The $150 you posted it on ebay for, is way too much. Your most valuable playbills are missing the cover. You would probably get like $50 for this on ebay.

Thanks for your help. I have a friend who is going off to become a nun, and she is giving me all of her family's playbills to sell. I originally thought all of these were from broadway, but I found tonight that most were the touring companies. And theaterfan? Was it $350, or $3.50? lol

I don't know if I would even pay $50 for the collection. Most of these playbills are from ASU Gammage. Do they even use the traditional playbill? Even so, it'd be more valuable to me to have the one directly from Broadway.

Out of the few Broadway playbills you have, the most valuable ones don't even have covers. Most of the remaining ones you can probably find on eBay and aren't that rare.

I don't have an issue with you profiting off of playbills you received at no cost, but think the $150 you are asking for is a bit selfish, especially since you got them from free.

Im selling them FOR her. Giving her the money. I just wanted to start the auction at a high price until I found out what someone would pay. Thanks. Ill be sure to tell her that these are not worth as much as she thought. :)

Wait, would you sell the separately or are you looking to sell the whole as a collection?

I'd be interested in a few, but not the whole collection. PM me if you'd be willing to sell some seperately.
