Potter & Potter Auctions, Inc. specializes in the sale of rare and collectible books, paper Americana, circus- and gambling-themed collectibles, playing cards, as well as magicana - antiques and collectibles related to magic tricks and magicians. In the latter category, Potter & Potter has established itself as a market leader, consistently setting record prices for rare and unusual apparatus, posters, autographs, ephemera, Houdiniana, and photographs. The company conducts regular auctions in its Chicago gallery on the city's north side, and publishes meticulously researched, lavishly illustrated catalogs to accompany its sales, many of which have become essential reference tools in serious collectors' libraries. In addition to live bidding on auction day, Potter & Potter accepts phone and absentee bids, agent bids and online bidding through LiveAuctioneers.

Great items, great experience.Everything went smooth. Love the items. I live locally, so did a pick up (on a snowy day, I give the weather one star, but that's not Potter & Potter's fault!). They always have such fascinating items in their auctions, but I normally loose out-not this time. Thanks!
