Finding Old Playbills from Nat'l Tours

Hi everyone! This is something that's been bothering me for a while now, and I figured this was a good place to ask for advice. When I was little (around 4-6 years old) my parents used to take me to touring productions that played in Boston and over the years, I've lost the majority of the Playbills from those shows, which kills me because one of my favorite things in the world is my Playbill collection. I've looked around on Ebay a little bit and haven't been able to find much, so I was wondering if anyone else had any sources where these Playbills might be found. Obviously since I'm specifically looking for Playbills from Boston and they're all from more than ten years ago, I'm guessing a lot of them might be irretrievable, but I figured I should ask anyway.

(The ones I'm looking for specifically are The Wizard of Oz (starring Eartha Kitt), Annie (1999 tour), Beauty and the Beast (2001 tour), and The Sound of Music (I think the tour was from 1999-2000 or somewhere around there.))

Any advice/sources would be much appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!

The Kitt Oz tour occasionally has Playbills and programs surface on ebay from time to time, but doubtful from Boston specifically.
