BC/EFA Broadway Flea Market and Grand Auction 2014

My dream (as always) is that Angela Lansbury will do the autograph table. But I highly doubt that will happen.

Probably around 2 weeks or so. But it's not official until you actually SEE them sitting at the table. Every year, there's always 3 or 4 people who back out the day before or the day of and a lot of times you don't even know that until you get up to the table and don't see them there.

The unannounced people piss me off, if they're people I like since I Sony have anything for them to sign.

I remember last year I had brought my Young Frankenstein poster for Sutton to sign and I discovered on the way there that she suddenly had to cancel because of a family emergency. But it was a great supersize when Andrea Martin showed up unannounced, so on the bright side the poster did get signed by someone! As for stuff I'm looking for:

- Heathers Show Jacket (I know for a fact they were made and I hope someone donated theirs).
- Violet Cast Signed Playbill and/or window card
- Cheap Playbills (for trading and me)
- Cheap Window Cards
- Show Jackets in General
- Anything That Catches My Eye

I'm really not picky at the flea market. I like a wide range of shows and if the price is right and I want it enough I will buy it. Plus you never know what you could find. Every year I find something unexpected.

As for people I would love to meet my #1 is Betty Buckley. I want her to sign my Carrie poster SO bad! Lol.

Sorano916, I'm not sure if they'll have tables, but you may be able to find stuff from those shows regardless.

^ I think it really depends. Last year there was very little Merch from shows that closed. I was looking everywhere for Drood stuff but there was none to be found.

You'll likely find stuff from all current shows, shows that have recently closed and shows from the past few seasons. At the end of the day though (and speaking from experience), the only shirts that are left are generally the smallest sizes you could imagine. If you're looking for Mediums, Larges or even XL's, you'll be out of luck.

Probably $5-$10. I'm not big on show shirts but I think that's around what I've spent in the past when I did get one.

I mostly look for props and other rare items. Last year, I bought almost everything that the Matilda table sold as most of it was props and hand-made items. This year I am looking for some Bridges Merch and some souvenir programs from closed shows that I saw like Rocky.

When do they usually announce autograph table appearances ? Does anyone know

Phillytheatreguy they collect at the theatre during the winter holidays, I think.

BCEFA does spring and winter collections. But no, not during the flea market.

I loved some of those Wicked shirts. I didn't get one because I didn't like Wicked enough, though!
