No, you got robbed. But I am feeling generous. I will give you your $25 back and take them off your hands. 
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I'm not sure of the marketability of Playbills, but I bet there is a least $25 worth of enjoyment and theater history in the box.
I would second the bid of CapnHook!
Enjoy them!

Do you mean poring, or is that a Freudian slip?

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Posted: 6/15/09 at 8:35pmSome good ones in there - no Moose Murders or anything super rare, but a few good titles. It's a very 80s-90s box of Playbills.

I recognized about 50 of the titles.
Are YOU happy with your purchase? That's all that matters, really.
