ESTIMATES The estimates provided are intended as a guide to bidding. The figures are based on recent values. A bid between the listed figures would, in our opinion, have a fair chance of success (at the time this catalog was prepared). The estimates are exclusive of the Buyer's Premium and may be revised at any time prior to the auction. Estimates include linen-backing and/or restoration values. LOT NUMBERS Each item or group of items has been assigned a lot number for the auction. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalog. BIDDER REGISTRATION All persons attending the auction must obtain a bidding number if they wish to be recognized as bidders. If bids cannot be made in person or by an agent, they can be made by mail or telephone, and such bids will be executed without additional charge. Absentee registration must be completed by 4:00 PM EST on Friday, October 16, 2009. CONDITION Every effort has been made to accurately describe the material in a consistent manner. As these ratings are subjective, prospective buyers should inspect all material carefully before placing a bid. Each item has been rated according to the following scale: * Condition A: Mint or near mint, like new with fresh coloring and no significant restoration. Normal touch-up at the folds. * Condition B: Very good condition, with minor imperfections, possible minimal restoration in background, folds, or less significant areas. * Condition C: Good to fair condition, with some noticeable restoration, possible holes, replaced corners, some fading, paper loss, dirt, tape, tears, etc. * Pluses (+) and minuses (-) reflect degrees of variation of listed conditions. Call for specific descriptions or any further questions. Please note, unrestored posters with significant fold separation or soiling that are graded as condition B would, with proper mounting and restoration, become legitimate condition A or A- posters. Pictures in the catalog and on the website should not be used to evaluate the condition of any piece as various attributes of the items, including colors, cannot always be reflected accurately by our photography and printing equipment. Items are sold as is. Still lots may include both originals and re-releases and some may be copies or restrikes. If you have interest in a particular lot please make arrangements to inspect it in person prior to the auction in Kirtland or Chicago.
