$100 must've been the lowered price, because they were asking $120 first thing in the morning...

-But the biggest pick-up and biggest mission to get home was a neon letter "N" that was used on the Broadway Marquee for "Finian's Rainbow"
Holy **** they finally sold one of them, they been trying to get rid of those letters for FIVE years lol

Oh wow, $100 was what they said around 11 or 12 when I asked.
I watched Stephanie Klemons sell one of Lin's mixes for $575.
NJ_BroadwayGirl, the Wicked table is always really well run, I agree. They have good unique items and usually will lower prices at the end of the day.

This was my second flea market, the first being the year it rained and everything was moved inside. I found a few things I was looking for, and a bunch of things I wasn't!
Cast Recordings:
T-Shirts:
Mugs/Pins:
Books/Scripts:
Random Stuff:
Windowcards (All unsigned):
Total Spent: $93 out of a firm budget of $100.
Does anyone want the 'night, Mother windowcard? I bought it for a friend who doesn't. It's in perfect condition and attractive.
This is one of my favorite threads every year, and I'm so happy I get to post in it this time! Thanks so much, all, for sharing your great finds.

@vintagesnarker: Yes, all the window cards were free around 5.30pm. They let you take as many as you liked, but I only took 2 of each. If you want my spare Wolf Hall window card let me know and we can meet up.
@luminousbeing: Cookin' is a Korean version of Stomp, but more of a comedic, percussive show and they use food and knives/other cooking utensils to make the rhythms! There's also a cute storyline and it's quite entertaining.
Among other things, I was so excited to find a Bring Back Birdie playbill for $2. I'm so close to finishing my collection of every Playbill featured in "Monkeys and Playbills."
If anyone has a Censored Scenes from King Kong playbill they are looking to sell, hit me up!

If anyone has a spare poster (or anything) from the Bridges of Madison County, I'd love to take it off your hands :)

#LifeGoals!!! I can't believe you only have one left! I sadly don't have Censored Scenes from King Kong, but someone on ebay does!
If I was that close I could drop the $16 and finish the collection!

Sadly, Censored... isn't the very last one I need, just the one that is probably the easiest to find. I still need 6 more. A Playbill for a show like Hit the Trail is hard to find because a) it opened in the 50's and b) it was a flop so there weren't that many printed.
It's funny both of the letters are sold. I bought the last one. I can't see how nobody snatched them up in the previous flea markets since they were cheap for what they were. How much were they in the years prior?

I think they wanted $150 for them. I almost pulled the trigger on one last year, but I passed because nobody could tell me if they actually still lit up or not.
Oh ok cause I got it for $150 I plan on sending it to a neon sign shop to repair and adapt the wires to be plugged into an outlet. Regardless if it lit up or not, it was a work that still needed to be done, cause home electricity can't handle the power required to light these letters after a couple of hours this would have blown a breaker. Besides, since I saw the entire light up 42nd street sign on sale in ebay i wanted to get something similar and what better show than Finian's Rainbow. I would have killed to have gotten the purple N that belonged to the word "Rainbow" since purple is my favorite color.
All in all, I was happy with my finds.
