylent Green (marking the first appearance of a video game in a movie) and Steven Spielberg’s 1975 summer blockbuster Jaws. After parting ways with Nutting after the release of the original Computer Space, Bushnell and Dabney sought to incorporate Syzygy Engineering but learned that the name already existed in California. Inspired by the Japanese game Go, they changed the company name to Atari and ignited the video game revolution with PONG (1972), Home PONG (1975), and the Atari 2600 console (1977).

Section 4

Bidding

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 5 Bidding Options

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

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

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

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

Section 6 Payment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 8

Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges

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

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

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

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

Section 9

Title

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

Section 10

Rights Reserved

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

Section 11

Conducting the Auction

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

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

11.3 Reserves

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

11.4 Off-Site Bidding

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

11.5 Estimate Prices:

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

11.6 Owned or Guaranteed Property:

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

11.7 Before the Auction:

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

11.8 Maximum Bids In All Auctions:

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

11.9 Successful Bids:

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

11.10 Unsold Lots:

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

11.11 Bidding in Timed Auction:

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

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

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

11.12 Bidding - Internet Live Auction:

but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

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

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

11.13 Miscellaneous:

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

Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with ”donot-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available.

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

Section 12

RR Auction’s Remedies

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

Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Section 13 Warranties

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

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

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

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

Section 14

Firearms

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

Section 15

Unauthorized Statements

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

Section 16

Bidder’s Remedies

16.1 Except as stated expressly herein, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy related to or pertaining to items it bids upon, views, or purchases from RR Auc-

tion, and any claims by Bidder related to authenticity, ownership, condition, title or value, shall be against Consignor only.

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

16.3

Title to Items

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

16.4 Authenticity Challenge Process

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

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

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

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

any and all claims by Bidder pertaining to the item other than with respect to authenticity; and

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

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

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

Section 17

RR Auction’s Additional Services

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

Headings

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

Section 19

Entire Agreement

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

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

Section 20

Governing Law and Enforcement

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

20.2 The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, any other related agreement(s), along with all claims between the Parties, including those arising out of or related to such are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Mas-

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

20.3 The Parties consent to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all claims between the Parties except as provided specifically herein and may seek confirmation of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in any Court of competent jurisdiction, including the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. To the extent such is necessary under the law, RR Auction may enforce the Arbitration award against Bidder and any related Party in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as RR Auction consenting to jurisdiction or venue in any location outside of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

THE PARTIES MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER AS A CLASS OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLAIMED CLASS, OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE ACTION UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED, THE CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OF THE OTHER CANNOT BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED WITH MORE THAN ONE ADDITIONAL PERSON OR ENTITIES’ CLAIMS. NO INJUNCTIVE OR DECLATORY RELIEF SOUGHT BY BIDDER IF ANY, CAN AFFECT OR BE ORDERED TO AFFECT ANY OTHER BIDDERS OR PERSONS.

20.4 Except as provided specifically in these Conditions of Sale in Bidder’s Remedies against RR Auction (along with its affiliates, directors, agents, officers, employees, and contractors) for any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other related agreement(s), brought by Bidder must be brought within the earlier of the Auction Date as it pertains to the item(s) at issue or no later than one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances occurred giving rise to the alleged claim, without exception. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute bar to and release of any claims by Bidder initiated after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-actions brought by Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale.

20.5 To the fullest extent under applicable law and except as specifically stated herein Bidder hereby holds harmless, releases and discharges RR Auction and its agents, officer’s directors, affiliates, successors, and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, damages, causes of action, suits, demands, losses, debts, and expenses of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected existing prior to these Conditions of Sale. Bidder agrees to the Conditions of Sale and upon each instance that Bidder participates in any auction, bids, or otherwise agrees to such terms and reaffirms this release as of the date of so participating or agreeing unless Bidder otherwise provides clear written notice to RR Auction prior to so bidding.

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

20.7 Liquidated Damages for Specific Breaches

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

ages and liabilities fees that are difficult to calculate on an item-by-item basis.

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

Section 21: State-by-State Law Issues

This Auction is being conducted in and the sale shall take place in the State of Massachusetts. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, should these terms and conditions violate the law of any State should that state’s law be found to govern, or any provision herein determined to be invalid, the clause itself and the remainder of the Agreement shall be valid to the fullest extent allowed. Also, to the extent other states law apply to any transaction arising out of the Agreement (without admitting such), RR Auction states:

For Residents of California:

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.

For over 40 years, relationships have been the backbone of RR Auction. We have made it a priority to keep our consignors informed and involved, encouraging them to share their voices, to instill their knowledge, and to forge a partnership based on our shared passion for history. With a mutual desire to achieve greatness, these relationships are at the heart of our success.
