the manner in which the bidding shall be conducted. Kelleher reserves the right to withdraw
any lot prior to sale (without liability to any potential purchaser or agent), to re-offer any withdrawn
lot, to divide a lot or to group two or more lots belonging to the same consignor or vendor, and to
refuse any bid believed not made in good faith. Estimates of sales prices contained in the printed

to reoffer the lot in dispute. Should a dispute arise after the sale, the auctioneer’s sale records shall
be conclusive. On all lots sold, a commission of 22%* on the hammer price is payable by the buyer

shall not be liable for errors and omissions in executing instructions to bid, however received, and
whether such errors or omissions be those of the bidder or agent or those of the auctioneer.
(b) Lots are offered subject to a reserve price. The auctioneer will implement such reserve price by
bidding on behalf of the consignor/ vendor. (c) It may also be assumed that all consignors have been
advanced monies against the sale of their consigned material and Kelleher therefore has a security
interest in the consigned material over and above the normal auction commission.

sale subject to commissions and sales tax as applicable.
(e) Agents are responsible for the payment of the purchase price for all purchases made on behalf of

(c) Mail/Internet/FAX/Website Bidders. A successful mail bidder will be notified of lots purchased.

(b) In the event that a bidder shall fail to comply with these Conditions of Sale (Non-Complying
Bidder), then, as to any lot with respect to which such failure to comply occurs, Kelleher, may, in

from the sale of a re-offered lot be payable to a Non-Complying Bidder.

in Kellehers’ possession owned by such purchaser. Kelleher shall have all of the rights afforded a
purchase money secured party under the Connecticut Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) with
respect to such property and may apply against such obligations all monies held or received by it
for the account of, or due from Kelleher to such purchaser. Kelleher is authorized to file a Financing

receipt by such purchaser (Returning Purchaser), provided, however, that the same is received by
Kelleher within four weeks of the date of the auction and in its original packaging; however, Kelleher
may, in its discretion, refuse acceptance of such returned lot. If an opinion of a mutually acceptable
authority is desired (Extension), the period of time within which a lot must be received by
Kelleher will be extended in accordance with Condition of Sale 7(g). In the event that a dispute cannot
be resolved by reference to a mutually acceptable authority, and Kelleher thereupon undertakes
to re-offer the lot with a description identical to the description disputed, the Returning Purchaser
shall be liable for the deficiency, if any, between the proceeds of the sale to the Returning Purchaser
and the proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchaser, as well as for all costs and expenses of the

items. (d) Authenticity. Any lot which is declared other than genuine by a mutually recognized
authority is returnable, provided such lot is received by Kelleher within four weeks of the date of the

for the return of a lot. (e) Expenses incurred by a purchaser in the submission and the return of a
lot under Conditions of Sale 7 is not subject to refund. (f) Numerical grading is subjective and is
based upon the condition of each issue. Lots may not be returned if a third party grades a stamp
