Auction Venues:
3. The following Auctions are conducted solely on the Internet: Heritage Weekly Internet Auctions
(Coin, Currency, Comics, Rare Books, Jewelry & Watches, Guitars & Musical Instruments,
and Vintage Movie Posters); Heritage Monthly Internet Auctions (Sports, World Coins and
Rare Wine). Signature® Auctions and Grand Format Auctions accept bids from the Internet,
telephone, fax, or mail first, followed by a floor bidding session; HeritageLive! and real- time
telephone bidding are available to registered clients during these auctions.
Bidders:
4. Any person participating or registering for the Auction agrees to be bound by and accepts these
Terms and Conditions of Auction ("Bidder(s)").
5. All Bidders must meet Auctioneer's qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in
good standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at Auctioneer's sole option and will not
be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited
discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. Auctioneer reserves
the right to exclude any person from the auction.
6. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to
personally guarantee payment for any successful bid.
Credit:
7. In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with the Auctioneer must either
furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references)
or supply valid credit card information along with a social security number, well in advance of
the Auction. Bids placed through our Interactive Internet program will only be accepted from
pre-registered Bidders. Bidders who are not members of HA.com or affiliates should preregister
at least 48 hours before the start of the first session (exclusive of holidays or weekends) to allow
adequate time to contact references. Credit will be granted at the discretion of Auctioneer.
Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of
their established credit history may be required to provide their social security number or the
last four digits thereof so a credit check may be performed prior to Auctioneer'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: HA.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.
Bidding Options:
8. Bids in Signature® Auctions or Grand Format Auctions may be placed as set forth in the
printed catalog section entitled "Choose your bidding method." For auctions held solely on
the Internet, see the alternatives on HA.com. Review at http://www.ha.com/c/ref/web-tips.
zx#biddingTutorial.
9. Presentment of Bids: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to podium, fax, phone and mail
bids) are treated similar to floor bids in that they must be on-increment or at a half increment
(called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half
increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment and this revised
amount will be considered your high bid.
10. Auctioneer's Execution of Certain Bids. Auctioneer cannot be responsible for your errors in
bidding, so carefully check that every bid is entered correctly. When identical mail or FAX bids
are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, your
written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at Auctioneer's
place of business at least two business days before the Auction start. Auctioneer is not
responsible for executing mail bids or FAX bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold,
nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is Auctioneer responsible for
proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX, e-mail, Internet, or in person once
the Auction begins. Bids placed electronically via the internet may not be withdrawn until your
written request is received and acknowledged by Auctioneer (FAX: 214-409-1425); such requests
must state the reason, and may constitute grounds for withdrawal of bidding privileges. Lots
won by mail Bidders will not be delivered at the Auction unless prearranged.
11. Caveat as to Bid Increments. Bid increments (over the current bid level) determine the lowest
amount you may bid on a particular lot. Bids greater than one increment over the current bid
can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to
be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment. Please see: "How can
I lose by less than an increment?" on our website. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts
only. No "buy" or "unlimited" bids will be accepted.
The following chart governs current bidding increments
(see HA.com/c/ref/web-tips.zx#guidelines-increments).

$5,000,000 - $9,999,999..... $250,000
>= $10,000,000................... $500,000
12. If Auctioneer calls for a full increment, a bidder may request Auctioneer to accept a bid at half
of the increment ("Cut Bid") only once per lot. After offering a Cut Bid, bidders may continue
to participate only at full increments. Off-increment bids may be accepted by the Auctioneer at
Signature® Auctions and Grand Format Auctions. If the Auctioneer solicits bids other than the
expected increment, these bids will not be considered Cut Bids.
Conducting the Auction:
13. Notice of the consignor's liberty to place bids on his lots in the Auction is hereby made in
accordance with Article 2 of the Texas Business and Commercial Code. A "Minimum Bid" is
an amount below which the lot will not sell. THE CONSIGNOR OF PROPERTY MAY PLACE
WRITTEN "Minimum Bids" ON HIS LOTS IN ADVANCE OF THE AUCTION; ON SUCH LOTS,
IF THE HAMMER PRICE DOES NOT MEET THE "Minimum Bid", THE CONSIGNOR MAY PAY
A REDUCED COMMISSION ON THOSE LOTS. "Minimum Bids" are generally posted online
several days prior to the Auction closing. For any successful bid placed by a consignor on his
Property on the Auction floor, or by any means during the live session, or after the "Minimum
Bid" for an Auction have been posted, we will require the consignor to pay full Buyer's Premium
and Seller's Commissions on such lot.
14. The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of
a tie bid, the earliest bid received or recognized wins. In the event of any dispute between any
Bidders at an Auction, Auctioneer may at his sole discretion reoffer the lot. Auctioneer's decision
and declaration of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon all Bidders. Bids properly
offered, whether by floor Bidder or other means of bidding, may on occasion be missed or go
unrecognized; in such cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized bid accepted as the
winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may have been higher. Auctioneer reserves
the right after the hammer fall to accept bids and reopen bidding for bids placed through the
Internet or otherwise.
15. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid, in
its sole discretion. A bid is considered not made in "Good Faith" when made by an insolvent
or irresponsible person, a person under the age of eighteen, or is not supported by satisfactory
credit, collectibles references, or otherwise. Regardless of the disclosure of his identity, any bid
by a consignor or his agent on a lot consigned by him is deemed to be made in "Good Faith." Any
person apparently appearing on the OFAC list is not eligible to bid.
16. Nominal Bids. The Auctioneer in its sole discretion may reject nominal bids, small opening bids,
or very nominal advances. If a lot bearing estimates fails to open for 40-60% of the low estimate,
the Auctioneer may pass the item or may place a protective bid on behalf of the consignor.
17. Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer's discretion (generally 40%-60% of the
low estimate). In the event that no bid meets or exceeds that opening amount, the lot shall pass
as unsold.
18. All items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be broken.
Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any lots from the Auction.
19. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach of a warranty,
disputed ownership, auctioneer's clerical error or omission in exercising bids and reserves, or
for any other reason and in Auctioneer's sole discretion. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer's
election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees
(seller's and buyer's premium) and any other damages or expenses pertaining to the lot.
20. Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or Server service outages, and Auctioneer
periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes, during which
Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outages occur, we may at our discretion extend
bidding for the Auction. Bidders unable to place their Bids through the Internet are directed to
contact Client Services at 877-HERITAGE (437-4824).
21. The Auctioneer, its affiliates, or their employees consign items to be sold in the Auction, and may
bid on those lots or any other lots. Auctioneer or affiliates expressly reserve the right to modify
any such bids at any time prior to the hammer based upon data made known to the Auctioneer
or its affiliates. The Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans to certain consignors.
22. The Auctioneer 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.
Payment:
23. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire,
cashier checks, travelers checks, eChecks, and bank money orders, and are subject to all
reporting requirements). All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in
Auctioneer's account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing
period. Auctioneer reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes "good funds": checks
drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten business day hold, and thirty days when drawn on an
international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for
payments via eCheck, personal, or corporate checks. All others will be subject to a hold of 5
days, or more, for the funds to clear prior to releasing merchandise. (Ref. T&C item 7 Credit for
additional information.) Payments can be made 24-48 hours post auction from the My Orders
page of the HA.com website.
24. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice.
Auctioneer reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within 7
days after the close of the Auction. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer's election to void a sale
does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (seller's and buyer's
premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot or Auctioneer. Alternatively,
Auctioneer at its sole option, may charge a twenty (20%) fee based on the amount of the
purchase. In either case the Auctioneer may offset amount of its claim against any monies owing
to the Bidder or secure its claim against any of the Bidder's properties held by the Auctioneer.
25. Lots delivered to you, or your representative are subject to all applicable state and local taxes,
unless appropriate permits are on file with Auctioneer. Bidder agrees to pay Auctioneer the
actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an expired,
inaccurate, or inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the
applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate must be on file at
and verified by Auctioneer five days prior to Auction, or tax must be paid; only if such form or
certificate is received by Auctioneer within 4 days after the Auction can a refund of tax paid be
made. Lots from different Auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes.
26. 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 you attempt to pay via eCheck
and your financial institution denies this transfer from your bank account, or the payment
cannot be completed using the selected funding source, you agree to complete payment using
your credit card on file.
27. If any Auction invoice submitted by Auctioneer is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance
will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any
invoice not paid when due will bear a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice amount. If the
Auctioneer refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the buyer agrees to pay attorney's fees,
court costs, and other collection costs incurred by Auctioneer. If Auctioneer assigns collection
to its in-house legal staff, such attorney's time expended on the matter shall be compensated at
a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys.
28. In the event a successful Bidder fails to pay any amounts due, Auctioneer reserves the right to sell
the lot(s) securing the invoice to any underbidders in the Auction that the lot(s) appeared, or at
subsequent private or public sale, or relist the lot(s) in a future auction conducted by Auctioneer.
A defaulting Bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of resale (including a 15% seller's
commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). The defaulting Bidder is liable
to pay any difference between his total original invoice for the lot(s), plus any applicable interest,
and the net proceeds for the lot(s) if sold at private sale or the subsequent hammer price of the lot(s)
less the 15% seller's commissions, if sold at an Auctioneer's auction.
29.Auctioneer reserves the right to require payment in full in good funds before delivery of the merchandise.
30. Auctioneer shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the buyer to secure payment
of the Auction invoice. Auctioneer is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of
any other property of the buyer then held by the Auctioneer or its affiliates to secure payment
of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due the Auctioneer or affiliates from the buyer.
With respect to these lien rights, Auctioneer shall have all the rights of a secured creditor under
Article 9 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, including but not limited to the right of sale
(including a 15% seller's commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). In
addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the buyer waives any and all rights
of offset he might otherwise have against the Auctioneer and the consignor of the merchandise
included on the invoice. If a Bidder owes Auctioneer or its affiliates on any account, Auctioneer
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..
31. Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility
of the buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered
to a common carrier or third-party shipper.
Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges:
32. Buyer is liable for shipping, handling, registration, and renewal fees, if any. Please refer to
Auctioneer's website HA.com/c/shipping.zx for the latest charges or call Auctioneer. Auctioneer
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. Buyer agrees that Service and Handling charges related to shipping items which
are not pre-paid may be charged to the credit card on file with Auctioneer.
33. Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified
customs declarations, to the Auctioneer for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States.
NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item'(s) hammer price together with its buyer's premium
and Auctioneer shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Buyers on lots
designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and
prepay shipping costs.
34. All shipping charges will be borne by the successful Bidder. On all domestic shipments, any risk of
loss during shipment will be borne by Heritage until the shipping carrier's confirmation of delivery
to the address of record in Auctioneer's file (carrier's confirmation is conclusive to prove delivery
to Bidder; if the client has a Signature release on file with the carrier, the package is considered
delivered without Signature) or delivery by Heritage to Bidder's selected third-party shipper.
On all foreign shipments, any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by the Bidder following
Auctioneer's delivery to the Bidder's designated common carrier or third-party shipper.
35. Due to the nature of some items sold, it shall be the responsibility for the successful Bidder to
arrange pick-up and shipping through third-parties; as to such items Auctioneer shall have no
liability. Failure to pick-up or arrange shipping in a timely fashion (within ten days) shall subject
Lots to storage and moving charges, including a $100 administration fee plus $10 daily storage
for larger items and $5.00 daily for smaller items (storage fee per item) after 35 days. In the event
the Lot is not removed within ninety days, the Lot may be offered for sale to recover any past due
storage or moving fees, including a 10% Seller's Commission.
36A. The laws of various countries regulate the import or export of certain plant and animal
properties, including (but not limited to) items made of (or including) Brazilian rosewood,
ivory, whalebone, turtle shell, coral, crocodile, or other wildlife. Transport of such lots may
require special licenses for export, import, or both. Bidder is responsible for: 1) obtaining all
information on such restricted items for both export and import; 2) obtaining all such licenses
and/or permits. Delay, failure, or incapacity to obtain any such license or permit does not relieve
the buyer of timely payment, or afford them the capacity to void their purchase or payment. For
further information, please contact Ron Brackemyre at 800-872-6467 ext. 1312.
36B. California State law prohibits the importation of any product containing Python skin into the
State of California, thus no lot containing Python skin will be shipped to or invoiced to a person
or company in California.
36C. Auctioneer shall not be liable for any loss caused by or resulting from:
a. Seizure or destruction under quarantine or Customs regulation, or confiscation by order of any
Government or public authority, or risks of contraband or illegal transportation of trade, or
b. Breakage of statuary, marble, glassware, bric-a-brac, porcelains, jewelry, and similar fragile
articles
37. Any request for shipping verification for undelivered packages must be made within 30 days of
shipment by Auctioneer.

connection with the sale of any Property by Auctioneer to Bidder. No third party may rely on any

Terms and Conditions, and, unless signed by a principal of Auctioneer, any such alteration is
null and void.

compensatory damages, or any other damages arising or claimed to be arising from the auction of
any lot. In the event that Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or subsequently it is established that the
lot lacks title, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, in such cases the sole remedy shall be
limited to rescission of sale and refund of the amount paid by Bidder; in no case shall Auctioneer's

violation of this provision, Auctioneer 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.
53. Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be
contacted by Heritage in the future. In conformity with "do-not-call" regulations promulgated
by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to
being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in
effect until it is revoked in writing. Heritage may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale,
purchase, and auction opportunities available through Heritage and its affiliates and subsidiaries.
54. Rules of Construction: Auctioneer presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as
such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions. Nothing herein

State Notices:
Notice as to an Auction in California. Auctioneer has in compliance with Title 2.95 of the California

Additional Terms & Conditions:
COINS & CURRENCY
COINS and CURRENCY TERM A: Signature® Auctions are not on approval. No certified material
may be returned because of possible differences of opinion with respect to the grade offered by
any third-party organization, dealer, or service. No guarantee of grade is offered for uncertified
Property sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. There are absolutely
no exceptions to this policy. Under extremely limited circumstances, (e.g. gross cataloging
error) a purchaser, who did not bid from the floor, may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding
a sale: such request must be made in writing detailing the alleged gross error; submission of
the lot to the Auctioneer must be pre-approved by the Auctioneer; and bidder must notify Ron
Brackemyre (1-800-872-6467 Ext. 1312) in writing of such request within three (3) days of
the non-floor bidder's receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated must be in our offices
within 30 days after Auction. Grading or method of manufacture do not qualify for this
evaluation process nor do such complaints constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of a
lot. AFTER THAT 30-DAY PERIOD, NO LOTS MAY BE RETURNED FOR REASONS OTHER
THAN AUTHENTICITY. Lots returned must be housed intact in their original holder. No lots
purchased by floor Bidders may be returned (including those Bidders acting as agents for others)
except for authenticity. Late remittance for purchases may be considered just cause to revoke
all return privileges.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM B: Auctions conducted solely on the Internet THREE (3) DAY
RETURN POLICY: Certified Coin and Uncertified and Certified Currency lots paid for within
seven days of the Auction closing are sold with a three (3) day return privilege unless otherwise
noted in the description as "Sold As Is, No Return Lot". You may return lots under the
following conditions: Within three days of receipt of the lot, you must first notify Auctioneer
by contacting Client Service by phone (877-HERITAGE (437-4824)) or e-mail (Bid@HA.com),
and immediately ship the lot(s) fully insured to the attention of Returns, Heritage, 3500 Maple
Avenue, 17th Floor, Dallas TX 75219-3941. Lots must be housed intact in their original holder
and condition. You are responsible for the insured, safe delivery of any lots. A non-negotiable
return fee of 5% of the purchase price ($10 per lot minimum) will be deducted from the refund
for each returned lot or billed directly. Postage and handling fees are not refunded. After the
three-day period (from receipt), no items may be returned for any reason. Late remittance for
purchases revokes these Return privileges.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM C: Bidders who have inspected the lots prior to any Auction, or
attended the Auction, or bid through an Agent, will not be granted any return privileges, except
for reasons of authenticity.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM D: Coins sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold
"as is" without any express or implied warranty, except for a guarantee by Auctioneer that they
are genuine. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and the Bidder is
referred to them for further details: Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), P.O. Box 4776,
Sarasota, FL 34230, http://www.ngccoin.com/services/writtenguarantee.asp; Professional
Coin Grading Service (PCGS), PO Box 9458, Newport Beach, CA 92658, http://www.pcgs.com/
guarantee.html; ANACS, 6555 S. Kenton St. Ste. 303, Englewood, CO 80111; and Independent
Coin Grading Co. (ICG), 7901 East Belleview Ave., Suite 50, Englewood, CO 80111.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM E: Notes sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold
"as is" without any express or implied warranty, except for guarantee by Auctioneer that they
are genuine. Grading, condition or other attributes of any lot may have a material effect on its
value, and the opinion of others, including third-party grading services such as PCGS Currency,
PMG, and CGA may differ with that of Auctioneer. Auctioneer shall not be bound by any prior or
subsequent opinion, determination, or certification by any grading service. Bidder specifically
waives any claim to right of return of any item because of the opinion, determination, or
certification, or lack thereof, by any grading service. Certain warranties may be available
from the grading services and the Bidder is referred to them for further details: Paper Money
Guaranty (PMG), PO Box 4711, Sarasota FL 34230; PCGS Currency, PO Box 9458, Newport
Beach, CA 92658; Currency Grading & Authentication (CGA), PO Box 418, Three Bridges, NJ
08887. Third party graded notes are not returnable for any reason whatsoever.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM F: Since we cannot examine encapsulated coins or notes, they are
sold "as is" without our grading opinion, and may not be returned for any reason. Auctioneer
shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any
encapsulated collectible. In any such instance, purchaser's remedy, if any, shall be solely against
the service certifying the collectible.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM G: Due to changing grading standards over time, differing
interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Auctioneer
reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service
that accompany the items. Auctioneer also reserves the right to grade items differently than
the grades shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM H: Although consensus grading is employed by most grading
services, it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely
possible that if a lot is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading service
or even to the same service, the lot could come back with a different grade assigned.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM I: Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal
risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified coins and
collectibles will vary according to general market conditions and the particular lot involved. For
some lots there may be no active market at all at certain points in time.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM J: All non-certified coins and currency are guaranteed genuine, but
are not guaranteed as to grade, since grading is a matter of opinion, an art and not a science,
and therefore the opinion rendered by the Auctioneer or any third party grading service may
not agree with the opinion of others (including trained experts), and the same expert may not
grade the same item with the same grade at two different times. Auctioneer has graded the noncertified
numismatic items, in the Auctioneer's opinion, to their current interpretation of the
American Numismatic Association's standards as of the date the catalog was prepared. There
is no guarantee or warranty implied or expressed that the grading standards utilized by the
Auctioneer will meet the standards of any grading service at any time in the future.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM K: Storage of purchased coins and currency: Purchasers are
advised that certain types of plastic may react with a coin's metal or transfer plasticizer to notes
and may cause damage. Caution should be used to avoid storage in materials that are not inert.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM L: NOTE: Purchasers of rare coins or currency through Heritage
have available the option of arbitration by the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG); if an
election is not made within ten (10) days of an unresolved dispute, Auctioneer may elect either
PNG or A.A.A. Arbitration.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM M: For more information regarding Canadian lots attributed to
the Charlton reference guides, please contact: Charlton International, PO Box 820, Station
Willowdale B, North York, Ontario M2K 2R1 Canada.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM N: Some of the lots offered herein have been assigned to 1031
Services, Inc. for the purpose of consignor's tax deferred exchange.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM O: Financing. Auctioneer offers various extended payment
options to qualified pre-approved persons and companies. The options include Extended Payment
Programs (EPP) Flexible Payment Program (FPP) and Dealer Terms. Each program has its specific
terms and conditions and such terms and conditions are strictly enforced. Each program has to
be executed by the purchaser. Auctioneer reserves the right to alter or deny credit and in such case
these auction terms shall control.

Sports Collectibles, Music, Entertainment, Political, Americana, Vintage Movie Posters and
Pop Culture memorabilia are not on approval. When the lot is accompanied by a Certificate of
Authenticity (or its equivalent) from a third-party authentication provider, buyer has no right
of return. On lots not accompanied by third-party authentication or under extremely limited
circumstances not including authenticity (e.g. gross cataloging error), a purchaser who did not
bid from the floor may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding a sale; such request must be made
in writing detailing the alleged gross error, and submission of the lot to Auctioneer must be
pre-approved by Auctioneer. A Bidder must notify the appropriate department head (check the
inside front cover of the catalog or our website for a listing of department heads) in writing of the
Bidder's request within three (3) days of the non-floor bidder's receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be
evaluated for return must be received in our offices within 35 days after Auction. AFTER THAT 35
DAY PERIOD, NO LOT MAY BE RETURNED FOR ANY REASONS. Lots returned must be in the
same condition as when sold and must include any Certificate of Authenticity. No lots purchased by

purchaser (as shown in Auctioneer's records) "Purchaser". Purchaser may not transfer the rights
afforded under the LOA and it is null and void when Purchaser transfers or attempts to transfer
the lot. The LOA warranty is valid from date of the auction in which Purchaser was awarded
the lot to four (4) years after its purchase. The LOA warranty is valid as to its attribution to the
person or entity described or to the lot's usage, e.g. game worn. Claim procedure: Purchaser must
contact the Auctioneer prior to submission of the lot as to his intent to make a claim and arrange
secure shipment. If a lot's authenticity is questioned by Purchaser within the warranty period,
Purchaser must present with the claim, authoritative written evidence that the lot is not authentic

represented, Purchaser shall be refunded their purchase price. If the Auctioneer denies the claim,
the Purchaser may file the dispute with the American Arbitration Association with locale in Dallas,
Texas, before a single arbitration under expedited rules. The LOA does not provide for incidental
or consequential damages or other indirect damages. Any lot sold with a certificate of authenticity
or other warranty from an entity other than Auctioneer or Heritage's affiliates is subject to such
issuing entity's rules and such conditions are the sole remedy afforded to purchaser.
MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM C: As authenticity and provenance are not warranted, if
a Bidder intends to challenge, authenticity or provenance of a lot he must notify Auctioneer in
writing within thirty-five (35) days of the Auction's conclusion. Any claim as to provenance or
authenticity must be first transmitted to Auctioneer by credible and definitive evidence or the
opine of a qualified third party expert and there is no assurance after such presentment that
Auctioneer will validate the claim. Authentication is not an exact science and contrary opinions
may not be recognized by Auctioneer. Even if Auctioneer agrees with the contrary opinion of such
authentication and validates the claim, Auctioneer's liability for reimbursement for any opine by
Bidder's expert shall not exceed $500. Acceptance of a claim under this provision shall be limited to
rescission of the sale and refund of purchase price; in no case shall Auctioneer's maximum liability
exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot.
While every effort is made to determine provenance and authenticity, it is the responsibility of the
Bidder to arrive at their own conclusion prior to bidding.
MEMORABILIA & HISTORICAL TERM D: In the event Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or
subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed,
Auctioneer's liability shall be limited to rescission of sale and refund of purchase price; in no case
shall Auctioneer's maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed
for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed from the close of the Auction,
Auctioneer's maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned
on that lot.

may affect the firing or attempted firing of the lot. Purchaser assumes the obligation to inspect
the lot before an attempted firing. Auctioneer suggests that each lot be thoroughly inspected by
a professional gunsmith. Heritage specifically disclaims any warranty of fitness for a particular
purpose or any warranty express or implied or otherwise stated. Auctioneer disclaims any liability
pertaining to the lot. Purchaser assumes all RISK of LOSS in the handling of the firearm.
MEMORABILIA AND HISTORICAL TERM H: Screen Shot. Screen shots included in the catalog or
on the Heritage Internet are provided for reference only. Important Notice: Many identical versions
of props and costumes are created for film and television productions in the normal course of a
production. Heritage does not warrant or represent that the screen shots referenced are exact
images of the offered item (unless specifically noted in the written description). Use of a screen
shot does not constitute a warranty or representation of authenticity or provenance. There is not a
right of return or refund based upon a claim arising out of or pertaining to any reference to a
screen shot.
SPECIAL TERM I - GUITARS: Bidders are urged to make a personal inspection of any guitar that
they intend to bid on as there is a limited right of return. Heritage makes a visual inspection of
the guitars to determine whether there are patent defects and whether the date and manufacturer
corresponds to the description. Returns are not accepted for latent defects, structural issues, or
mechanical and sound reproduction issues. It should be assumed that set up, adjustments and
normal maintenance are necessary.

SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM E: On any lot presented with a Letter of Authenticity ("LOA") issued
by Auctioneer or its Heritage affiliates, that warranty inures only to the original purchaser (as
shown in Auctioneer's records) "Purchaser". Purchaser may not transfer the rights afforded under
the LOA and it is null and void when Purchaser transfers or attempts to transfer the lot. The LOA
warranty is valid from date of the auction in which Purchaser was awarded the lot to four (4) years
after its purchase. The LOA warranty is valid as to its attribution to the person or entity described
or to the lot's usage, e.g. game worn. Claim procedure: Purchaser must contact the Auctioneer
prior to submission of the lot as to his intent to make a claim and arrange secure shipment. If a lot's
authenticity is questioned by Purchaser within the warranty period, Purchaser must present with
the claim, authoritative written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known
expert in the sports field. If Auctioneer concurs that the lot is not as represented, Purchaser shall
be refunded their purchase price. If the Auctioneer denies the claim, the Purchaser may file the
dispute with the American Arbitration Association with locale in Dallas, Texas, before a single
arbitration under expedited rules. The LOA does not provide for incidental or consequential
damages or other indirect damages. Any lot sold with a certificate of authenticity or other warranty
from an entity other than Auctioneer or Heritage's affiliates is subject to such issuing entity's rules
and such conditions are the sole remedy afforded to purchaser. For information as to third party
authentication warranties the bidder is directed to: PSA/DNA, P.O. Box 6180 Newport Beach, CA

lot must notify Auctioneer in writing within thirty (30) days of the Auction's conclusion. In the
event Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title,
provenance, authenticity, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, Auctioneer's liability shall
be limited to rescission of sale and refund of purchase price; in no case shall Auctioneer's maximum
liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the
lot. After one year has elapsed, Auctioneer's maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions
and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot.
SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM G: Auctioneer shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or
controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated collectible. In any such instance,
purchaser's remedy, if any, shall be solely against the service certifying the collectible.
SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM H: Due to changing grading standards over time, differing
interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Auctioneer reserves
the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that
accompany the items. Auctioneer also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades
shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction.
SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM I: Although consensus grading is employed by most third-party
services, it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely
possible that if a lot is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading service or
even to the same service, the lot could come back with a different grade assigned.
SPORTS COLLECTIBLES TERM J: Financing. Auctioneer offers various extended payment options to
qualified pre-approved persons and companies. The options include Extended Payment Programs
(EPP) Flexible Payment Program (FPP) and Dealer Terms. Each program has its specific terms and
conditions and such terms and conditions are strictly enforced. Each program has to be executed
by the purchaser. Auctioneer reserves the right to alter or deny credit and in such case these auction
terms shall control.

Additional Terms & Conditions:
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART AUCTIONS
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM A: Signature® Auctions are not on approval.
No certified material may be returned because of possible differences of opinion with respect to
the grade offered by any third-party organization, dealer, or service. No guarantee of grade is
offered for uncertified Property sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service.
There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. Under extremely limited circumstances, (e.g.
gross cataloging error) a purchaser, who did not bid from the floor, may request Auctioneer to
evaluate voiding a sale; such request must be made in writing detailing the alleged gross error, and
submission of the lot to the Auctioneer must be pre-approved by the Auctioneer. A bidder must
notify the appropriate department head (check the inside front cover of the catalog or our website
for a listing of department heads) in writing of such request within three (3) days of the non-floor
bidder's receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated must be in our offices within 30 days after
Auction. Grading does not qualify for this evaluation process nor do such complaints constitute
a basis to challenge the authenticity of a lot. AFTER THAT 30-DAY PERIOD, NO LOTS MAY BE
RETURNED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN AUTHENTICITY. Lots returned must be housed intact
in the original holder. No lots purchased by floor Bidders may be returned (including those Bidders
acting as agents for others). Late remittance for purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all
return privileges.
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM B: Auctions conducted solely on the Internet
have a THREE (3) DAY RETURN POLICY: Lots paid for within seven days of the Auction closing
are sold with a three (3) day return privilege. You may return lots under the following conditions:
Within three days of receipt of the lot, you must first notify Auctioneer by contacting Client Service
by phone (877-HERITAGE (437-4824)) or e-mail (Bid@HA.com), and immediately mail the lot(s)
fully insured to the attention of Returns, Heritage, 3500 Maple Avenue, 17th Floor, Dallas TX 75219-
3941. Lots must be housed intact in their original holder and condition. You are responsible for the
insured, safe delivery of any lots. A non-negotiable return fee of 5% of the purchase price ($10 per
lot minimum) will be deducted from the refund for each returned lot or billed directly. Postage and
handling fees are not refunded. After the three-day period (from receipt), no items may be returned
for any reason. Late remittance for purchases revokes all Return-Restock privileges.

auction will not be granted any return privileges.
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM D: Comic books sold referencing a third-party

Service (CBCS), P.O. Box 33048, Saint Petersburg, FL 33733-8048.

purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed, Auctioneer's maximum liability shall be
limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot.
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM F: All comics are guaranteed genuine, but are not
guaranteed as to grade, since grading is a matter of opinion, an art and not a science, and therefore
the opinion rendered by the Auctioneer or any third party grading service may not agree with the
opinion of others (including trained experts), and the same expert may not grade the same item
with the same grade at two different times.
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM G: Since we cannot examine encapsulated
comics, they are sold "as is" without our grading opinion, and may not be returned for any reason.
Auctioneer shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising
from any encapsulated collectible. In any such instance, purchaser's remedy, if any, shall be solely
against the service certifying the collectible.

differing interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Auctioneer
reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service
that accompany the items. Auctioneer also reserves the right to grade items differently than the
grades shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction.
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM I: Although consensus grading is employed by
most grading services, it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it
is entirely possible that if a lot is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading
service or even to the same service, the lot could come back with a different grade assigned.
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART TERM J: Certification does not guarantee protection
against the normal risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity
for certified collectibles will vary according to general market conditions and the particular lot
involved. For some lots there may be no active market at all at certain points in time.
COMICS, COMIC ART, & ANIMATION ART K: Financing. Auctioneer offers various extended payment
options to qualified pre-approved persons and companies. The options include Extended Payment
Programs (EPP) Flexible Payment Program (FPP) and Dealer Terms. Each program has its specific
terms and conditions and such terms and conditions are strictly enforced. Each program has to be
executed by the purchaser. Auctioneer reserves the right to alter or deny credit and in such case
these auction terms shall control.

Additional Terms & Conditions:
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY AUCTIONS
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM A: JEWELRY: As most jewelry sold at auction has
been worn, and may have been previously repaired, altered, or embellished, ALL LOTS are sold AS
IS. Such wear, repairs or changes may display varying levels of evidence, so it is the responsibility of
each prospective bidder to fully inspect each lot before bidding and rely upon their own judgment
prior to placing a bid. Bidder acknowledges that the absence of any reference to their condition does
not imply the absence of wear, repairs, or defects.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM B: WATCHES: As most watches sold at auction
have been worn, and may have been previously repaired, altered, or embellished, ALL LOTS
are sold AS IS. Such wear, repairs or changes may display varying levels of evidence, so it is the
responsibility of each prospective bidder to fully inspect each lot before bidding and rely upon
their own judgment prior to placing a bid. Bidder acknowledges that the absence of any reference to
their condition does not imply the absence of wear, repairs, or defects. No item shall be considered
eligible for return unless its original Heritage security tag remains attached and intact.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM C: All descriptions and statements in this
catalog and subsequent invoices regarding measurement, authorship, source or origin, or other
aspects are qualified opines and do not constitute a warranty or representation, and are provided
for identification purposes only. Auctioneer warrants only such authorship, period or culture of
each lot is as set out in the BOLD faced type heading in the catalog description of the lot, with
the following exclusions: this warranty does not apply to any catalog description where it was
specifically mentioned that there is a conflict of specialist opinion on the authorship of a lot; or
authorship which on the date of Auction was in accordance with the then generally accepted
opinion of scholars and specialists, despite the subsequent discovery of new information, whether
historical or physical, concerning the artist or craftsman, his students, school, workshop or
followers; or opines which may be proven inaccurate by means of scientific processes not generally
accepted for use or which were unreasonably expensive or impractical to use at the time of
publication of the catalog. Such limited warranty as to authorship is provided for a period of one (1)
year from the date of the auction and is only for the benefit of the original purchaser of record and
is not transferable, and any claim regarding a bold-faced provision must be accompanied by two
written letters by independent and authorized appraisers in support of the claim. It is specifically
understood that any refund agreed to by the Auctioneer would be limited to the purchase price.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM D: The Auction is not on approval. Under
extremely limited circumstances not including authenticity (e.g. gross cataloging error), a
purchaser who did not bid from the floor may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding a sale; such
request must be made in writing detailing the alleged gross error, and submission of the lot to
Auctioneer must be pre-approved by Auctioneer. A bidder must notify the appropriate department
head (check the inside front cover of the catalog or our website for a listing of department heads)
in writing of the purchaser's request within three (3) days of the non-floor bidder's receipt of the
lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated for return must be received in our offices within 30 days after
Auction. AFTER THAT 30 DAY PERIOD, NO LOT MAY BE RETURNED FOR ANY REASONS.
Lots returned must be in the same condition as when sold and must include any Certificate of
Authenticity. No lots purchased by floor bidders may be returned (including those bidders acting as
agents for others). Late remittance for purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all return
privileges.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM E: Pre-auction estimates of value or "bidding
estimates" are opines provided solely as a convenience to clients, and should only be used as
approximations of current market value. Estimates do not include Buyer's Premiums or sales tax.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM F: In the event Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot
or subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title or the bold faced section of description is
incorrect, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, Auctioneer's liability shall be limited to
rescission of sale and refund of purchase price; in no case shall Auctioneer's maximum liability
exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After
one year has elapsed, Auctioneer's maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees
Auctioneer earned on that lot.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM G: Provenance and authenticity are not
guaranteed by the consignor or the Auctioneer. While every effort is made to determine provenance

known, or may be excluded at the request of the consignor.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM H: On the fall of Auctioneer's hammer, Buyers
assume full risk and responsibility for lot, including shipment by common carrier or third-party
shipper, and must provide their own insurance coverage for shipments.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM I: Watches in waterproof and water-resistant
cases have been opened to identify type and condition. Auctioneer cannot guarantee that the
watches are waterproof or water-resistant at the time of purchase. Buyers are advised to have the
watches checked by a competent watchmaker with respect to such attributes.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM J: All dimensions in catalog descriptions are
approximate.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM K: Condition reports are provided as a service
to clients. Buyers should note that descriptions of property are not warranties and that watches
may need general service, change of battery or further repair work for which the buyer is solely
responsible.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM L: Watch bands made from protected species (i.e.
alligator, crocodile) and items made of ivory and tortoise may be subject to restrictions in certain
countries.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM M: Any property made of or incorporating
endangered or protected species or wildlife may have import and export restrictions established
by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
These items are not available to ship Internationally or in some cases, domestically. By placing a bid
the bidder acknowledges that he is aware of the restriction and takes responsibility in obtaining and
paying for any license or permits relevant to delivery of the product. Lots containing potentially
regulated wildlife material are noted in the description as a convenience to our clients. Heritage
Auctions does not accept liability for errors or for failure to mark lots containing protected or
regulated species.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM N: Descriptions of Handbags, Purses, and
Wallets may denote that the hardware is "gold" or "silver". Such terms refer to the metal color of
the hardware, rather than that the hardware is made of a precious metal. Unless there is specific
mention as to carat weight or precious metal weight of the hardware, all descriptions using the
terms "gold" or "silver" are descriptive of color of the hardware, not a reference to the hardware
being made or platted with a precious metal.
JEWELRY, WATCH & LUXURY ACCESSORY TERM O: California State law prohibits the importation
of any product containing Python skin into the State of California, thus no lot containing Python
skin will be shipped to or invoiced to a person or company in California.

WINE AUCTIONS
WINE AUCTION TERM A: Bidder's Age: You must be at least 21 years of age to participate in our
auctions.
WINE AUCTION TERM B: Descriptions: While Auctioneer has attempted to describe all property
as accurately as possible, such description is based upon a physical inspection and observation.
Auctioneer does not warrant or represent, and denies responsibility for the accuracy of the
descriptions, encompassing but not limited to, vintage, provenance, authenticity, quality and
condition as may be stated on the site. Any and all statements made relating to the property
offered on the site are merely statement of opinion and at no time can be construed as warranties
and representations of fact or assumptions of any liability on the part of Auctioneer. Auctioneer

or electronic. And may withdraw any lot.
WINE AUCTION TERM C: Lots sold "AS IS" "WHEREAS": Buyer accepts all purchases "AS IS" and
"WHEREAS", notwithstanding any other terms of the Conditions of Sale.
WINE AUCTION TERM D: Notice: The wine industry estimates seven percent (7%) of all wine
sealed with natural corks is ruined because of a natural fungus in corkwood that produces the
chemical compound trichloroanisole. In almost all cases of "corked" wine, the aroma of the
wine is reduced significantly, and a heavily tainted wine is completely undrinkable. Since all of
our wine is consigned, and much of it very rare, we cannot replace wines that have been ruined
because of cork taint. We do not accept returns of corked wine nor do we refund for corked wine.
WINE AUCTION TERM E: Shipping: All items will be available to the Buyer for pickup or shipment
upon Buyer's payment of the purchase price and prepaid shipping charges. Please note that due
to the temperature-sensitivity of wine and complicated wine shipping regulations, we do not
automatically ship wine lots. Please contact the Wine department at WineAuctionShipping@
HA.com or (310) 492-8635 to make your shipping arrangements. All lots are delivered by Buyer's
preferred method of shipping or by Auctioneer's selection if no Buyer preference is indicated.
Buyer shall assume full responsibility for shipping expenses. This includes shipping costs,
packing, and handling. Buyers need to be aware that many states impose restrictions on the
quantity of alcoholic beverages purchased or brought into its jurisdiction from another state.
Special permits may be required; Auctioneer takes no responsibility for any shipment to any state
outside of California nor any confiscation of a shipment to any state.
WINE AUCTION TERM F: Risk of Loss: The sale of the wine between Auctioneer and Buyer
takes place at Auctioneer's California facility. Risk of Loss passed to Buyer upon Auctioneer's
determination of the winning bid. Auctioneer will not reimburse Buyers for lost or damaged
shipments. Auctioneer will take precautions to package the wine according to industry standards
to minimize the possibility of damage. Auctioneer does not cover any loss or damage due to
exposure to temperature variations, shipping delays or defect in or failure of any cork or other
bottle closure.
WINE AUCTION TERM G: Shipment outside of California: The primary means of distribution will
be common carrier. All wines are to be sold in California by Seller and title passes to Buyer in
California. Auctioneer makes no representation as to the rights of anyone to import wine into
any state that restricts the personal importation of wine, the wine will be held at Auctioneer's
facility on behalf of Buyer until Buyer makes arrangements to ship the lot to an address in a state
that permits such shipments or receives Buyer's other written instructions.
STORAGE CHARGES: Wines not picked up within one (1) months of the auction will accrue charges
of $10.00 per case or partial case per month. Charges will be applied on the first day of the
subsequent month and each month thereafter. Wines will not be released or shipped to customers
until storage fees are paid.
WINE AUCTION TERM H: Weather: When the weather is too hot or too cold to safely ship wines,
Auctioneer will temporarily store Buyers' wines at no charge.
WINE AUCTION TERM I. Change in Condition: Though every effort is made to describe or measure
the levels of older vintages, corks more than twenty (20) years old begin to lose their elasticity
and levels can change between cataloging and sale. Old corks occasionally fail during or after
shipment. Buyers must understand that there is always a risk of cork failure with old wines.
Under no circumstances can an adjustment of price or credit be made after delivery.
WINE AUCTION TERM J: License: Heritage Collectibles, Inc. licensed in the State of California and
holds Type 17 and 20 licenses No 5000295.

qualified pre-approved persons and companies. The options include Extended Payment Programs
(EPP) Flexible Payment Program (FPP) and Dealer Terms. Each program has its specific terms and
conditions and such terms and conditions are strictly enforced. Each program has to be executed
by the purchaser. Auctioneer reserves the right to alter or deny credit and in such case these
auction terms shall control.

material may be returned because of possible differences of opinion with respect to the grade
offered by any third-party organization, dealer, or service. No guarantee of grade is offered for
ungraded Property sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. There
are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. Under extremely limited circumstances, (e.g. gross
cataloging error) a purchaser, who did not bid from the floor, may request Auctioneer to evaluate
voiding a sale: such request must be made in writing detailing the alleged gross error; submission
of the lot to the Auctioneer must be pre-approved by the Auctioneer; and bidder must notify Jessica

the non-floor bidder's receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated must be in our offices within
30 days after Auction. Grading does not qualify for this evaluation process nor do such complaints
constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of a lot. Lots returned must be housed intact in
their original holder. No lots purchased by floor Bidders may be returned (including those acting
through agents). Late remittance for purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all return
privileges.
STAMPS & PHILATELIC ITEMS TERM B: Auctions conducted solely on the Internet THREE (3)
DAY RETURN POLICY: Certified Stamps, and Certified and Uncertified Philatelic Items paid for
within seven days of the weekly or monthly Internet Auction closing are sold with a three (3) day

deducted from the refund for each returned lot or billed directly. Postage and handling fees are not
refunded. After the three-day period (from receipt), no items may be returned for any reason. Late
remittance for purchases revokes these Return privileges.
STAMPS & PHILATELIC ITEMS TERM C: Multiple stamp / item lots, including sets, collections, large
lots, and small group lots, whether certified or not, are not sold on approval, and are sold "As Is"
Without Warranty. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy.
STAMPS & PHILATELIC ITEMS TERM D: Stamps and Philatelic Items sold referencing a thirdparty
certification or grading service are sold "As Is" Without Warranty. Bidder shall solely
rely upon warranties of the authentication provider issuing the Certificate or opinion. Grading,
condition or other attributes of any lot may have a material effect on its value, and the opinion of
others, including third-party grading services such as PSE, PF, and APEX may differ with that of
Auctioneer. Auctioneer shall not be bound by any prior or subsequent opinion, determination, or
certification by any grading service. Bidder specifically waives any claim to right of return of any
item because of the opinion, determination, or certification, or lack thereof, by any grading service.
Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and the Bidder is referred to them
for further details: Professional Stamp Experts (PSE), P.O. Box 6170, Newport Beach, CA 92658;
Philatelic Foundation (PF), 70 West 40th St., 15th Floor, New York, NY 10018; American Philatelic
Expertising Service (APEX), 100 Match Factory Place, Bellefonte, PA 16823; or, for other services,
as otherwise noted on the Certificate. Third party graded stamps are not returnable for any reason
whatsoever. Auctioneer shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining
to or arising from any encapsulated collectible. In any such instance, purchaser's remedy, if any,
shall be solely against the service certifying the collectible.
STAMPS & PHILATELIC ITEMS TERM E: In the event Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or
subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed,
Auctioneer's liability shall be limited to rescission of sale and refund of purchase price; in no case
shall Auctioneer's maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed
for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed from the close of the Auction,
Auctioneer's maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned
on that lot.
STAMPS & PHILATELIC ITEMS TERM F: Grading is a matter of opinion, an art and not a science,
and therefore the opinion rendered by the Auctioneer or any third party grading service may not
agree with the opinion of others (including trained experts), and the same expert may not grade the
same item with the same grade at two different times. Although consensus grading is employed by
most grading services, it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it
is entirely possible that if a lot is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading
service or even to the same service, the lot could come back with a different grade assigned.
STAMPS & PHILATELIC ITEMS TERM G: Auctioneer does not warrant provenance of a stamp
or philatelic item; it is the responsibility of the Bidder to arrive at their own conclusion prior to
bidding.
STAMPS & PHILATELIC ITEMS TERM H: Due to changing grading standards over time, differing
interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Auctioneer reserves
the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that
accompany the items. Auctioneer also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades
shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction.
STAMPS & PHILATELIC ITEMS TERM I: Certification does not guarantee protection against the
normal risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified and
graded stamps and collectibles will vary according to general market conditions and the particular
lot involved. For some lots there may be no active market at all at certain points in time.
STAMPS & PHILATELIC ITEMS TERM J: Storage of purchased stamps and philatelic items:
Purchasers are advised that certain types of plastic may react with a stamp's ink(s), gum and/or
paper or transfer plasticizer to stamps and may cause damage. Caution should be used to avoid
storage in materials that are not inert.
STAMPS & PHILATELICS TERM K: Extension Policy:
a. The successful bidder may request the Auctioneer to have a Property or Properties authenticated by
an expertizing service set forth in Auctioneer's preapproved expertizing committees. The extension
shall be governed by this section.
b. As a condition precedent to the request to place a Property on extension the successful bidder must
either deposit the purchase price of the Property with Auctioneer or have a preapproved credit limit
covering at least the amount of the successful bid.
c. Properties auctioned at a Signature Auction that do not have certificates or have certificates dated
more than five (5) years prior to the auction are eligible for expertizing.
d. The successful bidder may submit a lot for authentication to an expertizing service accepted by
Heritage.
e. The successful bidder's election to submit a Property for expertizing must be made in writing and
such writing must be received by Heritage in writing within 30 days of last day of the auction along
with a photocopy of the application to the expertizing committee.
f. The Successful bidder shall notify Auctioneer immediately that a submitted Property has cleared,
failed, or had a no opinion certificate issued by the appointed expertizing committee and thereafter
immediately pay for Property or approve the release of the Property's deposit if applicable.
g. The failure of the expertizing service to render an opinion is not grounds for return of the Property
and the successful bidder shall have their deposit transferred to auctioneer or if credit had been
extended pay for the Property immediately.
h. No Property sent to an expertizing committee in the United States may be eligible for a refund or
cancellation of its invoice after 120 days following the last day of the sale. Properties sent to an
overseas expertizing committee may not be returned after 180 days following the last day of the
sale. If the expertizing committee either domestically or overseas fails to issue an opinion in the
foregoing time periods, the successful bidder is responsible to immediately pay for the Property.
i. The Property must be returned to the Auctioneer in the same condition as when delivered to
the successful bidder. The Successful Bidder until a Property is returned shall assume all risk
of loss and damage to the Property. In the event of loss or damage the successful bidder shall be
responsible for the amount of his successful bid and costs of collection.
j. In the event of an unfavorable opinion, Heritage will refund the cost of the lot (if the successful
bidder has made a deposit or if on credit cancel the invoice), plus the expertizing fees up to $650.00.
k. On Properties subject to this section, the successful bidder waives any and all other claims
pertaining to the auction, the Property or otherwise except as expressly stated herein.
