Some stuff from an auction has just arrived and attached to the label is a message which the auction house has left on  by mistake

Perhaps someone would kind enough to work out what it means and should I worrying

This is what is says       maybe double box (1) gallery

then                             catalogue notify (I can work that one out)

and then underneath the intials RDA 

any clues?

The pictures are all modern photocopies with the sigs on top

I hope I am worrying unduely as I was the only bidder on this lot

thanks for any help in this matter

I personally wish I could be of help, Michelle, but so far, I've never bought from an auction house. Which one is it? Maybe someone on here has some particular knowledge of that house. I know if you've ever been burned before, like I have, you worry a little. But it's likely okay if from a pretty reputable place. I wouldn't worry about being the only bidder. I've gotten some great authentic stuff before being the only bidder (on the Bay). And I've seen great stuff at auction houses go un-bid on many times.

I hope so ; - it is from our friendly American  auction house in Hampshire but the term double box can mean a graphic term from what I could make out when I googled it and one of the photos does look as if it composite. I don't know what RDA stands for. I hope it doesn't stand for Real Doubt About!!!!

Are you sure this is not just notes on the packaging or shipping? It probably has nothing to do with the items.

Hopefully you are right; - its  the  medium sized sticker that goes onto the transparent folder that the item fits into.  Normally the sticker just gives the name of the auction house, date of auction etc and usually nothing else of any substance or interest; - but all of these extra terms    especially  the word  'maybe'   and  'catalogue notify' panicked me.
