Open bidding

Opening bid

Name the most you'd pay. We bid for you, just enough to stay in front, like eBay. Nobody sees your max, not even Captain Nemo.

How the bidding works (the short version of the Articles)
  • The first bid starts a 7-day clock. When it hits zero, the top bidder wins.
  • Enter your max. The price only climbs as far as needed to keep you in front, so you may win for less.
  • Each bid has to beat the price by a small step. Ties go to whoever bid first.
  • Some pieces carry a reserve, a minimum price kept secret. If bidding ends below it, the piece doesn't sell. The box tells you if it's met.
  • A bid in the last 5 minutes resets the clock to 5 minutes. No sniping.
  • Win, and we email a pay link. You have 3 days to pay. Pickup is at the South Loop dock.
  • A bid is a promise to buy. Please bid only if you mean it.

What's it worth?

Taking a squint at it...

An estimate from the photos and description, not an appraisal and not a reserve. Bid what it is worth to you; the sea sets no prices and neither do we.

Description

A postcard of the “Chicago Art Institute, Michigan Boulevard, Chicago, Ill.”: the museum behind its plaza, with green buses, rounded cars and pedestrians on the avenue.

This is a 1993 reproduction from “Route 66 Postcards” by Michael and Suzanne Wallis (St. Martin’s Press), from the Wallis Collection, originally published by Colourpicture. A printed caption strip at the top of the back reads “Route 66 Begins (or Ends) in Downtown Chicago, Not Far from the Famed Art Institute.” Unused, with pencil notes and a little surface loss near the strip. Close-ups show the buses and the cars.
