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.

5 Stars, without hesitationShipping was prompt and packaging was done with obvious care. I had an issue with one item within the Lot I won and Brian, in customer service, took care of it promptly and professionally. I will definitely be looking to participate in future Potter & Potter auctions and can't recommend them highly enough. Simply professional, all the way!

Excellent Service from Potter & PotterI was pleased to find a vintage poster I had been looking for at Potter & Potter. To feel comfortable making my bid, I needed more detailed information and images than had been originally posted. I sent an email requesting the additional info and received a reply very quickly. Having been the successful bidder, I contacted Potter & Potter by phone to settle my account and make arrangements for shipping. They were incredibly responsive to my requests and were provided excellent follow-up.
