HENRY MARTIN GASSER (American 1909-1981) Tournament No. 1: A Newark Gym, c. 1940 Watercolor on paper 23.5in. x 35.5in. (sight size) Signed lower left: H. Gasser Provenance: Macbeth Gallery, New York, c. 1950; present owner, c. 1980 Exhibited: Baltimore Water Color Club, 1960 (1st Place Award) Illustrated: Henry Gasser, Casein Painting: Methods and Demonstrations (New York, NY: Watson-Guptill Publications, 1950), p.18 Tournament No. 1 is a tour de force in Gasser's oeuvre and it is the first of four paintings that make up his Tournament series. It is reported he considered it his best work. Boxing is a quintessential urban sport and subject popularized by Ashcan artist George Bellows with his dynamic ring fight images. Here, Gasser gives a unique interpretation of the boxing subject: rather than adopting the mid-punch action of the fight, he examines the segregated souls that inhabited the Newark New Jersey athletic club of his time. A rare period work of African American art. Born in Newark, New Jersey, Gasser studied at the Newark School of Fine Art and Industrial Art. He later studied at Grand Central School of Art and at the Art Students League in New York City under Robert Brackman and John R. Grabach. Gasser's paintings are housed in prestigious public collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Newark Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the National Gallery of Art. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 25% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES: Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com Shipping Details:

<![if !supportLists]>3.
<![endif]>Exclusively
Internet, CurrencyAuction.com, Amazing Comics Auctions, and Bullet Auctions are
auctions conducted on the Internet. Signature auctions accept bids on the
Internet first, followed by a floor bidding session. Bids may be placed prior
to the floor bidding session by Internet, telephone, fax, or mail.

Bidders:<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>4.
<![endif]>Any
person participating in or who registers for the auction agrees to be bound by
and accepts these Terms and Conditions of Auction ("Bidder(s)").<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>5.
<![endif]>All
Bidders must meet Auctioneer's qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a
customer in good standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at Auctioneer's
sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such a 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. <o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>6.
<![endif]>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.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>7.
<![endif]>Auctioneer
reserves the right to exclude any person it deems in its sole opinion is
disruptive to the auction or is otherwise commercially unsuitable.

Credit References:<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>8.
<![endif]>Bidders
who do not have established credit with the Auctioneer must either furnish
satisfactory credit information including two collectibles-related references
well in advance of the auction date or supply valid credit card information.
All Bidders must meet Auctioneer's qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not
a customer in good standing at Auctioneer may be disqualified and will not be
awarded lots. Auctioneer reserves the right to disqualify any Bidder even after
the close of the auction. Bids placed through our Interactive Internet program
will only be accepted from pre-registered Bidders. Bidders who are not members
of the website should pre-register at least two business days before the first

may be placed for a Signature Sale as set forth in the printed catalog section
entitled "Choose your bidding method." For all other auctions see the
alternatives shown on each website <o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>10.
<![endif]>The
Auctioneer cannot be responsible for your errors in bidding, so carefully check
that your bid is entered correctly. When identical mail or FAX bids are
submitted, preference is given to the first received; Internet bids are
evaluated as received first. The decision of the Auctioneer and declaration of
the winning Bidder is final. The 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 the Auctioneer
responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX,
e-mail, Internet, or in person once the auction begins. To ensure the greatest
accuracy, your written bids should be entered on the standard bid sheet form
and be received at the Auctioneer's place of business at least two business
days in advance of the auction date. Internet bids may not be withdrawn until
your written request is received and acknowledged by Auctioneer (FAX:
214-443-8425); 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 in advance.

Conducting the Auction:<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>11.
<![endif]>Notice
of the consignor's liberty to place reserve bids on his lots in the auction is
hereby made in accordance with Article 2 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code.
A reserve is an amount below which the lot will not sell. THE CONSIGNOR OF
PROPERTY MAY PLACE WRITTEN RESERVE BIDS ON HIS LOTS IN ADVANCE OF THE AUCTION.
ON LOTS SUBJECT TO A RESERVE, IF THE LOT DOES NOT MEET THE RESERVE THE
CONSIGNOR MAY PAY A REDUCED COMMISSION ON THOSE LOTS. Reserves are generally
posted online about 3 days prior to the auction closing on Internet-Only auctions,
and 7 days prior to the auction on Signature auctions. IF THERE IS AN UNMET
RESERVE BID POSTED ON A LOT, THE CURRENT BID DISPLAYED ONLINE WILL
AUTOMATICALLY BE SET AT ONE INCREMENT BELOW THE RESERVE BID. The Auctioneer
will not knowingly accept (and reserves the right to reject) live telephone or
floor bids from consignors. Any successful bid placed by a consignor on his
consigned lot on the auction floor or by telephone during the live session, or
after the reserves for an auction have been posted, will be considered an
unqualified bid, and in such instances the consignor agrees to pay full Buyer's
Premium and Seller's Commissions on the lot(s) even if (s)he buys them back.
Reserves are generally posted online about 3 days prior to the auction closing
on Internet Only auctions and 7 days prior to the auction on Signature
auctions.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>12.
<![endif]>The
highest qualified Bidder shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute
between floor Bidders at a Signature Sale, the Auctioneer may at his sole
discretion put the lot up for auction again. The Auctioneer's decision shall be
final and binding upon all Bidders.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>13.
<![endif]>The
Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount
of any bid which, in his sole discretion, is not submitted in "Good
Faith," or is not supported by satisfactory credit, numismatic references,
or otherwise. A bid is considered not made in "Good Faith" when an
insolvent or irresponsible person, or a person under the age of eighteen makes
it. 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".<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>14.
<![endif]>All
items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be
broken. The Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any
lot or lots from the auction. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts
only.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>15.
<![endif]>No
"buy" or "unlimited" bids will be accepted. Bidders will be
awarded lots at approximately the increment of the next highest bid. No
additional commission is charged for executing bids other than the Buyer's
Premium applied to all successful bids. Off-increment bids may be accepted by
the Auctioneer at Signature auctions.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>16.
<![endif]>Estimates
will be given upon written request. It is recommended that Bidders approach or
exceed the estimates in order to increase the chances of bidding successfully.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>17.
<![endif]>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 otherwise.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>18.
<![endif]>Outage
Policy: Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or Server outages
during which Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outage occurs,
we may at our discretion extend bidding for the auction up to 24 hours. At our
discretion, Auctioneer may consider two outages that occur very closely to one
another to be one outage when extending such auction. This policy applies only
to widespread outages and not to isolated problems that occur in various parts
of the country from time to time. <o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>19.
<![endif]>Scheduled
Downtime: Auctioneer periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and
other purposes; this scheduled downtime is not covered by the Outage Policy.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>20.
<![endif]>The
Auctioneer or affiliates may consign items to be sold in this auction, and may
place reserve bids on those items or any other in the auction. The Auctioneer
or affiliates expressly reserve the right to modify any such reserve bids on
these items or any others at any time prior to the live auction or the online
closing based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its affiliate.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>21.
<![endif]>The
Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans to certain consignors, and
may extend financing or other credits at varying rates to certain Bidders in
the auction.

<![if !supportLists]>33.
<![endif]>Signature
Sales: The auction is 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. 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 void a sale. Such request for evaluation must be made in writing
detailing the alleged gross error, and submission of the lot to the Auctioneer
must be preapproved by the Auctioneer. A Bidder must notify <a
href="mailto:bid@heritagegalleries.com">bid@heritagegalleries.com</a> in
writing of the Bidder's request and such notice must be mailed within three (3)
days of the mail Bidder's receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated
must be received in our offices within 30 days from the date of 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 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.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>49.
<![endif]>Coins
sold referencing a third-party grading service ("Certified Coins")
are sold "as is" without any express or implied warranty, except for
a guarantee by Auctioneer that the Certified Coins are genuine. Certain
warranties may be available from the grading services and the Bidder is
referred to the following services for details of any such warranties: ANACS,
P.O. Box 182141, Columbus, Ohio 43218-2141; Numismatic Guaranty Corporation
(NGC), P.O. Box 4776, Sarasota, FL 34230; Professional Coin Grading Service
(PCGS), PO Box 9458, Newport Beach, CA 92658 and ICG, 7901 East Belleview Ave.,
Suite 50, Englewood, CO 80111. Comic books sold referencing a third-party
grading service ("Certified Comics") are sold "as is"
without any express or implied warranty, except for a guarantee by Auctioneer
that the Certified Comics are genuine. Certain warranties may be available from
the grading services and the Bidder is referred to the following services for
details of any such warranties: Comics Guaranty Corporation (CGC), P.O. Box
4738, Sarasota, FL 34230. Currency sold referencing a third-party grading
service ("Certified Currency") are sold "as is" without any
express or implied warranty, except for a guarantee by Auctioneer that the
Certified Currency are genuine. Certain warranties may be available from the
grading services and the Bidder is referred to the following services for
details of any such warranties: Currency Grading & Authentication (CGA), PO
Box 418, Three Bridges, NJ 08887.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>50.
<![endif]>All
non-certified coins and comics and currency are guaranteed genuine, but are not
guaranteed as to grade, since grading is a matter of opinion. Grading is an
art, 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 coin with the same
grade at two different times. Auctioneer has graded the non-certified 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 ANACS, NGC,
PCGS, ICG, CGC, CGA or any other grading service at any time in the future.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>51.
<![endif]>Auctioneer
offers no opinion as to the validity of a grade assigned by any third-party
grading service. Since we cannot examine C.G.A. encapsulated notes or Comics
Guaranty Corporation (CGC) 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 certification service
certifying the collectible.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>52.
<![endif]>Due
to changing grading standards over time and to possible mishandling of items by
subsequent owners, the Auctioneer reserves the right to grade items differently
than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the items.
For the same reasons as stated above, the Auctioneer reserves the right to
grade items differently than the grades shown in the catalog should such items
be reconsigned to any future auction.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>53.
<![endif]>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 was broken out of a plastic holder and was resubmitted
to another grading service or even the same service, the lot could come back a
different grade. Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal
risks associated with potentially volatile markets. <o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>54.
<![endif]>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.

Release:<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>55.
<![endif]>In
consideration of participation in the auction and the placing of a bid, a
Bidder expressly releases Auctioneer, its affiliates, the Consignor, or Owner
of the Lot from any and all claims, cause of action, chose of action, whether
at law or equity or any arbitration or mediation rights existing under the
rules of any professional society or affiliation based upon the assigned grade
or a derivative theory, breach of warranty express or implied, representation
or other matter set forth within these Terms and Conditions of Auction or
otherwise, except as specifically declared herein; e.g., authenticity, typographical
error, etc., and as to those matters, the rights and privileges conferred
therein are strictly construed and is the exclusive remedy. Purchaser by
non-compliance to its express terms of a granted remedy, shall waive any claim
against Auctioneer.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Provision:<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>56.
<![endif]>By
placing a bid or otherwise participating in the auction, such person or entity
accepts these Terms and Conditions of Auction, and specifically agrees to the
alternative dispute resolution provided herein. Arbitration replaces the right
to go to court, including the right to a jury trial.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>57.
<![endif]>If
any dispute arises regarding payment, authenticity, grading, description,
provenance or any other matter pertaining to the auction, the Bidder or a
participant in the auction and/or the Auctioneer agree that the dispute shall
be submitted, if otherwise unresolved, to binding arbitration in accordance
with the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association (A.A.A.). The
A.A.A. arbitration shall be conducted under the provisions of the Federal
Arbitration Act with locale in Dallas, Texas. The prevailing party may be
awarded his reasonable attorney's fees and costs. An arbitrator's award is
enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any claim made by a bidder
has to be presented within one (1) year or it is barred. Any claim as to
provenance or authenticity must first be transmitted to Auctioneer by credible
and definitive evidence and there is no assurance such presentment that
Auctioneer will validate the claim. Authentication is not an exact science and
other contrary opinions may not be recognized by Auctioneer. Auctioneer in no
event shall be responsible for consequential and incidental damages and the
value of an item is determined by its high bid, which is Auctioneer's maximum
liability. Provenance is not guaranteed by the Auctioneer, but rather
provenance is guaranteed by the consignor. Any action or claim shall include
the consignor with auctioneer acting as interpleador or nominal party. While
every effort is made to determine provenance and authenticity it is up to the
Bidder to arrive at that conclusion prior to bidding.<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>58.
<![endif]>In
consideration of his participation in or application for the auction, a person
or entity (whether the successful Bidder, a Bidder, a purchaser and/or other
Auction participant or registrant) agrees, that all disputes in any way
relating to, arising under, connected with, or incidental to these Terms and
Conditions and his purchases or default in payment thereof shall be arbitrated
pursuant to the arbitration provision. In the event that any matter including
actions to compel arbitration, construe the agreement, actions in aid or
arbitration or otherwise needs to be litigated, such litigation shall be
exclusively in the Courts of the State of Texas, in Dallas County, Texas, and
if necessary the corresponding appellate courts. The successful Bidder,
purchaser, or Auction participant also expressly submits himself to the
personal jurisdiction of the State of Texas.

Miscellaneous:<o:p></o:p>

<![if !supportLists]>59.
<![endif]>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
an item, or to utilize the Auctioneer'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, 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.<o:p></o:p>
