Remarkable Rarities
Once a year, RR Auction gathers together the best of the best – items so superlative, so historic, so unique, they belong in a class by themselves. We call this our Remarkable Rarities auction. The 2018 Remarkable Rarities collection features autographs and artifacts relating to the greatest minds of history – the founders who created a new nation of United States; the presidents who lead that country for more than two centuries; scientists, inventors and technology visionaries who explained our existing universe and then expanded it; artists and musicians who left indelible marks on their craft. Each museum-quality piece deserves special recognition, but here are some highlighted items being offered: Lot 3027: Significant find – An original Apple I Computer (see our feature section, pg. 42) More exciting offerings relating to Apple and Steve Jobs – autographs, a signed Macintosh Plus, several items from Apple’s pivotal 1982 year: Lots 3028, 3029, 3030, 3031, 3032, 3033.
