Autograph:

An autograph refers to a handwritten document signed by its author or simply the handwritten signature itself. The term autograph in contemporary terminology most often refers to any item with a handwritten signature which has important historical, cultural, or social significance. Such items range from handwritten or typed documents and letters to boxing gloves or record sleeves, all bearing a handwritten signature from an individual significantly related to the item.

Signed:

Documents, letters, photographs, or objects that may not be inherently significant gain a greater importance when they are signed by a famous individual. The handwritten signature lends a personal mark signifying that the object was physically present in a famous life or event, creating a piece of history

Collectible:

Collectibles span a wide variety of objects that individuals choose to accumulate for their historical, social, cultural, personal, or monetary significance. Any items can be considered collectible, however some items are collected by a greater number of individuals. Philography is the term used to refer to the hobby of collecting autographs or autographed items.

Historical:

An event, person, or item is given the term historical in reference to the past. Most often something is termed historical if it relates to an event deemed important in the aggregate of human experience. Historical events span all disciplines ranging from science and technology to entertainment. Autographs bear particular historical importance because they are a form of documentation by someone who was present at a specific moment or period of time that is seen as significant. Historic figures include politicians, military leaders, actors, royalty, musicians, authors, artists, and criminals.

RR Auction Company History:

R&R Enterprises issued its first catalog in the Fall of 1980. The first catalog was produced on a typewriter, was only eight pages long, had three illustrations, and featured a few hundred items.

When, in 1995, R&R changed from sales to Auctions, the catalog grew 300% in size and the mailing list doubled.

We now have a staff of over 20, with 12 full time employees who do the purchasing, consignments, authentication, description writing, catalog layout, advertising, computer programming, and web design all in-house, except printing the catalog.
