- RR Auction's Spring 2026 Remarkable Rarities sale, closing March 26th, is one of the most sweeping offerings in the company's 50-year history. The sale spans the full arc of civilization, from a 1510 King Henry VIII vellum warrant and a Queen Elizabeth I letter excusing the Archbishop of York from Parliament, to a Peter Stuyvesant land grant signed four months before he surrendered New Amsterdam to the English, and a William Penn indenture conveying 5,000 acres to one of Pennsylvania's original "First Purchasers." American history runs deep, with a dual-signed Jefferson and Madison appointment document, a JFK autograph letter sent to his Swedish mistress, and Lee Harvey Oswald's signed Marine Corps enlistment application. The science and classical music categories are exceptional, led by the only Mozart "Bäsle" letter available at public sale, alongside an Einstein ALS featuring hand-drawn experimental sketches, a signed Freud first edition of The Interpretation of Dreams, and letters by Marie Curie, Nikola Tesla, Darwin, Chopin, and Brahms. Music and entertainment highlights include the only known post-breakup fully signed Beatles photograph, a complete signed 1968 Doors concert program, a Led Zeppelin II Japanese pressing signed by all four members in Tokyo, and original Jerry Garcia handwritten lyrics. The art offerings are equally remarkable, featuring a rare Banksy "Yellow Rain" Nola screenprint numbered 4/31, Robert Crumb's original published artwork for CoEvolution Quarterly, a museum-worthy 1939 Disney Pinocchio Director's Continuity Sketch Book with 47 original storyboard drawings, and sweeping panoramic concept paintings by Disney legends Mary Blair and Eyvind Earle. Offered in conjunction with RR Auction's 50th anniversary milestone, this sale presents an unparalleled collecting opportunity across every major category.
