No, you got robbed. But I am feeling generous. I will give you your $25 back and take them off your hands.

Does anyone recognize all of these shows?

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?

Any of them in color?

Some 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.

Incase you are interested, it's about Mummenschanz:

I recognized the name because they appeared on season 1 of the Muppet Show.

I recognized about 50 of the titles.


Are YOU happy with your purchase? That's all that matters, really.
