How Do You Store Your Playbills?- Page 2

I currently have them in a few large three ring binders in normal sheet protectors. I'm in the middle of indexing them, so they're all in alphabetical order as well.

The Playbill binders seem impractical to me. Although the playbills fit nicely into the sleeves (of the expensive one), they only hold 18. The cheaper ones, that hold only 16, snap the playbills in and seem like they might damage them. I don't think that some I have would survive the trauma.

I frame all of my playbills and hang them on the wall in my bedroom.

In the trash. It's only now, after all these years, that I wish I had saved a few of them.

If you put the Playbills on both sides of the sleeves, the binder holds about 26.

I keep my playbills in the binders without plastic
at the end of the performance i usually collect a few more, which i cut the covers off and put them in a frame of six with the ticket stubs with them. They make great decorations

I've had plastic sleeves and binders lying around the house forever so I put them in there, but I took them out to look at so often that they're all just in the bootom drawer of my desk. I'm thinking of getting those plastic sleeve hanger thingies for my walls and keeping them in there. That way, if I want to look at one I don't have to lug the whole binder. I'm also in the process of framing my signed ones.

I am building a Playbill "gallery" in my bedroom above my nightstand. I use small binder clips to hold the top and bottom closed of each Playbill, and then I remove three of the four metal clips so the remaining one functions as the hanger. It looks great to see them all at once:



I plan to continue adding vertical rows of five as I collect more Playbills.

Playbill binders for the most part. Some of mine are in frames with my autographed posters.

currently mine are all piled up on a shelf. I'll probobly get around to putting them on my wall in a playbill time-line type thing. I don't want to put them in binders because then I won't be able to look at them all at once.

For me, the signed ones are all in those special frames made by Playbill. The rest are all "displayed" on dressers throughout my room. And duplicates go in the binder that Playbill makes. I have a lot of duplicates, not just from seeing a show twice, but from going to most shows with my parents, and somehow I end up with theirs :)

Those of you that mention having toploaders, where are you buying yours and what size are they? I've searched The Container Store for something similar to what Playbill sells (preferably archival) but cannot find anything there, so just curious what you guys are getting. I only have touring shows so far until I come to NYC in October this year.
