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.

Above and Beyond Customer Service
I had recently won a few auction items from Potter and Potter and had a couple logistical questions about packing and shipping etc etc. While my purchase was only a few hundred dollars, the team handle my questions as if I was their most important customer. I couldn't be happier with the interaction. I also must say that the books came wrapped very well and the descriptions of the book's conditions were spot on. I was very pleased and look forward to buying from them again! Thank you!
