User Agreement  THE FOLLOWING SETS FORTH THE TERMS ON WHICH Iconic Memorabilia LLC ("Auctioneer"), OFFERS ACCESS TO OUR SERVICE TO BIDDERS ("Bidder"). USE OF THIS SERVICE CONSTITUTES USER'S AGREEMENT WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS DESCRIBED. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR CHANGE THESE CONDITIONS AT ANY TIME.  AUCTION BIDDING PROCEDURES & RULES THIS AUCTION WILL CLOSE USING THE "OPEN ENDED" 30-MINUTE RULE ***PLEASE READ CAREFULLY*** This auction will be governed by an "open-ended" 30-minute rule. Like a standard 30-minute rule auction, the sale will go into 15-minute rule mode starting on closing day at 7 p.m. PST (10 p.m. EST). However, under the "open-ended" rules, ANY bidder can bid at ANY time on ANY lot in the auction, either before the start of the 30-minute rule or even after the 30-minute rule begins. Hence, even if a bidder has not bid on any particular lot in the sale, under the terms of the "open-ended" 30-minute rule they are able to bid on any lot in the sale even after that start of the 30-minute rule. The extended bidding period will continue indefinitely, with each lot receiving it's own 30-minute countdown clock. A lot will close when the Auctioneer has not received any new bids on that lot--either by phone or via the internet--for a period of thirty (30) minutes. At that time, the auction will be deemed completed and winning bidders will be determined. This process may take several hours and the auction may go well into the evening. If you did not plan to stay up late, we strongly suggest you leave your highest "Top All" bid with us prior to the auction's closing. Futhermore, Auctioneer will reserve the right to end the auction at any point after five (5) hours of extended bidding in the 30-Minute Rule period should it be deemed that the auction is being unnecessarily extended by trivial bidding. If you have any questions regarding the "open-ended" 30-minute rule, please call us at 1-800-325-7127 for further information and clarification.   IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING AUTHENTICITY Iconic Memorabilia LLC takes active measures to determine authenticity and bring our bidding clientele security and comfort when bidding on autographed memorablilia.

The grade or condition or estimated value herein represents the opinion of the Auctioneer and/or its Consignors. It is possible that two people do not always grade or evaluate the same item alike. Every effort is made by the Auctioneer to determine provenance and authenticity. Auctioneer is not bound by the differing opinion of grading services, outside authenticators, or so-called "experts". LOTS MAY NOT BE RETURNED BASED UPON A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION IN GRADING OR AUTHENTICATION. It is ultimately the Bidder's responsibility to arrive at a final conclusion PRIOR to bidding. Please do not bid on a lot if you are not comfortable with the stated authentication(s) that accompany a lot. Inquiries concerning condition are strongly advised. Internet and/or catalog pictures should NOT be used to determine condition or grade as in some instances pictures have been cropped or enlarged in order to provide the best possible representation of an item within the scale restrictions of the medium. Prospective bidders are welcomed to call our offices at 1-800-325-7127 for detailed condition reports. 7.)
