The Steve Jobs Revolution: Engelbart, Atari, and Apple Bidding closes March 17

BILL DAUL

A longtime friend and colleague of Douglas Engelbart LOTS 8001 - 8006 A rare people-centric thinker in the ones-and-zeroes tech space, Bill Daul has dedicated his career to building the synergistic links between individuals and organizations that allow new technologies to emerge and flourish. He was a member of Douglas Engelbart’s pioneering research team at SRI International, and has longstanding ties to industry pioneers like Vint Cerf (a ‘father of the internet’ as co-developer of TCP/IP) and Ted Nelson (an information technology pioneer and philosopher, who coined the terms ‘hypertext’ and ‘hypermedia’).

‘Skeleton’ of an early Engelbart computer mouse, with signed patent diagram

8001. Douglas Engelbart: ‘Skeleton’ Early Mouse with X-Y Axis. Rare, early three-button ‘skeleton’ computer

mouse designed by computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart, measuring approximately 4" x 2.75" x 2", which utilizes two metal discs (corresponding to the X-axis and Y-axis) on the bottom to locate the position of the cursor, rather than a ball or optical light that came to be used later. Complete with its original cord, terminating in a serial connector. Missing its outer case, this ‘skeleton’ version of an early Engelbart mouse is fascinating from both visual and tactile perspectives. In fine condition. Accompanied by a glossy 8.5 x 11 photo of a diagram for Engelbart’s computer mouse patent issued in 1970, entitled “X-Y Position Indicator for a Display System,” signed and inscribed in the lower border in black felt tip, “For friend Bill Daul, Doug Engelbart, March 2006.”

This mouse was personally given by computer visionary Douglas Engelbart to his friend and colleague, Bill Daul, who joined as a member of Engelbart’s pioneering research team at SRI - International.

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.’In addition to being the first public demonstration of a computer mouse, Engelbart’s

2 Steve Jobs and Apple | (603) 732-4280

presentation introduced several additional fundamental elements of modern personal computing: windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, word processing, dynamic file linking, and revision control.

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.

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. From the collection of Bill Daul, a longtime friend and colleague of Douglas Engelbart.

Starting Bid $1,000

Rare computer mouse and coding keyset created by Doug Engelbart, as used in the ‘Mother of All Demos’

8002. Douglas Engelbart: X-Y Axis Mouse and Coding Keyset. Rare pair of early input devices—a mouse and a coding keyset—

created by computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart, like those used in his iconic 1968 ‘Mother of All Demos.’ The rare, early three-button computer mouse designed by Engelbart, measuring approximately 4˝ x 2.75˝ x 2.5˝, utilizes two metal discs (corresponding to the X-axis and Y-axis) on the bottom to locate the position of the cursor, rather than a ball or optical light that came to be used later. The coding keyset, measuring 5˝ x 1.25˝ x 1.5˝, features five keys (permitting 31 key-press combinations), for typing and entering commands. Both devices are complete with their cords, which terminate in serial connectors. As demonstrated in the ‘Mother of All Demos,’ this configuration allowed a user to point and click using the mouse in the right hand, while entering commands using the keyset on the left. These were personally given by computer visionary Douglas Engelbart to his friend and colleague, Bill Daul, who was a member of Engelbart’s pioneering research team at SRI - International. From the collection of Bill Daul, a longtime friend and colleague of Douglas Engelbart. Starting Bid $2,500

8004. Douglas Engelbart Signed Photograph. Glossy

8.5 x 11 photo of a diagram for Engelbart’s luminous display patent issued in 1960, entitled “Luminous Display Device,” signed across the bottom in black felt tip, “Doug Engelbart.” In fine condition.

In 1955, Engelbart received his doctorate from UC Berkeley for a computer-technical thesis on gas plasma screens. Arising from his research in that area, this patent, essentially an early example of the now-ubiquitous flatscreen display, came at a time when most computer output came in the form of a paper printout, or—at best—a CRT display. It is another testament to Engelbart’s technical skill and visionary foresight in the realm of personal computing. From the collection of Bill Daul, a longtime friend and colleague of Douglas Engelbart. Starting Bid $200

8005. Douglas Engelbart Signed Photograph. Glossy 8.5 x 11 photo of a diagram for Engelbart’s magnetic logic device patent issued in 1963, entitled “Magnetic Logic Device,” signed in the lower left in black felt tip, “Doug Engelbart.” In fine condition.

This patent represents Engelbart’s early work on magnetic logic devices, which are inherently more stable than vacuum tubes and transistors, draw no power when unused, and are impervious to electromagnetic interference. Though this technology was soon surpassed by the advent of the integrated circuit and the silicon chip, the reliability and stability of magnetic core devices made them useful for applications in extreme environments, such as spaceflight.

From the collection of Bill Daul, a longtime friend and colleague of Douglas Engelbart. Starting Bid $200

8006. Douglas Engelbart Signed Stamp Block.

Complete block of forty 32-cent “Computer Technology” postage stamps, signed across the center in black felt tip, “Doug Engelbart.”

In fine condition. Accompanied by an unsigned example of the same stamp sheet. On October 8, 1996, the U.S. Postal Service issued these 32-cent “Computer Technology” stamps to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the unveiling of ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) and the pervasive influence of computers and computer technology in modern life. The stamp’s graphics—pixelized PCBs over the outline of a human brain—also act as a fitting tribute to a founder of the field of human-computer interaction, Douglas Engelbart. From the collection of Bill Daul, a longtime friend and colleague of Douglas Engelbart. Starting Bid $200

8007. Vannevar Bush: ‘As We May Think’ in The Atlantic (July 1945). Hard-to-find complete issue of The Atlantic from July

1945 (Volume 176, No. 1), featuring the first appearance of Vannevar Bush’s visionary essay, “As We May Think.” Boston, MA: The Atlantic Monthly Company, 1945. Subscriber’s edition in its original wrappers, 7.5 x 10.5, [1]-129,[5] pages. In good condition, with spine panel bare and reinforced by clear tape, front cover partially detached at top, tiny binding holes along left edge, and typical edgewear and light creases; interior clean and bright, with a clipped corner to the first page of “As We May Think” and a few trivial pencil marks to top margin of following pages.

Also includes a complete issue of Life from September 10, 1945, which features a reprint of “As We May Think” that includes illustrations of several of the concepts Bush puts forth—including the proposed memex desk, automatic typewriter, ‘cyclops’ universal-focus lens, and other futuristic technologies. The general concepts put forth by Bush have revolutionized everyday life through the widespread use of services like Google and Wikipedia. Starting Bid $200

Super rare first printing of ‘Moore’s Law’— the driving force behind innovation in computers

8008. Gordon Moore: ‘Cramming More Components onto Integrated Circuits’ (Moore’s Law) in Electronics (April 19, 1965). Rare complete issue of Electronics from April

19, 1965, featuring the first appearance of Gordon Moore’s essay, “Cramming more components onto integrated circuits,” in which he observes the log-linear relationship between device complexity and time, and posits a yearly doubling in the number of components that can be fit onto an integrated circuit. This doubling facilitated the ever greater miniaturization and processing power of electronic devices. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill, Inc., 1965. Bound in a red buckram hardcover library binding, containing all issues from January 11-April 19, 1965, complete with their front covers (some with affixed paper mailing labels), 8.75 x 11.25, totaling 1542 pages. In very good condition, with closely trimmed edges (with no loss of text), occasional library markings, appropriate discard stamps, and

6 Steve Jobs and Apple | (603) 732-4280

library stamps to textblock edges; the March 8, 1965 issue has some dampstaining to edges, and the April 19th issue containing Moore’s article is fine and clean.

In 1975, Moore slowed his prediction of a future rate of increase in complexity to ‘a doubling every two years, rather than every year.’

Now known as ‘Moore’s Law,’ this observation has been a driving force for progress in the semiconductor industry—it has been widely adopted as both a guide for long-term planning and in setting targets for research and development. It is this ever-increasing level of miniaturization that has reduced a room-sized mainframe to a handheld tablet, and made it exponentially more useful. That Moore was able to accurately establish this outlook in this 1965 article, just as computers were shifting from the transistor to the integrated circuit, is truly remarkable. Starting Bid $500

ALLAN ALCORN Creator of Pong as Atari employee no. 3 LOTS 8009 - 8017 Allan Alcorn revolutionized the video game industry in the 1970s as the creator of Pong, the first popular video arcade game. Alcorn was hired as Atari’’s third employee—after co-founders Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney—and put to work on a simple ping-pong game, which began as a training exercise. After a few months and a few tweaks, Alcorn had the game up and running—and it was actually fun to play! They deployed their coin-op prototype at the local tavern, Andy Capp’s, and soon it was so stuffed with quarters that it stopped working. With proof of concept demonstrated, Atari was able to start mass producing arcade cabinets—and Pong swept the nation.

Alcorn’s contributions to the fledgling tech industry did not stop there. He went on to help develop the home video game market by bringing an affordable, miniaturized version of Pong to market—this one using an innovative microchip instead of hard-wired electronics—and was the first to hire a college dropout hippy named Steve Jobs as an electronics technician. He would serve as a mentor to Jobs in Apple’s earliest days, introducing him to influential venture capitalists and providing Apple with computer chips at cost.

After leaving Atari in 1981, Alcorn became involved in several Silicon Valley startups in industries ranging from digital mapping and in-car navigation to multimedia slot machines. He joined Apple as a fellow in 1986, where he nurtured the development of QuickTime and the MPEG video compression standard.

Original blueprint for the Pong arcade game circuit, from the collection of its creator

8009. Allan Alcorn: Original Pong Schematics (c. 1972). Original blue line copy of the Pong schematic originally

drawn by Allan Alcorn, one page, 34 x 22, identified in the lower corner, “Pong, Al Alcorn,” with a listing of descending revision dates: “Jan 15, ‘73 to ‘E,’ Oct 16, ‘72, Sept 1, ‘72, Aug 11, ‘72.” Major sections of the schematic—areas of the circuit responsible for video generation—are labeled “Horizontal Sync,”“Horizontal Position,”“Vertical Sync,” and “Vertical Position,” while some other noteworthy areas are marked: “Score Sound Timer,” “Hit Sound,” and “Coin Switch.”

Notes in the lower left state: “1. All resistors are 1/4 W Carbon and are 1K unless otherwise stated, 2. All JK flip flops are 74107, 3. All D flip flops are 7474.” Folded and in fine condition, with light overall toning. Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by Alcorn, discussing his history as Atari’s first hired employee and the story behind his creation of Pong; he used this schematic to troubleshoot problems during the production of Pong arcade games.

Unlike modern video games that use microprocessors and software, Pong was developed using entirely hard-wired transistor-transistor logic (TTL), utilizing logic gates, flip flops, and counters to create a simple interactive game. Alcorn’s clever, innovative circuit has been widely studied and earned the praise of electrical engineers and video game enthusiasts alike. Like the game itself, the circuit’s elegant simplicity breaks things down to their component parts and uses some clever tricks to create the memorable Pong experience: prominent score counters at the top, segmented paddles that

8 Steve Jobs and Apple | (603) 732-4280

allow a player to put ‘English’ on the ball, variable ball velocity, and interactive gameplay sounds.

When Alcorn had finished creating the gameplay circuit, he was already over budget but had not yet created the sounds. Atari cofounders Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney insisted that they were essential. Alcorn recalls: Nolan said, “I want to have the sound cheering people when you make a score.” And Ted said, “I want it to have boos and hisses.” Instead of adding new components for sound, Alcorn realized that he could tap into the existing sync generator to make three tones: a low-pitched thunk when the ball bounces off the side walls, a higher-pitched blip when it hits a paddle, and a lower bleep when a point is scored. These sounds added a layer of immersion for Pong players. More importantly, though, they served as an advertisement for Pong in its context as an arcade cabinet deployed into the American barroom: other patrons, intrigued by the novel noises, sought out their source. Soon, they were lining up to play. Starting Bid $2,500

Quarter retrieved from the first Pong prototype, set up at Andy Capp’s Tavern in 1972

8010. Allan Alcorn: Pong ‘Andy Capp’s Tavern’ Quarter. Allan Alcorn’s original 1970 quarter recovered

from an early collection of coins from the first Pong prototype, which was deployed at Andy Capp’s Tavern in Sunnyvale, California. The game became so popular that the coin collection jug filled up more quickly than expected and jammed the internal switch, making the game inoperable. When Alcorn was called in to repair it, he discovered the problem—Pong was making too much money! The quarter was cast into plastic by Atari co-founder Ted Dabney and presented to Alcorn.

In fine condition, with some age toning to the acrylic. Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by Alcorn, discussing his history as Atari’s first hired employee and the story behind his creation of Pong; of this possibly unique quarter presentation—symbolic of the first coin used to play the first popular arcade video game—he notes: “There may have been other exemplars made but I don’t know of any.” Starting Bid $200

Unique ‘Home Pong’ prototype with hand-carved system/controller mockup 8011. Allan Alcorn: Pong ‘Home Edition’ Prototype/ Design Mock-Up (Black Box). Original prototype of an

Atari ‘Home Pong’ unit built with a finished Pong chip in a prototype circuit board in the base, measuring 20˝ x 9.5˝ x 8.25˝, featuring a hand-carved wooden mockup of the Pong system set upon the large black box. The system mock-up features two potentiometer paddle control knobs, a red ‘start game’ pushbutton, and a central metal grille for its built-in speaker. The general design cues seen here—from the three-part layout to the gently angled control panel surfaces—are reflected in the production models of ‘Home Pong,’ beginning with the Sears Tele-Games (1975) and subsequent Atari Pong Model C-100 (1976). The box, which has the electronics concealed inside, is powered by an AC adapter and has an on/off toggle switch on one side. This was the second of two Pong prototypes built by Atari that could be taken to show to potential customers: the chip fabrication had been set up and finalized, but the plastic cases were still in limbo.

However, this ‘black box’ prototype offered an accurate idea of the look, feel, and function of the finished product.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by Alcorn, discussing the initial success of the Pong arcade game and Atari’s efforts to create a commercial, consumer version of the game—which hinged upon the production of a small, affordable chip to replace the expensive hard-wired PCBs of the arcade version. As it turned out, the fabrication of a functional chip was ‘easy’—it was getting an injection molded plastic case for the system that was the main challenge in putting Pong in homes across America.

Alcorn writes, in full: “In 1975 Atari had managed to become dominant in the coin operated entertainment business and moved on to build video games for the home market. We had to get Pong running on a single chip of silicon so a product could be built at a price a consumer could afford. I had never designed a custom chip before but I had an engineer, Harold Lee, with me who did have the

experience and we managed to get the chip to work. I mistakenly thought that designing the chip would be the hardest part of the project but to my surprise the plastic case wound up taking longer and costing more money than the chip. We eventually did get the plastic to finished but in order to demonstrate the product to potential customers like Sears we had to demo it with a handmade wooden mockup of what the finish case would look like. The wooden mockup was attached to a box that had the electronics in the base and did look and function pretty much like the finished Pong game.

There were two prototypes like this that we could take and show to potential customers; the first one had the wire wrap prototype for the chip in the base and was very heavy and delicate. It is now in the permanent collection of the Computer History Museum. This is the second prototype that was built and has finished Pong chip in a prototype circuit board in the base. At this point we had the chip but not the plastics.” Starting Bid $2,500

Within the first year we became a dominant arcade game manufacturer and realize that the coin operated arcade business was only so big but to truly profit from video games we needed to have something we could sell to the home. The only

way we could do this was to put all the circuitry on a single silicon chip that we could buy for less than $10 because the arcade game had about $100 worth of components in it. Unfortunately, I had never designed a custom chip but Nolan insisted. Harold Lee was an engineer that worked for me designing coin operated games and he told me that he could use his previous experience to perhaps put the entire Pong game on a single chip. This sounded like fun so I put a small team together that that included myself, Harold in my wife and in about six months we had a design. We convinced a local semiconductor company call American Microsystems Inc. (AMI) to build a prototype chip for us. Much to my surprise and delight the chip worked.

Now that we had a working prototype we had to figure out where we were going to sell it. Our marketing man called Sears in Chicago and got ahold of the one man at Sears that understood what a home version of pond meant, Tom Quinn.

One-of-a-kind ‘portable Pong’ unit built with an early prototype board and chip 8014. Allan Alcorn: Atari Pong ‘Home Edition’ Portable Prototype (Wooden Case). Original battery-

powered prototype of an Atari ‘Home Pong’ unit built with an early prototype circuit board and an early prototype Pong chip, measuring 10.75˝ x 8˝ x 4˝, housed in a wooden case with translucent acrylic bottom panel. On top are an “off/on” switch, “start” button,” two potentiometer paddle control knobs, and a metal grille for its built-in speaker. The housing is crafted from black melamine/MDF panels with solid wood sides and plastic bottom, and has a single video output cable terminating in an RCA connector. Fabricated by Atari’s design group after receiving a large purchase order from Sears, this alternative wooden case was designed to be easily and quickly mass-produced so that the contract could be fulfilled on time. In the end, the plastic case was ready and this simplified rectangular model never reached production. To Alcorn’s knowledge, this was the only Pong prototype built in this configuration.

Tom came out to see us a few days after our call and was astonished at the youth of our company but he saw the value in this product and eventually ordered close to 1 million units.

Unfortunately I underestimated the difficulty in getting an injection molded plastic case into production. It turned out to take longer than designing the chip and cost more money to get into production. We now had over 100,000 of them sold to Sears but had no plastic case to put it in. Nolan wanted me to design an alternative package that might cost more but it could be built in time to fulfill the Sear’s contract. I told Nolan that if I tried to get the plastic case and an alternative wooden case designed I would probably screw up both of them. So then Nolan commissioned our design group to design a wooden prototype case very quickly and this is the only one made to my knowledge. It has an early prototype circuit board and an early prototype Pong chip in it.” Starting Bid $2,500

Atari became the advanced development team for the rest of the coin op industry who simply stole our ideas. We did not have the resources to stop these copiers but the one thing we did have that they didn’t was the ability to design the next game. We decided to build a game that simulated flying a rocket through a moving field of stars. The first player to navigate a certain number of star fields was the winner.

Soon this game was put into production and was the second game that Atari produced. It was not as successful as Pong but it put the rest of the industry on notice that we had more to give than just Pong.

As I designed each functional block of logic I would draw the schematic for that on a B sized sheet of graph paper. This lot consists of five pages that once put together, represented the design for the finished game. Eventually the schematic was re-drawn on one large sheet and became the production release. This set of schematics is unique and drawn by myself.” Starting Bid $1,000

Original wire-wrap prototype of Space Race, Atari’s second arcade game

8016. Allan Alcorn: Atari Space Race Original Prototype. Original prototype of Atari’s second coin operated

video game, Space Race, designed and built by Allan Alcorn in 1973.

This was the very first racing arcade game, and the first Atari video game to use joysticks. In it, two players race rocket ships from the bottom of the screen to the top, avoiding asteroid obstacles along the way. The prototype is housed a 17˝ x 14˝ x 3.25˝ aluminum chassis, which contains the wire wrap prototype and power supply. The box has a standard power cord and an output cable that featured an NTSC video signal and analog sound. The top panel features two toggle switches (allowing each player to move his spaceship up or down), a power switch, a switch to simulate a coin drop, and a start game button.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by Alcorn, describing the prototype and the history of the game. In part: “Original prototype of Atari’s second coin operated video game Space Race designed and built by myself in 1973. It is an aluminum chassis box that contains the wire wrap prototype and power supply for the video game Space Race which features two spaceships attempting to traverse a moving star field.

The prototype has a power cord and an output cable that features an NTSC video signal and analog sound. The prototype has two toggle

switches so each player can move his spaceship up or down, a power switch, a switch to simulate a coin drop and a start game button.

After the successful introduction of Pong in 1972 numerous companies copied it and I estimate that copiers made and sold twice as many copies of Pongs as Atari did. These copies were made by small manufacturers that did not have the ability to design these new highspeed digital video games.We competed with these copiers by creating new games and selling as many as we could before they were able to copy it. Space Race was the first Atari video game to use joysticks.”

Early Apple II computer given to Al Alcorn by Steve Jobs 8017. Allan Alcorn: Apple II Computer Given by Steve Jobs. Very early original Apple II computer personally given by

Apple founder Steve Jobs to Pong creator Allan Alcorn in lieu of stock in Apple Computer. Alcorn had given Jobs his start in the industry, first by hiring him at Atari and later by making introductions to potential investors and providing computer chips to Apple at cost.

Later, Jobs offered Alcorn equity in the growing company—Alcorn said he said he’d take a free Apple II instead. This is that computer.

The bottom bears an “Apple Computer Inc.” label, identifying the machine as “Serial No. A2S1-0209.” It is an early example with the original ‘raised key’ power light and Datanetics keyboard, with Rev. 0 motherboard serial number 401 (marked correctly as “1-401”).

Inside, the board carries an original Apple 16k Language Card, 48k on-board Dynamic RAM and Apple II+ compatibility upgrade to Applesoft basic ROMs, and replacement third-party Accupower 120V power supply. A few handwritten notations have been made on the top of the case.

Accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from Alcorn, in full: “1973 we were growing fast and we needed talented staff. A teenage hippy dropout from Reed College applied for a job as a technician and I hired him because he could solder, read a schematic and was cheap. That was Steve Jobs. He soon saved up enough money to fund his trip to India to meet his guru and when he returned a year later he asked for his old job back. His buddy, Woz, designed a single board computer they called the Apple and first offered it to us at

Atari to build but we declined as we were busy creating the home video game market. We introduced them to venture capitalist and sold them integrated circuits at our cost to help them get started. Jobs offered me stock in Apple but I said I already had enough wallpaper and said I’d like a free Apple II computer instead. Bad decision.

On the chosen weekend Jobs, Woz and half the company, maybe a dozen people, showed up at my home to give me my Apple II. We hooked it up to the projection TV in my living room and Woz showed me how to program tiny basic. Soon I was programming and told my wife I could make it do anything. She asked me to make it wash the dishes or mop the floor and I told her I couldn’t do that so she told me to get it out of the living room.

I used this Apple II as my main home workstation until I joined Apple Computer as a fellow in 1986 and I got my first Mac. It has been in my possession since Steve gave it to me.” Starting Bid $1,000

“When this you see, remember me, Little else can I say, remember me, as you may”

20 Steve Jobs and Apple | (603) 732-4280

“Steve Jobs” waxes poetic as a high school junior 8018. Steve Jobs Signed 1971 High School Yearbook.

Amazing hardcover 1971 Pegasus yearbook from Steve Jobs’s junior year at Homestead High School in Cupertino, California, 8.75 x 11.25, 210 pages. Jobs has signed vertically on page 8 in black ballpoint: “When this you see, remember me, Little else can I say, remember me, as you may. Steve Jobs.” Jobs’s handwritten poem was perhaps inspired by the Henry David Thoreau phrase running along the page’s lower border, “However Measured…or Faraway.” Additionally, Jobs is pictured as a member of the junior class on page 157; Chrisann Brennan, Jobs’ girlfriend and the mother of his first child, is pictured as a sophomore on page 163; and Bill Fernandez, a close friend of Jobs and Apple employee No. 4, is pictured as a junior on page 156.

The book bears multiple signatures and inscriptions to the original owner. In fine condition. A remarkable time capsule keepsake that, more than the vast majority of other Jobs-signed formats, offers a fascinating glimpse into his most developmental years. Jobs’s poetic addition likewise harkens back to Apple’s iconic 1997 ‘Think Different’ television commercial, a salute to counterculture ideals and to ‘the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes.’ While often misattributed to Jobs—it was created by a collective including Rob Siltanen and Lee Clow—the poem directed its message to the next generation, daring them to look outside the box, because, as the commercial explains: ‘The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.’

Includes a lengthy letter of provenance from the original owner of the yearbooks, a high school classmate of Jobs’ at Homestead High School in Cupertino, California; a color 3.5 x 3.5 candid photo of the consignor that dates to a 1972 dinner she had with Jobs; and a photo of the consignor with her father at Jobs’s extravagant 30th birthday party. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. The provenance letter reads: “Steve Jobs and I attended the same junior high and high schools. Our homes in Los Altos were half a mile apart. We became good friends as juniors and seniors at Homestead High. I was one of his few female friends, since he was closest with the guys who shared his interests in electronics and pranks. There was a group of us that would go together to the beach and to Christmas Eve midnight services at the Memorial Chapel at Stanford University.

When he and Woz thought law enforcement was closing in on their Blue Box operation, he brought the equipment over to my house to hide in my room. My father, who worked in the defense telecommunications industry, found out and insisted I return it to Steve, which I did.

I tossed of all my childhood pictures and keepsakes when I went to college (except for the yearbooks), but I have pictures from a dinner in 1972 at Christmastime, when we returned from our first quarter at college for winter break. It was at a Chinese restaurant in Mountain View. We walked in the back door and were told there were no tables. Steve told the host that we had a reservation. He insisted on it, even though it wasn’t true. Such was his 17-year-old power of persuasion that our group was seated promptly.

The period of time that I hung out most with Steve was the fall of 1976. I had graduated Berkeley that year but didn’t yet have a real job. Steve had set up the Apple shop in his parents’ garage. I was working temp secretarial jobs and hung out in the garage in the evenings and weekends to get out of the house. Steve and Woz were selling the Apple I and the logo was Isaac Newton with an apple falling on his head.They were developing the Apple II. In November, I got a government job offer and accepted it. Steve thought I was making a mistake. ‘This is going to be big!’ he said. ‘Maybe,’ I replied, ‘but they’ll give me health insurance!’ I moved away and saw him only occasionally after that.

Most memorably, he invited me and my father to his 30th birthday party in February, 1985 at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco.

He seated us at his table. It was black tie, the fanciest dinner I ever attended. Ella Fitzgerald sang ‘Happy Birthday to You.’ It was quite an evening, even getting a writeup in Herb Caen’s popular San Francisco Chronicle column.

Steve was the most fascinating person I ever knew: intense, impatient, inspiring, curious, challenging, enigmatic, frustrating, funny. Looking back I wonder if his intensity and impatience came from a premonition that he didn’t have any time to waste.” Starting Bid $1,000

8019. Steve Jobs (2) Candid Photographs as a College Freshman with 1972 High School Yearbook.

Two never-before-seen color 3.5 x 3.5 candid photos of Steve Jobs from December 1972, depicting him as a long-haired 17-year-old relaxing with friends at a Chinese restaurant in Mountain View, California. Jobs, who in the two pictures is shown lighting a friend’s cigarette and smiling broadly with a place mat in his hands, was home from his first and only semester at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. In overall fine condition.

Accompanied by a scarce hardcover 1972 Pegasus yearbook from Jobs’s senior year at Homestead High, picturing him on page 24; Chrisann Brennan, Jobs’ girlfriend and the mother of his first child, and Bill Fernandez, a close friend of Jobs and Apple employee No. 4., are also pictured in the yearbook. The consignor, the original owner of the photos and yearbook, was a friend and high school classmate of Jobs’ at Homestead High School in Cupertino, California. She recalls the night the photos were taken, stating that it was ‘from a dinner in 1972 at Christmastime, when we returned from our first quarter at college for winter break. It was at a Chinese restaurant in Mountain View. We walked in the back door and were told there were no tables. Steve told the host that we had a reservation.

Looking back I wonder if his intensity and impatience came from a premonition that he didn’t have any time to waste.’

From Walter Isaacson’s 2011 authorized biography (Simon & Schuster, pp. 40-41, Kindle Edition): ‘Jobs quickly became bored with college. He liked being at Reed, just not taking the required classes.

In fact he was surprised when he found out that, for all of its hippie

22 Steve Jobs and Apple | (603) 732-4280

aura, there were strict course requirements. When [Steve] Wozniak came to visit, Jobs waved his schedule at him and complained, ‘They are making me take all these courses.’ Woz replied, ‘Yes, that’s what they do in college.’ Jobs refused to go to the classes he was assigned and instead went to the ones he wanted…Jobs also began to feel guilty, he later said, about spending so much of his parents’ money on an education that did not seem worthwhile. ‘All of my workingclass parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition,’ he recounted in a famous commencement address at Stanford. ‘I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay.’

He didn’t actually want to leave Reed; he just wanted to quit paying tuition and taking classes that didn’t interest him. Remarkably, Reed tolerated that. ‘He had a very inquiring mind that was enormously attractive,’ said the dean of students, Jack Dudman. ‘He refused to accept automatically received truths, and he wanted to examine everything himself.’ Dudman allowed Jobs to audit classes and stay with friends in the dorms even after he stopped paying tuition.

‘The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn’t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting,’he said. Among them was a calligraphy class that appealed to him after he saw posters on campus that were beautifully drawn.

‘I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and I found it fascinating.’ From his Stanford speech: ‘If I had never dropped in on that single calligraphy course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts.’ Starting Bid $200

8022. Steve Jobs: Original 1976 Apple-I Advertising Flyer. Rare original advertising flyer from the Apple Computer

Company, which was handed to the consignor by Steve Jobs in his Los Altos ‘Apple garage’ in the fall of 1976. The dual-sided sheet, 8.5 x 11, lists information and pricing for the Apple-1 desktop computer, the Apple Cassette Interface with included BASIC tape, and Apple 4K Byte RAM expansion memory. The front side is headed “Apple Introduces the First Low Cost Microcomputer System with a Video Terminal and 8K Bytes of RAM on a Single PC Card,” with lower informational text and an image of the Apple-1 motherboard. The reverse shows an image of the Apple Cassette Interface above a pricing chart and Ron Wayne’s original Apple logo, with text to left margin and the original slogan: “Byte into an Apple.” Both sides bear the company’s mailing address and phone number: “770 Welch Rd., Palo Alto, CA 94304, (415) 326-4248.” In very good to fine condition, with light creasing, light dampstaining along the lower edge, and faint lines on the back from onetime storage in a magnetic photo album.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, a high school classmate of Jobs’at Homestead High School in Cupertino, California: “This advertisement for the Apple I computer system was given to me by Steve Jobs in the fall of 1976 when I was hanging out in his garage computer shop. We had become friends in high school.”

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 Cassette Interface (ACI) provided the ability to save memory contents onto a standard audio tape, and later load the contents back into the computer’s memory. Revolutionary for the time, Steve Wozniak designed the ACI to use only 6 integrated circuits, compared to other solutions which used 50 to 100 integrated circuits. This allowed Apple to sell their solution for less than their competitors; the Apple ACI also operated at four times the speed of its contemporary competitors. Starting Bid $200

The 18-year-old Steve Jobs seeks employment at Atari as an “electronics tech or design engineer” 8021. Steve Jobs Signed Atari Job Application and NFT. Incredible Atari job application questionnaire filled out and

signed by Steve Jobs, one page, 8.5 x 11, annotated 1973 in another hand. Jobs fills out the document with his name, “Steven jobs”; address, “reed college”; phone, “none”; and major, “english lit.” In the middle section, he writes “yes” in response to ‘Driver’s License?’ and “possible, but not probable,” in reply to ‘Access to transportation?’

With regard to his skills, next to ‘Computer’ and ‘Calculator,’ he writes, “yes (design, tech).” At the bottom, he describes his ‘Special Abilities’ as “electronics tech or design engineer. digital.—from Bay near Hewitt-Packard [sic].”In very good condition, with intersecting folds, overall creasing, light staining, and some old clear tape to the top edge. Accompanied by full letters of authenticity from PSA/ DNA and Beckett Authentication Services.

Jobs was perusing the tech industry’s help-wanted classifieds in the San Jose Mercury when an Atari headline caught his eye: ‘Have fun, make money.’ When the unkempt teen showed up in Atari’s office—and refused to leave until they gave him a job—the personnel manager didn’t know whether to let him in or call the cops. Knowing that the dropout youngster would be cheap to hire, Atari’s chief engineer—Pong creator Allan Alcorn—said: ‘Send him in!’

Includes a letter of provenance signed by Alcorn, in part: “This is to establish the authenticity of this document as the actual job application that Steve Jobs submitted to Atari when he applied to be a technician. In 1973 Atari was about a year old and we were now dominant in the coin operated amusement industry and growing fast. I was the vice president of engineering and had two or three engineers each working on individual video game projects. A team would consist of an engineer who would design the circuitry for a new game and a technician who would build the prototype of that game. One of my engineers needed a technician so we ran an ad in the local paper. Our personnel manager, Penny Chapler, said we

had a candidate but he was very young and would I be interested in interviewing him. He was a college dropout and a bit of a hippie but he could solder and wire wrap. So, I hired him.”

Now employed at Atari, Jobs put his technical skills to work while relying on the help of his friend Steve Wozniak. Jobs famously farmed out the engineering of the ‘Breakout’ prototype to Woz, who implemented several innovative cost-savings circuit designs—earning a $5000 bonus for Jobs, who reportedly kept it a secret. At Atari, Jobs learned to keep user interfaces simple and intuitive—after all, the company’s success was rooted in Pong’s simplicity: ‘Deposit Quarter, Avoid Missing Ball for High Score.’ This sort of elegant user-friendliness would become a hallmark of Jobs’s later products— from the one-button mouse to the touchscreen iPhone.

In 1976, Jobs and Wozniak set out on their own and founded Apple, introducing the personal computer to the masses. This remarkable employment questionnaire reveals Jobs’s early aspiration to work in the fledgling tech industry, which he would soon revolutionize forever.

Incredibly rare and historic 1976 Apple Computer check signed by Jobs and Woz— a payment to Kierulff Electronics for Apple-1 parts

8020. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak Signed 1976 Apple Computer Check.Excessively rare and absolutely his-

toric Apple Computer Company check, 6 x 3, filled out and signed

by Steve Jobs, “steven jobs,” and countersigned by Steve Wozniak, “Steve Wozniak,” payable to Kierulff Electronics for $3430, July 15, 1976. Headed “Apple Computer Company,” the check 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 very fine condition. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.

This extraordinary check comes from the foundational moment of Apple Computer, today the most valuable company in the world.

Three months earlier, on April 1, 1976, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ron Wayne signed the company’s original partnership agreement. Shortly thereafter, Wozniak first demonstrated the Apple-1 prototype at a meeting of Palo Alto’s Homebrew Computer Club.

Upon seeing interest amidst the membership, he and Jobs pooled their resources to have the printed circuit boards produced. Like most hobbyist computers of the time, they conceived the Apple-1 as a kit to be soldered together by the end user.

However, 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. 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.’

26 Steve Jobs and Apple | (603) 732-4280

However, Jobs and Woz weren’t prepared to fill such a massive order—what began as a $1,000 investment in PCBs grew to over $20,000 in expected material costs. Banks found it easy to refuse loans to ‘a couple of hippy kids,’ and most electronics vendors were skeptical. Jobs caught a break when he met with Bob Newton, the division manager of Kierulff Electronics in Palo Alto. The episode is discussed in Return to the Little Kingdom: Steve Jobs and the Creation of Apple by Michael Mortiz: ‘Newton...met Jobs and examined both him and the prototype. ‘He was just an aggressive little kid who didn’t present himself very professionally.’Nevertheless, Newton agreed to sell Jobs $20,000 worth of parts and explained that if the bill was paid within thirty days Jobs would not be charged interest. Jobs, unfamiliar with accounting rubric, recalled: ‘We didn’t know what ‘net thirty days’ was.’’

The components now successfully secured, Jobs and Wozniak spent ten days putting together, soldering, and testing the Apple-1 units before delivering them to The Byte Shop. 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 ten months or so, Jobs and Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers and sold 175 of them.

Based on the date of this check, it likely represents a payment for parts used in putting together the second batch of Apple-1 Computers.

As a document signed by Apple’s famed co-founders in the year of the company’s origin, and directly connected with the production of the Apple-1 Computer, this is an unparalleled, museum-quality piece. Few Apple autographs of such great significance have ever come to auction: this check might be rivaled only by the original partnership agreement, which achieved a $1.5 million result in 2011.

further certifies that the original from which this proof copy was reproduced, was created personally by the undersigned, in early 1976, and that since the original drawing had been delivered to Mr. Steve Jobs, this copy has been held in my personal possession. I have only ever had one copy of the document, after I completed the original for Mr. Jobs in 1976, and this is that proof copy.”

Ronald Wayne was Apple’s third co-founder, along with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, receiving a 10% stake in the company upon its formation. He was to be the tie-breaker between the ‘two Steves’ and act as the ‘adult in the room’—at age 41, he had much more practical business experience than Jobs and Woz, then 21 and 25.

Wayne’s principal acts were writing the original partnership agreement, illustrating the first Apple logo (Isaac Newton under a tree with an apple dangling overhead), and authoring the Apple-1 operating manual. Citing risk aversion, Wayne infamously relinquished his equity only weeks later for the sum of $800. From the personal computer-history collection of Roger Wagner. Starting Bid $1,000

8028. Steve Jobs 30th Birthday Celebration Table Card. Rare table card from Steve Jobs’s 30th birthday celebration

at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco on February 23, 1985, which derives from the personal collection of a close friend and former high school classmate of the Apple co-founder, who was one of a select few to sit with Jobs at his table during the birthday celebration. The cream-colored sheet, 5.5 x 5.5, features an “Old Hindu Proverb” above a sentiment of appreciation from Jobs; they read: “‘For the first thirty years of your life; you make your habits. For the last thirty years of your life, your habits make you,” and “You’ve helped me acquire my habits (good and bad). Thank you for joining me tonight to celebrate thirty more years of living with them.” A small black bow tie with white polka dots is printed at the bottom.

In fine condition, with a horizontal fold, and faint evidence on the back from onetime storage in a magnetic photo album.

Accompanied by a newspaper clipping of Herb Caen’s column from the February 26, 1985 issue of the San Francisco Chronicle,

mentioning Jobs’s party and calling him “Apple’s chairman and the rock star of the computer world,” and by a letter of provenance from the original recipient: “I knew Steve Jobs from junior high and high school, from classes and clubs and outings. We were friends. After college, I hung out in his garage as Apple was becoming a real thing.

I was delighted to be invited to his black tie 30th birthday party at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco on February 23, 1985. I invited my father, who said he’d be happy to ‘bask in the reflected glory of Steve Jobs!’ We were seated at Steve’s table. It was a lovely evening.

Ella Fitzgerald sang ‘Happy Birthday to You.’ I saved the printed note that was at every place setting, which thanked the guests for coming and featured a bow tie, one of his trademarks in those early pre-turtleneck days. I was impressed that it warranted a write-up in Herb Caen’s popular column in the San Francisco Chronicle.

It was a truly memorable event. Steve characterized the party as a celebration of ‘thirty more years,’ which, sadly, he was unable to attain.” Starting Bid $200

“Keep learning about computers anhow they are going to help us communicate with each other. You are our future” 8029. Steve Jobs Autograph Note Signed. Unique and

extraordinary one-page handwritten note by Steve Jobs, 4 x 7, signed and dated at the conclusion, “Steve Jobs, 26 October ‘82.” Jobs writes, in full: “To Brian Miller, When I was 6 years old we didn’t have computers. You’re lucky. Keep learning about computers and how they are going to help us communicate with each other. You are our future.” Matted and framed with two images to an overall size of 14 x 13.5. In fine condition, with light creasing and faint edge toning.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by Mark F. Miller, former executive vice president and general manager of Hearst Magazines, and a Trustee of the Hearst Family Trust. In part: “At a charity dinner in October of 1982, 3 years after I purchased the first Apple 2+ computer to use at Hearst Magazines, I met and sat with a young fellow named Steve Jobs. We talked about how his company’s computer, with a Hercules board boosting memory, allowed me to ultimately reshape and optimize my analytical approach to the future. I used the first spreadsheet program called VisiCalc along with WYSIWYG which helped me design better financial models increasing the odds for quick and successful business decisions. At that dinner, I asked Steve to write a message to my son Brian about what he might expect in the future. He said sure and pulled a scrap of paper out of his pocket and started to write this note. He asked what his name was and I said Brian and he is 6 years old. He immediately switched from script to printing so Brian could read his note better. In its simplicity, Steve was envisioning email and a very different future than that of the early 80s.”

Charming in its simplicity and visionary in its message, this autograph

by Steve Jobs embodies one of his key design principles—’You’ve

got to start with the customer experience and work back toward the technology—not the other way around.’ In this case, he considers the ability of a six-year-old to comprehend his message, simplifying his language and changing his usual cursive handwriting so that it might be understood. User experience was always at the forefront of Jobs’s imagination, even when composing a note for a child at a charity dinner. His prediction of the revolution in communication brought about by computers—first with email and the World Wide Web, and then with the iPhone—would, of course, prove correct beyond any doubt.

Macworld #1 signed by the Apple CEO— “He smiled, picked up a pen, signed the magazine, and we continued speaking about QuickTime” 8030. Steve Jobs Signed Issue of Macworld #1.

Original issue of Macworld #1 from February 1984, 144 pages, 9 x 10.75, signed on the front cover in blue ink by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs (“steve jobs”). The classic cover depicts Jobs as Apple Computer’s chairman of the board, posing with a trio of Macintosh computers upon their introduction to the world. In fine condition, with scattered foxing along the edges of the front cover.

Introduced in February 1984, Macworld magazine became the most popular Macintosh-focused magazine in North America; the premier issue is scarce and desirable in its own right. This rare, signed example originates from the collection of a senior product manager at Apple’s corporate office in Cupertino, CA, from 1991-1998. He writes: “I was a pretty hard core Apple fan. I even started a Mac Users Group with a couple of friends. We called it ChOMP, Champions of the Mac Proletariat in the 80s.

Having used computers, mainframes and personal computers since I was a kid in the 1970s, the Macintosh changed everything I thought about the future of computing, and technology in general.

I could hardly believe Apple wanted me to speak on behalf of their technology applications in higher education in the late 1980s and then asked me to join the company in the early 1990s. It was a thrill to meet and spend time with then Apple CEO John Scully during my first week. I still have the Apple tee shirt he signed for me that day as well as his “Chief Listener” business card.

Before long, I was the Product Manager for Apple’s QuickTime architecture. One of the coolest technologies in the company at that time. Quicktime democratized digital video, music, 3D, VR, and other dynamic media types, enabling the multimedia revolution of

the 1990s. I was working closely with some of the smartest people at Apple and the most creative customers in the world.

Several years and CEOs later, I could hardly believe I was being called in to meet with the original CEO of the company, Steve Jobs, to discuss QuickTime. Steve had just returned and was methodically meeting with Product Managers from every part of the company to get up to speed on current projects. I had a first issue copy of MacWorld Magazine in my office and brought it along so I could ask him to sign it. After showing him several demos, discussing the strategy behind the technology, and the vision for where it could go, when I knew he was really into it, I pulled out the magazine and asked for his autograph. I reminded him that I had invited NeXT to go head to head with Apple at a ChOMP meeting almost 10 years earlier just as he was launching, and that he had sent several people and Cubes down for the event. The NeXT boxes had been a very big hit.

He smiled, picked up a pen, signed the magazine, and we continued speaking about QuickTime for a while longer. I didn’t learn until later that my request was a risky move. Folks informed me that he didn’t like signing things, and that my request could have ended very differently. I didn’t know any better at the time. He was a bit of a hero to me, I had never asked anyone for an autograph before. I just thought he was super cool, I wanted to be more like him. I wanted to have something to remind me of the positive impact that his life had on my life journey.

I ended up working closely with Steve very soon after that, assisting with the iMac launch and other high profile initiatives. So many wonderful things would not have been had I not experienced all of this. I miss him.” Starting Bid $5,000

“Go change the world!”— ultra rare NeXT logo presentation booklet signed by Steve Jobs 8031. Steve Jobs Signed NeXT Logo Booklet. Incredibly rare original presentation booklet for the NeXT logo designed by important graphic artist Paul Rand, privately printed in 1986, 8.5 x 12, 20 pages, signed and inscribed on the title page in blue ballpoint, “William, Go change the world! steve jobs.” The fascinating booklet concisely explicates Rand’s design philosophy, and walks through his creative process in developing the NeXT logo. After selecting a typeface, Rand observes: “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.” He goes on to defamiliarize the common word ‘next,’ by making the ‘e’ lowercase and placing the letters into a cube. In the final steps, he adds color and demonstrates the versatility of the logo with its infinite scalability. In fine condition.

When Rand presented Jobs with the NeXT logo, he gave him one of these books and watched silently as Jobs perused it. Jobs later recalled: “The book itself was a surprise. I was convinced that each typographic example on the first few pages was the final logo. I was not quite sure what Paul was doing until I reached the end. And at that moment I knew we had a solution…. Rand gave us a jewel, which in retrospect seems so obvious.” This is a rare and prized piece of graphic arts ephemera even in unsigned copies, as Rand is universally recognized as one of America’s greatest commercial artists: in addition to NeXT, he created the logos for IBM, UPS, Enron, Westinghouse, ABC, and many more. That it is autographed

by Steve Jobs—a notoriously reluctant signer—with the imperative to “go change the world” makes it an even more remarkable and unique piece.

Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance from the original owner, in part: “My father, Dr. William G. ‘Bill’ Kenyon, worked for DuPont, and was an organic chemist specializing in the precision

cleaning of printed circuit boards. He was recognized as a worldwide expert in this niche field, eventually earning a place in the Institute for Printed Circuits (IPC) Hall of Fame…In the fall of 1988, I came home from college, and my father presented me with this very interesting booklet about the development of the logo for the NeXT Computer. He had recently met Steve Jobs at a followup event to the October launch of NeXT Inc., and had him sign the booklet for me. Even then, I knew this was pretty special, and have cherished his simple, yet direct suggestion that I endeavor to ‘Go change the world!’

The process of designing the NeXT logo was undertaken by Paul Rand, a titan of graphic design, for the flat fee of $100,000. His design process for the logo from start to finish is clearly laid out in this development booklet, and Paul Rand’s presentation of the original booklet is detailed on pages 219-220 of Walter Issacson’s biography of Steve Jobs.

I’m sure this design process appealed to Mr. Jobs’ fascination with art & design. Many people know of his fascination with typefaces, resulting from a calligraphy class taken during his brief stint in college, and the overarching effects that had on early designs for his computers.

The NeXT Computer wasn’t quite the success story that Apple is, but it holds a very important place in the history of computing, as it was the workstation that computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee used to develop the first web browser and web server in 1990.

Eventually, Apple bought NeXT, and incorporated many aspects of the software developed for the NeXT computer in MacOS. This move also allowed Steve Jobs to return to Apple, and began the next phase of his visionary career there.” Starting Bid $1,000

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.

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. 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 $1,000

Steve Jobs signs a guide for the 1990 Seybold Seminars on “The Evolving Process of Communication”

8034. Steve Jobs Signed Seybold Seminar Guide Book. Spiral-bound guidebook for the Seybold Computer Pub-

lishing Conference, hosted from October 2-5, 1990, at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, 187 pages, 8.75 x 11, beautifully signed inside in black ballpoint by Jobs as founder of NeXT, “steve jobs.”

The guide offers full-page biographies of the many guest speakers, plus abstracts for the various sessions, which included presentations, discussion groups, and tutorials broadly focused on the conference’s theme: “The Evolving Process of Communication.”The conference’s opening session, “Publishing & Computing in the ‘90s,” featured Steve Jobs and Bill Gates as speakers. The recipient of the autograph, Michael Astrachan, spoke at the conference as part of a panel on “Building Systems: Marketing and Advertising.” In fine condition, with subtle foxing to the top edge. Accompanied by two magazines featuring Jobs on the cover—Wired from February 1996 and Fast Company from July/August 2010—the latter addressed to Astrachan.

Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance from Michael Astrachan, in part: “I obtained Steve Jobs’ autograph, who at the time was CEO of NeXT, after the opening session…I recall that Mr. Jobs was more formally dressed in a suit and tie, as opposed to the casual black turtleneck and jeans of which he is often associated. At the conclusion of the session, I approached the lectern where Mr. Jobs was packing up his presentation materials. With my conference

guide turned to his bio page, and pen in hand, I introduced myself, telling him how much I enjoyed his talk and asked if he would be willing to sign my guide. While I think he might have been a little surprised that I was asking for his autograph, he politely obliged and I thanked him before moving onto the next session. To many of us, Steve Jobs was viewed as a rock star of the computing world.

He revolutionized the design and publishing world with the invention of the Macintosh computer and, in turn, created a whole new industry and class of careers.”

These Seybold Seminars came at a transitional point in the evolution of modern communication, as many traditional printing processes could now be accomplished in the digital realm. Discussions ranged from color calibration and font formats to building efficient publishing workgroup environments. A seminar on color compression excitedly anticipated the introduction of the JPEG standard, which promised to “make desktop color systems a widespread phenomenon.” The primary focus was still on print media, though the sessions included two panels on “publishing without paper”—one year before the introduction of the World Wide Web. This book is valuable not just for its rare Steve Jobs autograph, but as a time capsule from a moment of tech-driven upheaval in a centuries-old industry. Starting Bid $1,000

I thanked him for being so understanding and he hopped back in his car and sped away…In September of 2021 a buddy of mine who worked with Steve came by my house, I showed him the writing on the back of the card, and he immediately recognized the telephone number—he said that was the number to his office at NeXT where they worked together.”Personal business cards belonging to Steve Jobs are already a hot commodity, with this lesser-seen Pixar example all the more desirable given Jobs’s handwriting and its amusing ‘accidental’ back story.

Steve Jobs-signed award recognizing a QuickTime manager who helped to build “Apple’s phenomenal success” 8036. Steve Jobs Signed Apple 5-Year Service Award. Rare Apple Computer five-year award plaque presented

to a senior product marketing manager for QuickTime technology in 1997, 6.75 x 13, signed at the bottom in black felt tip, “steve jobs.”

The text reads: “This certificate of recognition is given to those who have played a major role in the building of Apple’s phenomenal success. During the past five years you have given to Apple your talents, enthusiasm, and energy. We hope you share our feeling that the journey is the reward.” The display’s plastic glaze is elegantly etched with the numeral “5.” Framed and in very fine condition.

This rare, signed example originates from the collection of a senior product marketing manager for QuickTime technology at Apple’s corporate office in Cupertino, CA, from 1992-2000. He writes: “Working as a product marketing manager at Apple was a highprofile job that I had never experienced professionally. I traveled all over the world and gave talks and presentations to large and small audiences as well as met with many software and hardware developers, musicians, celebrities, and Apple fans. Needless to say I met quite a few very interesting people.

In 1997, Steve Job’s assistant called me and told me Steve wanted to

learn the QuickTime VR technology. (QuickTime VR was a part of QuickTime that was a photographic-based 360 image technology that paved the way for today’s 360 imagery used all over the Web.) I was to go to his office and meet with him one-on-one to demonstrate that technology.

That meeting went as well as it could (I’ll spare you the details!) and at the end of the meeting Steve said, ‘This is really cool!’ From that day on he invited me to many meetings (many of which I really didn’t need to be in) and he also used QuickTime VR in many of Apple’s product announcement events. It was somewhat of a relief that he liked the technology that I was marketing.

A few months later in 1997 Steve was autographing employees’ ‘5 Year Awards.’ These are plaques given out for 5 years of working at Apple. Jobs had just become the official CEO of Apple and was signing these awards. Not only did he sign my 5-year award but also my premier issue of Macworld.”

Signed examples of Apple service awards are scarce, as the company soon transitioned to facsimile signatures on the anniversary awards.

Huge original Giovanni DeCunto canvas inspired by Steve Jobs outside IBM, with unique 3-layer NFT 8037. Steve Jobs Painting and NFT by Giovanni DeCunto. Acrylic on canvas, 52” x 58”..

Painted by Giovanni DeCunto in 2022, “Bite Me” was inspired by the famous image of Steve Jobs giving the finger to an IBM sign in New York City. A few weeks before Mac launched in December 1983, Steve Jobs and a few others took a trip to New York City to meet with Newsweek Magazine because they were thinking about doing a cover story on the Mac. Andy Hertzfeld, who was on that trip, said: ‘The photo was taken spontaneously as we walked around Manhattan.’

Hearing this story sparked inspiration in Giovanni DeCunto. In his work, Giovanni enjoys creating abundant classical allusions, but a wild American vulgarity seems to run up to the foreground.

Steve Jobs was the legendary pioneer and visionary who brought society into the digital age through art and technology. He set the groundwork and created the template for what much of technology is today. With his painting, Giovanni DeCunto draws inspiration from Jobs who rose like the mythical Phoenix. Giovanni invents over and over, layering his paintings like chapters in Jobs’ life.

Giovanni DeCunto accomplished the painting using his novel threestage approach, each of which was scanned using ARTMYN 5D technology. Included with the physical painting is a minted NFT on the Ethereum blockchain, which will be transferred to the winning bidder.The NFT assets are: static image as thumbnail, high-resolution jpeg of all three layers, MP4 video of Giovanni discussing his vision of the painting, and GIF of all three layers.

DeCunto’s artist statement: “My paintings are my palette for chaos and order to collide. I take the high art and the low art, which is commonplace, and let them battle it out on the canvas. The contemporary issues confronted in the work provoke a response, both emotional and intellectual, and symbolize the struggle towards birth that our society now faces. We are at the beginning. Painting, to me, is the great equalizer. I paint for humanity. I call to arms; the eternal spirit of man, the builder, the organizer and the evolutionary spirit that creates civilizations. I am speaking of that common, human thread that the great thinkers of the past continue to teach to us; the common link which triumphs over adversity, poverty and injustice.”

Accompanied by a document discussing Giovanni’s three stage technique: a layer-by-layer process of creation and destruction that culminates in the final piece. Starting Bid $2,500

Original Apple-produced Star Wars/Star Trek cassette tape game released in 1978 for the Apple II, featuring 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!

8050. ITT 2020 Computer (Apple II Clone). ITT 2020 personal computer, manufactured by ITT for the European market under license from Apple Computer as the first licensed Apple II clone. The top of the case features an “ITT 2020” plate, with a smaller “Apple System” emblem below the keyboard. On the bottom is an ITT Consumer Products (UK) Ltd. label, hand-labeled with serial no. “10307.”

Inside are an Apple Disk II Interface Card and a generic clone of the Microsoft Z80 SoftCard.

The principal difference between the ITT 2020 and the Apple II was that its color video signal output conformed to the European PAL standard, rather than the American NTSC standard, meaning that it could be viewed on a standard European monitor or TV set; a European user of the Apple II would have needed to import an NTSC monitor. The ITT 2020 also increased the horizontal resolution of the output, a necessary consequence of the higher frequency of the PAL color subcarrier. Starting Bid $300

8051. Apple Color Plotter 410. Scarce, fully functional Apple Color Plotter 410, Model No. A9M0302P, Serial No. E01155, including extra ink cartridge pens, two pads of paper, and an “Apple Color Plotter Test” page. Sold by Apple Computer from 1983 to 1988, this plotter could be connected to an Apple II (with an installed Super Serial Card) or Apple III computer. A desirable example of a rather obscure piece of Apple hardware. Starting Bid $200 www.RRAuction.com | March 17, 2022 51

8052. Apple Macintosh 128K Computer. Original Apple Macintosh 128K

computer from 1984, Model No. M0001, Serial No. F4473G3M0001, with the FCC ID plate on the back, and the serial number label affixed underneath the front bezel. The serial number indicates that this Macintosh was the 4015th manufactured during the 47th week of 1984 in Fremont, California. Includes its partial original box and styrofoam packing material, along with its power cable, Macintosh Mouse (M0100), Macintosh Keyboard (M0110), floppy disks, manuals, invoice, and unused decals. The computer and accessories are in very good to fine cosmetic condition, with some adhesive remnants to cables and expected age toning; the original box is scuffed and missing portions of the top.

The Macintosh 128K was the first in the line of Apple’s Macintosh computers. It offered a radically new approach which featured a graphical user interface (GUI), built-in screen, and mouse—all of which revolutionized the user’s experience, marking the transition from command-line computing to a point-and-click model.The Macintosh was famously announced in one of the most-viewed Super Bowl advertisements of all time, ‘1984.’

This would likely have been one of the last Macintosh 128K computers to feature the “Macintosh” badge on the back, as the majority made after November 1984 have the “Macintosh 128K” label on the back of the case. A desirable example that represents a landmark in Apple and personal computing history. Starting Bid $500

8054. Apple M0120P Numeric Keypad with Box. Uncommon original Apple M0120P Numeric Keypad in its original box and packaging, circa 1984, serial no. 13294. This external numeric keypad was designed as a companion to the original Macintosh keyboard (M0110), which only had numbers across the top. The M0110’s successor, the Apple M0110A, integrated the numeric keypad, making the M0120 redundant. The M0120P is distinguished from the M0120 by its use of symbols, rather than text, for the “Enter” and “Clear” keys.

8055. Apple Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM). 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.

This Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh set includes the computer with built-in 12.1˝ LCD screen, Bose speakers, and vertically-mounted CD-ROM drive; keyboard with built-in trackpad; base unit power supply/subwoofer; remote control; and user’s manual. In spite of its feature-rich technology, the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh was met with slow sales—probably due to its price tag and limited means for expansion. However, its design proved influential in future product lines—until recently, modern iMacs featured vertically-oriented optical drives behind their LCD screens (similar to the floppy drive on the TAM), and the Magic Trackpad is offered as a popular peripheral (like the trackpad on the TAM keyboard). Starting Bid $200

iPod Classic (5GB), Bob Marley special edition. The top of the box features the iconic Apple logo in white, with the four sides showing front and side views of the iPod, as well as a wonderful two-panel image of the aforementioned reggae legend with closed eyes and floating dreadlocks as he sings into a microphone.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original owner: “I received the Bob Marley-themed iPod as a gift from my parents upon my graduation from college in the spring of 2002. At the time, it was a brand-new technology. I knew nothing about iPods, so I didn’t open the box—although I intended to, eventually. Years passed and life got busy. I never got around to opening the gift. After I bought my first iPhone, I realized I likely wouldn’t use the iPod. I considered giving it away but couldn’t bring myself to part with the present from my parents. Twenty years—and five kids of my own—later, the box has sat untouched on a shelf.” Starting Bid $1,000

8067. Apple Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM) (Sealed).

Very rare new-in-box 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 remains sealed in its original box, with original specification and shipping labels affixed outside.

The consignor notes: “I was an Apple employee and picked this up directly from Apple in 1997 when they were selling direct to employees. This sealed TAM has been in my possession since purchasing it and has never been opened.”

This Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh set includes the computer with built-in 12.1˝ LCD screen, Bose speakers, and vertically-mounted CD-ROM drive; keyboard with built-in trackpad; base unit power supply/subwoofer; remote control; and user’s manual. In spite of its feature-rich technology, the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh was met with slow sales—probably due to its price tag and limited means for expansion. However, its design proved influential in future product lines—until recently, modern iMacs featured vertically-oriented optical drives behind their LCD screens (similar to the floppy drive on the TAM), and the Magic Trackpad is offered as a popular peripheral (like the trackpad on the TAM keyboard).

Pastoriza Personal Analog Computer made in 1963 by Pastoriza Electronics, Inc., of Boston, Massachusetts. Housed in its original leather carrying case, 13˝ x 5.25˝ x 11.5˝, which is marked in gilt on the front, “Personal Analog Computer” and “Pastoriza Electronics, Inc., Boston 16 Mass.,” the battery-powered computer consists of a Control Unit, nine configurable modular units, and eight connecting wires; the Control Unit, 5.25˝ x 2.5˝ x 7˝, features a meter and on/off, set, and hold switches; and the nine modular units, each measuring 4˝ x 1.75˝ x 2.75˝, consist of three “Add,” three “Multiply (by C),” and three “Integrate” components with red, yellow, or green dials, the underside of each bearing labels numbered either “231,” 238,” “240,” or “241.” The underside of the Control Unit is numbered “241.” The eight black connecting wires range in size from 5.5˝ to 25˝ in length.

In fine, untested condition, with scattered wear and marks; the case interior and exterior show varying degrees of toning and soiling.

56 Steve Jobs and Apple | (603) 732-4280

The Pastoriza Personal Analog computer was designed to be used by students at the Case Institute of Technology; the school later merged with Western Reserve University in 1967 to form Case Western Reserve University, which offered the first ABET-accredited program in computer engineering. It’s believed that the computers were issued to 200 students in either late 1962 or early 1963 by the school for use in their linear systems course. The students were part of a study to compare students who used slide rules with those who had their own analog computer. The Pastoriza was designed by Dr. James Reswick, who was then Head of the Case Engineering Design Center, James Pastoriza (who manufactured them and for whom they were named), and George Philbrick, who was already well known as one of the founders of the analog computer systems.

8060. ANITA Mark VIII / MK 8 Calculator. An ANITA

Mark VIII or Mk 8 electronic desk calculator designed and built by the Bell Punch Co. of Uxbridge, England, and marketed through its Sumlock Comptometer division in 1961. Measuring 15˝ x 9.25˝ x 18˝ and weighing approximately 30 pounds, the Mark VIII is a full-keyboard, non-printing calculator with 10 columns of plastic keys, a separate multiplication column, and result display of 12-digit numerical indicator tubes (similar to ‘Nixie’tubes). Base of the calculator features a patent plate with model number, “C/VIII/010293/A,” input rating “88 VA, 60 Cycles,” and voltage “110.” Electronics used in the Mk 8 include one Dekatron decade counter tube of type Hivac GS10D; about 180 cold-cathode tubes of types Mullard Z700U and Hivac XC31; selenium rectifiers; 10 vacuum tubes (thermionic valves) of type ECC81; and 1 transistor of type Ferranti ZT42. In fine, untested condition, with overall light scuffs and marks. This model and the concurrently introduced Mk VII were the only electronic desktop calculators in the world for over two years, and many thousands were sold, with the cost in 1964 being £355 Sterling, or about $1000. Development of the ANITA calculators was started in 1956 under Norbert Kitz (a.k.a. Norman Kitz), who had worked on the pilot version of the ACE (Automatic Computing Engine) computer project in the mid 1940s. The name ANITA, stands variously for ‘A New Inspiration to Arithmetic’ and ‘A New Inspiration to Accounting.’ This became the family name for all the Bell Punch electronic models. Starting Bid $200

8061. Early Commodore PET 2001 Series Personal Computer, No. 77 of Initial 100 Unit Run. Scarce early Commodore Pet 2001 Series personal com-

puter produced by Commodore International in 1977, Model No. PET 2001-4, with the manufacturer’s plate listing the serial number as “0010077,” which identifies this console as No. 77 of the computer’s initial run of 100 units. The PET measures 17.5˝ x 16˝ x 19˝, weighs approximately 25 pounds, and features a MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor (which also powered the Apple II), Commodore BASIC in read-only memory, a 53-button keyboard, a 20-button numeric keypad, a 9-inch monochrome CRT monitor (manufactured

by Sony), default RAM of 4 KB, and a cassette deck recorder as a mass memory device. A hallmark of the computer is its single all-in-one housing and peculiar trapezoid-shaped monitor designed by Chuck Peddle with industrial designer Larry Hittle. The case is composed of two parts: a sturdy black base and upper white metal housing hinged to one another and designed so that it could be quickly and intuitively opened and propped like a car hood. The internal motherboard bears a 1977 Commodore International copyright and is marked “PET Main Logic, ASSY320081,” with an inspection label dated to November 8, 1977. Casing features affixed code and direction labels above keyboard. In fine, untested condition, with some light scuffs and marks.

Accompaniments include: the original cardboard PET 2001-4 shipping box with “0010077” serial number; a green vinyl computer cover; a rare Skyles Electric Works KB-74 BIG KeyBoard with original design layout sheet; an Axiom EX-801 Microprinter from circa 1977-78; the original PET User manual for “Model 2001-8”; a Commodore PET Users Club newsletter from 1979, Vol. 1, Issue 3; and a small Commodore PET promotional toy with the original owner’s name.

Partly inspired by the sentient supercomputer HAL in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 sci-fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey—a three-letter name with Microgramma typeface logo (the same used by Kubrick for HAL’s graphic interface), and even the inexplicable presence of “2001”—the PET 2001 can be considered the first all-in-one home computer and, in many aspects, the first commercially successful personal computer ever. Thanks to its competitive price of less than $600, the Commodore PET (Personal Electronic Transactor) was a huge success that, in 1980, made Commodore the third-largest personal computer manufacturer in the world. Unfortunately, both for the PET and Commodore, the golden age didn’t last long; within a few years, two of the industry’s giants were waiting around the corner—the IBM PC and the Apple Macintosh.

for the Microsoft Corporation, one page, 12 x 8, circa 1990, featuring the pre-printed facsimile signature of company president Jon Shirley. Bill Gates recruited Shirley to join Microsoft as president, chief operating officer, and director in 1983, and his tenure lasted until 1990. In that time he guided Microsoft through its 1986 initial public offering, and engineered the financial and managerial infrastructure that drove the company’s massive success. Although Microsoft was the clear winner of the 1990s ‘personal computer wars,’ Apple has pulled ahead in recent years—with a $2.95T market cap compared to Microsoft’s $2.46T. In fine condition.

Section 2 Bidding Privileges

2.1 In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established an account with RR Auction must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply additional information if requested, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders who are not members of RRAuction.com should pre-register before the close of the Auction to allow adequate time to contact references. Privileges will be granted at the sole discretion of RR Auction.

Additionally, Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide a cash deposit prior to RR Auction’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: RRAuction.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the Auction venue.

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

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

Section 3 Buyer’s Premium 3.1 The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed and live Auctions.

Buyer’s premium for our Sports Auctions is 20%. For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received

by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is earlier. Bidder’s failure to pay any payment in full when due required shall constitute a material breach, and in addition to other damages available under contract or law, at RR Auction’s election, RR Auction may cancel the sale and require full premium still be due along with interest at 1.5% per month from the date of breach, or at the maximum legally allowable rate.

Section 4 Bidding 4.1 Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s) and independent investigation, rather than the any reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. Bidder affirms that it regards any statements made by RR Auction concerning the item as solely opinion and that Bidder is making its own inspection and independent evaluation of the goods, and is not relying upon any description or statements by RR Auction (including as to quality, authenticity, provenance, ownership, liens existing, on goods legality, or value) in making its determination to bid on or purchase an item. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price.

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

4.3 All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing.

RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder.

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

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

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

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

by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued fees and expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

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

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

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

5.2 When identical bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 7 Sales Tax RR Auction is a remote seller and we are now required to collect Sales/Use Tax from our bidders. The states that we have nexus in we will be required to collect and remit sales tax on your behalf. Each state has different requirements to meet nexus. When RR Auction has achieved a certain monetary and/or invoice threshold in each state we will apply sales tax to your total invoice. The states that are affected are: ARIZONA, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, KANSAS, KENTUCKY, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEBRASKA, NEVADA, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, NORTH CAROLINA, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, PENNSYLVANIA,RHODE ISLAND, TENNESSEE, TEXAS, UTAH, VIRGINIA, WASHINGTON, WISCONSIN If we have not achieved nexus in a particular state it is still your responsibility to pay sales tax on your purchases.

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

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

Section 8 Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges Bidder is liable for shipping and handling and providing accurate information as to shipping or delivery locations and arranging for such. RR Auction is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that

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

Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified Customs declarations, to RR Auction for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price and RR Auction shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot.

Domestic Bidders on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs.

Section 9 Title Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices of Bidder (including those pertaining to the item(s) at issue) and amounts owed to RR Auction are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.

Section 10 Rights Reserved RR Auction reserves the right, at any time before, during or after an auction has ended to: withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction, cancel any bid, and/or to postpone the Auction of all or any lots or parts thereof, for any reason.

RR Auction shall not be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal, cancellation, or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone at any time.

Section 11 Conducting the Auction 11.1 RR Auction reserves the right to postpone the Auction or any session thereof for a reasonable period of time for any reason whatsoever, and no Bidder or prospective Bidder shall have any claim as a result thereof, including consequential damages.

11.2 RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments. RR Auction has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auction has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful Bidder in the event of a dispute between Bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auctions record of final sale shall be conclusive.

RR Auction also may reject any bid if RR Auction decides either that any bid is below the reserve of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced by RR Auction at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale.

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

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

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

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

11.7 Before the Auction:

Bidder may attend pre-sale viewing for all of RR Auction’s auctions at no charge.

All property to be auctioned is usually on view for several days prior to the sale.

Bidder is encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. Bidder may also request condition reports (see below). RR Auction’s staff are available at viewings and by appointment.

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

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

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

11.11 Bidding in Timed Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.

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

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

Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm EST/ EDT, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm EST/ EDT, that lot is awarded to Bidder. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm EST/EDT will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm EST/EDT or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm EST/EDT, whichever comes first.

For all lots that are active after 7 pm EST/EDT, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot (the “30 Minute Rule”).

The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the Auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm EST/EDT. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the high Bidder, raising Bidder’s maximum bid will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the Auction at any time at its sole discretion.

11.12 Bidding - Internet Live Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.

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

During live internet or live auction, property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone,

internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute a bid or bids (successively or otherwise) on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. All auctions for lots are with reserve unless specifically stated otherwise.

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

All RR Auction lots purchased through the third-party sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium.

11.13 Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a non-sale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited.

If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement.

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

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

Section 12 RR Auction’s Remedies Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of material breach or default. In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under subpart (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any Bidder’s property in RR Auction’s possession or to which title has not yet passed to Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Section 13 Warranties

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

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

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

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

Section 14 Firearms RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any.

Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm.

Section 15 Unauthorized Statements Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR Auction authorized by RR Auction to modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on a registration form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed Bidder and by an authorized officer of RR Auction by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied upon by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction.

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

16.2 This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder as against

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

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

by Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances.

16.4 Authenticity Challenge Process (1) If Bidder wishes to dispute or challenge the Authenticity of the lot or item (including asserting that it is incorrect), Bidder must adhere to the following procedure: Within 30 days of the Auction Date, Bidder must present written evidence to RR Auction, that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field (and one recognized by RR Auction within its discretion) and send the physical item or lot at issue to RR Auction along with all evidence relied upon

by Bidder for contesting the Authenticity. (“Authenticity Challenge Process”) “Authenticity” shall mean a gross discrepancy in the between the description, genuiness, or attribution of the item as represented by RR Auction in the Catalog or at the auction, and the item. If RR Auction concurs that the lot is not Authentic as was represented (it is sole discretion), Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, agents, employees, and contractors) shall be a refund of the purchase price of the subject item paid by Bidder, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable by Bidder. If RR Auction does not agree with the assertion by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale. Strict adherence to the Authenticity Challenge Process is a condition of standing for Bidder to initiate suit or claim.

(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.

Section 18 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 Massachusetts, 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 damages 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: SALE OF AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLES: AS REQUIRED BY LAW, A DEALER WHO SELLS TO A CONSUMER ANY COLLECTIBLE DESCRIBED AS BEING AUTOGRAPHED MUST PROVIDE A WRITTEN EXPRESS WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF SALE. THIS DEALER MAY BE SURETY BONDED OR OTHERWISE INSURED TO ENSURE THE AUTHENTICITY OF ANY AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLE SOLD BY THIS DEALER. A written express warranty is provided with each autographed collectible, as required by law. This dealer may be surety bonded or otherwise insured to ensure the authenticity of any autographed collectible sold by this dealer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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