Tried doing a search on this, but couldn't find anything. Please forgive me if there's already something.

 

Is anyone collecting these cards, available so far only at Theatre Circle? I'm only about 5 or 6 cards away from completing the Summer 2015 Preview Edition set, if anyone else is collecting and would like to trade, let me know!

I think they are also available at the small store in Shubert Alley.
I'm interested in trading, I am about 10 cards away from completing the set. PM me if you would like to trade!

I'm such a sucker for trading cards! Are they available for purchase at the store? If so, how much do they cost?  

 

(And one last question: would either of you be willing to post a picture of one, please?)

The cards are amazing! The first series has 75 cards total. Beautiful artwork done by Squigs. Here's the website - ;">https://thelightsofbroadway.nyc/

It's a fabulous idea that should have been concocted ages ago! I too am a sucker for collectible little things like trading cards...and I'm trying to think up a game you could play with 'em. Lol.

These totally went under my radar!

Do they still do the packs of cards with all of the season's Playbill covers?

Oh my goodness, those are awesome!

Could anyone please tell me how much the packets cost?  (I am hoping to get some at the Broadway flea market since the artist told me they would be for sale there.)

Thank you!

Talk about flying under the radar....for someone who is usually aware of most things Broadway, I missed this completely! As an art lover, and a card lover, I MUST find some of these! Where are they still available? We will be at Flea this weekend.

@delongpre- They are (I think) still available at the Shubert Alley Theatre shop and it's sister store.  The artist sent me a message on Facebook when I asked about them and said he would definitely be at the Flea market with a table, and thought he would have packets, some individual cards, and some autographed cards for sale. But, he may have a per-person limit on the number of packets that can be bought.

Are there statistics on the back of the card?  And what statistics?  Their IBDB listing?  Do the shows have opening dates and song lists?

Hi! Anyone have an extra Sondheim card they would be willing to sell? Pm me. Thanks!

Just grabbed 2 packs in Shubert Alley. The guy said that the new ones I gather will be the official first edition are not ready yet. There was to be a big launch and they were supposed to be at the flea market. He also said that a website will go up when they are released. Evidentally people are going into the sister store and trading cards.

Now that the online shop for these cards has opened, I'd like to see this post revived. Ordered 5 autumn packs and 8 summer packs, so I'll see what I get.

To those who are wanting to collect, you can buy them at Shubert Alley, Theatre Circle, or http://www.thelightsofbroadway.nyc/shop 

 

There are 75 cards in both the summer and autumn sets, with 2 "special edition" cards that are distributed in the autumn packs.  So, basically, you should get about 13 packs from each set.

 

Just some general info that Squigs has given to traders in the FB group:

- For the Summer 2015/ Test set, there are 400 prints of each card

 

- In the Autumn 2015 set (with the exception being special edition cards), there were 800 made of each

 

- 100 signed special edition cards are in packets (50 signed by Kelli O'Hara and 50 signed by Christian Borle)

 

- 2 special edition cards are NOT in packets for "Iain Loves Theatre" and George Takei-- 200 were printed of each design.

 

Good luck collecting!

I would go for trading cards of Famous Broadway Flops

On the websight they raised the price of the summer pack to $8.00. I am assuming if you buy the multiple pack deal, you get what you get and will still have to trade.

Yes.  The prices were raised to $8 per pack for the Summer set a couple weeks ago in the store.  Apparently, this will be happening each time as supplies go down and a new set is released.  So, the Autumn set will also cost $8/pack when the next edition (Spring 2016) is released.

Bought a few of the autumn packs, but the summer packs were sold out online before I could order them.

Does anyone have any summer packs they would be willing to sell me?

This is such a cool and innovative idea. Unfortunately, on Annaleigh Ashford's card, she's depicted with blue eyes instead of brown eyes. Or at least that's what she looks like on the site. Maybe they fixed it. Anyone have that card?
