Item Overview

Description

On June 28, 1972, South Vietnamese planes dropped a napalm bomb on the village of Trang Bang, which had been attacked and occupied by North Vietnamese forces. Nine-year-old resident Kim Phuc joined a group of civilians and South Vietnamese soldiers who were fleeing from the Caodai Temple to the safety of South Vietnamese-held positions. A South Vietnamese Air Force pilot mistook the group for enemy soldiers and diverted to attack. Kim Phuc was badly burned and tore off her burning clothes when Associated Press photographer Nick Ut snapped a photo. His photograph of Kim Phuc running naked amid other fleeing villagers, South Vietnamese soldiers, and press photographers became one of the most haunting images of the Vietnam War. Offered here is that iconic photo, signed by both photographer Nick Ut and "Napalm Girl" Kim Phuc in black felt tip marker. In fine condition and accompanied by a COA from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).

Terms & Conditions of the Auction

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING AUTHENTICITY

Iconic Memorabilia LLC takes active measures to determine authenticity and bring our bidding clientele security and comfort when bidding on autographed memorablilia. Every autographed lot in this sale is either:

1.)Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from an industry recognized third-party authentication service

or

2.) Has been examined by a third-party authenticator and is guaranteed to pass a full authentication review.

In cases where an item comes with certification from a company that conducts private signings or deals directly with a athlete/celebrity, the said company's COA will be deemed as sufficient provenance. These companies are well known within the industry and include Steiner Sports, Tri-Star, Mounted Memories and Upper Deck Authenticated.

GRADING AND AUTHENTICATION: Bidder acknowledges as follows: Grading and authentication is an art and not a science. The grade or condition or estimated value herein represents the opinion of the Auctioneer and/or its Consignors. It is possible that two people do not always grade or evaluate the same item alike. Every effort is made by the Auctioneer to determine provenance and authenticity. Auctioneer is not bound by the differing opinion of grading services, outside authenticators, or so-called "experts". LOTS MAY NOT BE RETURNED BASED UPON A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION IN GRADING OR AUTHENTICATION. It is ultimately the Bidder's responsibility to arrive at a final conclusion PRIOR to bidding. Please do not bid on a lot if you are not comfortable with the stated authentication(s) that accompany a lot. Inquiries concerning condition are strongly advised. Internet and/or catalog pictures should NOT be used to determine condition or grade as in some instances pictures have been cropped or enlarged in order to provide the best possible representation of an item within the scale restrictions of the medium. Prospective bidders are welcomed to call our offices at 1-800-325-7127 for detailed condition reports.

PAYMENT: Payment is due within 10 days after receiving notification. Notification of winning bids will be made by phone, e-mail and/or standard mail delivery within approximately 72 hours of the auction's closing. Arizona residents will be expected to pay 7.95% state sales tax. Failure to pay in a timely manner will result in the suspension of auction privileges. Our preferred methods of payment are personal checks, money orders, cash and wire transfers. Personal checks will be held until the check clears unless Bidder has established prior credit terms. Auctioneer also accepts payments in the form of major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express). Credit card payments will be accepted at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer. NOTE: WE DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL.

RETURNS: Auction is not an approval sale. Lots that are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from a third-party authenticator are not eligible for return. On lots not accompanied by third party authentication or under very limited circumstances not including authenticity (such as gross cataloging error), Buyer may request a review of purchase and voiding of sale. Buyer must notify Auctioneer of this request within three (3) days of receipt of item by providing a detailed written explanation of the alleged gross error. If it is deemed that gross error may have occurred, it is Buyer's responsibility to return the lot in question within seven (7) days of notice for evaluation. Absolutely no exceptions will be made regarding this policy.
