Absentee bids let you place your maximum bid on an item before the live auction begins. During the live show, we’ll continue bidding on your behalf up to your max bid — just like leaving a bid with a traditional auctioneer.
When you place an absentee bid, the system sets the current bid conservatively — just enough to keep you in the lead without revealing your full amount.
The current bid shown on each lot reflects all confirmed absentee bids and updates automatically as new bids come in.
When the live auction starts, bidding will begin at the current bid. The auctioneer will continue bidding on behalf of absentee bidders up to their max bids.
Because absentee bids can arrive seconds apart, the current bid you see may not always include bids still being processed. Refresh the page for the most up-to-date information.

Lot 206 - Antique Framed Portrait Print Of President Theodore Roosevelt, Compliments Of The St. Johnsbury Republican, 10-5/8" x 15-1/8"
An antique printed portrait of President Theodore Roosevelt, shown standing in a three-quarter pose wearing a dark suit, light waistcoat, necktie, and pince-nez glasses. The word "President" is printed across the top, and the lower margin reads "Compliments of the St. Johnsbury Republican," a newspaper from St. Johnsbury, Vermont. The print is housed in a black-painted wooden frame with a gilt inner border, under glass. The print exhibits overall darkening and toning, with a prominent horizontal fold line across the center and scattered surface wear. The frame shows paint losses at the edges and corners, and the paper backing on the reverse shows staining and minor losses.
