Kevin

To Whom It May Concern:

Please continue to send me this very unique magazine. It’s very neat and I read every page and take some of the more historical notes out of your magazine to our museum in town for their display cabinet. Once again thanks for the magazine. I look forward to each magazine. Never will I throw one away, I guarantee you that!

William E. Rezac

To Victor of American Memorabilia:

As a scout of 30 years for the White Sox, Milwaukee Braves, St. Louis Cardinals, LA Angels and Philadelphia Phillies, discoveries include Steve Carlton, Bucky Dent, Mike Tyson, Ray Bore, Pete Broberg, and March McGwire I have done business with many people and companies. I've been doing business with your for 5 years and have no complaints and I have always found you to be honest and of good character.

Dear Kieta:

Thank you very much for your footage. We were able to find the shot we wanted and it worked out great.

Thanks again and Best Regards,

Kristen Snyder - HBO Sports

Dear Victor, Kieta and Staff:

I want to thank all of you, for the wonderful reception you gave to us when we came to do the interview for the sale of the Game Used Yankee team bat and ball from 1934. I cannot tell you how much we appreciated all the help you gave us in authenticating the ball and arranging for the sale of the items. We felt very secure that you were doing all possible to get us the best price possible. It was so professionally done and we were pleased to have the chance to work with you for it. Thanks again. The very best wishes to you in all future auctions. We have told several people who have the memorabilia to market about your company.

Sincerely,

Marth Grimme

Dear Kieta:

I just wanted to drop you a line to compliment your magazine on the Feb and Mar 08 issues. I showed them to my wife who thought that the modeling pages you have there are simply fantastic! She couldn't believe how professional, sensual, and glamourous they were. She remarked how much better they are than other magazines like the SI swimsuit issue. Keep up the great work. My wife and I enjoy the magazines...of course, I'm just interested in the auction items )

Dear Victor and Kieta:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for the informative service and pleasant attitude that was always available in the lead-up and auctioning of the Simpson Collection of “The Miami Beach’s 5th st. Gym and Dundee Brother’s Legacy.” For 2 years, contacts were made for the sale of the 50 year collection with many individuals and organizations. Information was made available on local, state, national and internationl levels but I was told that there wasn’t very much of a market for boxing memorabilia except for articles and equipment signed by Ali. The only interest was from dealers who wanted to purchase some of the collection for resale value. I contacted you and you immediately showed interest. You and your team were openely concerned about my passion for the collection. The pictures, write-ups and short stories in the American Memorabilia Magazine, I felt, was the deciding factor in the sale of all the articles. Again, I want to thank you and your superb team for your assistance.

Yours in the Sport of Boxing,

Dwaine Simpson

I love the layout of the magazine.  Great articles, information and memorabilia.  I see why you get the best prices in the industry.

Dear Kieta:

You have done an excellent job auctioning off my collection and I want to thank you and Victor. I remember meeting you guys during the All Star Game in Pittsburgh and I struggled as to selling or not and trusting or not. I am very happy with the results - prices - payments - everything. I hope all is well and you guys are getting those consignments.

Thanks again,

Kevin

Dear Kieta:

I really enjoy the magazine and I collect game used items and your auction house is the place to buy them and look for the real deal.

Terry Lofgren

American Memorabilia Auction Magazine is rated the best in the industry.

Enjoy your magazine. If I win all my items I'll come to Vegas.

Thanks Perry

Keep up the good work on the magazine. I keep these as collectors items.  I have everyone that you guys have put out. 

To Whom It May Concern:

Just recently we placed an order with your company and I am writing to let you know that we were extremely impressed with the quality of your memorabilia. Please keep us up to date with the arrival of any new products or any special pieces. Also, please include us in any of your future mailings. We look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Robyn Lebow

Dear Victor:

I want to than you for your donation towards the purchase of the Phil Hill helmet. In purchasing the helmet, I took it Phil Hill, and upon seeing it, a flood of memories from some of the highlights of his racing career swelled in his eyes. It was like a family member had returned home after a long absence. At that moment, I gave Phil back his helmet. I want to thank you again for helping me return a piece of sports memorabilia to its rightful owner.

Steve Dawson

Thank you for selling our entire collection.  Your customer service and attention exceeded our expectations. We really liked the personal service.  More than that we loved the prices.  Your #1 in the auction business.  Keep up the good work.

Dear Victor:

Just a note to thank you for cooperating with my assistant in obtaining the baseball that was stolen from my parent's apartment.

Avron

Dear Victor and Kieta:

Thank you for your hospitality this past weekend! Your place looked sharp. It was good food, good people and cool memorabilia made for a nice time. Enjoy the Bruce Lee video collection.

Best Regards,

Andy

Dear Victor, Kieta & AMI Family:

When I opened my new Spring Fever Auction catalog you have no idea how happy I was to see you were expanding from catalog to magazine. I have recieved your catalogs for some time now and I use them for reference. My wife tried to “throw out” what she called trash, reffering to past auction catalogs. Needless to say, I won out, as I told her “I don’t ask you to get rid of your House Beautiful Magazines.” Your magazine has made such a difference to my collection as it helps me gauge my prices for what I want to add. You do a GREAT JOB and are so helpful and knowledgable in areas of interest in my life. Thank you so much. AMI also means All Memorabilia Imaginable.

Thank You,

Andy Garretson

Bidder's Agreement

Read Carefully Prior to Bidding. Please scroll down and hit agree to continue bidding.

I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE AUCTION.
I HEREBY AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
I FURTHER AGREE TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND PAY FOR ALL PURCHASES CHARGED TO MY BIDDER NUMBER AND GRANT A SECURITY INTEREST TO THE SELLER IN ALL PROPERTY PURCHASED TO SECURE PAYMENT IN FULL.

Terms and Conditions

The property in today's sale will be offered for sale by American Memorabilia, Inc. ("AMI") on behalf of the owners of the property, referred to as the "seller," and will be governed by the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Agreement"). AMI is the agent of the seller.

1. Bidder's Registration
   All persons who wish to bid in the auction must register and obtain a unique bidder number. To register, Buyer must provide all of the registration information requested, sign the Agreement, and submit the form to AMI. Bidders must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid driver's license. AMI reserves the right to refuse to register or admit any person at its sole discretion. Buyer may register his or her auction account by phone, e-mail, or Internet. Internet registration is closed during the last two (2) days of an open auction. Buyer may, however, call AMI and attempt to register during this time. A credit card or credit reference is taken along with any other pertinent information for verification. Invoices and correspondence relating to purchases will be sent in according to the information on the bidder's registration.
2. Payment
   Payment in full (including the buyer's premium when applicable) must be paid by Buyer in the form of cash, checks, money order, and all major credit cards (if you have a question about whether a credit card is accepted please call AMI before the sale), prior to the removal/delivery of any property purchased. Money orders are preferred. Check can take up to fourteen (14) days to clear. AMI reserves the right to refuse credit card payments on any Lot. Buyer shall pay the purchase price, the buyer's premium, shipping and handling charges (if any), plus any and all applicable taxes, unless such taxes are exempted by law (proof of exemption must be provided). Payment is expected within seven (7) days after notification. Unclaimed Lots will be offered by AMI to the next highest bidder. Failure to fulfill Buyer's payment obligations will affect future bidding privileges.
3. Buyer's Premium
   A buyer's premium will be charged in this sale. The buyer's premium is an advertised percentage of the high bid or flat fee added to the high bid to determine the total contract price to be paid by Buyer. For each Lot won a twenty percent (20%) buyer's premium will be added to the amount of the high bid. For example, if the high bid is $100 and there is a twenty percent (20%) buyer's premium, the premium will be $20.00, for a total bid of $120.00. Also shipping, handling, and tax (for residents of the State of Nevada) will be added to the total purchase price. Shipping amount is based on the real-time Fed Ex Express Saver rate lookup based on total weight of the Lots won. AMI's handling fee is a flat rate of $10.00 per sale, invoice not per Lot. The buyer's premium does not create any agency relationship between Buyer and AMI. AMI is the agent of the seller only.
   
4. Time of the Auction
   An auction starts and will close on the dates specified on AMI's home page. However, AMI follows the 15-minute rule. This rule means that the auction can continue for verified bidders that have bid on any particular lot prior to the 8:00 p.m. close. The exact closing time in unknown, but determined by stopping the phone and Internet bids for 15 minutes. The auction has ended when AMI's recording and web site indicate that the "American Memorabilia Auction is closed."
5. Stop Payment/Insufficient Funds
   Upon making payment for a lot(s), no stop payment of funds will be honored. Any stop payment order of a check, or giving a check which is returned marked "insufficient funds," shall be deemed by the parties to be prima facie evidence of fraud existing at the time the transaction was consummated and shall be construed by the parties as intent to defraud.
6. Acceptance of Terms
   A bid placed by any person shall be conclusive proof that he or she acquainted himself or herself with the terms and conditions of sale and agreed to be bound by such terms and conditions prior to placing any bid.
7. Representations and Warranties
   All representations and/or warranties made, if any, are between Buyer and Seller. AMI shall not be held responsible for the correctness of any representations and/or warranties of any kind with respect to the property. AMI shall not be held responsible for any representations and/or genuineness of description of any property. Unless otherwise expressly noted by AMI, ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS," "WHERE IS," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" - THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ON THE LOT OR LOTS. Any and all warranties (unless expressly noted otherwise) are disclaimed and waived by Buyer.
8. Sales Final and Inspection of Lots
   Buyer acknowledges that he/she has been provided the opportunity to inspect the property before purchasing same and Buyer has/has not inspected the property at his or her sole discretion. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Buyer is solely responsible for determining the condition of any property. For detailed Lot descriptions, please call BEFORE that auction ends. For every bidder's convenience, all Lots can be shown by appointment.
9. Reserve Auctions
   Unless explicitly stated otherwise by AMI, each Lot is being sold with reserve as a reserve auction. These terms are applicable to all reserve auctions. AMI and seller reserve the right to withdraw any property before and during the sale of such property. The seller also reserves the right to reject any and all bids for any reason. The reserve price may not be disclosed. All bids are raised in ten percent (10%) increments and AMI, at its sole and complete discretion, may reject a nominal bid advance. AMI reserves the right to place a bid on any Lot on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, if any. AMI will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the seller.
10. Reserves
    All Lots are being sold with a "reserve," a price below which the Lot will not be sold. Any bid submitted below the reserve price will not result in the purchase of a Lot.
11. Bidder Authorization
    Bidder authorizes AMI to execute any memorandum of sale on behalf on and in the name of Bidder, or in AMI's own name, in connection with the purchase of any lot, in accordance with Bidder's bid.
12. Bidder Rights
    All rights granted herein are personal and exclusive to the registered Bidder, and may not be assigned or transferred to another person or entity, by operation of law or otherwise. Any attempt to assign or transfer any such rights shall be void and unenforceable. No third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred herein or granted to any Bidder. Thank you for submitting your bid. If you have any questions, please contact AMI immediately.
13. Disputes between Bidders
    In case of any dispute between bidders, AMI, at its sole and complete discretion, may reopen the bidding pursuant to specific terms determined by AMI between the two highest bidders only, until the property is sold. If a dispute arises after the sale of any lot, AMI's records shall be deemed conclusive in all respects.
14. Bidding
    It is the responsibility of the bidder to make sure that AMI is aware of his or her intent to place a bid. AMI accepts telephone (800-430-0667) and Internet (www.americanmemorabilia.com) bids. On the day of auction, callbacks can be easily arranged, but are provided as a "non-guaranteed service." Every effort is made to efficiently execute all callbacks. AMI disclaims any liability for damages, whether direct, indirect, consequential, or incidental, resulting from bids not spotted, executed, or accepted. Bidders should also be careful to bid on the correct lot and ensure that his/her bid is for the amount intended. AMI is not responsible for errors in bidding. Bids are raised in ten percent (10%) increments. Once Buyer submits a bid, it cannot be retracted or withdrawn. The sale is complete when the AMI so announces.
15. Acceptance of Bids
    AMI reserves the right to refuse to accept any or all bids (whatever the method) by Buyer. In addition, AMI may disqualify any bidder believed to be acting in a fraudulent, illegitimate, not in good faith, manner. AMI may also disqualify any bids made by someone who is not competent, or made in violation of this Agreement or any applicable law.

    (B) Buyer must register and obtain a bid number to participate in the auction.

    (C) Buyer will be e-mailed final registration approval upon successful completion of the registration process. Registration for Internet bidding closes forty-eight (48) hours prior to the auction. Buyer should register as early as possible to obtain information about the properties and increase the likelihood of being notified of any pertinent changes that take place prior to the auction.
    
    (D) The website is administered by AMI from its offices in the United States of America. Individuals must reside within the United States of America to register to bid online. AMI will not accept bids from individuals who reside outside of the United States of America and its territories.

    (E) The bid number, authorization, and login information given to Buyer upon successful registering to bid shall only be used by Buyer during the auction to bid on the properties.

    (F) AMI reserves the right to deny any person for any reason permission or access to bid online.
17. Notification
    The successful bidders will be notified by phone and/or e-mail within two to four business days after the auction close.
18. Limitation of Liability
    Neither AMI nor seller shall be liable for any damage and/or injury to any property and/or person at and/or upon the sale premises. Each person entering upon the sale premises assumes any and all risks whatsoever for his or her safety (and for any minors with him or her). AMI IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOST, STOLEN, OR DAMAGED PROPERTY.
19. Breach of Contract
    If this Agreement, or any terms and conditions announced by AMI, are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to the seller by law, including without limitation, the right to hold the Buyer liable for the bid price, AMI and seller may: (1) publicly or privately resell the property, with the non-complying Buyer being held liable for the payment of any deficiency purchase price, plus all costs incurred; and/or (2) cancel the sale and retain as liquidated damages all payments made by the non-complying Buyer. AMI's commissions, all incidental damages, expenses, court costs, costs of collection and/or attorneys' fees will be charged to and be the responsibility of the non-complying Buyer.
20. Memorandum of Sale
    Buyer authorizes AMI to execute any memorandum of sale on behalf of and in the name of Buyer, or in AMI's own name, in connection with the purchase of any lot, in accordance with his or her bid.
21. AMI Liability
    AMI acts solely as an agent for seller and is not a party to any contract for the sale of any property offered by the seller for sale and/or sold at this auction. IN NO EVENT SHALL AMI BE LIABLE TO BUYER FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AUCTION OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH THEREOF. AMI'S LIABILITY TO A BIDDER SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE TOTAL OF THE PURCHASE PRICE, BUYER'S PREMIUM, AND TAXES PAID BY BIDDER TO AMI, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER BUYER'S CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE.
22. Sale by Lots
    All sales are to be per lot, unless otherwise mentioned by the AMI. AMI reserves the right to include in the auction any Lot and the right to withdrawal any Lot prior to calling for bids at the beginning of the auction. AMI may combine, subdivide, regroup or reorganize any Lots.
23. Authentication
    AMI has a third-party authenticator examine all Lots, except as noted below, in the auction. Buyer should not bid on a Lot if he or she is uncomfortable with the authenticator. For cards and autographs appearing in the catalog which are not professionally graded, we strive to accurately assess quality. However, AMI does not guarantee their opinion and Buyer assumes the risk. AMI is not responsible if a professional evaluation disagrees with AMI's opinion.
24. Recording Devices
    No photographs, tape recordings and/or video recordings of any type are permitted without the express written prior approval of AMI.
25. Severability
    If any provision of this Agreement is declared or determined to be null, void, inoperative, illegal or invalid for any reason, the validity of the remaining parts, terms or provisions will not be affected thereby and they will retain their full force and effect, and said null, void, inoperative, illegal or invalid part, term or provision will not be deemed to be part of this Agreement.

The parties agree that this Agreement reflects the terms as agreed to by the parties hereto. In the event a term or terms is considered ambiguous, neither party hereto, nor their respective counsel, will be considered the draftsperson of this agreement for the purpose of causing the terms of this Agreement to be construed against a party hereto.
