Other references may be used, but be sure to include the reference used in the description of your auction lot along with page, row,
and item number or position of item.

 Photos may be submitted but are not mandatory.  Photographs or digital photos (jpg format) are acceptable.  The auction chairs reserve
the right of photo choice to be used in the auction catalog.

 RETURNS:  If a successful bidder determines that an item is damaged or repaired and this was not announced prior to the auction, it may be
returned for resale in the auction if brought to the attention of the auctioneer before five more items are sold.  If an item is found to be damaged
or repaired after the auction has ended, the buyer should contact the owner of that item to resolve the matter.

 Members submitting lots that are not in the condition stated (Example: Listing an item as MINT when it is damaged or repaired) will not be allowed
to put items in the next year's NDPCS auction. All lots are subject to the inspection methods used by the auction committee.
