It looks like it was signed by everyone in the cast, including Carol Channing. Anyone know how much this would be worth?

The poster is from the revival, it is not the original from 1964.

I wouldn't say it has no market value but it is of limited value since it is of a more recent production. With or without signatures.

Hello:

Your Hello, Dolly! window card poster is from 1982, a Los Angeles Civic Light Opera production.

There has been a similar one on eBay for $75.00 or best offer and it hasn't sold for quite some time. It may be easier to sell and ship unframed.

All the best,

Danny

I have wondered the same about my many signed and unsigned window cards. I noticed the prices keep going up at Triton Gallery and assumed that mine were increasing in value also. Then i looked on ebay. it seems that no one wants these things at any price. This leads me to conclude that there is no value; that i will continue to enjoy them and then, after i am gone, well, i don't want to think about what will happen to them. they are my wonderful memories but memories don't transfer well. Thoughts?

I'd say it's worth around $200 since its signed by Channing. If it were signed by the entire OBC, well then that would be an entirely different story.

Great poster. I saw this production at the Dorothy Chandler in Sept 1982.

As with any "collectible," it's worth exactly what someone will pay for it. You can "price it" at any amount but is it "worth" that? Hardly.

Ask the idiots who sunk thousands of dollars into collecting Happy Meal toys or Beanie Babies.
