When it
comes to RR Auction news really does travel fast, especially good news! This
month, the company is holding a Fine Autograph and Artifact Auction which
includes some of the most amazing items a collector could hope for. The Auction
house holds similar events each month and they always manage to bring in unique
and rare artifacts that can spike the interest of even the most passionate
collectors in the world.
For
instance, some of this month’s highlights include an inaugural NeXTWORLD Expo poster signed by none other than Steve
Jobs himself. Being actually signed by the founder of the event makes this
poster all the more valuable. On top of that, the item is in mint condition,
except for some edge creasing. This is probably one of the rarest and hardest
to find collectibles in this entire lot, the vibrantly colored poster being one
of a kind.
One other
major item that is almost breathtaking, especially when taking into account its
provenance is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s serenade in D major. The item is basically a
handwritten musical manuscript. Although it is not signed or dated, it is
believed to have been written somewhere around 1773. It is the 34th
leaf out of a total of 58. Apart from the page number, the item also contains a
foliation number, 79 which are both though to be in Leopold Mozart’s
handwriting. One of the most surprising details about this item is the fact
that it is in fine condition and has been perfectly preserved up until now. It
is thought that Mozart wrote this serenade at the age of 17 as a congratulatory
piece meant to celebrate the graduation of a family friend.
Other
valuable and unique items included in this auction are an eight letter page
written by Thomas Paine in defense of “Age of Reason” and an incredibly rare
Marilyn Monroe magazine cover from 1947 signed as Norma Jeane. These are the
type of collectibles that RR Auction brings forth each month as part of their
Fine Autographs and Artifacts Auction.
All of
these items and more are available to browse on RR Auction’s webpage.
