SILENT BIDDING
SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE FOR SILENT BID RULES AND REGULATIONS
We will also be taking silent bids for those who are unable to attend. All bids must be in at least $10 increments in whole dollars from the next higher bid. Please be advised that these bids are your actual bids and not your “MAX BIDS.” So if you bid $3000 for a lot, your bid is $3000 and not something we bid up to for you. These silent bids are where we start the live auction for that lot. If no other bid is higher, then the silent bidder wins that lot. For more information, please see the bottom of the page.
To register for silent bidding use the following form:
2025 WINDY CITY PULP AND PAPER CONVENTION
ESTATE AUCTIONS – 2 SESSIONS
1st SESSION – FRIDAY NIGHT – APRIL 4
2ND SESSION – SATURDAY NIGHT – APRIL 5
* * * * *
This year we will have two sessions of material.
Roughly 50% of the material in the Friday night session comes from the estate of Robert Weinberg. Author, editor, publisher and book dealer, Bob built up one of the finest collections of pulp, science fiction and fantasy books, magazines, original art and related ephemera in the world. This is the sixth of several auctions from the Weinberg estate that will be held at Windy City. Roughly 50% of the material in the Friday night session features material from the estate of Lou Irmo. Lou was well known to Windy City regulars, as well as attendees of The World Fantasy Convention, as a collector of pulps, books and illustration art. In addition to being an avid fan of fantasy, Lou was also a devotee of mystery fiction.
Roughly 60% of the material in the Saturday night auction comes from the estate of Al Bielski. Al was a regular attendee at Windy City, setting up as a dealer most years, and collected pulps across many genres, as well as being an avid collector of vintage movies (on film) and movie memorabilia. The remainder of the Saturday night session contains material from other consignors.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This catalog is broken into two sections. The first details the material for the Friday session. The second section lists the material from the Saturday session.
Each night’s session will start at approximately 8:15 p.m.
The convention has not graded these items (although we have tried to note missing covers [nfc = no front cover & nbc = no back cover]) and encourages all bidders to review their condition before placing bids, as ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
There will be a buyer’s premium of 10% added to the amount of each winning bid for items in this catalog. We can take payment by cash, check, credit card or paypal, but credit card and paypal will have a 5% surcharge. Some lots may have reserves. We reserve the right to withdraw any lot from sale at any time prior to its being auctioned. Additional auction rules are available separately.

END OF FRIDAY SESSION
If you cannot make it to the convention, you may place a silent bid prior to 6 pm the day of the auction. Using one of the contact forms seen above, place your bid. The bid you place will be the silent bid registered. This means whatever bid you place will be the bid we take. THIS IS NOT A MAX BID, therefore if you place a bid for $1000 that will be the bid we accept. At the live auction, we will have silent bid forms on each lot. The silent bids either done in person, or through the contact form will be written down. So that silent bid price will be the starting point for that lot. If no one is willing to top the highest silent bid, the lot will close and the silent bidder will be declared the winner. Please be advised there will be a 10% buyers premium on every lot, so a winning bid of a $100 will have a $10 buyers premium added. If you plan on paying by credit card, we will also add a 5% CC fee. Shipping is NOT included in any auction gavel price. Any silent bid must be in whole dollar amounts with a $10 minimum raise.
