Check out some of the most interesting posts we found for the DuPage County area this week.
Marshmallow Gun
1991 Bulls Banner
Whether you want to memorialize one of the greatest Bulls seasons of all time (first-ever championship!) or just flash back to a guy named Richard M. Daley being Chicago's mayor, this authentic fan banner from Chicago's city hall circa 1991 is a highly unique piece of sports memorabilia, going for $423 (yes, for some reason, $423) out of Glen Ellyn.
The 'Musik' of Mortal Kombat
The Mortal Kombat video game series is known for two things: gratuitous violence, and swapping K's for hard C's. So we assume this CD of "musik" from the third and fourth games is by talented klassikal komposers and konducters in koncert with khords, khoruses and kadences. It's apparently rare enough to go for a whopping $150 from Lemont.
28-Volume Time-Life Art Library
Straight from the 1970's a Villa Park seller is offering this treasure trove of art-history culture in 28 volumes, each focusing on a different artist. Everyone from da Vinci and Rembrant through Matisse and Marcel Duchamp gets a book, plus an American art 1900-1970 retrospective and something called "Seven Centuries of Art." It's $1,000 and in mint condition.

Bull by the Horns
"Always a good discussion topic with guests," this Hinsdale seller says about their pair of bull horns and gold base, going for $150. I feel like I would just spend all day trying to goad someone into telling me to take the bull by the horns, so I could go grab them. I would get really, really annoying.
Antique Camera
And speaking of the 1970s, how about this old-timey camera from 1976? There's all sorts of photo-jargon on the page, but apparently it's in good working shape except for a couple "pinholes" in the corners of the bellows. Comes with a variety of accessories. It's $2,300 out of Elmhurst.
