BCEFA Flea Market 2018 Collectors Unite! — Page 5

I’m gonna echo everyone saying things were overpriced. Table volunteers even seemed smug about their pricing. $15 for mugs - not even official Broadway mugs - is super steep. I was also hoping for more prop-type things but there was very little selection for items of that sort. Most stuff was from post-2000 in general.

Here’s what I picked up:

SpongeBob program $5
Oh, Hello magnet $1
Angels in America souvenir cup $5
Lobby Hero promotional script $10
Three Tall Women glass $1

Did Once ever have an actual window card? I have a poster with Milioti and Kazee but was a standard window card produced when they left the cast?

I dont think so. The window card with Kazee and Milioti also has the Jacobs theatre name on it. I bought one signed by the cast during their BC/EFA fundraising drive. The woman selling them said that once those were gone, there wouldn't be another. They were selling well signed but not without signatures.

It comes in a box with artwork that is similar to what was on the walls in the theater lobby

the hard cover book, a press quote book, also an enevelope with a wax seal that i dont want to break open

So happy I was able to go to this. Despite the (loud) crowds and people having a habit of stopping in the middle of the sidewalk so you couldn't walk (which, to be fair, happens at every flea market ever LOL), I had a marvelous time and it was definitely worth the 3 hour drive. We will be going back next year, definitely. I didn't get a chance to stop for the poster, though--does anyone know if BC/EFA sells any of the leftover posters later on in the year?

Managed to snag a full set of the signed Anastasia posters I'd been envious of ever since the first anniversary posters were released, an opening night shot glass from Anastasia ($10, which I didn't think was that bad), the Tony voter packages for A Doll's House Pt 2 and The Little Foxes (two of my favorite plays, and TLF is my favorite play period), and one of the Carousel star pieces. I spent more than I expected, but it was still fun!

Other highlight: Tyne Daly's table! What a kind, funny woman; I could have stayed at that table all day listening to her talk about her career or the items she was selling.

One question for folks: the Tony voter package for Hello, Dolly! was on sale at the Telecharge booth for a whopping $300; does anyone know why that one was literally 10x as expensive as all the other packages? Especially since I saw people mention finding the flipbooks elsewhere for $20 or so?

The flip books of Bette's dinner scene? I got one for $1 and that was at the beginning of the day! What else was included in the Tony voter package? Was it signed by Bette? $300 seems outrageous.

Was really looking for a GHD script/props but I didn't know what to actually look for. And I was looking for a War Paint magnet and they were sold out at the theater when I went closing nice, so they were sold out at the flea as well.

I did feel very successful though, and walked away with everything I really wanted and more:

GHD windowcard - $15

SITPWG poster - $1

one of those Broadway Cares ornaments and totes that are always insanely overpriced - $30

Falsettos Playbill in almost perfect condition (screaming) - $10

2 Kinky Boots cups - $5

Spongebob Program and Rockettes program - $4 total

6 Pik-A-Tkt - $5

Full cast signed War Paint playbill - $15 (snagged right at the end)



And I ended up winning the matinee to SOR so I got a program and a magnet there as well. Loved the show!

Where did you find it for $1? Curtain Call? But yeah, the package was the flipbook, the OBC CD, the collected reviews book, and the original Bette program. I couldn't get a good enough look at the program to see if it was signed, but I don't think it was. The only thing I had never seen before was the collected reviews book which, while hardcover, was not worth the asking price if something in there wasn't signed.
