Page:2 www.abacusauctions.com.au 19 & 20 February 2021 Abacus Auctions - Terms of Sale 1. ABACUS: Abacus Auctions Pty Ltd, a company incorporated in the State of Victoria, is the Auctioneer. Abacus is a member of the Australasian Philatelic Traders Association (APTA) and the Australasian Numismatic Dealers Association (ANDA). 2. DESCRIPTIONS: Abacus endeavours to describe lots fully and accurately. The Description of a lot comprises the Symbols and Grading System (as set out on the opposite page), the written description, any illustration of the lot or part of the lot, and any amendments thereto published in Saleroom Notices and/or on the Abacus website. 3. ESTIMATES & RESERVES: The Estimate is in Australian Dollars. The Reserve is set at 75% of the Estimate (rounded to the nearest bidding step) unless otherwise indicated in the Description. Bids below the Reserve will not be accepted. Where “Offer” appears instead of an Estimate, there is no Reserve and the lot will open at the Auctioneer’s discretion. 4. HAMMER PRICES: The Hammer Price is the price at which a lot is sold to the Buyer. In the absence of any other bids, the Hammer Price will be the Reserve. In the event of competing bids, the Hammer Price will be one Bid Step over the second-highest bid received before the lot is sold. Lots marked “T” attract GST on the Hammer Price when sold to Australian-resident Buyers only. 5. BIDDING: A bid is a binding offer to purchase a lot and once placed cannot be retracted nor reduced by the bidder. Bids may be placed by mail, phone, email or third-party auction portal in advance of the auction up until such time as notified or through the Abacus website either in advance of or during the auction (together the Absentee Bids), or in person, by phone bidding (by prior arrangement upon at least 48 hours’ notice; see website for special conditions) or through an Agent during the auction (together the Room Bids). All Agents must advise Abacus of the person(s) for whom bids are being placed or else the Agent will be personally liable as the Buyer. Abacus has absolute discretion to refuse to accept Bids for any reason whatsoever. 6. BID STEPS: Abacus uses the following Bid Steps: Up to $50 $2 $500 - $750 $25 $5000 - $10000 $250 $50 - $150 $5 $750 - $1500 $50 $10000 - $15000 $500 $150 - $300 $10 $1500 - $3000 $100 $15000 - $30000 $1000 $300 - $500 $20 $3000 - $5000 $200 over $30000 5% approx. Abacus reserves the right to raise or lower non-conforming Absentee Bids depending on the bidder’s apparent intention. 7. BUYER: The Buyer is the person to whom a lot is sold by Abacus, either as the highest bidder at auction or the earlier bidder in the case of tied bids, or upon acceptance of a post-auction offer, or by any other means. In the event of a dispute, Abacus shall have absolute discretion in deciding who is the Buyer. Legal title to a lot does not pass to the Buyer until full Payment is received. 8. BUYER’S PREMIUM: Abacus charges a Buyer’s Premium of 19.8% which is added to the Hammer Price of each lot sold. 9. PAYMENT: Payment of the Hammer Price, the Buyer’s Premium, any applicable GST, shipping & insurance charges (together the Invoice Total) for all lots sold to the Buyer are due and payable to Abacus immediately upon sale (Room Bids) or upon receipt of invoice (Absentee Bids). Payment must be made in Australian Dollars unless otherwise agreed by Abacus. If the Buyer does not make Payment of the Invoice Total in full within 30 days from the due date of the invoice, Abacus may at its absolute discretion exercise the following rights (or any one or more of them) to - 1) add an accounting fee of $10 plus 2% interest per month (or part thereof) to the Invoice Total; 2) apply any monies due at any time from Abacus to the Buyer in Payment of all or part of the Invoice Total; 3) terminate the sale, retain any monies paid, re-offer the lot(s), and recover any shortfall plus costs from the Buyer; or 4) take legal action against the Buyer for breach of contact. 10. RETURN OF LOTS: Except in the case of an “Extension” and subject to the further restrictions below, a lot may be returned only if there is a material error in the Description and the Buyer has informed Abacus of their intention to return the lot within 30 days after the auction (regardless of whether or not the Buyer has taken possession of the lot by this time). Further, a lot may not be returned – 1) unless the lot and all items within it are in the same condition as sold, and have not been immersed in water or other fluid, nor treated by any process, nor marked in any way by any expertising body or others; 2) if the lot has been inspected by the Buyer or by the Buyer's Agent; 2) if the lot is illustrated in the catalogue or on the website, or an illustration has been supplied to the Buyer or to the Buyer’s Agent, and the reason relied on for return is apparent from the illustration; or 3) if the lot is offered “as is” or expressed to be a "range", "group", "selection", "array", "collection", "accumulation", or similar wording, or contains more than 10 items (except a set of stamps). 11. CERTIFICATES OF AUTHENTICITY & EXTENSIONS: The Buyer may request that the sale of a lot be made conditional upon the receipt of a satisfactory Certificate of Authenticity with the sale to be on “Extension”. Such a request must be made in writing prior to the sale of the lot, and Abacus shall have absolute discretion whether to grant the request and to which expert or expert committee it shall submit the lot for a Certificate. An Extension request will generally not be granted if the lot is offered with a recent Certificate or if the lot is of a type for which experts do not provide Certificates. Where an Extension request is granted, the Buyer must make full Payment for the lot and bear all costs of obtaining the Certificate. If the Certificate is unsatisfactory, the Buyer is entitled to Return the lot for a full refund including Certificate costs. A Certificate shall be considered unsatisfactory only if it states that a lot is materially different from its Description. Where a lot is described as defective or not genuine in any respect, a Certificate is not unsatisfactory merely because it mentions any further shortcomings not listed in the Description. Where the expert or expert committee is unable to render an opinion, this does not constitute an unsatisfactory Certificate. 12. GOVERNING LAW: The Terms of Sale shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Victoria. 13. ACCEPTANCE: Placing a Bid by any method constitutes acknowledgment and acceptance of these Terms of Sale. Auction 4 Page:3

Guide to Descriptions, Symbols & Grading At Abacus Auctions we utilise much the same symbols as other firms, but with some additional enhancements. It is important that you understand our Symbols and Grading System because these - along with the illustration - form part of the description. We provide this additional information so that you will always be satisfied with the quality of the material you purchase from us. 1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it is in bold and printed in red, the item is illustrated: e.g. 1234. 2. The second column contains a Symbol which describes the item(s) contained in the lot: ** Mint (unmounted with original gum) A Albums and Accessories * Mint (mounted with original gum) B Booklets Ω Unused (without gum; or regummed) C Cover or Card (regular size) Δ Piece CL Cover (long) O Used (quality unspecified) CX Cover (oversize) V Neat Postmark (most of stamp design clear) E Essay F Neat Postmark (across at least half of design) L Literature G Untidy or Indistinct Postmark P Proof H Heavy or Poorly-Struck Postmark PS Postal Stationery S Stamp (used in ‘Postmarks’ lots) R Reprint 3. The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from ‘A’ to ‘D’. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, to covers, postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded ‘A’ is very fine; it has no faults. ‘B’ items are fine with minor imperfections. A ‘C’ item will exhibit obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated ‘D’. Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated ‘A+’. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which one would normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition. An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an ‘A-’. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge remainder on the reverse. A cover may have a receiver’s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together. A book may have a previous owner’s notations. Whether this factor makes the item an ‘A-’ or ‘B’ is a matter of degree. NB: An expertiser’s signature or handstamp on a cover or the reverse of a stamp will not normally be cause for downgrading the quality of an item: such marks will be mentioned and you should make your decision as to whether or not such an item is of the standard that you personally require. Occasionally, the symbol ‘A’ to ‘C’ will appear in brackets: eg (B). This signifies that the item has been renovated or repaired and improved to the grade indicated by the letter. The brackets indicate a qualified grading, the cause for which will be mentioned in the description. 4. The fourth column is used for perforated stamps, and also for lots listed under the sub-heading ‘Postmarks’. For perforated stamps this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ relates to centring. ‘A’ stamps are very well centred; ‘B’ stamps are slightly off-centre; ‘C’ stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the design; ‘D’ stamps are badly off-centre, with the perforations well into the design. [NB: These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19th Century American issues. However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus ‘C’, and even ‘D’, gradings should be expected and accepted. For such issues a ‘B’ stamp will be above-average and an ‘A’ stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.] Following the letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ is a number ‘1’ to ‘4’. A stamp with all perforations intact is ‘1’. One or two short perfs, or normal rough perforations, will drop the grading to ‘2’. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a ‘3’ grading. A stamp with major perforation faults will be a ‘4’. [NB: A stamp graded ‘A1’ is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm. However, for many issues, ‘B2’ or even ‘C3’ may be normal and quite acceptable.] For lots listed under the sub-headings “Postmarks” and “Ship/Paquebot Markings” or similar, this column gives a grading for quality of the strike of the marking itself, and completeness. Quality is graded from ‘A’ (very fine) to ‘D’ (poor). Completeness is graded from ‘1’ (complete) to ‘5’ (identifiable only). ‘+’ is used for superb strikes; ‘-’ is used for postmarks that are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise a bit short of the mark. 5. The Estimate in the right-hand column is our estimate of value in Australian Dollars for each lot. You may bid at, above or below the Estimate. The reserve price is set at 75% of estimate (rounded to the nearest bidding step) for almost every lot, and bids below this will not be accepted. If a lot attracts GST for Australian buyers, the estimate is printed in blue followed by a small “T”. 6.
