RR Auction's annual Remarkable Rarities event brings one hundred extraordinary autographs and artifacts to auction. The auction embodies the whole of modern human history: from the founding of the United States through the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement; from the scientific breakthroughs of Enlightenment to the age of the atomic bomb; and from the Apollo moon landings to the Apple iPhone. Highlights include rare printings of Alexander Hamilton's Federalist Papers and Thomas Jefferson's Notes on the State of Virginia; a first edition of the Lincoln-Douglas Debates signed by Abraham Lincoln; custom-engraved revolvers presented to J. Edgar Hoover; rare Albert Einstein autographs; and Apollo 17 moonwalker Gene Cernan's flown EVA cuff checklist.
